is there a reason why the helm gives better manergy regeneration rates than the breastplate on this set?

most armour sets have a stronger bonus on the bp than the other items, and the stats are not incredibly amazing on it to make up for the less regen bonus.

I agree...pls buff the zirco bp

The way I see it the legs give the same bonus as an epic rune at t1 level for crit, demon bp gives same as epic pain rune etc. why is this a about 1/5 as strong as epic euphoric without the reg bonus?

Does anyone apart from me even have a zirco bp? I just gotta ask with reg being a part of every build that either farms or pvp at high lvl, why would you go for zirco over earthfusion as your bp? 12% to mre and pre is kinda like 24% to reg as is it boosts 2 stats rather than 1, but still earthfusion gets 25% and then a 2% mitigation bonus as well.

i recently got one as i am trying what people have been saying to me for about a year ><

It is what it is, a lot more goes into a piece of armor than proc value.. Just an example, an armor with say +9 mre and +7 pre or something and 1 or possible even 2% less can be better because it allows you to drop the helmet for say something like an earthfusion helmet which is also more beneficial than the breastplate.. Allows for diversity of builds based on stats/ac count and not just procs.. At the same time prevents you from overstacking a specific procs..

All good points jada...I agree that it does a job and does it ok, the stats on it imo aren't overly complimentary to the proc though and although not far behind the other bp's, when you consider that you get 7% bonus to mre/pre from an epic 88 helm, 12% for a lg bp seems a bit mean. Even 15% bonus to mre/pre on the bp would be enough to make it a serious choice for more builds.

[chloe]

all i was saying was the bp isnt used that much, probebly due to other bps being much more beneficial to builds

[Jadakris]

Nautolan and Ripple both used it.. Yea it would be nice if it were better, but it's purpose is still there.. Healers will have their day again soon people just need to sit back and see how to do it properly

[chloe]

tbh i think quite a few of the armours need to be looked at again, i havnt tried a build with alot of them, but some of them i think are lacking compared to others. there needs to be more incentive imo to try other armour sets, but as they lack the formidity of other suits, i think it discourages people from trying new builds. just my thoughts anyway

[StormGuardian]

I use a Zircon BP also, and, as much as I would like to have a little more regen boost, I think it's ok. The one big thing jada missed, and the comparison to hp, is that, simply, HP pools are much larger, and get taken down much quicker, whether it be by damage or thefts/draws, w/e. Regen needs to be a higher %(even if reg itself could be nerfed slightly, but that's a diff discussion). Simply put, the BP is ok. It's not great, it's not terrible...but if it fits in your build...then it works pretty well.
