i wouldnt go with tinker legs, they just sacrifice too many mods and resists. cost depends mostly on the arties and jewels you plan on using. it gets really tricky even with an imbued suit to maximize all your mods. some reforging is usually needed and the base pieces for imbue can be very time consuming. thats if your going plate or studded.
whats your price range? i have a woodland suit that doesnt use most the upper end arties. its really good, the only drawback is your hp is only going to be more like 135 instead of 145. you can achieve 1.25 swing speed with double axe if you use the town 5ssi bonus.
These are the stats:
Resists: maxed in vamp form
45hci
45dci
40lmc
50damage increase
20swing speed increase
3mr
30hld
Stats achievable with a max scrolled elf (champ stat scroll & scroll of valiant)
134hp
182stam
64mana
boot slot is open so you could get a little more mana
everything is included except a Tangle, Despicable quiver cold resist, and mace & shields.
im thinking around 80mil for the suit since i dont use it anymore and some of the durability is low. 220 -230 on the armor. itll still last years.
suit is on atlantic shard. shoot me a pm if you want or my icq is 442212126
