XP Set Help

[greatpumpkinator]

So, I have 7 Celestial boxes that I'm itching to use. I would have much preferred to have 9, to make a complete set...but I don't have the patience to wait for another ANB to get 2 more. I want to make an XP set for my warrior. Currently, I'm running Jugger set with Whirlwind weapons. I can clear Trial 100 in 3-4 minutes, which isn't too terrible. But, I'm wondering if I should switch to the Defender's set with Blackguards? And if so...I'm trying to figure out which 7 pieces to make...do I make the full 6 set with a mantle, and hold off on the weapons...or what?

I get what I'm asking is a bit ... open and vague. Any good warriors out there have any suggestions? Is the Defender's set a good one to use for XP grinding, or should I stick with Jugger set? With focusing on XP, I imagine my DPS is going to go down, and I'm hoping to still be able to clear Trial 100, but, I gotta start somewhere.

Weapons or mantle? Before the update and lvl 71-75 Celestial, I would have suggested weapons, hands down. BUT now I suggest Mantle, because you can get higher level C-boxes in ANB. Judging from the damage on several 71+ Legendary drops I've seen. You would want a level 75 Celestial weapon.

Sounds good to me, makes sense.
So now, I just need to figure out what set I want...and the stat priority since I'll be able to select them.

Im pretty new as well, but i think celestial is not really needed for xp gear. On the other hand, considering you have 7 already and can get 6 more from next anb you might have enought to make push set for season anyway.

Think i would use only 4 or 5 to make sure you have 9 at the end of season. Would go for mantle and armor part, as you might just drop a 71+ one soon which can have more dmg than your 70 celestial.

Running bladestorm ww build as well and didn't really try other builds yet.

I'm not a great warrior, but as for me TL100 in Def set takes 1:55—2:10 min and about 3-3:20 min in Jugg, so it was salvaged very fast.

Would love to try it as well, but can't find a nice shield... Might craft one soon. Btw i prefer 2wl 4jugg for bladestorm build, think that 20% dmg + hast bit better than power from devastate.

Yeah, Celestial gear is probably not needed for an XP set, but since I have them, I figured I may as well. As for a "push" set, I don't really care about Leaderboards...even in ANB, I'm just there for the Celestials. But, I do want to push my CL level up more and more, so it seemed reasonable to just use the boxes for an XP set. If I ever did want to push on the Leaderboard, I'd probably want to wait to make a set once we start getting better Celestial boxes from ANBs with the new item limit anyway.

I have a Blackguard set from T100 drops I can use to get started...so it seems like I'll craft the 6 piece Defenders with a Mantle. I've got enough Jewelry boxes that I can make 1 legendary piece right now, so, I'll probably do that too. That just leaves me with 2 Jewelry pieces, and a better weapon set to farm for.
