Arcane Caster re-Gear

Recently got my (currently WF) caster back up to cap on a sorc life.  Will be sticking around for a couple of months until I can get up to 20 ADQ completions and maybe 10 LoBs,  then TRing, likely to  CCish Archmage.

Gear set was pretty stable from 13 on up, but at cap with Epics mixed in I have a bunch of overlaps, and so I'm considering yanking out the Glacier Set for something else. 

I have enough banked mats to make a new GS item. Have some Carnival and Deneith Epics, nothing started from Desert Epics, and only a little from Fens.  Looking for advice-  especially something that could be fairly quickly craftable (GS or Cannith).

In particular,  thinking of getting Challenge Rock Boots, crafting Trip-Pos HP gloves, and doing something in the  bracer slot.

Goggles: Have GS trip-Neg immunity,  but leaning to  Magewrights for Spell Pen IX.

Armor: DT with Heavy Fort, SR 22, and Glacial Assault.

Helm: GS Con Opp SP. Have Minos. Could craft eMask of Tragedy

Belt: wearing Telvi's, have Rakhirs belt but not the ring

Boots: GS trip-Pos HP. Considering Rock boots, especially for doing LoB.  Looks like you can craft Striding or FF onto these.

Cloak: Currently Magewright's,  was using crafted FF of Resistance.

Bracers: Glacier.  Have GS cold resistance for Shadowtanking.  Most of the Glacier features are overlapped at the moment

Neck: Currently Shintao Cord, seal short of crafting eShimmering Pendant for +7 CHA.  Hopefully eventually the Torc slot. 

Gloves: Currently Glacier,  but looking to replace,  maybe with trip-Pos HP gloves.  Potentially Titan's Grip for repair boosts,  but had been planning to save for a melee toon.

Trinket: Xoriat for CHA and Greater Enchantment focus.  Have Pirate for SP. 

Ring1: Telvi's,  not yet upgraded.  Also have a crafted Greater Enchantment of GFL (guild slot) ring. 

Ring2: Epic Ring of Elemental Essence, not yet slotted.

Weapon1: eOrnamented Dagger
Weapon2: swapping around eRoderics and eWinters Wrath.

Have some Belashyrra's scepters and a mending clickie here as well.

My Sorc's gear set-up, once I finish the wizard life, will be

Triple Pos SP goggles
Minos (I know, I'm a gimp)
Torc
Litany (good for WF if you don't have a +4 tome, which I assume is the case)
ConOpp hp boots
eCloak of the Zephyr
Wind Bracers (still need to make these. Probably not applicable, since I think you're a water savant)
Assortment of ToD clickies, usually leaving on Calitome's for the crit chance
For weapons, my standard is the Staff of the Petitioner for general use, a major lightning lore dagger+Cove Dagger for nuking, cove dagger+Light and Darkness for torcing.

Brei, you need less Zs in your wizard.

My wizard:
Helm: GS Min II SP item (yes you read that correctly)
Necklace: Epic Torc
Trinket: Epic Spyglass slotted with -15%asf
Cloak: Epic Mirror Cloak
Belt: PM set belt.
Ring: Epic Elemental Essence
Ring: Currently Int 6 w/large guild slot. Looking for PM set ring from ToD slotted with Con +2
Gloves: Conc opp HP
Boots: boots of propulsion. Will be something with large guild slot once I change rings.
Bracers: Epic DQ bracers slotted with 6 con and GFL
Robe: Epic Diabolist, soon to be slotted with toughness.
Goggles: Epic Spectral Sight slotted with +1 int

Weapons:
Epic Staff of Arcane Power <-95% of the time
Epic Staff of Inner Sight <- used before I got the eSoAP
Epic Ornamental Dagger/Hound shield combo, for tanking situations.

I'm going with the PM set because I don't wear a potency item full time that will affect my negative energy. I have the Epic Robe of Shadows that I can swap to to activate my aura, but my bursts are weak unless I wear it full time. The other weak part are my disintegrates, since the elemental essence ring only ups elemental damage (imagine that). I also have a cove hat with sup pot vi and 15 concentration, but I only wear that when I'm not drinking yugo INT pots (which is almost never).

I prefer the Night Watch series personally, but the Witches Series is also pretty good.

I love the interaction of the characters and story line from series to series though.

Guards books kick ass, witches are meh.  I'm a bit biased though, having a penis and all keeps me from 100% identifying with the witches.

I have it and the colour of magic movie as well.  They were a lot better done than I thought judging by the covers.

The chick that played Sto-helit (spelling?) was way hot.

Susan? Yeah. I found the whole striped black/white hair a bit of a turn off, though.

I like the Feegle books a lot. I actually listened to the first one on audiobook before actually reading it, and at first you can't understand a word the feegles say. After you get used to it, you can rewind to catch all the lines that you missed.
