Traveler's Boots vs J-Boots

[rollin5k]

Better to spend your platinum funding a tradeskiller(sow pots) than an MQer anyways(jbooties).

Stop buying MQ's and the camps will open to those who want the actual item.

I bought the T-boots on my monk, the thinking was I didn't really need the instant clicky for dispel since epic/robe covers that and would be able to FD in emergencies anyways.

Ended up regretting it because the boots having a cast timer was MUCH more annoying than I thought it would be.

When I'm chain pulling I don't have time to stop and cast for 1.5 seconds if it drops. When my jboots are dispelled during a pull, I don't have time to stop for 1.5 seconds and cast a new buff. If you buy Tboots and *dont* regret it, you're probably not a very good monk. Buy Jboots or camp your own - Tboots shouldn't even be an option for a Monk

I've known about Traveler's Boots for a while, but the instacast on JBoots is nice.

I usually just go for the SRo AC when I'm helping someone get their JBoots. It can be a bit of a time investment depending on RNG but it gives whoever's with me a sense of accomplishment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also waiting in line is boring so screw that. It's more fun to race someone to the AC!

Hear hear to this. I'm just happy the sro ac is so undercamped, lets me and my friends pick up jboots for our characters.

Pretty sure traveler's boots have been out for a long long time in the timeline, fwiw. I don't remember exactly when they came out but it was back in Kunark at the latest.

I strafe run to get back to any pull spots without a mob beating on me (being a good monk and all), so don't worry about that. Furthermore, I'm level 58 so beyond pulling in Dreadlands or anything like that. The only feasible outdoor zone I can think of for exp is KC, and that is such a shit zone. I would only use the boots for travel from point A to point B.

As I stated, I was just wondering on any raid target encounters if jboots insta cast are necessary.

My gnome only uses sow pots, worth 10plat a click! He also ports for like 50plat a port on average! I could not avoid porting at least 3 to 4 times a day if i tried, so free sow pots for life!

Jboots too slow for this gnome.
My monk has jboots, wish i had a sow instead all the time.
