Perplexed about next (and last) donor item. Advice?

[Rude]

You can see via my magelo below, my SK has donor weapon/shield, and my cleric has donor weapon/mana bracer, and I run a non-donored necro for DPS. My SK doesn't have a whole heckuva lot of trouble tanking things (bridge keeper was a little rough, but we made it after a try or two), and once Fenken gets his act together ( n00b!!! =P ) I'll likely take my seat as secondary tank. I'll be making another donation soon, and really curious as to what I should grab. I *MIGHT* be able to swing the exorbitant dough for a BP, but the clicky for SK bp doesn't seem to really get my blood pumping. Am I wrong in that regard? I really want the item I donate for to be for my SK as I'm one of a defensive mindset (you can't DPS if you're raid is DEAD!!!!) but if something else is a bit of a game-changer I'd consider it. Any thoughts/opinions? I also seem to have a little trouble holding aggro on mobs when Fenk is clicking his BP in situations where we have to fight in close quarters, so that's another thing to take into account. This will very likely be my last donation, I really really don't want to trivialize things.

And I apologize for the question, I know people ask this one a lot here

Hey if you're curious about the donor bp. /test and jump over to the test server and you hail a npc and get a free donor bp of your choice to test out =)

Thanks, I may try that. It is quite an investment to not give it a test first. Aside from the awesome focus, the clicky seems to be more like something that will help keep melee DPS in the SK's group alive, unless I'm reading it incorrectly.

Were I in your shoes... I'd be eyeing up one or two donor weapon augs. That should help greatly with your aggro woes and won't trivialize the content.

donor weap augs are elite and will help you once you hit t8 , it turns your donor weapon into a Hoh/nadox bane weapon

[Rude]

So if you were in my shoes, you'd go in for the aug instead of the BP? For my MT?

Was unaware of necessity for bane weapons in T8 - just got HoH flagged this morning.

[Rude]

If that's true, that'll be most likely my target then. I was really really dreading shelling out a large enough donation for a BP

Just looked at the augs. That certainly looks tastey and much more affordable! Thanks for the tip

Well in fact about bane damage, you don't need any in Nadox, but to fight HoH Boss, you will need to actually hit them. And the only bane damage aug is dropped by Vistrinda (2 kinds of augs and it's the last nadox boss). Only other options to hit HoH boss without bane damage, is to have the evolved weapons from HoH (or those dropped by HoH boss...that requires to be killed with Bane )

About donor augments, I don't have any so I can't say, but you also have donor leggs which will make up some aggro / give you 15k rune every 10s / nice 35% dodge.

Is the test server locked for anyone else? Looks like he may have to take everyone's word for it if he can't test it.

Being dead even reduces the dps of a SK. Given your line of thinking, which is similar to mine, a great way to avoid being dead, or at least getting a second chance is:

Ares, Shield of Immortality (Best Divine Intervention in-game)
