Claw set is great. For the record, it is possible to fit in Claw set, Silent Avenger set, and Adherent set... slotwise. Currently wearing all three. Plus Slavers trinket and cove hat with superior false life and jump.

It's not optimal by any means, but it's good enough. At the very least, I am getting minor bumps from Mythic and / or Reaper bonuses.

Beyond heroics.

The new ml 4 items from the market chain are much better than crafted at level.

It's a lot harder to answer that now. Has to be on an item by item basis since heroic level gearing is so spread out. Though most of the new or redone items have more effects, unique effects that cannot be found or made otherwise, or are parts of set bonuses and have stats that cannot be crafted onto that slot using cannith.

Even if some items are close to each other in terms of value, the ability to place stats where they could not normally be crafted can change numerous gear pieces around. You have to come up with a gear choice and then even out the gains and losses by comparing the sets.

Slavers at 8 beats cannith due to the versatility of putting any ability stats on any of the 6 slots while getting a set bonus.

Take the new redone marketplace items. The ml 4 necklace in particular ( Grim's Bracelet ) has an extra effect slot with doublestrike 4%. That extra effect slot isn't on cc until ml 10. That is probably the best necklace until slavers, ravenloft, or cc ml 10.

I think ravenloft items at level 10 because adherent is an awesome set bonus. 5 mp/rp, 10 neg/rep/pos hamp, 5 prr, 10 usp. That is overall stronger than slavers for ranged and melee.

The bracers from ravenloft have what amounts to 4 effect slot items, with 2 of those effects on each item being ones that cc cannot slot on the wrist, and the bracers are effectively a status of prefix/suffix/+2 extra effect slots, plus the versatility of shifting slots around that cc could not, and counting for a set bonus. Get a reaper/mythic bonus for extra creep.   

Around 14~ the items start to shift around again. Take Shimmer for an example; it allows maxing of enchantment focus and is a spell pen item. That is the versatility of like having goggles and a cloak if using cc, except on one item. Which allows the eye slot to focus on another primary or secondary spell school. Jorgundal's Collar and Backstabber's Gloves are unique and probably bis on almost every melee. The gloves are for sure bis on every ranged and melee both.

You seem to value DS and SA in heroics. If the R gets high enough that I cannot massacre the trash within a combo, I doubt a few % of DS would've saved the day. Beyond R3 heroic-melee is just shit anyway.

The level 4 Mimic cloak is pretty good for early levels:

Cloak of the Mimic (lvl 4)-

Sticky Goo Guard
Deathblock
Fortification +55%
DR 5/Law
Green Augment Slot

Dr 5 at that level is actually very strong.

Yup!

Look at your Mabar handwraps, now back at the daggers.  Now back at the handwraps, now back at the daggers.  These are the weapons your weapons could DPS like if they were made by Lynabell.

That's just a stupid suggestion for a 'solution.' 

Wait, what's this you say?  Level 8 blue augs for fortification?   Speaking of being behind the curve...  It only took you two years to realize.

Here's a refresher since I realize it probably gets hard to keep track of all the idiotic bs you spew.

You should get back on your meds and stop posting Frank.  You're too stupid to leave well enough alone and just embarrass yourself.

Hey chew toy, while you're waxing poetic about me being 2 years behind the times (a direct copycat of my pointing out your failure to understand aggro, so congratulations for originality?) you might want to consider that from Aug, 2016 to Aug, 2018 the world didn't stand still, except when it comes to your mentality.

Two years ago I wore old CC 100% fort items or named items like Nightforge Gorget.  Those were great at the time.  Today, not so much.  Because the game has changed, but you missed it.  And as I pointed out, and you quoted me so thanks for confirming that your reading comprehension is just utter shit, new CC and new itemization doesn't provide 100% fort at low levels.  The augment does.  So since I don't sit stagnant like you, I have changed how I approach fortification.

Congratulations on being a complete and utter tool who isn't capable of change even while things change around her.  You are the definition of obsolete.

Gets hard to keep your own stupid straight, doesn't it Fran(k)?  Not only are you consistently wrong and stupid, you contradict yourself more than Trump.  That's impressive in a pathethic way.

It's good to know that you've finally come around to the better way of doing fortification that the non-mouthbreathers figured out 2 years ago though.  Maybe there's hope for you.

Sigh... there has been enough 15 year old girl fighting in here lately as it is. Now this. does anyone else get sleepy by this stupid ass shit?

tl;dr Your shtick is old.

The dagger is amazing, and so is the scimitar at ml 4. Guaranteed vorpal and disruptor for early levels. SSG is really hitting some home runs lately.

Now if they can only clean up some epic loot. The doj-era stuff that is ml 28 with ml 23 stats. That should round out epic tring gear sets, since currently the vast majority is trash next to cannith crafted items.
