End-Game Gear Analysis for ToS

Postby Kyynelkeiju » 05 Oct 2011, 10:50

I have noticed that there are interesting exceptions in Khitai faction gear - some items are weaker or more powerful than the rest of the set. So I made analysis of armor items to point out most interesting pieces for TOS. Also POMs might find result interesting.

Here is "little" fixed width text table where i have assembled some interesting stats as well as calculated DPS value of item. I have ignored hit rating as you'll get over 10% hit chance in every gear setup and that is more than enough for dps caster in pve. I have also ignored mana regeneration because TOS:es get more mana from tap than regen. T2/T3 items are included, but T3.5 and T4 I haven't inspected.

Code: Select all
It is assumed that you are using feated Storm Field V as your primary DPS spell.
Wisdom should be x 7½, but exagurated because it has many beneficial effects.
Hit Rating is ignored. Therefore:

DPS = magic damage x 13 + wisdom x 8 + critical rating x 5 + critical damage rating

The Faction Set Analysis
Best DPS set is Scarlet, but its hands are weak. Yellow Priest hands are better.

Best healing set is Yag-Kosha. It is also your protection set, but dps wise its chest and wrist are weak. Consider Cheng-Ho or DPS items for those weaker pieces when you don't need full protection.

Best health set is Hyrkanian, but its head is weak. Also Yag-Kosha shoulder and belt have high health.

Cheng-Ho set is alternative healing gear with high manaregen and immunity. AFAIK it is more suitable for POMs than TOS:es.

Yellow Priest set is critigation dps gear, but it generally has weaker health than scarlet or hyrkanian, so survivibility is still weak. You should only consider hate reduction pieces from this faction.

Special mention about Grand Monarch head piece (from Ardashir Fort HM): It has high health, dps, hate decrease and heal rating - Perfect hybrid gear. Only minor caveat is that there is no wisdom or mana regen.

Individual Piece Analysis
Code: Select all
(head)     scarlet=dps, yag=heal,     ardashir=con+hate+dps+heal, t2/t3=con+hate+dps
(chest)    scarlet=dps, cheng=heal,   hyrk=con+dps+heal, t2/t3=hate+dps+con
(legs)     scarlet=dps, yag=heal,     hyrk=con+dps+heal, t2/t3=hate+dps+con
(feet)     scarlet=dps, yag=heal,     hyrk=con+dps+heal
(wrist)    scarlet=dps, cheng=heal,   hyrk=con+dps+heal, t2/t3/gyas=hate+con+dps, yellow=hate+dps+heal
(shoulder) scarlet=dps, yag=heal+con,                    t2/t3=con+dps,           yellow=hate+dps+heal
(belt)     scarlet=dps, yag=heal,     hyrk=con+dps+heal, t2/t3=con+dps
(hands)    yellow=dps,  yag=heal,     hyrk=con+dps+heal, white=hate+dps


Other Items
This was armor item analysis, but don't forgot that some factions have weapons, accessories, pots and weapons. You might want to get Staff from Tamarin Tiger before working with Cheng-ho pieces. Wolves have dps+healing necklace that you might want to get before Hyrkanian health gear items. Last Legion have good potion for TOS that you want to start using when Scarlet epic shop has been cleared.
