I haven´t played at cap so I haven´t taken my time to re-evaluate the gear changes... ... as it stands right now I haven´t dabbled with my current setup. I swapped out a pair boots for slavers, but thats it...

Have you guys made any changes to your item setups and what gems do you find in U50?

I was more thinking if people are revisiting old set pieces or abandoning their previous 'core'  sets.

i.e. Adherent is listed as artifact but is actually still profane and thus stacks with other set-combos.

Mythic/reaper bonused slavers gear are in most cases just as good as raid gear, perhaps even better since mythic + reaper bonus on slavers items aren't that tough to get.. (think I got 6-8 various pieces of that)...

Haven´t really examined other items, as they either seem weaker or not very compatible with my setups. I might have overlooked something, hence the thread.

To clarify, I think once more data is available on wiki and character builder with the updated stats, these items along with any others will be used and mixed and matched to best get the stats people are lookin  for without discrimination as to what expansion/time period they came from. 

There are a few people who have builds already using upgraded stats etc that are using a wide variety of different set bonuses, augment sets, and a wide range of gear from up to 5ish expansions ago.  People are farming chrono every day now for stuff from there to give you some idea.  The gem from there seems to be popular again.

In short buy bank space and shared bank space, you’ll need it.

Dude, I think we all know that your Sorc has always been 'ruined' if your posts in the build section over the last year are any indicator of your abilities.

Hey you figure out dex rogues yet? RFLMFAO!

The really funny part here is that Nomoreo is entirely unaware of the irony of complaining about my changing quote contents by whining about a slam-post in which I quoted him verbatim because what he said was so fucking stupid I could never think of anything better, LMFAO!

Tell us more about dex rogues Nomore!

It was about a discussion in the build section about the viability/comparison between a dex based rogue and the int based one.

One of the main points of the superiority of the int based rogue was the possibility to use "know the angles" in the harper tree to get a nice boost in dps. This was some time ago though,  back even before all battle trances (as they are now called) were redesigned to be considered insight bonus.

In THEORY (I may check next time I play a rogue) dex and int based rogues are now even since they both get access to their main ability battle trance even if, so I've heard at least, keeping up the dex based battle trance is a massive pain in the butt (because horizon walker built the ssg way). Don't know, can't be bothered to check yet

Oh I remember the KTA question.

and a much much bigger problem concerning going INT based is the abysmal gear setups surrounding that stat. You are stuck relying on crafting the INT on Sharn items like Collective Sights, Capelet or other items that are more related to casting than melee/ranged. Your main concern as a rogue should be stacking up as much SA as possible into your build, and in my experience DEX synergises better.
Also do not forget that DEX grants AC and Reflex which is sorely needed in higher reapers.

Prove me wrong though.

What new set are you using over sharn-set?

Aren´t all of them artifact pieces on equal or lower value then most sharn sets? I´m still using 3 pc sharn, CC, one borderland ring.

btw not being facetious.
