DILEMMA |
|
so i recently aquired a 13ed/5str/9dex/50ar jewel, and the devil on my shoulder is telling me to put it in a whistans and use it on my fire claws bear (which im currently rebuilding to be strictly melee).
I know the ed would be wasted, but otherwise its just so perfect. Ive recieved mixed opinions on the matter, and so i implore you, good people, to tell me if im absolutely insane or not.

Don't put it in the damn Whistans, Mort.
Listen to what everyone except the devil on your shoulder is telling you. Slap that fatty in a circlet, or armor, or some other deserving receptacle. Putting it in a Whistan's would be like Jessica Alba marrying Corky from Life Goes On.

Go ahead and do it.
Just know if I was on your realm I'd kill you.
No seriously.

27% - 8 frame FBR
40% - 7 frame FBR
65% - 6 frame FBR
109% - 5 frames
ive thought about this i assure you. Only a double shael atod lets me hit 6 frames. A shael whistans is still 7 frames. 5 frames is unattainable.
Im not sure how much of a difference 6 frames (as opposed to 7) will make, but using a whistans (with a str/dex/hopefully ar jewel) would give me a hell of a lot more life. Is it worth the trade off? I've been thinking yes, but then again, i really could use a more experienced opinion on the matter.

I see your point.. I think thats one of the main reasons why people dont prefer bears at lvl30.
but I still think that jewel in a whistans wouldn't be wise

AHCK, alright, ive been convinced, but mostly because i think my best shield option might be a shael shael, 9dex/-15req ATSOD, and because im not sure im in love enough with my bear
If anyone has any advice re: my shield choice, please provide it. Im still not completely certain what i should do.
