Explorer's Tabard (Why?)

[Silvano]

Yes. Explorer's Tabard is the better choice than Drachenmail end-game wise. While the enhance invigorate is nice, without gearswap you're only hurting yourself unless you have a triple melded acc hart guisarme laying around somewhere. Unless you're hitting the 460+ without food and buffs I would definitely pick explorer's or a double-triple melded cobalt hauby (red).

Going to pick out the Hart Guisarme out of all of that, since the +50 crit power is = to about 8.6% more damage on r50 mobs. Using a Hart Guisarme is only allowable if you do not have access to a primal weapon, damage-wise. I had a double melded (12pie, 17str) hart, and the damage was still significantly higher with Ifrit's Harpoon from the higher base damage, which lifted my stat ceilings.

Hi all.

I was wondering why no one had mentioned the Tortoiseshell Scale mail yet. It has (off the top of my head, so I may need to be corrected) peity, acc, and dex. Plus, it's a body piece so you can meld more piety to it. Don't think they are too expensive nowadays. I know the mats arent too hard to come by.

Thoughts?

Unofrtunately the Cobalt Haubergeon is just better any way you slice it.
