Sleeper loots

[Kelor]

Are the sleeper loots that great?
Is SoD best warrior aggro weapon?
Im guessing the robe is BIS for monk though?

Depends who you ask. Primals are handy. Rest of the loot is okay.

In theory it should be, but slows and poisons are unclassically high on the threat meter here. So high that a 15/20 + proc blade of carnage would struggle next to a slow/poison weapon. It's absolutely best droppable aggro, but there are a handful of no-drops that I would place higher than it. Think of it more like a Rolex of tank weapons.

Yes

We should bug report this again, really. Sometime around March Verant hugely reduced spell threat across the board. Currently a slow is like 750 hate and it should be 350, etc. A Warrior should actually be able to tank with two fast weapons and no procs at all.

Also, that sig is awesome. The SoDs as fingers were an excellent touch.

Primals are good.
SoD is good.
Shroud is good. (This gets exponentially better on a short/true time line server and not every monk going into ST already has PD robe and fungi).
Clawed Guardian Bracer is good.

Gnome Mask is just a novelty/fashion quest (unless you count functionality of wall clipping).

Resistance Stones are meh, people raiding ST should already hit 255 in what ever resist they need. Even then resists are only needed on a few classes/fights, as walls work better than any resist gear in Velious.
Staff of Morning Dew/Elder Claws/Writ of Dragonkind - big meh, okay if you don't have your caster/priest epic.
Smolder - meh
Shield of the Clawed Guardian - meh
Dragon Scaled Mask is okay, better stuff in NToV.
Dainty Gloves - I guess if you really like CHA builds for your enchanter/bards.

Alt this point in our timeline:

Salindrite Dagger should be 11/18.
SoD should be 10/18.
2 hand primal should be 33/35.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard dragon AoEs are all broken on P99, in that they have lure modifiers and are incredibly difficult to resist?

correct, resists are very, very fucked up on this server, especially when it comes to high end mob aoe spells

There are two versions on a number of the dragon AoEs one version having a 0 mod the other having -150 mod. There are bug report threads trying to figure out which one goes where.

Is there a particular dragon you are asking about?

[zanderklocke]

I really haven't been hearing any guild talk about primals on their update threads. Are people still getting much if any of these off the golems? I don't even see the golems mentioned on forums update posts anymore.

[Erati]

Primals still drop but golems no longer drop them each time so its a sorry state of affairs in ST
