Silvery Belt of Contention  

 

Just one word :

What would be the price of this item if it didn t have haste???
ok let say 1000pp max

Then it seem to be a melee item, for monk warrior paladin sk ranger rogue.

I just wanted to add my 2cp worth to the arguement on who should get this item.

First of all it depends on your group dynamics. If it was a "Pick-Up" group then everyone should be rolling. However against this lvl of Mobs That is extremely unlikely to be happening. In most other cases it should go to someone in the group of classes that can most use this item.

For this item that group of classes would be any of the melee classes.(If wt really is 0.0 then monks definitely included). Just to prove my point to any casters complaining they should be getting this item you should check out the economics. For int casters a cinch cord is only 1 int less and goes for a few hundred plat. For wis casters a cenobite belt goes for about 5k and in fact has higher 2 higher wis. For melees a fbss goess for about 10k and is inferior to this item in haste And AC. Its not even a contest. I'd be guessing that this item would retail for 20k and up.(if anyone was selling).

Of course if everyone involved in the giant-slaying has better, then everyone should feel free to put their claim in. I would be almost certain that this will never be the case though.

Next night after Tarix got his another one dropped off a Trooper in the Arena level 54 one. I won the roll on it (only the tank classes rolled on it 2 ranger 2 warriors and 1 paladin.) So maybe after a patch or 2 they made these a tad more common.

I don't know how to put this any other way: This whole display of greed and disloyalty to anyone who stands in the way of your getting it is a great way for others to write your name down (I know many people who keep lists) and never-ever group with you, for we know how childish and grasping you will behave.
The only thing Verant could have done better was place in in a PVP area so you could all do a CR to think about who you are as a person.
I have a 35th Level Enchanter on Xev, and I have played with many ten year olds(psycological) and now have about 50 friends whom I play with and love dearly. People who behave with such greed don't deserve to group with me or my friends.
Yes, I would love this item, the weightlessness would free my Str up, the AC would help me live .02 seconds longer. I guess it all comes down to Need before greed, or "Need" to Justify Greed. I would let a Hybrid Melee have it first, and you would not find me "ROTFLMAO", or "/dueling" or yelling insults at my groupmembers over it. I believe having good friends who won't sell you out for an item are more important than some item in a game, but then again, I guess it all boils down to who you are.
Think on it before you respond, sleep on it. This is a good opportunity to learn and become a better player in a way other than Powergaming.

Any particular mobs that drop this or is it a random drop anywhere in zone? If anyone has one, please post if you recall the beast and area where you got it. All the previous comments are certainly warranted - this is an excellent piece of equipment.
Thanks in advance

if i hear one more pure caster, or pure meleer saying i deserve this belt im goin to go literally insane. you damn people are so selfish!
as for anyone who said its for casters, tanks, and hybrids, at least you get the point. damnit i hate short minded people. i have no patience for arrogant fools. and thats just what most of you are. PLEASE stick to the damn subject jerkoffs. where's it drop? how high is the mob? percent haste? get the point? good. leave the spamming for someone who feels like putting up with all your bullsh*t. oh and if you feel like i've insulted you, please feel free to contact my hotline at 1 800 EAT SH*T and give yourself a swift kick in the teeth while you are at it.

We have seen one post so far saying the haste is bugged... any more word on this? Any word on the % after patches?

BTW this belt was created to make us fight over it... no question.

Hybrid - Melee - Caster

In that order based on need.

I got a 37 lvl mage and my int is already 200 with no twinks since he is my first on the server I'm on, so the int is really not that important to me the 10 AC is nice, but once again really doesn't boost my effectivness very much. A 30 HP or 30 mana would of been alot better for my mage to get excited about this belt. My other char is a monk and when I saw this belt with the AC 10 0.0 Wt my eyes bugged out. Add a haste and this puts monks very high on the list to get this. Melee casters about the same, but they can get many high AC belts and the +5 wis will help them alittle but not much. Monks have a very hard time finding AC items this high that they can wear or has a high weight along with it making the item unuseable. If the haste is 21% or above I would give this to a monk everytime then melee casters. If the haste is low the melee casters would come first since most monks would still not give up a FBSS for it. All pure caster would be last being the least effective by this.

BTW I got 200 int without int items in my wrist, back, waist, feet, shoulders slots, and being only 37 I havn't received any of the big int items yet out there that will allow me to swap str hp items for the int slots I got right now.

why would i want this i have a cloak of piety..if you think this is nice and you dont know what a cloak of piety is you better go check it out now.
12 ac 12 int 12 wis 12 str 10 sv magic 10 sv fire haste only 2% less than a cloak of flames.got your mouth watering? well all you have to do is go get your guild(if they can ) to go kill trakanon and get this item its on of his rarer drops

Well, as a paladin, all I can say is OH MY GOD!! This belt was designed with hybrids in mind.

10ac belt- first off- it's nice to get back the ac you lose from a "Tank's" belt wearing a FBSS. Sure you get 5 from a hangman's noose, or 4 from a swirlspine belt but 10 is what a tank would rather have around his waste.

5wis 5int- now it could be argued that the casters are greedy. Seeing as how this is really the only stat on the item they would truely want. Hybrids have a hard time as it is trying to keep their ac decent, their wis or in usually falls by the wayside. This makes this belt a hybrid dream item. You get AC AND WIS/INT.

Haste- no tank/melee above L45 better be without haste of some form. We almost all opt for the FBSS because, despite its rarity, it is the most readily available haste item.

4sta - mmm this is SK/PAL geared. We are more apt to carry a high dam/del ratio one hander so that we can benefit from using a shield for more ac and possibly stats. Usually, a one hander with a good dam/del ratio is going to be HEAVY. As a paladin with 106 stamina and a WS, I would LOVE to have more stamina. I cast invigor as a matter of course these days.

This is actually a more valueable melee item because of the multiple benefits it would give versus what it proffers to a caster.

Melees would employ the following benefits with regularity:
- sweet ac for a belt
- haste
- stamina

Casters would employ the following benefits with regularity:
- sweet ac for a belt
- wis/int

Hybrids would employ the following benefits with regularity:
- sweet ac for a belt
- haste
- stamina
- wis/int

If I start a group and land one of these things, even as my druid-- it goes to hybrid -> melee -> caster in order of greatest utility.

Who's greedy?

i personaly dont see the bad side of everyone being able to get a shot at this item. if you group with ppl who are greedy and selfish then the least of your problems is who gets this item.id be more concerened with why you would want to play with ppl like that.just incase you forgot there is a little button on the right hand side labled "disband" and about 2000 other ppl you can group with and most of us arnt greedy, just trying to have fun
