WM endgame gear?
Hey Arelithians,
The cookie cutter wm is so easy to level compared to my others characters that I've gotten by with just what I find up into the teens.
I was wondering what kind of gear I should start investing into now that I'm at the level requirements and have gold pooling up?
Is it all adamantine?
What should the enchantments look like on each piece?
Are there any extra pieces I should carry around for wildly unexpected situstions?
Thanks in advance,
Dove

Eventaully a masterly damask Scimitar, a green steel one will be really useful and easier to acquire though. Im not sure what shield but if you are dex 13, then im pretty sure its addy fullplate and helm.

Thanks!
Ya Dex 13.
Trying to figure out what is going to be enchanted on to each piece too maybe if I'm lucky I'll find runic items close to the end stage itemm

Re: WM endgame gear?
Basically you're going for adamantine full plate/tower shield/helmet, keened masterly damask scimitar, and str/con/uni save/disc/spellcraft on everything else. Maybe AC instead of uni save on the boots.

Re: WM endgame gear?
If you're willing to loose a point of AC or two, there are other armors that are rather nice that -aren't- fullplate or adamantine. Yes, you loose a little AC (12 total AC possible w/ adamantine fullplate vs 10 for non-fullplate armors) but quite a few of the special armors have respectable bonuses to stats or skills.
Also, I can see trident and longsword WM builds being viable using cyclone/lesser moonblade weapons.

If you can afford the UMD requirement, Trident and Lesser Moonblade are actually superior weapons against high AC opponents.

Re: WM endgame gear?
The Cyclone actually has no UMD requirement, but as it's a two-hander, you do take a pretty major AC hit.

Oof, I typed Trident when in fact I was thinking about the Dwarven Rune Axe.
Either way, the lesser moonblade and the dwarven rune axe are superior than keen'd masterly damask against high ac opponents.

Re: WM endgame gear?
It still wouldn't hurt to look outside the usual cookie-cutter loadout. There are a few (mostly circumstantial) items that are actually superior to adamantine items. Anheg shields come to mind, as they get a total of 7 AC vs slashing weapons. Which is a litle higher than the adamantine tower shields. And since like, EVERYONE uses a freaking scimitar, its worth at least considering picking one up.
Re: WM endgame gear?
Does the AC vs X get increased by fighter bonuses?

Re: WM endgame gear?
I'm pretty sure that that's a no, which ultimately means that an ankheg shield's AC v slashing is the same as an adamantine shield's AC v everything after the fighter shield bonus is factored in. Ankheg equipment shines most in PvP against enemies using Mestil's Acid Sheath.

Helmet of Protection is pretty good.
+ 2 AC
26 Spell Resistance
Really useful against scrolls and the like.

Re: WM endgame gear?
What gear can you stack AC on? Depending on your load out you can try to add the AC!

Re: WM endgame gear?
Amulets, boots, armor, shield are their own category.
Then helmet, rings, gloves, and belt are all deflection ac.

Yeah, I usually run the +2 con one unless there's a better alternative, like the ruby necklace or something.
