Monk arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70896) - 30atk, improved block 3
Shm wrists and gloves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.html?searchtext=ritualchanter) - 3 spell shield and 3 dot shieldling on wrists no focus on gloves
Enc wrists arms and bp (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.html?searchtext=mindreaver) - 3 ss and 3dot shielding on wrists, 4ft on arms, clicky effect .. no other effects on bp
War wrists and arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.html?searchtext=gladiator%27s%20plate) - 3ss and 3dot shieldling on wrists, 30atk on arms
Bard arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70903) - 30atk
Clr arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70861) - 4ft
Rog arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70910)- 30atk
Ranger arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70875) - 30atk
SK gloves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70884) - 8% strike through
Nec arms (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=70924) - 4ft

Generally stats are really good but the almost complete lack of focuses sucks bad. Seems wierd to go from say healing focus on class arms to best healing focus on arms + 6 spell shield to 4ft hehe... the bracers seem ok since those were always kinda the cheesey parts of the set (would maybe move the ft to them and add some regen), the gloves and bp having no foci on it at all seems yet very lame... the bp especially since it normally has a chunk of avoidance on it + some small bits of other stuff.

Does anyone know if these are meant to be like these or they were just rushed at some pt and the devs are going to revise them as they tweak anguish?



also, anyone know if the anguish augs are going to be made removable along with getting the no drop tag?

Yes, new armor sucks, most raid level gear period in OoW sucks especially for casters. Whoever itemized it is an absolute cluebag, prolly plays a goddamn monk or something.

Definitely, as the monk arms are the only piece that looks decent to me. :wink:

There are exceptions. The shaman/enchanter BPs are amazing, in that they cast a buff that reduces the resist rate of detrimental spells with a duration (slow, mesmerize, root, etc.) by 40%. Overall, quite inconsistent, and poorly thought out.

Does the effect even work? It looks similar to the Wizard epic effect, and wizards tell me that their epic increases their resist rate.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I saw them. There are exceptions to the rule within the sets...but what's up with this pattern of loads of hp/mana and then....wait for it....Flowing Thought 4?

Focus effects are good. FT4 on Necro/Cleric Angish level arms is almost the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

It did. It was fixed last patch.

anyone that has access to the devs able to ask if these are going to be revised at some point?

/looks in Madrone's direction... :)

Be realistic... by the time they get it to "Currently being discussed", then a few weeks later "Currently being evaluated", to putting it on test server, then actually patching it live.... the next expansion will have already been out for months.

Lets be even more realistic and pretend that when they said they wanted to wait to let OoW go live so they could make sure everything was "finished" it meant jack. The majority of the items out there from MPG trials to RS Royals to Anguish are lacking. Caster items moreso than melee for some reason ;p Unfinished expansion #8 and Sony can blow me.

All I can say is the lack of focus effects on the OOW armour is sad, I think I will just keepmy gaelins sleeves unless in OOW they have other healing foci that is better if not equal.

I too think in OOW they(SOEdevs) forgot and or lack of very important focus effects such as a better beneficial spell haste, healing focuses, mana preservation, and so on.
