  • Grandmaster DoN silk vs plate + Symbl question

    OK I have had a quick search and did not actually find any finished GM silk stats. That being said I have to pose my point as a question because I have no facts to base it on.

    GM plate chest vs Masters plate chest = + 48ac and stats
    GM plate legs vs Masters plate legs = + 40ish ac and stats.

    Soooo considering this AC is directly from the armour itself and not the augment which both silk and plate will use..... What exactly could the GM silk have to make it such a comparatively massive upgrade to the masters ?

    You get what I mean ?

    The AC alone is a huge bonus for tank classes. What is there that you could possibly give silk classes that would be equal to this ? It needs to be built into the armour.


    That being said.... I can think of nothing.

    So.... What do we have then. Silk classes now require TWICE as many drops ( 2 silks = swatch ) from a mob that only exists in a few missions compared to drakes which are in many more. All to make an item that I imagine will be an improvement over Masters silk armour + GM symbol of maybe 10hp 10 mana 10 saves and 10 stats.(primarily int/wis too I bet) Woohoo.

    As far as I can see the only thing they could do to make GM silk even remotely worth the trouble is to build an effect/focus into the armour. Short of that it is worthless.

    Can anyone either :
    1) agree
    2) disagree
    3) track down and post stats on GM silk ( eludes me so far)

    My GM plate stats are not exact. My Masters vs GM silk stats are not exact. I have no facts to back up my remarks as I have not even heard of GM silk finished pieces. There have been NO combines of coarse silk swatches on my server. If you wish to see what has or has not been made on your server do a buyer search on grandmasters/coarse/glossy etc. It seems only items that are/have been made/have dropped on your server will be shown in the results.

    Anyone have some input here please ?

    Not a primal scream. I do not have any basis to rant..... yet.
    Give me something to get upset about and I will post in PS but untill then I just want to see what people think.

    On another note. I have been meaning to look into the tradeskill flag on type 11 symbols. After much brain racking and comparing what DoN cultural is and is not flagged and a few other things there are only a few possibilities I can come up with.
    1) an error they are in no hurry to fix
    2) they are in fact used in a recipe not in game yet.
    3) they are used in something for which no books were put in game yet to help us.
    4) This is my favourite but I gotta get round to testing it yet - The diety is changeable. How is beyond me just now but fingers crossed on a trivial recipe.

    Not to worry. Best of luck folks Hope some of you have some input. Be interested to hear from you all.

    Well, you say it's not a rant, but it sure does sound like you expect it to be one soon enough.

    Give things time; see what the finished stats on the armor are. As much as we like to bash SOE, I suspect someone balanced the armor sets against each other at least a little bit. There will be plenty of time for the appropriate reaction once the facts are known.

    Also, if there is a recipe to change the deity of a symbol, why bother with deity specific symbols at all? I would hope that is not the intent. Would hate to see some DE necro converting a Brell Serillis symbol!

      This means that I don't need to wait for the GM silk legs. The masters silk legs with a GM Aug will be fine. Good news!

      However I want them for the reason that I just do - like wanting to get to 250 skill even when 240 + GL was the same!

        I can think of something that would be as useful as 40 AC to a tank.

        Focus effects. Even simple ones.

          Has anyone made GM silk yet?

          I've been searching for stats on it for a bit now.
