S Ranking of Weapons and Gear?
Did someone create a good visual chart of all the weapons and gear ranked from S to F tier?
I good chart and overview here would be nice.
Any veteran has something he wants to share with me?
Would be nice.

this makes no sense you would need like 50 lists. one for every class and specialisation.

and you would need more lists for cross classes too

Game is extremly popular and has been out for over a year.

All these things are already created.

One just have to search

I suggest you just look into specific builds that interest you and check what items are suggested for it.

One build’s trash is another treasure after all.

For example, there is no question that the Potent Robe is the best in slot for a warlock, but it's extremely unlikely that anyone else is going to particularly need the buff of adding charisma modifier to cantrip damage.

(Warlocks are charisma casters and their signature ability is a cantrip, which means the Potent Robe is basically designed and intended specifically for warlocks.)

idk, I might be wrong and many wont agree but I think If you looking for a dagger there is for sure one thats better than the rest.
And if you look for a bow there is for sure one that is considered better in many tiers.
I get it, whoever has not the answer will try to say something but I am really just looking for what I asked for, if you dont know, then you dont know. Its ok.

There's very few items in this game, you don't have THAT much choice, most of the stuff are from vendors or act 3 quest rewards.

Just pick them up and use them :)

I know there are places that make "BIS" recommendations for various characters, classes, and builds. I don't care.

I use lots of equipment mods, and often things that are better than what they recommend, so I don 't care,

There's a lot of gaps in what's available AFA vanilla equipment. Why are there so few decent battle axes, just as an example? There are no very rare or legendary battle axes in the entire game. Well, in any case, thank the stars for mods.

I guess if the forum does not know and can not help you have to look yourself.

Its about helmets but I am sure there is also videos about other items.

That very same channel also has best weapons, best weapon by act, and great (if a bit unoptimal) build guides. It is, in fact, pretty much what you're looking for.
seeker1 Dec 26, 2024 @ 3:04pm 
That's the kind of guide I used to be interested in, until I became aware that mods bring so much better options. :steamhappy: "What's best in slot in the vanilla game?" "Well, everything in the vanilla game for that particular type of weapon or type of gear sucks."

I also agree with other folks that "best in slot" is really kind of subjective, because it begs the question as to "makes you best at what"? Obviously, yes, such guides have limits, one being something being best for warlocks, might be good for the vanilla options in the game, but NOT so good, say, for hexblades ....

BTW - did you know that one slot that many people consider "useless" if you are not a bard - or without performance proficiency - the musical instrument slot - CAN be used by other items? There ARE mods that let you use it for quivers, or other trinkets, such as the JWL Discordant Instruments mod.

Also, the underwear slot is very popular for a lot of mods, because of course, that way, through "magic underwear," you can get the benefits of X or Y without using up a ring slot, or some other equipment slot, that might otherwise be used for other stuff. It almost makes me feel Mormon.

If I discuss mods a lot, and I know I do, it's because they let you do SO much that is fun and interesting. Do you know what's great about the Treasure Trove mod? It contains some stuff that is often "best" for a LOT of builds, characters, and classes/subclasses (if not all).
