	Getting ready to cap my pure human kensai, and I have access to both of these sets for him. Which would you choose, and why? Also, I could probably wrangle up a full abashi set if I worked at it. Would that be better? Or a combo of fabricators or claw + 3 piece abashi? Gah I'm so conflicted!

	I'd go with Claw over Fabricator's on a Kensai.� A lower to-hit character might benefit more from the bonuses the Fabricator's Set gives, but Kensai should be good.� It's +2 damage, +2 exceptional Con, 30% healing amp, and heavy fort at the loss of +2 to-hit, 10% melee alacrity (which doesn't stack with Haste), 25% exceptional fort, +5 Resistance (easily gotten elsewhere), and the Alchemical proc on the Bracers (which would be awesome if it had a higher proc rate; as is, it's not reliable enough). The Fabricator's set is still quite good and is nice for a lower to-hit character but it doesn't beat Claw. Don't know how Abishai fits in there, though.

	I personally have gone piece abashai/claw set . The fabricators are nice but I would save them for a class that needs the +2 to hit more than the extra +2 damage from the claw set. Fabricators are the poor mans claw set on a Kensei.

	I have the Fabricators on my DOS pally that's been TRed into a melee bard. I'm hoping it will still be useful once I hit 18 again... What do the masses think is a good use for the Fabricator's set?

	I wear it on my undergeared characters regardless of class for the +6 str (light encumbrance, woo) and +5 resist. Arcane, divine, melee, ranged...

	I would make both, but that's just because I have trouble convincing people to cast haste. Seriously though, claw set is more damage and amp, plus like people said kensai doesn't have to-hit issues. Fab set does have the +25 stacking fort that could be kinda useful situationally, especially if the new monster fort reduction gets out of hand.

Someone mentioned the proc rate for the alchemical boost being low, but I don't see that. It procs in damn near every fight I have that lasts more than 3 swings. That being said, I would wear the Claw set if I had it.

	I think fab set is nice till you can get your claw set "epiced" but then definitely go for claw set.

	I like it for not having to chug haste pots when I'm feeling lazy and I'm in a group with no one that can cast a 2:00 or longer Haste.
