Meta Gem S3

[tdark1]

What meta do you guys plan on rocking in your helms S3?? I was just curious as opinons seem to differ alot about this item.

24 ap and run so i can use surefooted for the hit

Same. I think the loss of hit going from S2 -> S3 means this is what most warriors will end up doing.

[Alysana]

Aye, 24 AP + Run speed in helmet, Surefooted on boots.

I'm currently at 86 hit - 7 more than cap. I'm losing 6 hit on my armor, 3 hit on my weapon, and 10 hit on my ring (exorcist). I'll be 12 below cap, so I'm thinking about sticking with +12 crit/5% snare resist + boar's speed and socket with one +8 hit and one +4 hit/+4 agi - putting me exactly at cap. Assuming you're only getting hit from pvp gear (helm enchant, helm, chest, legs, weapon), you'll still need a +4hit/+4 agi gem to hit cap with surefooted.

The tradeoff looks something like this I think:
Boar's Speed
+9 stam
+12 crit
+12 hit
+4 agi (~+3 crit)

Surefooted:
+24 ap
+14 hit
+4 agi (+~3 crit)
+8 crit (for example - this could be any gem)

Both setups hit cap.
Boar's speed has +4 crit, +9 stam
Surefooted has +24 AP

Boar's speed is worth 2 stat points less in itemization value, and it's more defensive oriented. I guess I need to find an enchanter with surefooted and a nether.

So basically, at 79 hit, you cannot gain anymore % to hit? So 5% hit is the most that a warrior can possibly have?

[Ishnu]

you have only 5% miss in pvp

through skillable talents or defense this can be more than 5%

[RootBreaker]

Yeah, having more than 79 will help you against frost mages, or while under the affect of scorpid sting or insect swarm, or attacking someone with more than 350 defense. But under normal conditions, you won't miss with 79.

[nubbey]

attacking frost mages is a bad idea anyway ;p

Only if they aren't being spam purged.
