Cleglaw's Brace

Key details

• First and foremost, the attributes of Cleglaw's Pincers are at odds with the melee weapon needed to complete the set.
• Knockback and Slow are effective effects, but not for a melee character.
• Zeal Paladins or Werewolf Druids that would otherwise be interested in the set's benefits will find these effects annoying if not outright dangerous.
• Troublingly, the fact that they are gloves makes them incompatible with the Arctic Gear, Iratha's Finery, and Vidala's Rig sets, all of which are desirable to low-level ranged charaters.
• The Deadly Strike and scaling maximum damage offered by Cleglaw's Tooth, paired with the full set's Crushing Blow and Increased Attack Speed, make the sword a formidible weapon.
• Unfortunately, the weapon's full benefits are contingent on the use of a shield, reducing its usefulness in the hands of a Barbarian or Druid.
• Furthermore, the restriction of weapon type prevents Javazons from enjoying the set's benefits.
• Finally, Cleglaw's Claw is simply an all-around underwhelming choice of shield.
• Still, this set comes together in one build: the Bladesin.
• Knockback, Slow, mana steal, and a formidible array of offensive bonuses ensure that Blade Sentinel and Blade Fury endlessly mow down foes with ease, all while keeping the Assassin safely out of harm's way.
