How many armor sets do you have for monking? And what are they?

Why do I ask? Well...I'm buying another set of elite armor and am running out of builds that require their own armor sets, and would like to use the armor for *something* rather than just scrapping it after adding it to my hall of monuments (can't waste 4 spaces of storage).

What do I have now? Well I have a basic "all around" elite set, i.e.

4 Headpieces (each one giving +4 to a different monk attribute)
Minor divine favor rune
Superior Vigor
2x Runes of attunement

I also have a set of elite armor for 55ing, and a set for 600ing (which unfortunately can't be an elite set). So, what am I missing? Anything else I can really use another elite armor set for?

It doesn't have to be strictly PvE either, PvP sets are welcome too if there is a specific build that works well with them.

Healing Set
Prot Set
55 Set

(Includes weapons and armour.)

I D E L E T E D I · May 10, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

I exclusively use my FoW Chest, Pants, Shoes.

For a Prot Based Build, such as RC, SoD or ZB I have glacial gloves(cant afford chaos

) with +1 Healing Rune and the cool specs from the asuran with +1+1 Prot.

For a Healing Based Build, such as WoH or HB I use a Dread Mask with +1+1 to Healing and Fow Handwraps with +1 Prot.

I run full Survivor Insignias, Sup Vigor on Chest, Minor divine on pants, and anti cripple run thing on Shoes

One tip: Dont use superior runes, the bonus is minor but the -75hp kinda sucks

(That is for general pve/pvp, not farming).

On topic:
-Full survivor insignias

-Two headpieces (one prot and one healing)
-Minor prot/heal
-Minor divine
-Major vigor (cant be bothered to buy the sup yet)
-Vitae

Yes I go for +hp on armor instead of +energy, basicly because you shouldn't need the extra enery. No point of having 60 energy waiting to get drained, just switch to a high set whenever you need a boost

miskav · May 10, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Healing - Prot - Smite - 55 - 600
so that's 5 sets.

Pretty much this. I have a headpiece for smiting and divine as well though.

Monk In The Box · May 11, 2008, 12:18 AM // 00:18

I have one black dyed set for 55ing.
Then the other is a white dye set for Healing.

Melody Cross · May 11, 2008, 01:46 AM // 01:46

heal set
prot set
hybrid heal set
hybrid prot set
DF spec set just in case they ever buff DBoon and for Spell Breaker builds.
smite set (for those times and places where smite=win)
55
600
and some various headpieces when I want to take a major or sup rune

you can squeeze out an extra attribute point for the build you're running when you specialize your armor to a specific set. for the pure heal and prot sets, its one less attribute rune on them. Keep vitaes there.

used to be a bunch of 1.5s, but I've been pveing more and more; that let me afford 15k stuff.

Folks are usually surprised I have so many, tbh.

Yichi · May 11, 2008, 04:27 AM // 04:27
