Best Level 80 Death Gear?

[Knight of the Night]

ok so i am trying to clothe my level 80 or should i say close to lvl 80 death wizard. i like to play slightly more defensive than aggressive so i like more block and resist. can you tell me what you think the best gear is for me?

ty ahead of time and i am not sure if i put it in right topic

I'd stick with the Hangman's Gear from Waterworks. The bazaar gear for death just doesn't give the resist. For the boots, you can either use the Hangman one or http://www.wizard101central.com/wiki...t_Hearth_Boots . <-- gives a lot of crititcal block and decent resist

I would use the Hangman's Hood(waterworks), Longcoat of the Wold(Llwelyn Dun Dara), and Forest Hearth Boots(Shane Macgobhan The Wild)

Hat: Hangman's Hood

Robe: Hangmans robe

Shoes: Hangman's Boots

Amulet: Armirger's Amulet of Aiming

Athame: Longnight's Mandible

Ring: Black Spinnel of Battle

Pet: any pet with 12-15 resist (i preffer nightwalker)

My death has 71 damage and 42 resistance because of this

I would go with WW Hat and robe, and avalon crafted shoes.

Hold on I will take a screenshot of what I consider a good setup(not the one I use but everyone would hate the one I use, lol)

This works pretty well most of the time.

I could show you what I wear in the arena, but it is a high risk setup, lol.

The best lvl 80 gear is the ghost chasers outfit

An amulet with Reshuffle? You'll be better off with Deathblade item card - Shango's Deathblade Amulet or Barbarian Philosopher's Mark. I also suggest having another one with +30% Vengeance (see below) - Heroic Torc (crafted) or Torc of Dire Workings (bought in Abbey Road). Since you are going for a defensive build, more blades to stack are better.

At this point, Black Spinel of Battle is somewhat outdated. Sir Malory's Seal is a better deal, even despite no critical block (which is negligible on Black Spinel of Battle anyway). Or go for a slightly lower damage but higher critical block of Aureate Band (if you can get it).

Oh, and Hangman's Boots simply don't cut it anymore. You really need the high block of Forest Hearth Boots (suggested before).

As an additional item to switch to in appropriate situations, craft Mantle of the Wold. One of the problems you'll face is Earthquake-throwing Myth mobs (removing your blades). The Mantle provides some high critical and a really good Myth resist (for a hat). Even though many people here say critical is useless, it is not. Combine this hat with a +30% Vengeance and Myth mobs (which also boost your Death damage) will not stand a chance. An almost inevitable and really hard to block critical will somewhat make up for the loss of blades. You can have two Scarecrows back-to-back, both affected by Vengeance, if starting with full pips - at least one is bound to go critical and likely unblocked. Of course, it is useful against Life mobs as well - really nice Life resist .
