I just got very luck in a group and got a nice item to drop so once i sell it I should have some pp to spend. aside from rings what would be some good items to buy with about 8k? thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Peacebringer

I am in a similar boat. I was curious about peoples thoughts on dropping it all into an FBSS or if I'd be better off with more overall improvements.

FBSS, haste is kind of game changing for a pure melee.

Is there any moderately accurate speculation about the price of an FBSS changing with Velious? I didn't remember much in the way of new tradeable haste items...

It definitely goes down, because of Silver Chitin Hand Wraps.

Xendel · #7 04-14-2014, 11:03 AM

A most excellent point. I suppose I may save a bit more and look to purchase a bit after Velious.

I'm not an expert but I'd say to get Haste and then check out this chart if you're looking into weapons:

Wu's Quivering + FBSS would outdamage a Peacebringer. Rings are a good upgrade. Outside of that I'd try to get as much STR/HP as possible.

i ended up getting addy club and SoS seems like a really good choice so far. good to go for weps like these from a 30/40 2hb? dps seems alot better

Does look like AClub/SoS will beat out Wus/IFS/PB. Did you get those before a Haste item?

EDIT:

Am I reading this correctly, using level 60 DPS values:

JM + KD = 1.61 DPS + 1.00 DPS = 2.61 DPS
Peacebringer = 2.40 DPS

I thought the 2HB sticks were typically better until you were getting into the AClub/SoS combo...
