Ideas for DRG updates

[Anucris]

Not to mention the individual bonuses per piece. I actually wouldn't even bother someone who Did full time it. Ur only counter argument would've a full haste set in which case most mobs go down in 3-4 attack rounds at the most so full haste is only necessary in longer fights. Congrats to all drg with full +2. And sorry if u don't have it noodles

Glad I made my point. Btw 4 of the 5 pieces were in ur ideal WS set. I don't have twilight helm or I'd use it also.

If you're point was you're an idiot and don't know why haste is worthwhile even at low numbers or on quick fights, then yes, you made your point.

[Anucris]

seriously u think haste makes much difference on a 2-3 swing fight.... sure its worthwhile and everyone needs a haste set, but theres no reason care so much about pple running around with only 18% haste, i saw a 90 drg today with a lvl 77 lance. i wasnt mad at em. i felt sorry for em. i always liked helpin other drg out

Being the best you can for a DD = being able to kill mobs as quickly as possible. That's it. Even if a fight only takes 2-3 sings per melee, if the melees are at 26% haste, they will kill it faster than if they were at 18% haste.

Generalisations, exceptions exist etc, but over time they will average faster fight times. A proper haste set increases your damage than using 5/5 AF3+2. It has been tested and proven. It's even obvious just from doing some basic maths of the stats, yet you still use 5/5 Af3+2. You're using worse armor than stuff which is easilly available just because it's rare. Essentially, you're wearing a big purple denali bonnet. If you think shit rare item > good common item, then you're already a lost cause.

You helping other drgs out sounds like the blind leading the blind.

10% comes more often than u think

Well, actually (this is gonna blow your mind) it comes 10% of the time. But you TP in 5/5 AF3+2, so not like you know any better.

[Anucris]

Yeah I like my stronger and DA +4% gloves over my aces most of the time. So what. The set is very nice. And if u think it's crap then don't get it. And yeah 10% is 10%. That's such an intelligent comment and never said I always tp in 5/5. I said everyone needs a haste set. I could pop on 30%+ haste if it wasn't capped. Point is I don't gripe at pple who do. Do u argue just to argue or something

[noodles355]

Well you said "10% comes more often than you think". I think 10% comes 10% of the time, so it obviously doesn't come more often than I think on average does it?

You basically just said "I like wearing my Denali Bonnet. So what?" we're not arguing for the sake of arguing. We're arguing with you because it's not ok to say "This more difficult to obtain, but worse option is ok". That's what you're doing. You can buy Dusk Gloves and perle legs off the AH for dirt cheap. Suggesting it's ok to use AF3+2 for TP over those is just wrong. They are worse. The problem is when you say It's ok to do so, other people who come and read the forum will think it's ok too.

tl;dr It's not cool to say "i'm ok with gimping my damage so I can wear something shiney and rare, so you can to!" Just cus you are happy being a gimp doesn't mean you should lead other people down the same path.

You may like to gimp yourself by using something rarer and shiney but don't bring other people down with you.

AF3+2 gloves might be useful in the future for TPing if new gear comes out and we can make up the haste loss in another slot, but until then, Timarli or Dusk+1 are better.
