[an_image]

Sharing from a PM back and forth with @Tiny_Ape to answer the questions which bp's / clikies do I use on SK FTP Tanks and Farm Bots.
Disclaimer: I use MQ2Eskay but this work just as well with any 110-115 tank using a decent kissassist ini.

Here are the BP's I keep on my FTP SK lineup:

1. Waxing Crescent Soulrender Breastplate (shared)
2. Sebilisian Dragonscale Breastplate (shared)
3. Crypt-Hunter's Soulrender Breastplate (shared)
4. Duskbringer Plate Chestguard of the Hateful (standalone)
5. Soul-Hewn Breastplate (standalone)
6. Chestplate of the DarkFlame (HH drop...for buff after wipes/battle rezz)

Other awesome clickies:

• Unity Phoenix Feather (anniversary get it now before it's done)
• Innoruuk's Voice (1.5k SK Epic)
• Blood Drinker's Coating (Gribbles)
• IceBound Trinket of Agony (Charm)
• Diplomatic Papers (anniversary get it now)
• Darkened Blood Ember Bracer (HH Sebilis)
• Bloody Orc Signet (HH easy raid)
• Chalandrai's Fang (free Poison clicky for when grouped w/ Rogue) or Bite of the whatever highest poition you can get
• Restless Focus Potion (Shammie crafted when soloing or other classes)
• Fungal Shrieker Spore (best one you can get during anniversary NOW)
• Necromantic Dragon Bone (Anniversary from Ankra in POK, get it now)
• Traveler's Boots (little slower than Jboots but easier to get, no questing - 5k buy from vendor. Great for FTP only bots)

Pet Clickies: (useful for mage pet swarms)

• Amulet of the Mariner (crafted)
• Cloth Cap (get it now during anniversary - pok /nav spawn a crystalline)
• Vicious Rabbit (loyalty vendor - pok)
• Ceramic Stattuete (crafted from relic fragments)
• Arx Pet...(crafted from relic fragments)
• Prize: Dancing...of whatever (pet clicky, there's a few)

Trophies:

• Wayfarer's Tent - +HP/Heal/Spell Dmg (Anniversary, hurry up and get it)
• Prize: Idol of Severiolous
• Prize: Idol of Talendor
• Prize: Idol of the Fallen

FTP Augs:

1. COTF Vendors
2. TBM Vendors and Zone Drops (Voracity, etc...)
3. Tear of Alaris (go to shard's landing and ... /mac fragmentfarm ... mother...f...lover...) lol...

Weapons:

1. 2HS Life Drain, 2H w/ highest proc damage
2. Sword and Board when you're struggling or Best Rune Proc 1HS/2HS you can get

Arrows:

• Bloody Ancilles Pouch - Reagent needed but useful from lvl 1
• Huntsman Ethereal Quiver (Ultra-rare drop ... HOT?) - Pew pew! unlimited arrows

Other Contributions:

1. @Sic Darkened Coned of the Mystics ... for events or things you don't want to hit (like a DS) or for PLing, it allows allows you to toss in a type 5 and type 7 for some extra stats (beats a fire beetle eye)
2. @hackzimus Jann’s Veil, Lizardscale Plated Girdle (Cragbeast Queen quest) for clicky 50pct haste, or the belt of marvelous visions

Note: this is for a FTP, Krono pop for AA's SK. It makes them nearly unkillable, even better when paired with enc/cleric. I also use them on my farming bots and they do extremely well all the way up to above EOK expansion with healer/enc. Faded Waxing or Snowbound on everyone at 110+

Enjoy and add your own tips!

Huntsman Ethereal Quiver (Ultra-rare drop ... HOT?) - Pew pew! unlimited arrows

For me, I had a pretty good drop rate in Candyland, YMMV

These suggestions have been super helpful in improving the performance of my F2P SK. I'm glad you shared this robust knowledge!

If you don't have your Jann's Veil, look into the Lizardscale Plated Girdle (Cragbeast Queen quest) for clicky 50pct haste or the belt of marvelous visions for 30ish. Think I have these on an MQ2react to buff with.

I put one on each of my farming characters when their out gathering tradeskill mats and its really improved their performance.
