does S80 set is any good for a dwarf?

Dwarf Classes Started Last reply 19 posts
ok, So I've been thinking about crafting myself S80 set. But really...is it any good or better than S76? Bonuses suck for sure...P.def too. Unless you have this special shoulder thing... which btw is a big question: which Shoulder is better you think? I'm thinking about Weapon mastery...

So, is it worth it? And could anyone suggest what attributes to apply to my set? Thanks

And what's the quest name for the Shoulder thing?
I think weapon mastery is the best for a dwarf. Any thoughts?
I'll let you know in 70% :D

Better pdef that IC, and weapon master level 1 is easily obtainable in about 30min in HB picking up the tomes. The bonuses between level 1 and level 2 are very small.. it is more of a bragging rights that you sat inside of the base tower for hours on end farming the red gems (or spent the couple hundred mil in town).

Dynastic Essence lvl 1 gives you Weapon Master S80, and I'm pretty sure you can't get any other shoulder pads than that, though it's been a while since I made mine, so I might not be remembering correctly.

Without pads, it's really pointless to get S80 aside from the added pdef, shield block rate (with shield), and more bonus HP.

With Weapon Master Heavy S80, you get a boost to crit rate, crit damage, HP, dark resist, and some other stuff, while losing the shield block rate bonus from unpadded Heavy S80. Probably the most important difference, in my opinion, from Weapon Master Heavy S80 compared to S-grade and unpadded Heavy S80 is the stat bonus. Instead of +Str - Dex (S-grade and unpadded Heavy S80), you get +Str - Con with Weapon Master Heavy S80.

Probably best to go with a 2h blunt with Weapon Master Heavy S80, since the set doesn't give you a shield block rate bonus anymore.
THanks isabelie, I just need time to play!

I'm liking the two handed blunt, pole, and Weapon Master options..
why are you guys keep telling that Dynasty has bigger p.def? lol?? IC gives you what: +8% p.def? And this crappy (yeah, I think it's a total waste of money for a dwarf) dynasty set gives you only +5% p.atacl (NOT p.def!!!)

Absolutely useless set for a dwarf! I crafted, I unsealed it, I added shoulder pad lvl 1, and yes, it is confirmed, this set SUCKS big time!

Why would I need +3% critical rate (which is like +9 crit maximum) and +300 crit. dmg. on any hit? WTF does it give for a dwarf? Completely ruined dwarf's class!

+300 crit dmg is a big deal when you start adding boss jewels....

I have baium & AQ = still nothing. We are owned by any class anyway! So, why they didn't do some SPECIAL dynasty BP for Darfs only? :/

Why do you deserve anything special? You have always been a warrior class (although gimp).
yeah ;)

Generally, Dwarves rock BDs, SwS, and nukers, provided that they get to the nuker before the match starts.

Out of all the boss jewels, the stun jewels are probably the most important for Dwarves (Antharas, Zaken, Frint).

I don't think that special armor sets are the answer, but Dwarves definitely need a worthwhile boost.
I'm not sure about you, but I'd take S80 over S76. IC isn't that good, I'd go Drac light.. .but my sub classes take heavy as well.

you have a chance against most BD/SWS because they are generally poorly geared/skilled but medusa + cancel fists will usually turn the tide with BDs and SWS have good enough survivability to outlast you in most matches and as for nukers with +dex and BW and maxed blunt mastery it still isn't possible to get in range before they get off vortex/slug/buster which is pretty close to game over ever with high resists if they have enlightenment
Dynasty with shoulder pads for a dwarf, and yes they are designated weapon master as this is what a dwarf can use, is a good set if you like the following stats.
Con-2, Str+2. Pattk +5.4, HP +492, Dark resist +8, Crit damage +234.

Not bad, but depends on if you solo, pvp, hunt in areas that do dark damage or not, so this has to be wieged in also with the pdef and cost.

I like the bonus in compared to IC, but then no shield bonus, like IC had...so a trade off. Maybe a time to go 2 handed weapon.
I think of it too....
U need to think though if you take a 2h blunt just because ur not getting a BONUS to ur shield u lose the shield entirely... and u also lose atk speed. 1h blunts are faster... meaning u can get ur stuns off faster, meaning u can survive longer/kill faster. That first stun is key to any pvp ... if it lands pretty much ur golden, if they get first hit ... most of the time ur toast especially if ur against a tank/nuker/dagger

i like Drac, the set bonus is pretty good for aoe and w/ the right element setup and mob choice you dont lose much suvivability from IC, but kill faster.
