) with honorific boots and gloves.
The honorific items were on t4 boots and t4 gloves which can be gambled and had the following mystic orbs: Dexterity x5, maximum damage x5, magic find x5, life regeneration x5 and the final x5 mo was a mix of x5 elemental resists on one boot, and x3 faster hit recovery + x2 elemental resists on the gloves. All empty sockets are filled with Perfect Amethysts. MO your tracker gear with DEXTERITY which puts it to level 110 req then MAXIMUM DAMAGE at 130.
These two honorific items are not only incredibly cheap, great for mfing and easy to make, but they very stat and damage efficient the point where during my playthrough I noticed equipping

made my character lose a very noticeable amount of damage. At first I was confused, but It made sense after I saw almost 450 dexterity was lost as a result of equipping Wind Runners, so don't bother upgrading your gear unless you have multiple other pieces ready.
It's also worth noting that I only had around 200 sigs at the time, so kills were slower at first and I had to kite, but as I started to approach 300 sigs then eventually 400 sigs, my damage in fauzt skyrocketed and I could just facetank through it. Sigs make a big difference when dex stacking.
Anyway the point of using the set and honorifics is just to farm Fauzt with maxed Maelstorm. I farmed from 130 to 140 pretty quickly (rank 1-2 sin) using these exact items. The set bonus is one of the reasons why you farm so fast, so don't think that mixing and matching upgraded gear will help you clear get better, because it won't in most cases... that's just how good the set bonus is.
