Thread: Need some info on my attach situation.
First of all right off the bat you should have settled for nothing less than 4 sockets, using good SEAs like that. You really need to utilize every socket possible.
Second, yes. Mabari Belt. Sacrifice the PSG for the SEAs, its up to you. i do it.
Third, get the belt with 4 sockets and put all 3 of those SEAs into it.
Your bandolier only has one SEA in it so far. Its valuable, but putting a second SEA into it only makes the loss that much greater. Your first primary objective after making a solid Mabari belt should be getting a 4 socket Ubese Bandolier, and finding new SEAs for it. Potentially replace the Polearm Damage +8 Bandolier with a new Bandolier decked out with 4 New SEAs.
Take my advice with a grain of salt if you will, but the damage has been done. You needed the 4 sockets! In my experience so far SEAs make a WORLD of difference for Pikemen, meaning you NEED those sockets!!!
Settle for nothing less than 4 sockets on your next Mabari belt, and put all 3 of those SEAs into it.
PS: If you have small SEAs, like +2's that you want to use up, try some Chitin Bracers. I have mine, have had them for a while, and theyre at 0 condition, but I use them in PvP always anyway. I get attacks to my arms in that area so infrequently that I never notice a problem. I also use gloves for clothing SEAs.
The shirt is fine, one item at 3 sockets is doable, so long as you make sure your new belt has 4 and you replace the bandolier.
You really dont need to replace the bandolier until you have enough SEAs to make it worth it. After those 3 in a belt, you still have room for one more, plus you still have room for one more in the shirt.
Leave the shirt as is, get a 4 socket belt, and keep on using the Bandolier until youve saved up enough SEAs for it to matter. Thats just my opinion.
Yeah i kinda came to that conclusion as well, went through alot of BS to make that shirt what it is.
Many thanks for the advice. Now to find some speed tapes. Mmmmmm.. speed
