Help on Reforging Equipment

• spirit2roam wrote on 2014-10-26 20:46
  My Bohemian Set is pretty much complete after about a month (except for my Outfit which I still have to smack an Ambush ES on). Since I'm close to finishing Enchants, I'm trying to figure out what reforges I would want to get for each equipment.
  
  All my clothing are R3 with only 1-2 lines so I got a lot of work to do on them. I'm looking to get reforges mainly focusing on Archery and Lance reforges since this is my main (probably only) hybrid combination.
  
  This is what I'm thinking for each piece of equipment:
  
  Hat: Lance CD reduction
  Overall: Crash Shot Fragments Increase
  Gloves: Lance charge DMG, Magnum Shot DMG, or Crash Shot Frag DMG
  Boots: Lance Charge Max Range
  
  It's mainly Lance reforges since I feel like I use that more, but I'm not if this is sort of ideal to do. Heck, I don't even know which equipment to start on first.
  
  Are these good reforges to aim for, and which equipment should I start on first?
  
  Thanks in advance for your replies.

  If you're using bohemian set, you should be aiming for archery related reforges.
  
  Personally, I feel that bohemian gloves should have magnum shot reforge, since the whole point of bohemian set is to increase your magnum shot damage.
  Hats, you can do whatever, but I would say there are only four useful reforges. Wotg attack speed, crisis radius, lance charge cooldown reduction, and crash shot fragment reforge are the ones.
  For boots, you can get lance charge max distance or ranged attack max damage. You could get drop kick, but I don't think fighter is strong enough to utilize that reforge. Another good option is shooting rush damage.
  For clothes, there is no really other good option than crash shot fragment reforge.
  
  If you want to get mainly lance reforges, I suggest you do that on another gear, not bohemian.

  Hmm, you have a point with the gloves. I got bohemian so my Bow could be up to par with my Lance. I'll probably do Magnum Shot DMG on the gloves then. Thanks for the help.

  Gloves have the most useful reforges, imo.
  
  I went through the list and wrote down the best reforges for each piece of equipment. Some are useful because they have a starting bonus (assault slash range/healing HP recovery) while others afford significant damage benefits or improve versatility. Check out the items in RED, keeping in mind that you may find the other reforges useful later on especially if they're higher on my list.
  
  Keep in mind that some of these are much rarer than others (elemental reforges/flame burst attack duration). In order of usefulness:

  As far as Magnum Shot vs Crash Shot damage is concerned...I recommend that Humans side with Crash Shot. Elves should try for a double, or failing that, Magnum Shot.

  @ppl above
  Wotg attack speed is pretty bad, dowra is pretty much already capped during wotg and it just takes either speed set effect or a very very low wotg speed reforge to cap a taunes. Wotg duration is where it's really at.
  
  @kelpie
  -Kunai storm range goes to lv 20 in like 4 different places, but only highest one applies. It's probably most useful if you get it on the shuriken itself.
  
  -Crisis radius is hat not gloves and should be in red.
  
  -Hailstorm range is bad cause no one uses hailstorm, and if IS attack range means width then it'd probably be counter-productive sometimes.
  
  -Raincast CD is shoes, not gloves.
  
  -Blaze dmg on gloves is a huge boost in comparison to any other AoE skill dmg reforge and pretty important if you plan to use blaze. Shooting rush reforge is a pretty meh boost in comparison to most other dmg reforges and probably not that important unless there's nothing else you need.
  
  Edit: Reminder that lance charge distance on shoes actually lowers damage most of the time. What people want is horseback distance.

  I came back to the thread to see more responses. I didn't know lance charge distance actually lowered damage though o_o. Maybe I'll save the shoe reforge for last since that was the only thing I thought would have been worth it, but now it doesn't seem like it.
  
  Thanks Kaeporo and Oberynn for your responses.

  Yeah, it's the horseback, thought that's what you were talking about.
  
  The reforges are really preference. Here's a thing about wotg attack speed. It's bad if you are using Dowra, since it'd be redundant. However, if you're one of those people that want just a little bit more of that damage and want to sue Taunes, then you can get the wotg attack speed reforge.
  As for the duration, it works nicely with Dowra.
