I have two choices involving badge rewards and haste which are painstakingly close....
Skulker's Greaves vs.
Shallow-Grave Trousers &
Netherblade Gloves vs.
Trickster's Stickyfingers Shadowpanter has the Skulker's Greaves a bit ahead and they provide more gemming options, but no haste... and I am 19/42 combat swords so it would help with combat potency procs..
Shadowpanter also has the Stickyfingers as a decent upgrade, but i would lose the 2 piece T4 set bonus by replacing the Netherblade Gloves with the Stickyfingers..and therefore my 1s/5r cycle
These are fairly close elitist jerk spreadsheets as well, but I dont fully trust them either...
Any help or opinons would be greatly appreciated as a nethercobra let armor, 140 badges, and some rare gems are burning a hole in my bank atm..
p.s. biohacker....there are no sockets in the haste gear (see links above), so the badge rewards require supporting gear that can hold up your hit rating, which is why I had to bank 140 badges until my other gear could theoretically support the haste badge items through the loss of hit..
edit: Added p.s.
