I realize that the class specific Thazeran quest armor is getting looked over and I know that not only do the items need to be taken in as a set, and that not every item needs to be 100000% better than the previous, but figured I would post my concerns about the Shadowknight chest piece, and consider that besides the immaculate BP, SKs (and all tanks) don't get a chest slot upgrade past Mirror Golems to the thaz tier.
Chestplate of Seething Hatred
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: CHEST
AC: 69
Effect: Seething Strike (combat) (~75dd, 80 hate gain)
STR +12 STA +15 DEX +14 INT +15 HP +210 MANA +190
MR +12 FR +12 CR +12 PR +12 DR +12
Aggression +2
Weight: 12.0 Size: Large
Class: SHD
Race: ALL
PROS: Agro generating reactive, more DEX than immaculate, Black.
CONS: Reactive has a damage component, Gives no more HP than immaculate, gives less resists than immaculate, gives less stats than immaculate, including AC thanks to no AGI. Low +agro and no +damage reduction. Does not compare to WAR BP.
-Compared to Immaculate BP you 'gain' 1 AC, 10 mana, 2 INT and 14 DEX, but LOSE 1sv all, 5 STR, 2 STA, 10 AGI (IE immaculate is currently BETTER than the SK BP at this point. Only thing that makes them any different is the proc which is nice, when it procs [not much])
-I see absolutely no reason for the SK BP to not match the warrior BP in stats, since they have a HUGE advantage in mitigation over us already, there is NO REASON AT ALL to give them a further advantage in stats on equipment, as each BP is just as difficult as any other to obtain.
CURRENT SUGGESTION:
