SCH BiS With Allagan/AF2/R30

[YuiSasaki]

My first thought was: They're just going to raise the ilvl so why grind PvP for pieces that may no longer be BiS?
My second thought was: But wait, PvP will probably also raise and you'll save whatever the myth equivalent of iLvl whatever using the wolf marks.

How long did it take you to grind up to R30?

I think you are relating to the next content patch (2.2). As far as i know they will introduce new Tomestones for the new gear. Which means it's probably irrelevant to save up mythos.

From my post:

What I meant to say (though it's probably not as clear) was that if they raise the iLvl and you can purchase new gear with those new tomes they're planning on releasing (my "myth equivalent"), then it's likely there will be a PvP item of equal iLvl and some items might have preferable stats.

Yeah, i could've misread your post :|. However, they could introduce new PvP-Items later on and not immediately with 2.2. Well, let's wait and see what will come with 2.2^^

Weapon-Allagan
Head-Allagan/AF2
Chest-AF2
Gloves-Allagan
Belt-Af2
Pants-Allagan/AF2
Shoes-R30 (Gain 21 crit. Lose 11 Piety and 21 Spell speed over Allagan boots)
neck-AF2
Ear-AF2
Wrist-AF2
Ring1-AF2
Ring2-R30( Gain 16 crit. Lose 11 spell speed and 11 det over Vortex Ring)

"But Chronos...u lose 54 stats to gain 37. that seems bad to me" My answer would be that Crit is the most important off stat to a SCH. Crit adlo/succor is insane. 37points is about 2pct extra crit chance. crit also increases the strength of the crit, im not sure by how much tho. Spell speed is worthless because u always have lustrate. 11 piety is no issue since u should never run out of mp anyway. 11 det is = to about 1.5-2 Mind. not much of a loss.

Some would argue that Royal shoes are BiS now but you should never sacrifice mnd/vit for a small increase in crit. The only piece w/o crit now is your head. Grand total crit is 560!

The only problem with this is you gotta be R30, like myself, to be able to use it. Happy Arena gentlemen. It's a fun grind. At this point, if your arent super hardcore, i would recommend just waiting until 2.2 to get i100 stuff and make this entire list pointless.

The validity of this post is correct to some degree- the additional crit is good for aldo- unfortunately succor doesn't get the some benefit aldo gets from crit but still is a nice pack of additional heals. Crit is our best secondary stat, yet you might want to do some more testing instead of blindly falling unto the crit theory- find out the hard cap on crit if there is one, show some testing and then analyze your readings then relay. Other than that it's not a bad list and any SCH should know this list since September. (excluding r30 gear). Good Post Nonetheless

How are you people getting AF2 given that it's not even in the game yet?

:P

everyone has different terms for gear AF2 is what some people use for myth gear because it looks like AF armor but colored different.

I know, my question was strictly to point out the issue :P
Once AF2 is introduced into the game in the coming updates, it will be important for players not to refer to the gear bought with myth tomes as AF2, as this will cause a lot of confusion in the playerbase. It's best to break habits before they become a problem meow. ^-^

How'd you get 560 crit? I equipped all of those and got 550. typo?

Astral Bracelet may be a better choice of its hero counterpart.

You gain +8 Det, +9 Vit, +1 in crit and but you lose 4 Mnd.

To be honest, that is one of the options i would not choose.

As I stated earlier, 4 DTR (or Det whichever abbreviation you appreciate more) equals 1 Mind.
You dont need any further Vita once you reach ~3.6-4k for the most content. Gaining just 1 Crit. Furthermore you also lose 12 Piety, yes of course it is not that relevant, yet it is more relevant than 1 crit.

In other words if you consider switching Myth-Bracelet for the Astral Bracelet it is - in my opinion - not advisable.
