Higher level weapons and armour?

[GeneticDeviant 0]

Im level 31 but have weapons and armour that are for a much higher level than what my toon currently is.

 

Is it still worth using these items? or should I stick to items at my own level?

Heya,

 

you will always be able to use weapons and armor that are higher in level than your toons level. This is no problem... Meaning, being level 31 doesnt mean you need to use level 31 items.

 

Items modifiers are a different story... if an item requires a skill or a skill mastery, it is sometimes better to have that skill or mastery.

 

Hope this helps.

as Barristan said: you dont need to be the same level as your outfit for it to be... well ''best''

 

take a look at your armor lore and see what item level you can use whithout penalty, the higher the better without speed penalty and reg penalty (same counts for weapons, look in your lore for maximum weapon level )

Also it depends what you do for attacks, If you were a high elf or seraphim that was strictly a caster and only use your Combat Arts then the attack speed penalty wont affect you much, BUT if you were a shadow warrior that uses your spectral warriors and just hack and slash everyone then the attack speed penalty would be ugly

 

Hope I helped
