My level 35 Cleric is already sitting pretty in one of these suckers. Was in a Group killing in UP and we decided to take a shot at a couple named while we were at it. Well Everyone that could use this already had better, so noone was interested, I asked if I could sprint my Cleric up and grab it and everyone agreed so up to UP he came a runnin, with about 2 min to spare I looted this puppy and have no desire to upgrade out of it for quite a while.
i actually turned down(was mine for the taking , no roll) this BP when my guild took down RC...sounds crazy especially since for the most part this is better then my runed protector's BP..it wound up going to one of the clerics...clerics should have integrity anyways :)
How rare is this stupid bp? we have killed rumblecrush about 10 times and NO stupid plate bp, we have got 1 kinship tunic and ALL the rest are that stupid chain mail tunic. thanks for any info you got on drop rate.
As a bard 60+ i see this as a goo bp for a bard to wear. many reason make it better. 1. if ur in any guild like mine most ppl ae holding out for the vindi bp. 2. People don't think bards use int or wis but we do, and at lvl 63 its very usefull to have for fleeting memory, a bard always need the extra mana. but this is just my 2pp don't hate or blame me for it
Well, looking from the point of view of a 51 warrior, this would be nice to have. near double the ac of my black enameled bp (or enambeled black bp, i keep getting it mixed up) and arms legs and feets protected by crafted. But me, I feel items like this that are good for many classes should go to the one with the most need at the time. yah, i need the ac, but that cleric back there is in the golden cleric quest armor and needs a wis boost on his chest. But, I need the ac. lol. would be hard to do. Nice item for whoever gets it. I was in UP for the first time the other night and couldn't help thinking all those critters (the moktor things) lacked was an aoe breath attack and they could be vox. Or naggy. LOTTA hp! sheesh. Anyway, no real use on rolling for NODROP things anyway, cause either you can use it or you can't, and if you can use it, I sure hope you need it, cause some of us do actually NEED a thing because its better than what we have. And me, I'd be upset to find out you claimed the item, only to NOT need it but wanted it cause you liked the look or didn't want xx char to get it (yah, there are a few people <gasp!> like that i've met.) But thats me. Y'all have a merry christmas.

IMHO as an SK give it to a Cleric or something. If you can take down Rumblecrush you should also be able to take down vindicator and get vindi bp. And as for the rolling on it lol my guild was like wtf is this thing lol someone roll on it if you want it.
Hmmmm... we've been doing HoT now for almost a year and have yet to see a Plate BP drop. I think this would probably go where it would do the most good, be it Warrior, Pally, SK, Cleric or Bard. By the way, every Cleric in the guild has at least a Hate BP. Many of our Tanks don't even have Planar PBs.
When equipped, it looks silver with a light pinkish tint. Think Ethereal Mist BP with LESS purple. Kinda hard to describe, but it looks pretty cool. Nice BP, too~)

Roll for loot in an Uber Guild that can kill Rumble and get a BP of Integrity, MUHAHAHAHAHA, wont ever happen, officers distribute to who needs most and whos turn it is. You will never see a roll on this lol. not a chance. I was extremly fortunate to receive this and it could have just as easy gone to another class. But it was given to the cleric :)

Posted:Apr 05 2002 at 5:58 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this bp dont should go first to cleric. this good for every classes that are listed above and as sk i dont would say CLERIC first ) most people saying if the see mana , wis , int on such items should go to pure caster classes. sk and pal also based on such stats. so i never would let a cleric loot this sweet item only because he said that there a pure caster stats.
I just hope a bus comes along and drills ya while you're preachin from that soapbox of yours. "sk's are less deserving of great magic items"? what a maroon....

Posted:Mar 29 2002 at 6:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) amazing, who was it that said "its better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". you should try reading peoples posts through and if you can't allow a simple opinion based on reasonable logic thats laid out so well for the simple minded that may not understand his view point, just becuase it differs from your initial opinion that you created after reading the first paragraph, then you should just SHUTTUP! and quit making yourself look dumb.
Actually, these stats probably make it an SK/PLD item over all other classes, as they would probably get the most out of all the stats on this BP. This is NOT to say, however, that CLR, or any other class for that matter are not deserving, just that a SK/PLD would probably yield the most benefit from it, as there really is only one stat that will be (essentially) useless to them (SK not need WIS, PLD not need INT). That's about it.
Looking at the stats graphic, I was just a bit amused at the thought of an item called the Breastplate "of Integrity" being wearable by a Shadow Knight. One would think that an SK would be the antithesis of integrity. They are, after all, supposed to be the avatars of pure evil.
Not that folks that play SK's are less deserving of great magic items than anyone else, but when I saw the name of the item, my first thought was Paladin/Cleric. Oh well, I don't make the game, I just play it. :-)
------ In response to Apollyon:
Integrity has -everything- to do with good and evil. Your first definition hits it right on the head. To clarify, here's a couple of definitions of "moral"
1: Teaching or exhibiting goodness or correctness of character and behavior: a moral lesson.
2: Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior; virtuous: a moral life.
In other words,
"Firm adherence to a code of goodness or correctness of character, conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior."
Also: I don't post about who should "roll" for what, nor will you ever hear me saying "fu" to anyone. I assume you meant that for someone else.
-----
And to Darknyss:
I didn't do any whining at all. I only pointed out the incongruity of having an essentially immoral character class be able to use an item with the label "...of Integrity". I agree with you completely that it is equally ridiculous for Paladins to use the Mistmoore shield and the ring of the corpsemaster.
I'm speaking from the role-player's standpoint. If one is not an RP'er, then hey, use whatever gives you the best chance of winning the fight. More power to you.
As a shadowknight that roleplays sometimes I have to say I dont agree with the lack of integrity. It's shadow KNIGHT- as in still following a code of honor.
To quote apollyon: (I see this was taken from Merriam Webster, www.m-w.com) 1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY 2 : an unimpaired condition : SOUNDNESS
would equate to this in my shadowknight's mind: 1- You will not corrupt my values with your talk of kindness and helping people. Moral or not, this is still valid. Pain and hate can be a great form of art (just ask your local **********) 2- My pure hate fueled by Innoruuk is unimpared even when next to the most holy "good" guy.
Why do you think terms like "white knight" and "black knight" are common? Because the honorable can be both good and evil, but always true to their beliefs and cause.
Not a flame, I just wanted to point out a shadow knight roleplaying spin you didn't think of Arjaizen, an evil person could always wear this in mockery.
1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY 2 : an unimpaired condition : SOUNDNESS 3 : the quality or state of being complete or undivided : Integrity has little to do with good or evil and much to do with one's adherence to the moral code one follows. It is quite possible for shadowknights to be blessed with a good deal of integrity (ever see them stop using lifetap at 60 because they finally discovered it was evil?). Anyway, think of lawful evil in the old d&d and you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Good luck on rumblecrush. -Apollyon p.s. please please please stop posting about who would roll on what. Nobody ever rolls on any of the uber items that people post "oooh oooh ooh, I would love to roll on this int caster item with my warrior! FU int casters!" or some such. There are systems used at higher levels to determine loot and as far as I know none of them involve ROLLING! Thanks.
what are you whining about... how about those Paladins walking around with a Crested Mistmoore Shield (the one with the SKULL on it), or wearing a ring of the corpsemaster... Verant makes few items to distinguish between the Paladin and the ShadowKnight... to them they're just the hybrid tanks... haven't you ever noticed that almost all the high lvl plate usable armor has the SAME amount of int and wis...

bah bah bah LoL...my iksar shadowknight would be all over this and out of her treewave..besides..it improves the integrity of the user..so being that, i would be improving the integrity of The Paingringer,Cazic by wearing this which allows me to kill more things in his name :P
My cleric would love to have this, but franky, It seems to scream HYBRID. This would be an Ideal Pally or SK BP. But as I said, if my cleric had a chance to get one, I sure wouldn't turn it down.
Like the name too, although for roleplaying, an SK with integrity would be rather odd. :)

Thats Just Crazy.. I think the Verant Guys Just went Silly adding Stats To stuff oh 80 ac here 20 wiz here And 50 int.. Oh Yeah lets Rile the Monkies With 0.0 weight and Some Hp... Some str. some Sta. a Crap Load Of saves... and effect Flowing thought VII and lets makie it Useable by only rogues and Warriors Cuz ya Know How Much That mana can Come In handy on a Warrior
Wow, yet another great umbral plains drop. A 45 ac bp with some nice stats for all of it's wearable classes (except that mana thing for warriors) and it amazingly has 0.0wt. Can't want to see all the people post "this is a monk item"
