Hello all -

I recently got Watchman's Supple Armwraps (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=68402) out of Riwwi, and though they're nice I was toying with the idea of trading for something a little more "appropriate" for a druid.

Obvious choices that come to mind are Stonehide and ornate, but I'm not certain whether either is actually "better". =)

I'm guildless right now, and am looking to actually trade in the Bazaar for an item or quest item to get new arms. Any ideas about other sleeves I should be looking at?

Personally, I would have loved those arms. =D

But I understand your feeling of finding something more "appropriate." Not sure how much you're looking to spend, but since you aren't elemental flagged (Im assuming here) you should definently look into a few other options.

The Wanderer's Sylvan Sleeves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=11549) (ornate) has a great Druid Focus on it, though sort of lacking in HP/Mana.

The Stonehide Sleeves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=30788) have a great HP bonus on them, but lack a decent amount of mana. As mana is more impotant to most druids, Im not sure this would be your best option either.

The Gravedigger Armstraps (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=44295) would be my favorite pre-elemental bazaar arms. High HP/mana and decent resists. They drop in LDON Hard in BB.

Speaking of LDON, if you by chance like the expansion:

Immorta-Blood Tainted Sleeves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=44128) - 760 points in BB

Mucus-Drenched Sleeves (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=44316) - 1492 points in Sro

A good start anyway. I had the horrible sleeves until my elemental upgrade, so I figured Id start with my old wish list =P

Thanks, I am indeed not ele flagged.

It's looking more and more like I'll just stick with the Supple and get focus/FT elsewhere, I really don't like any of the options enough to replace them at this point. Maybe we'll see what Omens has for us.

I'll just be sure and whistle innocently when the beastlords and monks are around... =)

Just noticed my link to the Gravediggers was wrong. Fixed now - so if you didnt notice check again.

Id definently make it a close run with your new Riwwi ones - personally I would take the big HP/Mana boost with the slightly better resists/AC of the Gravediggers over the Agility/Regen2
on the Supple's. But thats just how I play =)

If you do decide to change, most Bst/Monks in your same position with plat will own the Gravediggers. If they are smart, they would trade in a heartbeat (+attack is hard to find pre-ornate/elemental).

Grats on one of the better droppable pieces in GoD!

Yah... I agree on the Gravediggers. If I can find someone who wants to trade with me I'd be tempted; the higher hp/mana is indeed what I'm after.

I'd love to retain some kind of effect in that slot, but that's not completely necessary.

I also decided if any monk scowls at me for wearing a +ATK item I'll just narrow my eyes and say: "Earring of the Solstice, honey. Earring of the Solstice." :duel2:

I'm supprised you don't want the focus on ornate arms. Its great for healing- and if you don't heal, jut charm/quad, no monk should get close enough to scowl. :)
