Scout/Studded armor BiS question...

Hi ,

I didn't see a better spot for this question, so I'll post and hopefully my fellow albs/scouts can help me with an answer.

I'm recently 50 and working towards my template. Have some feathers and some crafted, studded; and am ready to purchase a chest. I'm looking at 2 pieces of armor. The Sidi chest which is typically regarded as the BiS for most if not all classes. And the Dartmoor (dragon chest) which appears to have a higher utility with an ablative proc. To give more perspective the Sidi chest: 59.33 util, 22 str, 22 dex, 40 hp, 4 archery, with a 180 heal proc. Dartmoor (dragon) chest: 27 con, 27 qui, 9% slash, 3 all melee, with a 150 ablative.

Common sense tells me that the Dartmoor chest is the one I should build the template around since I can have heal procs applied to my crafted gear. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance to any and all with advice!

The Sidi chest has the highest heal proc in game, so it’s usually taken. The lost utility can be made up with a decent spread of RoGs

i skipped sidi chest in my template because of 4 bow and str bonus. i have bow skill on bow and some on jewelry. i m capped str (using slash) with weapon/shield and have str on ring (ring of arcane strenght). i ran all cap including str and have d/q (trackers ring or something like that), s/c (cloak), hot (worm hide bracer), dd, abla charges (ring of arcane) on me. no gear swap needed.
i found it not possible with sidi chest.

I also will be using RoAS (ring) and yes, it will be very easy to cap strength. It honestly shouldn't make that much difference between a 180 heal and a 150 ablative. I am still attempting to find a inexpensive ring and/or bracer or get lucky on a Sidi roll. But will try both chests in Loki and if it's apparent that I don't have enough utility to cover everything, will likely go with the Dartmoor chest.

Thanks!
