Trading in emp for 160

I am wondering if i should trade in the perfected and 7 starred emp claw that i just made for a 160 claw. Also if i trade in the emp would i get the same stats on the 160 as if i were to trade in a fafnir claw?

[quote=Omniscient1]Yea what xtripled said. If you plan on sticking with your NL for your main, or don't care for any resale value if you decided to main something else. Then go for 160. I do believe you keep the stats just that the star drops to 1. However, you can keep the full upgraded stats there. I could be mistaken though it was a bit confusing to understand. It's a good alternative if you can't afford Faf and RA though. Much better than Empress.[/quote]

I am planning on getting an ra top and hat to get the 3 set effect. The only thing i will be missing out on is the 30%boss, but i could always make up for that in a pot or neb. The reason i got emp was because i couldn't find any clean fafnir claws to perfect, so i just decided to perfect a claw. Also, im assuming the att goes up, correct?

@lazershock:

Only thing sucks really is the untradable factor and that it has no top/bottom. However, if this going be your end game then tradable or non tradable shouldn't really matter as much. Also if you can not afford 10b+ for Faf/RA/Tyrants then it really doesn't matter that there i sno top/bottom. Since you more than likely would be using an empress which also has a overall. Only people that really say this sucks are ones that can afford 10b+ for the best end game gear or people who dislike that there is no resale value.

Pretty much this

In a sense, the only thing that actually beats it in terms of stats; is Fafnir + Tyrants (pure fafnir actually loses to it =P by quite a bit if I recall)
If you can't afford Fafnir + Tyrant, this is a better choice than pretty much anything in the game (or if you're like me and CAN afford it, but just hate tyrant items in general =P)

trade it in if you don't plan on quitting your nl ever cause you can't trade it after it's been converted
