31 ogre sk looking to gear up

[mattrox]

I still have some banded armor including Helm, mask, gorget, mantle, belt and a bracer. I have the Chitlin armor and bronze greaves. I have 4 pieces of Blood Ember Boots, Bracer gauntlets and vambracer. I have Sarnak earring of station and 2 plat fire wedding rings. I am using a poison wind censer. I also have Circlet of Shadows in inventory.

Not sure what I should look to next. Should I invest in something like FBSS or should I look to update out of banded. Don't have a ton of plat right now. Have been slowly updating the gear from my Shaman. Was thinking of putting around 4-6k more in.

PWC will do ok for now but youll want to upgrade it before 50, green jade halberd is a good upgrade.

SK dps is shit already so I would make a haste item low on your priority list. For the same amount of money it would cost to get an FBSS or SCHW you can pick up a jboot mq instead.

I ended up picking up a few sentient pieces bp, greaves, and a bracer. Also grabbed a dark forge helm. all those cost 1100. Figure they may help me with being able to cast more since i am an ogre.

Have not seen much for a weapon that i want except a couple really good 1 handers, but prefer to stick with 2 handed for now. Would it be worth while just to go after really good 2 hander like Granite Face Grinder?

sell pwc, buy deathbringer's rod or aforementioned gjh and you will turn a profit and have a better weapon.

everyone always says to not bother with bought haste on hybrid tanks but i blew my fat wad on an fbss and it suits me fine, but i do a lot of fear kiting. also i already had pretty good weaps (noct/atr and db rod) and as an iksar i didn't have many other upgrade options that didn't cost a billion dollars so there's that.
