Gear Choice SCH Post 2.1

Royal Boots from CT are BIS.

Not really, HQ Spruce pattens are better

On top you can put 11 DET on Spruce pattens, CT shoes don't worth the time

Only thing I've heard being restored is caster boots.

This is wrong, they are reverting the stats of the Allagan head and pants to the 2.0 version. So you'll lose the crit on the head piece but gain the crit back on the pants.

I think this is somewhat debatable. 3 main stat goes a long way. it's the reason i dropped my astral ring for an i90; i missed out on some exit and vit but MND is so valuable that it outweighed the loss.

Most of the time i90 stuff will win unless you need the HP from melds(T5). People need to remember that crit/det/ss don't have a 1:1 value with MND and MND will always win, hands down.

Have been farming Ultima and Garuda recently, I have to say I'm pretty dissatisfied as a SCH. Our gears choice from these new bosses is pretty much non-existent, there is no reason to farm them at all. I guess in a sense I should be happy I'm not at RNG mercy, but ugh, I hate not having anything to look forward to.

The Vortex Ring of Healing is better than the Allagan ring imo, so I would not say that your gear choices are "non-existent."

I did indeed see later that they're changing those too.

[Kaizersan]

The PVP Feet are arguabily BiS, but other than that... yeah. Literally NONE of the primal items are good for SCH, it's quite sad.



lol nope, it's not worth losing 4 Magic Damage for some crit.

I notice that I crit a lot more with the mog book vs the relic book and no notice in drop in my healing at all maybe only a few points but not enough to make a difference.

Why would you trade 11 Piety for 4 Det and 11 lol-Spell Speed...

why would you trade 4 det and 11 spell speed for 11 lol-piety. on a scholar. who have up to 3 energy drains and an aetherflow per minute

Because 11 SS is completely useless, 11 piety is not, even if you don't have MP problems.
