You asked if those if they were “worth the price”.
It depends. Most gear decisions are subjective. Supply and demand dictates that they are indeed “worth it”. People buy them all the time.
The real question is “should you buy them”.
Qualifying factors:
* Do you have the means?
* Are resources best spent elsewhere (hence my weapon question)?
* Are the alternatives even an option? (Non raiders don’t get raid loot, if you aren’t level 46 you can’t get epics even if you have the 200,000 plat)
* Even if you provide us specifics (level, current gear, goals, etc) are you looking for advice or just support of what you have already decided on?
A ranger will rarely be a tank; it’s not ideal. They are a dps with utility buffs who often pulls. Once you meet those goals you should worry about the secondary ones.
As for a bard that’s a bit different. They are a caster who wears plate, they don’t dps but they do CC and pull. Hit points are great but going back to the top of this response: It depends. What instruments do you have? What are your resists like? Most bards would be better served with blue diamond bracelets. Bards (like rangers) who get rooted die. Bards that get feared stop singing songs. So pump that MR...
Note: In efforts to offer feedback On a multi-faceted question in less than 2000 words some of these are assumptions or generalizations. I don’t intend to get in a bard debate and certainly won’t put up much of a fight
