Gear advice

In EMS we recently updated to the global version 173, adding a lot of new content and equipment.

A lot of us feel very lost now on what equipment to go for, and it would be lovely if some veteran GMS players could give some advice.

Personally I'm currently using this gear (http://i.imgur.com/bOwBgro.jpg) and am still a bit unsure on what would be ideal to get.
Currently I'm thinking about getting the Gollux set, possibly combining it with the Meister set, and filling in the rest of the ring slots with lower tier Gollux rings.
Emblems got removed because Nexon is flawless at doing updates, but we should get new KoC emblems in the next update, so that's no biggie.
Also my shoes don't have a tooltip anymore, so Idk the stats.

Any input would be highly appreciated c:

@littletlk: I disagree. Aditional options and the posibility of obtaining new gear with aditional options(both via drop or with flames) should have stayed, while making nebulites unavailable.

That's EMS in a nutshell

I do hope they remove the AO on EMS gear. It's not fair for you to get our content, but then get to keep AO.
This merge is messy. They don't seem to know what they're doing at all.

@istalkpeople: Since the switch to v173 it became impossible to get new flamed items, so we can't get AO on any new gear.
I guess it would be wise to save up Denaro in case they remove the AO on existing gear altogether anyway.

Any other general advice for important gear to get? So I can help my fellow EMS-ers around a bit as well.

@freeicecream: I can't honestly tell as of right now. But if it were me, I would be going for SW items and aiming to get good AO on those as well. Your pocket item will be replaced eventually by one of the event pocket items so you will lose the 3 boss set effect in the future. Since we don't have AO in GMS I can't honestly tell how hard/rare that 5%all stat is in additional options so if you feel like you can get that easily on SW, most definetly go for it.

@istalkpeople: Thanks for the tips!
Seeing the stats on my face/eye though, would it be profitable to upgrade to SW? The AS% already makes up for the lower cube tier, and the eye has some bonus str as well. The face would only gain 5AS base plus 2 more SF slots.

You will be most definetly going for gollux set and in regular servers meister is highly unuseful. Considering you will be most likely running tyrant belt + 4 piece gollux. You won't simply have the equip slots for meister set. Looking at the SS I can tell that the following equips you will be replacing : Rings + belt + earring + pendants. Gollux covers them all along with a tyrant belt. The 4th ring slot could be something else though. I think many people opt nowadays for Superior/Reinforced/Solid gollux rings along with Blackgate ring instead of a cracked ring, so look into that. Not 100% sure if you got commerci, but if you did you will be aiming for Sweetwater Tattoo and glasses for eye and face accessory slots respectively. Think that's it for the equip changes. Everything will be fairly easily obtainable, just time wise a bit longer process.

also, screw your medal.

And screw your additional options, too.
