The dumb question is why do people value Darkwater armor above Selrach? Yeah, DW is Raid and Selrach is Tier 2 Group but aside from Purity (75 vs 50) every stat that matters seems to be higher on the Selrach.

Ex: druid chest: 450 vs 358 AC, 4445 vs 4112 HPs. Heroic Wisdom is 19 vs 25 but so what, the Selrach has a Type 5 augment slot into which you can put as much as 42 extra Heroic Wisdom.

I'm on FV and the asking prices for DW are always a lot higher than Selrach. Maybe I'm missing something and this is a dumb question; if so, please enlighten me!

I do notice DW prices have been dropping, and it is much scarcer so it could be a combination of scarcity and slow reaction time as raiders upgrade their gear and at first think their old raid gear is gonna be worth 2mpp or more on the open market.

I know Purity has its worth too, but not to this degree...

Raid focus's vs Group focus's

Impacts DPS primarily, but important for any class really.
