Lets talk GS Guards

I have a mess of green steel ingredients and have been thinking of making some wearable GS items for my main character a Level 20 Arcane Archer Ranger.

So much so that I'm thinking of a Radiance guard cloak and an Earth Grab belt with enough left over for maybe the typical protection goggles or a Wizardry/Greater+Improved Regeneration/Con Cord Op/ necklace.

Just wondering about the guards - do some proc more than others?
Should I change one to Corrosive salt?

Just wondering what the DDO Cast crew thinks of GS guard devices......

All input is welcome.


(To bring you all up to speed, I already have a Lit II Long bow, A Min II long bow, and 2 Lit II Scimitars, 2 Holy burst, Icy Burst, Righteous +5 Scimitars - so I'm good with what I have for weapons)

I seem to recall that the DDO Wiki has proc rate estimates for most of the guards, will have to dig up a link if possible, but in general I recall that they are between 3-5%. I haven't gone for a guard myself, but am personally considering making goggles with Trap the Soul on them for my crafter. Anyone ever use that?

Hi Jerry.
Decided the Ranger is fine - he so rarely ever gets so close to get ganged up on a guard(s) would almost be bad use of material.
BUT..... (always is one huh?)

My Level 16 Pure Warchanter is ALWAYS in the mix so he's IS going to get a Concord op/ Greater Regen/Wizardry VI (+1 int)/+50 SP (+2 Cha skill)/+6 Wisdom (for the Haggle +10) necklace to replace the +11 haggle necklace he now has.

I also run Mantle of the World Sharper cloak (for regen) and have a (and LOVE) the Vampiric Fury Blade from Attack on Stormreach.
Man the devs hit that one OUT OF THE PARK for people that pretty much solo everywhere. So having concord op and 3 regens working should go along way.

After that I will get some king of auto crit guard either Earth Grab or Freezing Ice, (Maybe Lightning strike as that can also have improved regen where EG and FI can not....)


OT:
Cpngrats on the little one Jerry (and Mrs. Jerry!) - I'm sure someone has already suggested this

Both safe for work..... even work appropriate for you Jerry.

I talk about Green Steel often on my.ddo.com/samiusbot blog. In fact i just talked about some Guard items for my Warchanter bard last week or the week before that.

Do two Green Steel Concordant Opposition items work in conjunction with each other?
In other words - do they both check for a chance to proc individually?

So maybe the belt does not proc but the goggles do - then later the goggles proc but not the belt..... then both on rare occasion?

An item and a weapon do. However this is NOT intended. And the Dev may take the time to fix it sometime.

Thanks good to know.
Decided that going for the Con op - +300 SP necklace for the Warchanter is the item I'm going to make - he just hit 17 and (for me) is turning in to a super solo'er so giving him a chance to gain sp/hp with extra SP is the way to go so he can work on his 20 runs for a 2nd item.


Thanks

MAN don't you hate that - ran it 5 times yesterday and 6 today (Shroud) and did not pull the second Supreme Shard of Power - roll on one but was low so 11 runs - no love.

Have goggles made and tier one and two put on. and all the flawless / Pure etc items crafted for tier three - just need that confounded second SGP .....

Have you tried telling the group that you only need one Supreme Shard so that you can craft this run? Sometimes people will just give it to you knowing the situation and avoid the roll.
