abg gear, how long will it stay the best?

im wondering how long abg will stay the best or if its going to get replaced in 2.0 even tho it is a 2.0 set i dont want to donate then not have the best for long instead of holding out and then getting the best later :wink:

 

ABG gear wasn't even supposed to be implemented until 2.0 in the first place, so it'll stay the best gear you can get until the next expansion ^^

 

thanks adieu cookie for u

 

Armsmithing ftw D:

 

Some armor types aren't the best at the moment, take plate for example.

Identical stats, ABG offers no set bonus and no extra manastone slot.

 

lol im glad so i'd be investing in plate abg >.< and now u tell me it ISNT the best :crying:

 

ABG is the best ..Happy?

 

i dont even own ABG and never will lol

 

what is the best class to have full abg for pvp? :devil:

(including rings, earings, and necklace and wings)

 

Not sure about that, but a cleric in abg clean has 1.5k magic resist. Over 2k if they invest in stones

 

for some classes ABG is not that good.for classes that need crit they don't get the bonus crit and atk like Anuhart & EAT and you have to add some MS to take that bonuses that ABG doesn't have,and if you are Ranger bb to about 470hp.

 

no matter how much gear you have, it will never improve how you play. On this server it really wont matter what gear you have Because you will either be ZERG rushed by 50 flips or you will gank newbies. Welcome to Gamez

hey dummy crit cap is 440

 

you are the dummy as it seems.440 is for PvE.for PvP thats not enough to hit a +15 armor set with ABG accesories and wings.you need 715 to crit hit those..cause 715-195-65-15=440
195=crit resist from +15 set/135=crit resist from +10 set
65=crit resist from ABG accessories
15=crit resist from donate wings

 

im sure i read a post that says 540 is the cap?
a gm confirmed it and said that it was because of 1.9 update... hmmm now im confused... hahaha

 

there is no change in crit cap.i have asked players that play retail,and if you check guides in retail and aionsource forum all say its 440
crit rate guide for 1.9
How Crit Strike Percentage is Calculated

Crit Strike has a certain chance of activating when you deal physical damage to a target. Crit Strike can be increased with the use of certain kinds of armor, weapons, accessories, titles and manastones.
0 Crit Strike - 440 Crit Strike

• For every additional 10 Crit Strike you add after 1 1% chance of doing Critical Damage

441 Crit Strike - 540 Crit Strike

• For every additional 20 Crit Strike you add after 441 1% chance of doing Critical Damage

541 Crit Strike - +999999 Crit Strike

• For every additional 50 Crit Strike you add after 541 1% chance of doing Critical Damage

It is recommended to have 440 to 540 Crit Strike if you are a physical damage class.
So Basically:
It would be very hard to get greater than 51% chance of a Crit Strike every time you attack a target.

 

actually you`re the dummy , cause the strike resist doesn`t mean critical resist ... and it`s not implemented anyway cause that is 2.0 feature and now we`re on 1.9

strike resist / fortitude means the crit strike damage received will be lower / the crit damage inflicted will be higher

 

another dummy...dude have you ever read the official 1.9 patch notes?why i ask,ofc no...btw strike resis=crit resist/strike fortidute=crit hit dmg defense
from retail 1.9 patch notes:
Physical critical hit (Crit Strike) decreasing / Crit Spell decreasing stats have been added to decrease the rate of critical hit damage incurred during physical / magic attacks.
Crit Strike defense / Crit Spell defense stats have been added to decrease the critical hit damage incurred during physical/magic critical hit damage.

 

Last I checked, the Crit Rate Diminshing return does not apply on this server due to poor coding.

 

don't tell me that you believe what you're saying?
here ya go Brain .from retail 1.9 patch notes



who is the dummy now??

 

Pretty much, for all intents and purposes... Priest AND Warrior classes are better off in Chain ABG sets rather than plate. Reason being, the bonus Magic Resist will really put off sorcerers.

but this is just my opinion.
