View Full Version : Which should I use: A question about 2 masks.

Ive wanted a flayed barbarian hide mask for as long as they have been around, and recently I had started making enough cash to actually consider purchasing one. I looked around at a few of the prices, and seeing 150k and 200k I lost interest in it again.

So, I just assumed I would never see one and moved on...

A little while later, I bought a really nice mask from LDoN, the Mask of Eternal Sands from Tak. I auged it out, so now it is 10 ac, Vengeance II, See Invis, 6 str, 6 sta, 8 dex, 5 wis, 5 int, 55 hp, 8 sv cold, 8 sv poison.

Tonight, about a week after buying this LDoN mask, I zone into the baz and see someone auctioning a flayed barbarian mask... for 80k. I thought about it, and decided to buy it. 80k is a pretty good deal nonetheless. Im pretty positive I could get 120+ for it no problem.

So here I am now... 2 awesome masks, and I dont know which one to use. On the one hand, the barbarian mask is definitely awesome. 35 ac, 100 hp and 7 sv all kicks ass, no doubt about it. On the other hand, I do get more attack with the Tak mask, plus the nice see invis that I wanted for so long. Most importantly though, is that I spent about 1600 LDoN points to make that mask and the thought of not using it now makes me sick =(. The actual stats (str, dex, sta)arent too important to me because with buffs I am always at cap anyway.

So basically, what would you do? Would you sell the mask for a nice profit and upgrade other things and use the Tak mask, or bank the Tak mask and use the barbarian mask? Your input is appreciated =)

keep the ldon mask (even if both items were no drop i would still use the ldon mask)

and sell the barb mask for a profit.

Ive also looked for the Barb Mask for a long time and decided to go with an Amygdalan's Chain Mask for around 25k with 85hp and 5sta, a much better deal for the cash.

I'd hate to be in your situation, but if I were, I would probably sell the Barb mask for a huge profit since you spent so much time on the other mask already, especially if there are some other upgrades you could use. Marauder Snowblind, Barbarian Deceiver

80k for a Barb mask is a good deal. (see them for 300k on MT...dunno if it sells though)

I would definently keep the mask though. Not for the stats though. (although they are damn good) The best part is u can turn into a barbarian anytime u want! How cool is that?

Of course if u are already a barbarian, then i would sell it. Peorth

since sta = HP.... you will come out ahead with the LDoN mask if you have the right AA's (ND, PE) and arent maxed STA when raid buffed.

Barb Mask has more stamina than the LDoN one.

Ahh.. I was going off of the stats he posted only since I was at work, and I am not supposed to be online when at work.

I bought the Takish one and threw a Vengance 3 augment into it. Frankly, the mask is not terribly special but for a relatively cheap amount of points it yields vengance 5 without completely killing the slot. For an idea of how I rank items though, I still use a Turtle belt as I missed out on the Dorf slaying one ages back. Celeris Tujimson

Thanks for all the responses guys... based on my better judgement, as well as the overall general opinion of the masses, I decided to sell the mask. I got 200k for it =)

+120k, still using my LDoN points and I am one happy rogue right now heh.

Now, to just find something worth buying as an upgrade to me...

Pretty sure you can't sell items, just augs. and just unused augs at that.
