Non-monster head/shoulder after Summerset

GimpyPorcupine · May 2018

Am I the only one that doesn't anticipate ever using a head or shoulder piece that is not from a monster set after the update? Pre-Summerset, except when DW or 1H&S, there was always the dilemma of 5/5/1, 5/4/2, 5/3/2/1. But with Staves, 2-handers, and Bows about to count as 2 pieces towards a set bonus, I can't imagine a configuration where I would not rock either a two-piece monster set, or pieces from different sets for their 1-piece bonus (e.g. 1 Velidreth, 1 Kra-agh).

Edited for clarity.

Probably just while leveling new characters - otherwise always monster when Summerset goes live on my characters.

The combination of crafted set jewelry and two-slot weapons at the same time is going to make a lot more than this decision necessary.

OK, my proof-reading was mostly non-existent on that post.

Edited original, removed this as it was no longer needed for clarification.

I will most likely keep using my perfected Maul/battle axe in PvP on my NB. I have come to rely on the ulti-gen from that thing and I'm not sure a monster set would benefit me more for what I need as I am really enjoying my current build. Will have to test different things out and see i guess.

Running two five-piece plus the Asylum makes sense. But I still think in those cases I'll improve Agility/Willpower sets to gold.

Yeah that'd be nice. Don't think ill be upgrading any agility or willpower to gold for many months unfortunately

Well, I mean, there's the people who don't have head/shoulder sets. Kind of like the people who don't do vMA or Asylum, don't have vMA/Asylum weapons.

I don't run dungeons, so I've just got a couple shoulders from the random Undaunted keys that come from various things (hitting lv45, event boxes, the new leveling system....)

They can be purchased from the Golden.

Unless somehow to arena sets sound more useful. Another reason would be bot wanting to loss a effect by back barring a set to have an arena and monster set.
