The Wonderful World of Lordwafik

Yay! After the billionth time killing this NM, I finally see it drop the old ragged gloves once more after seeing it drop when we did it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the days of early salvage when we didn’t realize SSR was a diseased harlot.

Back in the day of my NA time group, it dropped and I passed it to Preet and said “I’ll just get the next one! All yours”. HA! I never saw it in my whole time in that group, even after it broke I didn’t see it drop in my own group till tonight.

With full Skadi armor set, I am thinking of setups. Now the thing is, I can’t think of any reason I’d want to wear the whole set at any time! The set bonus is “Increases rate of critical hits” - by a measly 5% that is. I can get more total DEX/STR from other gear, more haste from mix/match, more acc mix/match, etc. The only thing it’d be technically good for would be the weaponskill Evisceration, but even then -
a) I don’t use Evisceration much as it’s in the same category of dark as Mercy Stroke thus me not needing it for SC
b) If I was going to evisceration, I can achieve a higher STR/DEX bonus from hecatomb.

I guess I’ll wait till I test it out on the feild rather than just theoretical wishy wash, but just at a glance I don’t see it good for much (on THF) outside an unstacked Evisc.

Now the individual piece, the hands, are welcome by me! They are now my strongest trick attack item for mercy stroke. Not only that, but they’re amazing RNG gloves and would also be welcome for Sidewinder (and when I obtain it, ) Conorach.

Hoorah skadi! 2 full sets finally complete after doing Salvage from the day it came out. I’m glad I hung around ! And I am not going anywhere I like to help my friends, so I’ll be doing it till we get everyone’s drops.
