The Spirit Realm

to add: cloak of regretfull transgressions, mask of lament, ring of deterrence, ring of beasts and choker of imprisoned visions from coa. from tacvi look for xxeric bracer (beats coa junk) and ring of organic darkness. coa visible armor isnt that good imo, beside bp. i would eventually get it, depends how far your guild is from demi of if ya farm lesser DoD targets for bazu stones. gm armor + bazu or last blood ftw!

CoA arms & wrists have important spell/dot mods. I agree with you on Dawnseeker hands & feet & hat, though.

My favorite loot site:

That's for CoA, but you can also click on Tacvi or whatever else for some ideas. Also, you can click on Search, put in class and slot, and it will show you a nice comparison of pretty much everything out there.

That's a good catch on the Quarm ring - I spaced on that. Given that, yes, it may be a lower priority for you to get a Form of Defense item. If you can manage to get both Hanvar's Hoop and Ring of the Beast, that works too; as was said, both are nice items even if you don't use their clicky. In my case, where we're at, either item would be either a downgrade or a very slight upgrade for me, so I'd be using them strictly for the click, and that would be harder to swallow.

I agree, high ac, good saves, good hp/mana, and the click is really really nice. There are currently like 4 items in the game with 7+ mana regen that a paladin can use. One is from ikkinz or something; Shield from queen in rss; pendant of discord in tacvi, and range item from mayong. I went after the neck, I'll eventually be upgrading it with the neck from hatchet, but i'll be making use of the click long after I upgrade it.
