In any case, thanks for your good work, Jeff. It is appreciated.

You also have to remember that each of those Ancient pieces is also +1/3 of a level because of the set bonus

Oooh, Shiny!

Seriously: the art on these is fantastic. I especially love the new art for Lenses of the Fae, and FoP: Cat.

Also nice to see Libram get a reprint. I don't use it myself, but it's one of the evergreen tokens in demand with Rogue players... nice to see we've settled on sort of a reprint cycle for some of that must-have Rogue gear.

re: Troll Shield, I'll second (third? fourth?) the comment that it would look great as part of the Death Knight set.

Overall, another excellent set of URs. Many thanks to the folks who wrote hundreds of comments which I didn't read through, to bring this set to fruition (and to Jeff who probably did read through all of them!)

My coffee hasn't kicked in, and I've not had time available to pay attention this cycle as much as past. But it looks like Boots of the Brawler and Gloves of the Gladiator use different wording for the same effect. I suggest picking one wording and using it for both. For space reasons, I'd probably pick the "+X to Hit (Melee & Ranged)"

Fiddy made me realize that the new gloves duplicate the new boots. I think that’s even more justification to keep working the power on the gloves

That actually makes a lot of sense

Then I kinda want my death knight sword now too…

Re the shield, I'm 100% very much in favor of this.

Re the sword specifically, either stopping at UR only as part of the set or going all the way through to the legendary would be an amazing capstone for the death knight set, and fit well with the savage theme.

Ok, I'm on board with this.
Don't have to rename the sword from Savage (I just assume the sword is named "Savage"), add the whole sword chain UR->Legendary to the set.

I think you'd need to change the name to really add it to the DK set. It's worth nothing that if both the troll shield and the savage sword moved to the death knight set, we'd be very, very close to a set where only Fighters and Paladins could equip the whole set - would just have to make something like a helm that didn't include barbarian and you'd have the correct combination. Could do something fun with the 6 piece set bonus if only Fighters and Paladin can equip it.

Edit, an example of a 6th DK item:

Death Knight Helm:
+2 AC, +3 Str.

Paladin, Fighter, Dwarf Fighter, Cleric

(Idea is to provide a slightly improved, but class restricted Crown of Might)

Fair point and that is an appealing bonus. That said, on its own, it doesn't blow my skirt up. +1 to saves and +3 h.p. are powers that are replicated on many lower level tokens and, even combined on a single token, just don't generate the excitement I would hope from a UR. All of this is IMHO, of course.

Thanks for your response.

Could rename +2 Savage Sword to:

+2 Death Knight's Blade
+2 Death Blade
+2 Death Knight's Kiss <- I like this one (plays on good night kiss, and kiss of death)
+2 Death Knight's Kris

+2 Savage Sword of the Death Knight? (though that might be too long to properly fit)

+2 Death Knight Savage Sword would make it slightly shorter.

Thinking it over, my suggestion for a DK helm is probably underpowered when compared with Cranston's (even at 4str, it's probably behind Cranson's damage ability + extra eye slot) , but the idea is the important part.

I do love the idea of a 6-piece Death Knight set!
