Well, this is a sweet BP. Such nice stats since those are the primary stats for those classes imo, but i think if these pieces had +5 or more to all resists that this line of armor would be incredible. Of course, not uber but very respectable.

Bards and stats
# Nov 05 2002 at 1:52 AM Rating: Decent
Just one thing about bard, all high level bard look for only 2 thing:

-AC until they hit the 1200 cap (and it's quite easy for high lvl bard)

-And after that HP/sta.

So if a bard already hit the AC cap, this Bp can be better than thurg one (more sta, more hp)

My 2cp

This set of equipment quite simply looks awesome. Our guild goes on raids in UP frequently and I will definitely be pointing them towards trying to get some of this line of equipment.

With old world models, the Dark Assassin/Dark Master gear shows up as a silver plate look. Picture of me in half elf form:

One person in my guild saw this as pink also, but to me and everyone else it looked like plain plate armor, not sure why this is =/

#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 15 2002 at 3:53 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) wow what an exhilarating forum full of the information needed to help others aquire one of these...but hell who am i kidding i only come here to flame everyone else too. oh well maybe someone will post some inside info on what the brave fools hoping to get one of these, are to expect
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 8:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) you pleople and your liking those filthy rangers and those "odd" bard leave it alone just say its a rogue item and i will shut up for a while and as i said rogues need the cha for when we charm stuff geez why won't you just listen
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 15 2002 at 5:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It's not a rogue item. It is ranger and bard only. Rogues should never get this item ever, and all characters who are high enough in level to acquire it should keep it away from the cowardly, backstabbing rogues.
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 3:36 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) awww how cute you can't find anything else to make fun of so you make fun of my spelling. and the fact still remains you bards and rangers need to find your own gear this is a rogue item.

Funnily enough. There are 'rogue only' items, just as there are 'ranger only' items and 'bard only' items. They even separate these from multi-class items by only having ONE class able to wear it. The fact that this says Rogue/Bard/Ranger probably means that all 3 classes can wear it. As to who should wear it? anyone who has lesser armour currently can roll on it as far as I'm concerned. Just camp the zone until more drop.

Most of the time you'll be hunting this zone with a group or 2 of guildies, not a pickup group, so fights as to who can or can't roll will be slim (unless your guild is called greedy bastards inc. then you may have some problems)
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 8:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) No one "cares" who you think should get this...The only thing people care about is how to get the items...
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 4:52 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So you didn't intend your original post as a joke, but were serious. Then you tried to cover your first dumb tracks by whining that it was a joke and hint that I was too stupid to understand that you were joking. Plus the fact that you want to be taken seriously as a flamer while being only semi-literate. You do yourself in. As for bards and rangers finding their own gear; they have found it. This piece. It is NOT rogue only, so any of the classes listed have a perfect right to it. You have still not stated your case, but have just continued your baseless flaming.

madgorgor, IMO as a lvl 60 rogue, this is a nice piece for us, AND for a ranger. BUT. it is a hell of a lot better for a bard. They NEED that AC when their mezzes/charms break. They can definately use that +cha to help with their mezzes/charms. That STR will help them do a little more damage in combat, the STA and HPs will help them stay alive a bit longer when their mezzes/charms break as well. And, going by the stats on this, the only thing this *really* beats out the Woven Shadow BP from Hate, is Sta/HPs. (oh yeah, and the WS BP makes up for the technical lack of ac on it (like i care about ac) by having +13agi.

Before you call a multi-class item specifically to one class (especially your own) learn about some of the other classes, and compare their needs to your own. If I were on a raid or in an xp group and this thing dropped, I wouldn't even THINK about lottoing/bidding on this against my wife or any other bard in the guild/group.

First off, it's nice for any of the classes. And I know I'm kicking a dead horse, but it's not necessarily nicer for a bard over the other two classes. If you're on a raid and the bard is getting hit, there's something wrong to begin with. Anywhere you raid pre-velious and including PoG, a bard mez/charm is still useful. If you're doing an exp group in Velk's Seb or wherever with a bard doing mez/charm he still shouldn't have a problem if he gets hit, because you're not stupid enough to group without a healer. But justifying this as a bard item is dumb imo. Bards don't do damage with melee. The charisma would be nice yes, but there's also many many better bp's out there for bards. Bottom line: don't say it's better for a certain class. It benefits the other classes in a way that people who play <class> wouldn't understand.

"Bards dont do damage melee"

Heh. We use a lower damage table and do not have double attack. But yes, we melee, and yes, we do damage.

Lava infused Bludgeon, and epic. With hastes and Str buffs I do some decent damage in melee.

Thing about this is that bards wear plate, and thus have choices of BPs with better AC than rogues do. The PoG and Thurg bard BPs are granted a bit rare, but have 42ac and way better stats. Bottom line if ANY item has good AC and both bards and rogues can wear, its probably a better item for the rogue. Same goes for this imo.

Definatly one of the bests comments I've seen. I'm sick of everyone thinking another class shouldn't get an item, just becuase they want it for their class, or my favorite gripe: Rogue's should be able to use a lupine dagger because it's a piercing item, If this Item dropped I'd definatly love a shot at it, but it doesn't mean it'll go to me, and personally I've got my eye on wicked mail, for pvp purposes. I've never rated a post before, was never worth my time to click the button and watch my web page load, but you get an Excellent from me.

woot you go sylik!!
I have a 41 rogue, 54 druid and a wife that is a 54 bard, and I would recommend this for her before the other 2 classes as well, maybe then she can let me sell the other 3 BP's she carts around in her bags for "different situations". lol

But really, if this dropped, any of the 3 classes would most likely love this item and could all point out a reason for "needing" it.

#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 2:11 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i am about 5lvls off of being able to get this and the post was ment as some what of a joke but i geuss its to hard for someone like you to be able to see that
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 14 2002 at 12:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Boo back. With all the morons in here who don't joke about their stupid flames, how was anyone supposed to know that you were joking? I guess it is hard for someone like you to be able to spell that, let alone see it.
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 13 2002 at 9:49 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this is for rogues you other classes go get your own gear and yes rogues do need cha we can charm we just don't like to show it off and once again go get your own stuff

Dial 1-800-WAAAAAAA, you wimpy whiner. We will take what we want and need when we are in a position and at a level to do so. Rogues can take an equal chance at it like any of the classes who can use it.
