I did fight a full VM warrior 1vs1 "PRE BUG" with a T12 chest (double reflect).
The only challenge of that fight was the fact I had to actually change my glyphs from my usual mchm setup to actual PvP setup to win and NO I did not die in 1, 2 or 3 rotations... because I won.
I have a +12 conjunct chest for 3's. Reflect is kind of a waste in 3's to begin with. The VM chest is overrated just as the staff. I have to look into boots. Thanks to this thread, I may actually consider getting VM boots after all.

Os brasileiros fazem no global a mesma coisa que fazem no mundo, quando viajam para qualquer lugar fora do Brasil: Se comunicam gritando, em portugues, em areas publicas, no meio da Disney, na Torre Eiffel, no Louvre, no Templo Shinto em Osaka ou na lua. E' agressivo, e' desrespeitoso com a populacao local e e' triste, porque honestamente, nao acho que isso seja feito de proposito. E' feito por ignorancia.
Falar em outra lingua na frente dos outros (que nao compreendem) e' desrespeitoso em qualquer parte do mundo (quando se pode evitar).
Ninguem pede pro brasileiro segurar a onda no global chat porque Americanos sao superiores ou porque o Portugues e' proibido etc...
Isso se faz para mostrar um minimo de educacao da sua parte.

You guys do realize, for 1vs1, the T12 PvP chest already can grant double reflect and still owns pretty much any other opponent in full VM, right?
I personally think I will go staff first or save my VM efforts for a DPS alt. As far as cost and benefit, I just don't see the effort paying off for priests, regardless if we get staff, chest or boots.

I clear MCHM daily with my static. I am not really concerned about clearing it 10 seconds faster.
MCHM is really about: Screw up as little as possible => Profit. Especially once the team already has it on farm mode... so, on a personal level, no, I don't need any changes to my class to enjoy the game or make things work.
Now that we got that out of the way, I honestly believe we have been too long without any meaningful core update and that bothers me and sends a horrible message to the more hardcore players that appreciate the deeper aspects of this game and follow closely on korean news and releases.
The lack of any explanation for why the class patch has not been applied, dated or even mentioned... EVER... is quite disappointing.
This, along with no solid news regarding the new raid and BG content makes for a lackluster 1-year anniversary to say the least.
While I do understand the financial side of the business may thrive on vanity items and cash shop, I think there is a big chunk of the community that writes guides, studies mechanics and shares knowledge that is shared in the forums. The completionists, the organized guilds, the serious PvP'ers and statics that farm MCHM daily, those people are all part of what makes Tera work for everybody. I see them leaving, abandoning the game, not because there is no content but because the content is not being delivered like it used to and ULTIMATELY because it seems that we lost a live connection we used to have with EME and BH. I am cutting back on the forums because I am honestly tired of logging in to read an admin say stuff like "It will come when it comes" or "You will know when we know" or "We will tell you as soon as we get more details"...

What Leiloni said :D

Only Regent chest is worth getting for superior stats and the special extra rollable stat. The rest of your gear is just fine.

The Nexus staff, when maxed out, will heal about 5% less than a maxed out Regent staff in exchange for giving you 8.6% MAX HP: I wouldn't trade Nexus staff for Regent even if you paid me.
(If you care that much for the 5% healing, work on getting the conquer ring that will grant +9.5% healing, each)

You may want to consider gloves ONLY if your current one is not yet masterworked and you care for the appearance and the extra defense. If your current gloves are already MW, then its not worth the hassle.

It's a base bonus no other staff has and it gets boosted by masterworking. It is not pointless for PvE as it clears all PvE content with ease. You can spit on a MW Insight all day if you want but the advantage of the Queen's Call is still debatable for PvP and pointless for PvE.

Ok... now is the time you brag that you have a VM staff and add nothing else constructive to the discussion.

Mana charge also rubberbands. But it always did, not only in BGs.

add another $500 for the exclusive hairstyles.

I would gladly pay $500 for each individual costume. Throwing money at my screen right now!!
