Elemental Focus Effects

[Obscenitor]

4.3 Scales
Rujik Drum
NZ Mask (The robe has cold7)

Those are the best options I can think of.

I consider Bleached Ringlet/Perfected Bone Golem to be T11 but maybe that's wrong.

NZ robes are just as rare as mask too, think we have seen 2 of each in the past year of killing it.

Scales is the only option for AE8 for BSTs isn't it?

Yes.

Bleached ringlet is a good choice
Saitha mask doesnt have shm on it and there are 2 other masks on or near tier
Voidstep is also a good choice
I rather have it on scales then voidstep but there are only two choices for AE8 atm
Clarav would also be cool but i remember hearing something that no focus 8s would be on anything in IS other than Taeshlin 2.0 and higher

Cella is also another option but it would only benefit shm and its already super good so i doubt it would be added here

or what about the shm bracer from Spires mana con is already on several other items but i guess this goes against the grain because all the priest/int bracers have mana con

Rujik Drum is also a good choice it has both classes

I think Bleached Ringlet would be a solid choice, the mob that drops it is arguably the same difficulty as shadow which drops a 7% cold focus.

I don't think it would fit well on Voidstep due to them having a magic proc.. just my opinion though..

I actually like that it is an exlusive thing on the Necro signature item off Saitha for now. I realize that it is also on a item in the abyss but as has been pointed out in this thread you have to sacrifice something in order to use it since the item itself is eclipsed stat wise later.

Having said that Zaela can do whatever she wants to, but I won't be changing this.

Bleached Ringlet sounds good. Probably enough for that zone. I dunno if I have deciding control on much other high end gear these days, though. Unless there's something in the harder fights of Abyss that could fit it.

Since we're on te topic of focus effects I was wondering what other items caster usable have companion strength 8 or higher (if they exist). It would be nice to have something other than a ring with this effect (not that the rings are bad in any way I would just be glad to have an option, BST have 4 items in 4 different slots while casters get 2 items in 1 slot).

Kinda off topic, but maybe it would be a good time to add content to north Abyss, tiered higher than Sorrow. There are currently 3 guilds that would utilize it, all of whom are running out of content to do very frequently!

edit: This could fill a lot of the focus holes that currently exist in itemization!

 

[Zaela]

Higher than Sorrow would be getting into Marza tiers and I am confident that I have no idea how encounter and item balance works anymore at that level. So it's not likely! Not from me, at least.

12 man content is inherently different from 18 man raids. Bosses will get harder, loot will get better. But it's just wishful thinking on my part =x

 

[Nodnal]

I know this is kind of reaching, but since there are 8 items with fire and only 5 with cold/disease, could we swap out 1 or 2 fire items and switch them to cold/disease? I don't know if you want an exact balance of elemental items, but having 8 items with a 7% fire focus is a bit excessive.
