Hmm well this started out as a simple question and has quickly snowballed as I add more backup details (sorry!).
I just wanted to check with a few others who have throwers your thoughts on my suit vs soul glaive.
With all my warrior builds I try to build SSI / DI into my suit so it frees up properties on my weapons. As you know this is not a simple task in itself and then add to that trying to maximize your stats on top of all of that to be 150 str / 210stam.
Initially I was using the Beserker Breasplate (10SSI / 15DI were both used) with Aug Wings (+5 SSI) so that I didn't need either SSI/DI on my weapons. In addition to Beserker's & Aug Wing SSI; I have 10 from both jewels (20 total) / Cameo (5) / SSI Eps (10) / City Buff (5) to bring me up to 55% SSI. The issue here was that I'm only at 200 stam (133 dex) with the Beserker chest (due to lack of dex or stam) which means I need to chug agility potions to maintain my swing speed which could become an issue in a longer or back to back fight. I If I drop my str any further,I will be a couple points short of 150 str after buff.
Then the Balron chest came out and it was a major upgrade for my stats which was great (plus I'm able to hit 55 LMC). The trade off was that I now needed to find 15 DI and 10SSI. So I swapped out my Aug wings for a Jumus to solve the DI problem and I'm left with needing 15% SSI (at 213 dex - no potion needed) to swing at 1.25.
So I have a couple questions:
Thanks!

So I have a couple questions:
- Since I switched over to the Balron chest, I've created a Soul Glaive with 15 SSI. I'm wondering if that is really my only choice now to put SSI on my Soul Glaive to reach 1.25swing? Obviously aside from the loss of a property to use on my weapon it also knocks down my Mana Leech to 40% from 50% (although havent seen a huge difference in leeching).
- One thing that I'm also wondering is what are the properties everyone else is using on their Soul Glaive (are there 5 other mods I should be using instead of SSI?). I've gone with Mana Leech / Hit Lighting / Hit Lower Defense / pick between Hit Lower Attack or Velocity. Since my thrower stays as far as way as possible and I'll typically bring him along when I have my tamer to tank stuff; I don't see the use for leech life / stam / area spell (typically only fighting 1 or 2 high end targets at once).
- Based on what everyone else is using for Mods I'm also wondering if I'm even losing out on a mod by using SSI on my weapon.
Thanks!
