I bet VQ stole those Koi legs. They always break the rules and have pixel sickness.

Nah Koi pants suck. They are barely better than Warrior SS Greaves (-4AC -15HP). Waste of DKP. Go for Wurm Hides if you want BiS pants on Warrior.

EB rarely gets used in raids sadly, it isn't very worth it. The last time I remember using EB was in Aftermath lol, we stacked in a water pool before engaging a dragon. But we fought it out of the water, so any EB item (or spell) would have worked.

Worn EB means you won't choke to death while forcefeeding mistythicket picnics, which is an advantage which really can't be overstated.

Yeah I can't think of any major encounter outside of Koi where you would really need a high class EB item. There aren't a lot of underwater raids in Classic-Velious. I don't really consider something like phinny to be anything serious since a group can do it.

I wouldn't bother getting Koi pants on any character TBH. Waste of DKP. If you want good warrior pants get SS Greaves until you can afford Wurm Hides.

I haven't checked the DKP price on Koi pants in a long time, so I would only get Koi pants if they are dirt cheap. At that point a few DKP would be worth not paying the 60k or whatever it is these days to MQ SS Greaves.

Of course people make mistakes. But if you get down to 5HP, that means the CH chain failed bad, and not all warriors have the same exact HP pool. Good guilds try to have many warriors do the encounters so everyone gets better, and many warriors do not have mostly BiS gear. There will often be hundreds of HP differences between tanks.

Having more STA and FR means you could save a buff slot for something else, and if you need resistances you will need to swap less pieces, which reduces how much HP you lose. Trading 10 STA, 15FR, and 2AC for 5HP is honestly really dumb.

I'm glad people who clearly still don't understand HP stacking are here to give us their opinion on what's BIS. If you take a 5 HP increase on every piece of armor, that's 100 HP, so highest HP on every piece wins. Every time.

2 AC is worthless against targets that will max hit every time.

10 STA is worthless unless you're poorly geared overall. Otherwise, you're STA capped.

15 fire resist, what, who cares.

Not having to drop total HP by 50 to switch to fishbone earring? Priceless.
