Makaveli close but slightly incorrect. This is the second best SA/TA piece in the game, next to Denali Jacket(TA) and Dragon Harness +1(SA), or third best at close to cap haste levels, beaten by Rapparee Harness. Second best shark bite body in the game. Best DE/Evisceration body. Best ranged accuracy body for thief.
This if the best body. But why the *** must SE put -10 Evasion on it ? Are you *** kidding me ? No other Salvage body has -stats on it, why this ? makes it unattractive for THF solo ...
Shamaya is correct, people often underestimate the importance of Attack on SA/TA. Haste also plays into this at massive amounts (zergs come to mind) as you can lose quite some damage from losing potential TP build swings. Maxing spike damage does not always yield max damage done over time.
Who are the NOOBs who Scored - on Shamayas comment?
He said EVERYTHING right, best evisc/DE body in the game, and best RACC, only this makes it wirth it.
People underestimate Attack on SA/TA for a good reason, because it's nearly useless. This will beat Dragon Harness +1 (hell Antares Harness probably beats it) on pure SA.
Denali unfortunately beats this for TA, which sucks cause you'd think that having something as pimp as this would alleviate the need for other body pieces of the same category (SA/TA/WS spike damage).
And for exactly the reason Melphina mentioned, this would also beats DH+1 in most situations for Shark Bite, precisely because it's only fewer hits. Which is also why DH+1 might beat this for Evisceration, since it has a low DEX mod and Attack shines with multi-hit WS, unless it's close to cap, which with THF is rarely the case.
Either way, best piece or not, I'll be damned if I have to keep a Denali body and/or DH+1 in my inv if I already have this. Especially with so many new items out my inv is totally gimped already, so screw that. This for SA/TA/WS, Rapparee Harness to TP in, that's all you need.
