tone down this monstruosity

[Matt]

but wizards :3

changed a bit

Its still stronger than fistwrap with DC ego - is that the power level you are shooting for ?

[Matt]

Well it should be stronger than a fist wrap by a fair amount since it's paragon, but maybe not as strong as a DC ego one.

Is it the Lore bonus that is making it really strong to you?

For one, default XR robes have 15% Physical (always a good idea to have a look at Wiki first in general), so these Robes have buffed % Physical on top of granting +1 SP.

The point is that Wrap of Fistandantilus is already a quite overpowered BUR, so it's not the fairest template to base numbers for a direct upgrade from; there doesn't need to be an equivalently overpowered Paragon version, so I would make the other bonuses weaker to compensate.

[Matt]

Hmm, when i was looking they were 20%, at least for the ones i remember looking at. Wonder where i got that from then also to compete with randomization the set loot should imo be baseline higher on stuff like imms, by a small percentage, maybe remove the SP and keep the lore boost focusing it more on Damage for wizards

Need to post the item it is replacing. Please read the posting guidelines in this forum, and take a look at a couple of the items I have approved.

Looks to be an upgrade of the BUR armor, Wrap of Fistandantilus.
Almost every Wizard/Sorcerer wears this BUR armor at the moment, though this proposal seems to focus primarily on Wizards.

On that note, I would be a little careful of giving Wizards improved gear as a balance method. The Limbo patch will create a need for Arcane spell experimentation and when the dust has settled, Wizard-vs-Sorcerer balance might be quite different to how it is now.
