Thread: choosing a set

for tanking wich is the best set to get??
Armour of the Thamen,Armour of the Porbad or Armour of the Tireless Sentinel???
i make some math and it seems to be better the first 2, but the rewards of the set make me enter in doubt

thx

Thamen hands down. All raiding wardens will probably agree

Agreed, Thamen all the way. Don't think I've seen any tanking warden use any of the other sets to be honest (ToO ones).

Dragon is fine, Thamen is good too. I am just glad we only have to do the raid once to unlock the set, otherwise grinding it out like DN\rift etc.. would suck on my Warden alt.

some tip that you like to give me to farm seals???

draigoch, orthanc and then 6-man stuff.

Make sure to do foundry t2 challenge as well, after the 'locks', or whatever they're called, resets. Think it gives 25 seals or something like that.

Thamen, definitely. The TS helmet is nice... wearing that with the rest Thamen is basically trading a little max morale for more inc healing.

Also if you run out of stuff to do, the Isengard 3-man and 6-man instances still give you the sigil fragments, which you can trade 1:1 for seals. Not the fastest way, but if you've already done your weekly instances and have a good group to speed through these things, you can do them as much as you want for 1-5 seals per fragment, sometimes 2 fragments per run.

i was comparring pice by pice, and its not better to use all thamen and the gloves of tireles sentinel?

gives 21 more vit
117 more parry
656 more inc heal
but 81 less might

the head comparrison is
105 less morale
67 less might
749 more inc heal

im new, but for me is better the first one, but i prefer to know the opinion of more experience wards


thx

My advice: go 4 pieces Thamen and 2 pieces Aithlen for some suprior might. Im still working on it

but in that way you are loosing a lot of vit

Yes, like 150, but you will get much more might and agility. Besides, im on 2100 vit so i dont bother

I'm a new warden myself, though I tanked everything from T2 3mans to T1 orthanc on my captain before I got my warden to 75. I have a pretty cool spreadsheet for captains I use to compare different builds, but I havent created such a tool for wardens. So I'll have to check 5-Thamen + TS glove out in game like you suggested.

what about the effective 1800 inc healing from the set bonus?

I think it's better to go all the way with whatever role you're in - full tank gear if you're tanking, full DPS gear if you're DPSing. But if you don't want to carry around literally a whole bag of stuff to swap out, 4 Thamen 2 Aithlen is a nice hybrid setup.

I hope it's just because I'm dead tired, but wth is TS?

I hope you are tired TS = Tireless Sentinel , Galtrev Barter Armor.

I guess it Depends on your dedication & what you are going to be Tanking etc etc. I 1st tanked ToO T1 with 4 pieces of the Galtrev Armor and 2 of the Great River Guild crafted items.

Ideally for pure tanking you should aim for the full Thamen Set and the Cloak made with the Scales from Driag (tho I have never been lucky with the rolls)

Oh that! Yes, thanks, I remember now. People should just say Draigoch set

To be "productive", wearing Thamen atm.

uff hard choice to make, i think i will start with 2 ts(gloves and one more, what part do you think is the best choise?im between shoulders jacket or helm) and the other of thamen, then i will see if i feel right like that

I've tanked everything through Saruman T1 with the full dragon set. Haven't yet worked on the Thamen set because I built out Aithlen first for my DPS build.

Lately I've been gathering commendations, saving for 3 Solidarity so I can mix/match that with 3 Aithlen.

I assume you have done Draigoch and got the tokens for Helm and Shoulders otherwise your choice of TS pieces are Gloves + one of Jacket, Leggings, Boots, Remember you only unlock ToO Chest and Boots after completing all of Raid.
