new items for hunters

[agoracy_]

Did anyone got any nice drop in the new 3 man instances and 6 man instances so far?

I think in the hall of mirrors there is a nice earring, a good alternative to diamond stud (100% drop and you have to roll only against 2 people). forgot the name atm and I am too lazy to look for it :P

Also, a nice necklace as an alternative to ancient signet pendant (haven't got one yet, still grinding in forges).

Just did the new 6 man instance last night, but felt asleep at the last boss and I've let a kinnie take my place.

Any other nice items for hunters?

Haven't seen any great drops yet, though there looks like a couple of nice items in the 12man raid.(earring & pocket)

I'm more excited about a couple of crafted items, seeing as since book 7 icpr has been much more of an issue, I blew all my cash on a pair of the critted turtle bracelets & flawless Galadhrim dagger. I lose a couple of hundred morale by not slotting Insidious Cuffs but this feels much better. 950 icpr - luvverly :D

Bracelets:
+97.2 in-Combat Power Regen
+20 Will
+40 Agility
+20 Vitality
Great Strike-
On any damage:
5% chance to Receive effect:
+25% Devastate Magnitude
Duration: 25s

Dagger:
Wield: 1% Auto-attack Critical Hit Chance
+97.2 in-Combat Power Regen
+176 Maximum Morale
+20 Agility
Target: 5% chance of increasing your target's susceptiblity to Beleriand-type damage.

and NO MIGHT!!!

You tell me? I've spent 10 golds on buying 2 turtle bracelets back in b7 days, since critted version was BoA... Now I have to search for the critted versions, and I believe that I'll have to pay like 12-14 golds (or maybe more?) for each...

Anyway, I am using them (turtle bracelets) only for grouping, I have ~820 ICPR with cuffs equipped, more than enough for soloing... If I'll get another earring from hall of mirrors (I think I'll quit farming GS for diamond studs) I think I will be somewhere around 860...

Uhm.. That dagger looks tasty!

Not bad but for my hunter I prefer the Hammer:

63-100 Beleriand (2.0 speed) 40.9 dps
+20 vitality
+176 Morale
+97.2 ICPR
ecc....


Way better unless you really need that +20 to Agility.

[OMWiener]

arguably better:

Turvegil (http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Weapon:Túrvegil)

yeah higher top end damage & a bit more vit is ok ..... but I just can't bring myself to walk round carrying a great big fugly hammer - unless the model for this is a bit more discreet than the LI hammers? This is just me though - I have a problem with the looks of most weapons since MoM released :(

[Llewrend]

Túlloch dropped yesterday in Dar Narbugud. Not too bad.

But OMWiener is correct. I don't see any better off-hand weapon than Túrvegil. I currently use non-crit TGW hammer but I won't be trying to crit it, I'll just run the Waterworks instance for the sword.

Yup. Just today I crafted myself this nice hammer, and also bought the new critted turtle bracelet.

Can you tell me how much did you paid for it? I didn't had time to check the AH lately. I've paid 5 golds for the non critted version...

[Telaron70]

I paid 11g & 8g for mine (too much but it's only play money ;)). Some people are asking 25g buyout on Evernight which is insane

Wow... If that is on Evernight, I don't want to know how much they cost on Snowbourn. Meh... I guess this is mostly because the critted version was not available from the very beginning, otherwise the prices will be a little bit lower...

*sigh*

[Llewrend]

I'll try making you one TGW hammer on Snow if you just get me the materials. And also you really need to come up with a name, I hate crafting nameless stuff. Just send tell to Llewrend. :)

Anyone think it's possible to get 6k morale and 3k power? I think I'm stuck on 5913 and 3006.

Edit: Actually, yes. It is possible. 6003 and 3006. Theoretically, I don't have the items and it's not the most efficient build. Just big numbers. :)

[Telaron70]

Not for me unfortunately...... it's always a trade off with other stats. But then I've never even seen things like amber rings drop, let alone won a roll. I can manage about 5.2k morale or about 3.2k power, but then my other stats like icpr or agi are horrid, so as ever I compromise. Still very survivable tho' with pretty respectable dps.

I don't know enough about the new gear yet to know if 6k/3k is even theoretically possible. But if you are that close then yes must be the answer surely?

It was 11g, on Snowbourn.

[Eikinskialdi]

The few of em I see on snowbourn are around 8G's most of the time.

Btw agoracy I bought a hunter lvl 60 axe 2nd age for only 10G buyout. :D

Yes, much better.

Too bad I got the hammer before looking at the drops of the new instances.

[Elukriel]

although its not the best morale in the world, my hunter manages 4800 morale and 3900 power unbuffed, with agi still full. this is great for soloing cus i rarely need to stop for regen and ditto for raiding. plus i have to make do without alot of these new items for the time being so im sure it could be better.

Well I've always felt around 4800 morale is plenty for pve. Soloing there really isn't that much out there that can burn through much more than half of that amount - unless you get a really nasty pull & decide to try to fight it out.
In a group it's usually more than enough too as you wouldn't normally be attracting a lot of heat. I generally try to push other stats up rather than go higher.

Having said that there is something kind of satisfying about having more than 5k and 6k would have more than a few heavy armour wearers scratching their heads in wonder ;)

[Elukriel]

i prefer to push my power up =p shows up alot of hunters when they see my morale isnt too shabby and then say oh you must have <500 agility :P

Btw agoracy I bought a hunter lvl 60 axe 2nd age for only 10G buyout. :D

Since it comes to buying cheap hunter stuff, I bought a lvl 58 hammer with 2 nice legacies on it with only 1 gold... I know it's only lvl 58 but it's much better than my previous sword... My only problem is that I don't like hammers (My elf is allergic to them, but let's don't start again that argue with elfs/dwarfs/man etc) so I guess I'll keep looking for a second age sword until I'll be able to barter for a 1st age..

I've got a nice bracelet this weekend, from Hall of crafting, second boss, but it has no agility on it so I think I'll stick to my cuffs for my every day build... It's an unique bracelet, I forgot which was the name but I remember the stats :

20will
20vitality
20fate
+183 maximum morale
20% chances to reflect 18 damage at any common damage received.

Don't quote me on it tough, I don't have such a good memory.

You were talking to me (since I was the one complaining about insane prices for turtle bracelet, critted version)?

Regarding 6k morale/3k power and an acceptable build, I am not that well geared yet, don't have either the helmet/shoulders from the watcher and I still have to work on my jewelery. Got one amber ring though, still waiting for the second one... :)

What pleasing symmetry there is to those numbers! :D
