you don't need the dex on shide, and w/ coa build, you get stacked resists easily w/o any res on ammy...
there are better ammys than a shide.
2/20 w/ nice mods like mine,
or if you wanna do circ build, a very sexy opption is 2sin, 5-10 fcr, mass str, nice res all, then you can wear bk ring instead of fcr ring.

both those are better than shide imo.

and coa bumps you up to next fhr breakpoint, which is always useful, especially vs a bone nec.


Nice ammy, but that shide has 59 bo'able life and res. But then again, I don't play east so I don't have experience with that ammy.

Yeah, the kind of ammy I have in mind is more along the lines of 2 sin/20 fcr/60 life/20 all res. Thats ideal of course. Something like 2 sin/17 fcr/55 life would be good though.

well....1 str= 3 life...and considering i will be using ~20 str from my ammy, that's 60 life there.
and nn res on the ammy, so ez to stack res w/ coa build...but i guess the extra res means more 36/20's.

You're ammy is good, and of course it exists, but str isn't needed on ammy either imo (atleast if you do the ias bug) because you have 2 jewel slots on the coa.

i always keep 15 ias/15 res jewel in helm, because i cannot live w/o 9fps trapping...
i just am having a little trouble w/ what to put in other socket, and w/ my ammy, i don't need a -req jewel, so i got a lot of options.

just iso some of my friends to be on more so i can get input from some of my friends.

How is my reasoning biased? FRW is a suffix, so it must take the place of a suffix. Visionary is a prefix, so it must take the place of a prefix. That's how it works. And yes, 20 res is good, but 4 small charms can make up that 20 res, and the AR gained from visionary is more than you would get from four 20/36 charms.


because you think frw would steal a useful mod when in reality your precious visionary has equal chance of stealing just as good or even better mod.

I don't care for visionary circlets at all.
They're all overpriced, and I've honestly yet to see a 2/20/2os visionary circ out there,
i'd take that extra socket any day over vis mod considering visionary doesn't give that much ar anyways.
That's just my preference though.....always fools claws for ar too.

Well, there are certain must-have mods before considering a circlet imo. These are 2 sin, 2 socket, 20 fcr. At that point, visionary at most can take the spot of 20 all res, while frw can take the spot of 30 str/20 dex/60 life etc.

Yes, 2 sockets is more important than visionary imo.

good luck for that to spawn, oh yeah.... you dont have to wait for it to spawn.

yes, visionary is garbage mod and 20 dex ain't really that useable. and str is needed only if you use shadow dancers.

nice theorycrafting but i'd just stick to importing items since you obviously have no clue what works in pvp and what doesn't.

raaaggggeeee!!!

what's this if you use sdancers?
mass dex, 30 fhr, 2 shadow skills....what sin wouldn't use it?
i use on trapper and hybrid, no other substitute imo.
mods of importance to me would be: 2 sin, 20fcr, 2 open sockets, 30 str, 60 life, 20 res all, 30 frw, visionary, 20 dex.

the 30 str also gives you more options on what stats you can have on your ring (maybe life+ life rep instead of str+ life/life rep)
