    What the Update brings to Thief! (Gear) (Very little complaining)

    Hey guys! Just taking a look at some of the epic gear available. Figured i'd share it and what it could mean for us with my fellow Thief's.

    Now, I'm flat out looking at weapons, you can find them here... But to show you some.

    http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/March_2013_Version_Update_Changes

    ONWARD.

    First up, http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Macoquetza

    Macoquetza
    DMG:58 Delay:200 AGI+8 Water Resist+20 Subtle Blow +7.

    -Higher base damage than Relic/Empyrean 99 (THANKS OBAMA), Outside of that pretty garbage. Can imagine its a d*mn solid Mainhand for any Thief without Relic/Emp (Cause fk you I aint offhanding my relic), especially for Exenterator. I think no good bonuses is going to hurt its offhand (And maybe even mainhand) statues for a lot of THF's.... AGI+8 just isn't enough when STR+10/Atk+15/CritDmg+3% and STR+11/Atk+22 or STR/AGI+10 Acc+15 weapons exist.



    Coalition Dirk - http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Coalition_Dirk
    DMG:47 Delay 211 Accuracy+10 Reives: DMG:54

    -I'll be quite honest, IDK wtf this is, But its crap, even in Rieves, crap.

    Leisilonu - http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Leisilonu
    DMG:52 Delay: 183

    -This one was shown to get Augments. could be a very solid offhand if Augments are good. Shown in the video were DMG:+3, STR+3, DEX+4 - Giving it same base damage as relics (THANKSOBAMA) with some nice fluff stats. If this thing can get Attack or accuracy (not including crit-rate/dmg/etc obvious awesome) it can be a darn solid offhand.

    Nitric Baselard - http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Nitric_Baselard
    DMG:44 Whatever DEX/Acc Weakens defense

    -An off the AH Dagger. Pretty subpar, useful for i guess the mage jobs they slapped on it. a THF can just do the magian DEF-Down trial if he needs it that bad.


    Tzustes Knife/+1 - http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Tzustes_Knife_%2B1

    -Pretty solid off-the-AH Dagger TBH, quite impressive. Acc, atk+11, Haste+2, and Evasion. Now, most THF's don't need that Haste+2, But for someone still using the Assassin+2 Feet/Raiders+2 Hand set, Haste+2 would help them offhand, and i think with its base damage, added accuracy, and the haste if you can make use of it... It'd beat Aluh/Fire magian on some mobs... Namely those with High evasion, or ones you cap fSTR/atk on.

    ---
    Thats it for now, A lot of armor added too but its unsorted so go through it at your own risk

    Now, the really important question:

    How in the freaking flip is half of that stuff pronounced?

    Har, I forgot about checking this stuff as usual. Guess I better get to work.


    -Higher base damage than Relic/Empyrean 99 (THANKS OBAMA)
    That did make my day, thank you. Also yeah I'm not sure how great I feel about that dagger having more base damage than my mandau. Not that it's going to replace it, it's just that... it's wrong.

    T knife might be useful for me. I think I already cap my haste but I always enjoy new additions to further cookie cut my potential. But uh, as usual I wish they'd design some new dagger models more often than not.

    I saw the new Acid bolts but ceased caring when i remembered i havent seen a crossbow since Raider's Boomerang was invented and all these other DEF down things exist >:\

    Though I am happy to see it, I just hope its more DEF Down than Acid or they're pretty much useless except for doing ~20 more damage, which is moot for THF :P

    Got my hands on some Oxidants today.

    Initial duration observations: Fired 10 in a row on various T mobs in Cezaik Hunting Grounds. Each time Def down wore of exactly 60 seconds after applied....was hoping for extended duration

    No testing on -Def down yet.

    Kinda hoping they aren't shaping up to be Acid Bolts with a higher base damage. Cause that'd be useless to THF (Though, Not so much to RNG).

    Oh, and P.S - That new ThUR Tabard is probably the best Exenterator body atm when Accuracy is not needed (In which case, Khepri+Augment win)
