Hi All,

Any armor/outfit suggestion for a level 20 spellsinger caster bard?

Currently wearing Greater Fire resistance of Deathblock Outfit.  Thinking of crafting the same outfit but with a Medium Guild Slot for HP.

I'm also thinking of these epic armors.

Epic Demon Scale, other absorbs are nice and other immunities.

Epic Vulkoorim Dervish Robe, disintegration is nice but I am not a melee.  Maximise discount is also nice but I don't have that Feat on this build yet.

I don't plan on having the Reavers Refuge pack so DT armor is out of the question.

Basically, I'm just running epic ADQ 1 and 2.  Trying to run EVON6 in the future also.  Some hard shrouds and TODs.  Occasional normal LOBs.  This is not my main toon.

Thanks All.

Reaver's Refuge costs 350, ffs.  What is wrong with you? 

Mine wears dragontouched.

Don't remember what was on it, probably something like +5 resist, +6 to some stat, and I know the final one is Smiting (for shits and giggles, his min2 falchion is a smiter now, one less thing to carry)

Caster bards make me kinda sad though, there is almost no reason to put lots of points into Cha, healing people doesn't have DCs, your best CC doesn't have a save and for the most part you can't really get the save on your dancing ball good enough anyway (compared to an enchantment spec wizard, who use web mostly anyway). He is still cha based, because one day ONE DAY it will be useful.

Before TRing, my first life Spellsinger had a 40 DC on his disco ball.  Add in that you're not far behind the Warchanter's IC, you can regen your own and everyone else's SP, the healing is good enough to solo heal many of the weaker epics, you're adding +1 to everyone else's DCs...  I certainly had a lot of fun with it, at least. 

work on to get a pair of epic dynastic falcatas and get sufficient amount of HP. thats pretty much the only way not to get your cha wasted, and to become more versatile than most cookie-cutter warchanters out there (still less dps output though). yea until then cannith-crafted robes with med/large guild slot, or even spellpen 6 robe from abbot trinket reward should do fine.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I already have the epic dynastic Falc.  And working on my hp.

The thing is, I don't want to replace a divine or a caster.  Just like in the OP, I'm running those quests / raids.  Scroll healing and helping the SP thingies.

I guess I'll stick on the cannith crafting robes.

You say you want to run eVON6 - so I would strongly consider crafting a piece of Harbinger armour with the +10 reflex save for that. I have that on my caster cleric as a swap in item, because her reflex saves suck,

I hear you on the Dragontouched.

And a mathmagician appears!

my SS bard wears the epic robe of dissonance.

just for funsies. it's nice to have sup pot 6 in a non neck, non weapon slot

And to go for the hat trick of posts, I'd personally do a Deathblock of Superior Stability over a Lifeshield of Superior Stability robe/outfit with a guild slot.

That's really not bad for 97th.  If I got my SS back up, I'd definitely consider it for the trinket slot, actually.  You're such a giver.

epic silken mail looks great on my female drow SS. Add the epic bramble casters and you've got decent DR for slash/pierce and thorn guard. Throw +2 good luck on the blue slot and you're set.

Both these items come from content you say you run often and most times are not desired by most party members so seal/shard oppurtunities should be plentiful

It may not be the ideal setup but it works for me

was making 2 faulty assumptions: War chanter not SPellsinger and -15% arcane failure in blue slot
