Discussion - Live- Raid focusing priorities per class

[Granditos]

Attempting to put together a list of important raid focuses per class before the bonuses start this week. Prioritizing one or two pieces versus full raid gear. Could you help for classes I don’t really play. This is what I have so far:

Melee Arms/Legs are only a focus update if you have group gear in that slot. Raid focus same since EoK for fero/cleave. Exception is rogue- legs have poison click.

Bard- 1H/arms/legs
Beastlord- 1H/2H/ear/weapons
Berserker- 2H/arms/legs
Cleric- neck/boot?
Druid- neck/Arms/BP/legs/2H
Enchanter- Range
Magician- ear/arms
Monk- 2h/arms/legs
Necromancer- ear/arms/helm/wrist/range
Paladin- 2h/arms/legs
Ranger- weapons
Rogue-1H/legs/arms
Shadow Knight- 2h/1h/chest/arms/legs
Shaman- neck/chest/boots
Warrior- 1H/2H/chest/arms/legs
Wizard- Arms/head/2h


Once I have the list mostly done, I’ll post it in a better format.

Redcents to all contributors!

Ears for mage, bat, nec

Shaman double duration for the most current progressive spell

Some of it requires more information if you're a melee and you only have group arms/legs (and no older raid arms/legs) you need those for fero/cleave etc

What level are the characters? I vaguely recall that there was a focus revamp some years ago that changed which focus accompanied each gear item.

Thanks Sic. Updated. Which slot for Shaman is double duration?

It’s for live. For 125 (but will probably work 115+, I think everything is the same since ToV).

Druid Arms BP legs 2H

 

[knave23]

Should the priests prioritize necks at all for the heal focus?

If they are already in raid gear, lots of this doesnt matter..

Bard- weapons/arms/legs
Beastlord- ear/weapons
Berserker- weapons/arms/legs
Cleric- boot?
Druid- Arms/BP/legs/2H
Enchanter- RANGE
Magician- ear/arms
Monk- weapons/arms/legs
Necromancer- ear/arms/helm/wrist/range
Paladin- weapons/arms/legs
Ranger- weapons
Rogue- weapons/arms/legs
Shadow Knight- weapons/chest/arms/legs
Shaman- chest/boots
Warrior- weapons/chest/arms/legs
Wizard- ARMS/HEAD/2HD

Legs and arms dont have a melee focus upgrade, havent since EOK. If a class uses fire spells, only reason to upgrade arms, rgoue should be #1 for newest legs due to poison click. They are spell haste, but the tribute is actually better.

That’s a good point. I’m assuming no raid gear but will make that note for those with existing raid gear.

Only a couple of call things come to mind…

- pet earring like mentioned above
- 2 handers go to zerkers and monks first among dps
- 1 handers go to rogues and beasts
(Later you can do the opposite for the monk/bst of the opposites are rotting)

After those and a rule of the tank eating first, the rest just go by biggest upgrade. An accurate spreadsheet goes a long way for making it quick and maximizes the drops.

The particular focuses are pretty accurate above, it’ll depend on what they had vs going to. As mentioned above, many don’t change so you won’t get a focus benefit, so go with the biggest upgrade.

Until we hit the 130 max…

Most people I know run their casters with 2H so maybe that could be on there for unknown caster needs?

So is raid bard meta short spear/long sword for ToB?

Have enough currency for one weapon and picked up a stun 1H raid weapon. Mace seems to be the best on raid loot from a dmg/ratio point of view.

Question - - Best TOB T3 Weapons for Bard

Was lucky enough to get a finesse core of uprising today on my Bard. I am looking for advice on which of the two 1 handed T3 Uprising weapons I should be shooting for on the Bard. I saw in a older thread from a couple of years ago, people recommended dagger plus hammer/axe. Is this still the...
