Inna's belt can out dps WH it depends highly on the weapon you are using as it applies its 8% better to black damage weapons not manticores. Lacuni's is the highest DPS bracer you can get, but as an overall even a perfect 100 dex 100vit 80res 6crit roll won't be as good as 200 dex 200vit 80res 6crit 300+armor rolled rare bracer in overall EHP/DPS effectiveness. This is assuming perfect rolls, so are subjective to availability and how many billions you got to buy gear. Keep in mind ALL gearing is based off of your weapon used, you can easily swap ASI for AVG Damage if you use a 1-H and still hit high APS.
BiS stuff doesn't actually mean best in game play, you NEED the ability to gloom and vault to be efficient, and you will lose EHP/DPS for it no matter what you gear with. You also NEED a decent life pool and EHP so that you can survive your own damage vs a reflect mob before the heal tick happens from gloom/lifesteal. Things that aren't shown on paper matter a lot in actual game play.
I run a legacy build with decent ehp, so I would agree with you that there are many utility mods that help more than char sheet upgrades.
Also, would you really take a perfect rare over a perfect lacuni roll? I guess I am biased as a manticore-user (as you say, weapon choice influences build), but I would think that at an optimal level your ehp should be overkill. Lack of pick-up radius would sway my choice, however.
I'm confused about the belt comment, what are you referring to?
@rabiddonkey: all cloaks can roll max disc. Inna's chest can't.
