ItemActually he is absolutely right. With the AC on this item, it makes a poor chest slot for any melee class, and none would sac the AC on their BP for the haste effect. However as a back slot it has very nice AC and the haste is permanent and will stack with chanter spells and bard songs. But there are far better items out there for the back slot with AC and higher "melee" oriented stats. Lodizal shield comes to mind. Any guild that can kill Zlandicar will have similar or better gear then this. In my opinion, as a back slot, this is best suited for Hybrids because of the int, wis, mana and HP addition, as well as haste. 2nd best use is true caster for the same reasons mentioned above. And finally melee and tank for the decent AC and HP/haste. of course the resistances are good for anyone. Thats my opinon and im sticking to it.
btw, my epic (necromancer) is 22/34 1hb. of course id never be in a situation where I was required to melee, but hasted, I could still output decent dmg. Just something to think about before you outright knock a hasted int caster.

...So were assuming that the monks are just...uneeding is haste items?...This is a nice weapon, and grated, monk epic is haste, however, ti is spell haste. Monks cant use Lodi sheild. Monks cant use any of those uber back items. Granted, monks CAN use knetted kelp (Might as well be cloth in comparison to this) and that haste item out of ToV, but this is much simpler to get. I would say that this is one of the better back items for monks, and that they deserve the chance to roll on the talisman as much as any hybrid. No, I am not saying this is a monk item, just saying its good for monks as well. Monks should roll with the Hybrids (Assuming they don't have better)....I personally would roll on it if I could. Back to what I was saying before.....Well, infact, Rangers, Pallies, and SKs would PROBABLY go for Lodi sheild and take the Chitin Guants I hand them for haste if I win =)..

First off, nobody's rolling for the talisman. That said, personally, it'd be a hard decision for me as to whether I want this or a lodi shield. Both are excellent items, the difference being this has a nice HP/Mana boost, while the lodi shield has the AC and slightly better resists. The STR on the lodi shield is nice, but not essential since there's already so much STR buffing melee gear. Oh, and you can keep those gaunts...no thanks.

I would definitely say this would normally go to Hybrids, Rogues and Monks. At this level you won't see Hybrids/Monks/Rogues Tanking, but they will need the resists and the Haste. No Warrior should think about sacrificing that much AC for Haste and some stats, although it does have good saves. there are other Items you can use for saves, anyway. Heck, if the guild has been fighting here, they've already got Heavy/Matchless or better armor and probably good Haste items as well.

Um.. at this level you WILL see hybrids tanking... Pally and SK hold agro over a warrior anyday, so if a stone solid 7500 HP isn't needed, I would put a pally or SK up on the frontline.. and for High damage, low HP mobs, send in the ranger to /disc weaponshield and burn the guy down. Some of the best tanks i ever met were pally's and shadowknights. Pre-39, their tanking leaves a lot to be desired, but in the upper end, they can rock. Especially on PoP mobs. With the agro grabbing spells on hand to a pally or SK, casters can cook the mob down a lot faster than with a warrior as MA. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of situations I would MUCH prefer to have the warrior taking the beating, but it isn't as unlikely as you make it sound to have a hybrif tanking.. Heck, we had a Beastlord tank Greig one night, just cause he wanted to.
