Item Lists: Cloaks and Robes

[blackjack]

I'm making a list of items by trawling through the scripts. Here's part I: the cloaks and robes. My comments are below.

The best cloak/robe in the game appears to be the Symbiotic Cloak... it's basically a Guardian Cloak with 3% less armour, no +1 to Melee but +2 Endurance! Who wouldn't trade 3% armour and 1 melee for 2 Endurance? You also get the Symbiotic Cloaks earlier (or about the same time).

 

It might be a typo - Jeff prolly forgot to put a "import=10" in the scripts, in which case the Symbiotic Cloak becomes a more reasonable item (i.e. no bonus to Missle, QA or Parry)

 

The Specter Robe is also a great item, and you get it pretty early too. The rest are so-so... Shapers may like the Transference Robe.

 

Basically, all cloaks weigh 2 lbs, while robes weigh 5 lbs, so there's little to pick from there. And they can all be augmented by crystals.

For Agents, the Symbiotic Cloak isn't so hot. The best cloak, no suprise, is the Agent's Cloak.

 

Boosting all of your magic skills and spell craft adds so much damage that the mind boggles. And you need it to push your battle magic and spellcraft levels into the upper teens/ twenties for the critical damage returns.

 

My Hunter Guardian on the other hand, truly enjoyed his Symbiotic Cloak, but frequently used the Infiltrator's garmets.

Somehow i feel that the robes were really better in G2, even thought his might not be the case.

Yesm what is with this Star Rateing anyway? What are you supposed to judge your vote on, and why is it called Karma?

 

I have 4 out of 5, which i guess is good even though i don't know why i have it.
