Purchase of gear prior to Velious release

[kebas239]

Hey all. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, but let me know if I'm not. I'm in the market to purchase tank gear (such as FBSS, Chardok BP and Staff of Battle). Is it worth it to purchase this gear at it's current price considering Velious will be released next weekend?

I was thinking that aside from nerfed items, the value of most of the Kunark and Classic era items would probably go down. Either that, or I would think that some of the new Velious items would be a better deal pricewise than the Kunark/Classic stuff.

What do you guys think?
