I am wondering which of THESE options is the best viable option for spending plat.

A) 600 health and 1200 energy sigils on a druid
B) 600 health and 1200 energy sigils on a mage
C) 1200 health and 600 energy sigils on a ranger
D) 1200 health and 600 energy sigils on a rogue
E) 1200 health and 600 energy sigils on a warrior
F) spending plat to get a full set of samhain lux gear (spectral ammy, bracelets, and rings)

So plz post below which u think is the best option and why. TY in advance!!!!

I believe that you should choose choice F) for a few reasons. Samhain is no longer available and very good gear, so the price will only increase along with the demand for them from collectors in the future. So if you'd like better gear you could sell it off to a collector for a lot, and if you want more gear go for it with the extra gold but if not you could always buy sigils from players who open Event Chests.

I'm a bit confused.
You are thinking of starting a new and highly sigiled character and can't figure out which class benefits most from sigils? Or you have five toons and can't decide which to pimp out?

And I'm not sure that a straight 1200/600 sigils (or 600/1200) is the way to go. Not sure my rogue would know what to do with 600 e sigs. She's only 163, so still kinda low, but I think her entire mana pool is <600.

Similarly, my druid could eat 1800 energy sigils and still need much more regen, but her touch heals 1.6k, so 600 hp sigils on her is kinda pointless.

As for the lux, it depends on what class you want to play. I love the samhain ammy and the (whatever you call it) samhain haste ring with the poison damage on my rogue. I've tried them on my druid and mage and they are certainly NOT worth the money for a caster. However, I do like my new Yule focus ammy very much for the casters.

I do agree that getting the samhain lux (if you can get it affordably) might be a good option for investment purposes. Other than illegally selling your account, you can't resell the sigils, they are a permanent investment in that toon.

I'd say, decide what class you want to play first and then decide how to spend the plat.

@T-Rhexx: tyvm for the quick response and i see your reasoning behind your answer and see it as a very wise choice.

@keridwyn: i play all classes, but cannot decide which to pimp out. Atm i am playing a ranger the most and find it rather enjoyable. So i guess getting my ranger pimped out.

Well i do want to get elixers, with leftover plat and any extra plat i attain i would. But my main focus is getting proper gear for my classes so i can make leveling easier. Plus, i can afford lixes with gold, but not the sigils or the lux

While energy sigs are way more important on Druids than hp I find some hp to be extremely useful. While I heal 1400 at 150 I don't always have time to waste heals on myself. When leveling it is far more convenient to buff or heal others rather than myself. Or if I am running thru an area it really helps. Same is true on my ranger even though light heal is maxed - it helps a lot when I am running around with bola on mobs or boss.

Best choice of plats usage is to buy chests, sell them and use the gold to buy lix and sigils. You get way more in that way.

Druids and mages need greater than 2k energy sigils to be doable so that eliminates choices A. and B. Choices C. D. and E. are all the same and should work out fine generally. Choice F is also a great option.

I still say chests, could get fashion, mounts, sigils, elixs, etc. most of which you can sell and buy good lux or sigils from players anyways.
