At least on Orien no one runs LOB anymore.


Pff, same on Khyber, last time I ran one, we 5 manned it with 2 first timers and waited an hour. Always the same scenario, I have cleared everything to the entrance and we are still less than 6. They really need to work on giving us a reason to run it, it truly is a fun raid.

You really want one ToD ring for Holy Burst.  It's a huge amount of damage you're giving up.  I'd replace the Dun'Robar ring.  When you're dealing with trashmobs, Grave Wrappings are your friend.

Personally I favor the House of Avithoul ring over the Ring of the Stalker.  +5 Sneak Attack Bonus, +3 Exceptional Sneak Attack Bonus, Deception and +2 Insightful WIS.

The ring swap would allow you to put +8 WIS in the trinket slot, freeing up your neck for Shintao/Oremi set.  If you twist Haste Boost from Legendary Dreadnought (especially when you TR to Human/Helf), then Alchemist's Pendant is solid for the 20 HP, +1 Ki and +1 Boost.



I'll never run ToD ever egain if I can help it at all, so no shintao/oremi set. I might actually have them already, I'm not on that guy to check at the moment. But if I don't I'll never get em. I hate that stupid raid. It's not difficult, I just don't like it.

I've thought about ditching the stalker and keeping the holy burst ring. I haven't really been focusing on getting him geared up at the moment. Avithoul was something that crossed my mind, but I have insightful wisdom +2 already on my goggles, and I'd really like that +2 insightful STR so I can ditch my Epic Cloak of the Roc.

Does the alchemist pendant's HP stack with shroud HP?

LoB LFMs have been low on Sarlona the past 2 weeks. The only guy who's pugging them out lately is only doing EN. I need HH or EH for refined water. I have literally everything else that I need. I might need about 10 exquisite shards, but otherwise I'm good. We did one last night in guild, but only a bunch of refined air and refined fire dropped. That raid is pretty unpopular in guild, but I've found myself enjoying it now that I've run a bunch of them in a row.

Not that I have a really important job, but it's fun in the role I play :p I even gimped myself and took Zen Archery and got a smiting bow for the pillars. That + 10k stars + high wisdom is fun. Especially in LD with haste boost.

Alchemist Pendant (20HP) and the top tier Shroud (20 HP) are the same and do not stack.  The other Shroud tiers (10 HP, 15 HP) do stack.

I kinda like TOD, maybe because sarlonians are SO IMPRESSED when you tank shadows. Or at least they were when I was doing it last year.

I want an alchemical shield for my fighter (still one of the best shields afaik) but by the time I get her back to 20 no one on sarlona will probably being running LOB at all.
