wtf your gear looks like a long-term goal for my sorc in SP and it's still lacking damage? future's not looking bright :cry:

One thing lacking behind I see is empyrean band, wouldn't even a ripstar be better?
Aren't you missing a lot of MOs? or they don't show in notarmory?
Also you could get better rolls on some charms + trophy bonuses

i am thinking best shield would be

I know, but how much extra block do you get with +1 ctb shield and how much with a +2 ctb one?

but I guess you said you want more damage not defences so maybe a more offensive shield would be better

notalma wrote:Ripstar i tried and still think emp glory is better but close


glory yes, but one of yours is empyrean band
i thought basic upgrade path was empyrean band -> ripstar -> empyrean glory/giants knuckle etc, but idk anymore

what content are you struggling with damage-wise with this gear?

I don't think I would use Witchblade if your second set piece is the shield; it's always felt very underwhelming to me. I used a craft until I found

Don't respec just for Starhawk. That sword requires a lot of supporting gear to be any good, and cold sorc is just fine.
