Nice finds there. The staff doesn't look too good unless the defense bonus is actually good. The gloves and torque are full of hope. Hope that the latent doesn't suck and that they're not hard to get.

71 SMN
Latent: Enhances avatar attack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just tested it out.

Takes 7hp/tick from SMN to give Avatar +attk when the avatar is out.


Out of the few BPs I did, it seemed to add about ~100 to each BP.\


EDIT: not only when engaged.

That post was about the torque, but it's possible the gloves will have the same latent.

Re: New Equip "for" SMN

Updated the first post. If atlas comes back up, will be able to add location of Lotto NMs

Re: New Equip "for" SMN

Ouch, I didn't see the -3MP per 3 second latent on the torque too. Supposedly it adds 100 damage to blood pacts, so I guess it's still worth it (for macros only).
