    im a 2h dk building an offset for tank. i have most of the warlord set completed but was hesitant to complete the set due to it not being updated as of yet. as it is now is it still worth the draken?
    seems like my armor/hp/resists might take a beating

    Hi sirlansalot,

    At this time, now one can tell if it's a good idea to purchase that set right now or not. I don't think the "game gurus" has an idea either, basing from their threads.

    Personally, I'd refrain from purchasing it for now. Try to craft as much as possible since the test servers hint on being able to transfer your stats to items exclusively purchased with Draken (including the BWR).

    Regards,
    Sulay

    thanks for the response!
    ye, ive just been crafting and waiting until i know more about potential changes. but its burning a hole in my bag space haha so the sooner i can decide to get it or not the better. i have heard about the potential for that transfer but depending on what you read it varies wildly on whether or not it will be implemented :p

    Even if it was updated don't ever touch those 'lucky' spheres, since you have only a slight chance to get the pieces you want. They're a terrible idea and need to be removed from the game. Also afaik, there's a Dragan event around the corner possibly in June so definitely worth waiting for that at least.

    ye the sphere system is garbage, but since the set has only gone on sale once in over a year as far as i can remember it might be the only way to get it completed :/ i only need 2x t2 shoulders 2x t2 helms at least..but im certainly trepidatious about wasting draken

    I can only hope you decided to wait, otherwise there's a very high chance to infuriate yourself

    Sirlansalot, I need the same amount for shoulder pads. I need 2 tier 2's. I would recommend wait for next dragan event to buy the rest of the set directly.

    Waiting has it's dangers. Who's to say if the devs are going to rework the Warlord Regalia. With the present trend making block more difficult to achieve there's also the possibility that the rework will result in a less desirable set.

    imho, if the current set meets your needs I would not wait.

    In the immortal words of Inspector Callahan, "...you've got to ask yourself one question; 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" :cool:

    Luck be with ye,

    I dont think they will update te old dragan set , remember they have split the enchantments in 2 diferent set because they have considered is too powerful.
    Anyway it will be outdated and there will be better ways to get dmg, the probems come when you need to get block strenght as the shield from wolf is nerfed as ...

    i mean i guess i could use the draken to get wrathkeeper/lifekeeper and try and craft good block rating shoulders? for dps set im not even sure i couldnt do batter right now crafting a good + dmg helm and keeping the native stats from lvl 55 shoulders/helm and gwenfarras cloak. /shrug

    If you don't have the lifekeeper, buy it, it will help you a lot on tanking except on boss battles. The rest, keep it or use it for the little hp runs that are worth 2k. I personally have arround 20k drakens saved just in case something happens, but you can do as you wish of course, it's your drakens :p

    I have no doubt that sooner or later they will ruin (oh sorry) update the Warlord set. Now the only real question is if they ruin it for only the new players or nerf the original set that everyone has already.

    If there is only one thing that we can absolutely count on with this game is that sooner or later the developers will go out of their way to ruin what isn't broken.

    I hope they update it, then i will hope they won't break it.

    1 hope at a time ;D

    Actually the uncertainty is far greater than just the possibility of it being a less desirable set, let's look at the latest Full Moon changes as an example.

    No more tier to tier crafting (4xT1=1xT2, and such), just core crafting, old Vargulf's Legacy set killed, forced to run higher difficulties for chances to get randomized higher tiered items...

    There's a possibility that they follow this trend with other event sets, like old Warlord, Bellicose and Battleworn sets, and this would be a major let down, but since we don't get any sneak peeks or information whatsoever we can just cross our fingers and hope for the best I guess.

    What I'm personally doing is waiting, I'm crafting and saving materials in case the Bellicose or the old Warlord set turn good and they're worth using in core crafting, and of course that they're obtainable by mortals like me lol.

    In my opinion, the fact that there hasn't been a sale for Dragonsilver, Armor of Darkness and Warlord regalia since R185 speaks for itself, I'd wait and prepare, if they turn bad or less desirable, you can ultimately look for other options in the PW uniques.

    The thing is new uniques have 3 stats in white at the top while old uniques have 0, 1 or 2 at the most. And new uniques will be level 55 with out any glyphs.
    And a lot of new uniques have extra gold stats at the bottom.
    I have some old sets of uniques that i would like to add the white stats from legi-s on to them is that possible.

    I totally agree on this, I'm waiting too, taking my time with farm and craft.
    When there will be a more complete and stable situation, I will make my move.

    Dont buy Warlord set for tanking, only need the shoulders if you dont have crafted pauldrens to get 80% BL, and then a few gops then to get 80% BL in infernal. Helm and cape are useless for 2h and 1h.
