What i find useful for this armour, is that... if u have a brd lv 50 JSE ring, the latent effect of -25% spell casting is trigger at yellow hp.
With brd/whm, the auto-regen is pain to keep hp to yellow for faster song casting. >_<
But what i find in another nice at xp pt is that, once i posion myself to yellow hp by a mob (-3 hp per tick) when i equip this armour, it cancel out the posion, so i keep stay in just yellow, without increase and decrase hp. So i can keep my fast cast all the time, as long as i keep posion.
Retired 69 thf. Grabbed this from AH as soon as I hit the level. Why? 3 reasons: 1) Resist poison helps if you find a mimic when picking chests/coffers. 2) It has decent defense, which is lacking for thf (solo only, not xp pt). 3) It just looks soooo much cooler than the damn Aketon...
i think that the carapace set is batter (as allraune said) but im gonna get this strictly because it looks cool so what i wanna kno is if bonecrafting or auction house(???) is the only way you can get this
Hey Iddragon... Yah u can use a poison potion any time but i think the Regen will be in effect if you have Poison not use a Poison Potion to get the Regen... Plus all the regen does is pretty much cancel out Poison... By adding HP while Poison will take away HP. Proof... It says Poison: Adds "Regen" Effect. So it only adds regen if you are poisond... so it doesnt actully garbt you regen as long has you have it equiped... So in short terms
POISON TRIGGERS REGEN. NO POISON NO REGEN
I am only a lvl 20 taru war so i may be a bit off but thats what the description is saying.
OK this is how it goes, you can use the poison potion, the resist poison effect will cancel out the poison, and then(get this)the regen kicks in. So basically, you have "Resist Poison" which either lowers the HP per tick or all together destroys the poison while still having it registered to you,(this means you can't kneel/rest)but you still have regen so you will recover HP if the "Resist Poison" effect doesn't completely diminish the HP per tick. You understand, if so rate me up!
hmm... yes your right, its been a while but i think you heal 2 per tick with a poison potion activated... hell... that helps out even if just a little.
The stats are alright, they're purely ornimental really. Resistances, and add effects while under status ailment. If you want good gear, the Carapace set however is absolutely outstanding. It has the same look as scorpion(only it's blue instead of orange/red) and has much better stats. When in full Carapace and yellow health your defense effectively doubles and you gain a massive increase in attack. Great gear for when a DD has pulled too much hate and needs defensive gear to keep them alive. If you are a war, mnk, drk, rng, sam, or drg go ahead and look into getting this gear to supplement your standard. With a macro to switch between your main gear and this you should be able to stay alive if you do happen to pull hate. Rdm, thf, and brd most likely won't find much use for this gear. Brds might be interested for some BCNMs though where they are expected to horde lullaby a group of enemies at once.
this does give the regen effect, and has resist poison enhanced, lvl required is 66, i submitted this with a pic and all the info, i dunno why it all aint here
