need help with equipment decisions

[Section8]

Sorry This is kinda Long
==================

Ok i'm a lvl 52 wr and right now all my gear is the best i can possibly buy cruor all 3 sockets and g6 stones and + 1,2 ect and now its time to upgrade again and noticed to my disbelief that i can not even give this stuff away spent almost 1m or more on each piece can't even sell it for 200k lol and i don't want to make this mistake again spend way to much time collecting mats to sell as is. So my question is i have a few pieces of newer gear to wear. But before i go blowing money on soulstones and mirages to upgrade i want a quick opinion on what pieces i should keep and upgrade and why. Heres a couple examples. From what popular opinion here i should be able to figure out the rest of my gear.

☆☆MythRealm Hefty Casque (2Socket)
Heavy Casque
Grade Rank 7
HP Value +140
Durability Upper Limit 132/132
Level Requirement: 51
Strength Requirement 80
------------------------
HP Value +60
Constitution +2
------------------------
Price: 7470 / 14940

Hidden secret power in the heavy helmet.
Mission reward:Unable to upgrade


===============OR===============


☆Pneuma Naturalism's Casque (1Socket)
Heavy Casque
Grade Rank 7
HP Value +130
Durability Upper Limit 120/120
Level Requirement: 51
Strength Requirement 80
------------------------
Physical Defense +94
Constitution +3
Dodge Rate +46
------------------------
Price: 6430

Here's How i see it
I personally prefer the ☆Pneuma Naturalism's Casque (1Socket)
to upgrade I lose 1 ☆ and 1Socket compared to the
☆☆MythRealm Hefty Casque (2Socket) the ☆ can be made up, if i'm correct stars only increase the white attributes in this case the HP and Durability just like a mirage stone so +1 mirage will take care of that. As for the sockets yes this one only has 1 socket it will be filled in with a Fiery-Red Soulstone Grade 6 Def +33 I could use a G7 Def +41 but i think ill start using G7 up when i get molds because i'm not nearly rich enough to do that yet on something that probably wont sell afterwards. if I put 2 G6 on the ☆☆MythRealm that would be def +66 still not nearly as high as what the ☆Pneuma has as a bonus stat of Physical Defense +94 and Dodge Rate +46 so this is like having 4 G6 soulstones just in the bonus stats on the ☆Pneuma alone plus I still have 1Socket left =) also the Constition bonus is higher also.

It's Pretty clear in my opinion the normal everyday ☆Pneuma Naturalism's Casque (1Socket) is like 4 times better then the mission reward ☆☆MythRealm Hefty Casque (2Socket) could ever be even if i filled it with G7 soulstones. but i know that one will not sell either the ☆☆MythRealm i bet would why because people are love struck by the sight of stars and sockets the rest of the stats don't seem to make much diff to anybody lol only thing I am unsure of on the ☆☆MythRealm is the Hidden secret power in the heavy helmet. at the bottom is there really some extra thing it does like a occasional hp regen or something?

I prefere the ☆The Cruor's Tasses (1Sockets) +1 once again the bonuses it comes with is more then i could do with all the sockets in the world on the other one if had filled all 3 sockets with fiery-red stones it would be Def +99
this comes with a bonus of Def +139 plus a Dodge Rate +30 So once again the gear with the lower amount of sockets and stars wins now I still wear the 3Socket pair usually for stupid reasons one it has a glitter effect like the rest of my armor lol the 1socket one wont shine =P. and also it is three socketed same with the rest of my Cruor armor so there kind of a set look kinda stupid for someone to check me and see 3 socketed everything except this one piece of gear with only 1socket it would seem out of place anyhow told you it was a stupid reason =). Any how any feed back on your ideas and if I'm judging my equipment right would be of great help I don't have alot of cash to spend so I want it spent right even if I got to save up a little while longer to get something better. I do know phy def is the most important for wr i dont care to much if one piece has +130 hp the other 140 or minor stuff like HP for that matter if that what it has fine rather see phy def, con, agil, str or something like that lol. I just want the best i can for my class. and to not throw all my money down the drain repeatedly as I have done up to this point especially since things are skyrocketing in price over the last few lvls.

make a tl;dr verison, cause, realistically, no one is gonna read that.

regarding the "Hidden secret power in the heavy helmet." i think its only a description so it is nothing actually.

i suggest u not spending much on every different lvl of armour/equipment, but if u insist then go on. but when u get higher lvl u get better armour then mayb spurge more on it. eg HH70++ armour,equipment

Section8, u should try using the WC or AH to promote ur goods. Ppl normally be check out on them. Hope I helped u. :D

well i feel that you should wait and use the money to a more productive use. such as [but not limited to] investing in you production skills. this way you dont have to waste time modding. i am lvl 40 as of current with lvl 4 blacksmith and tailor. you may think this is some what of a waste BUT i have made 4 star items so far that have been worth keeping. also on a side note i pretty much NEVER have to be stuck with 1 star x socket gear because most of the time when making your own equips its around 2 star. these types of items are the ones worth modding and WILL be worth something when it comes time to sell them. the best part how ever is when you can make your own molds and sell them W/ YOUR name on it. to me this is just a bonus on top of having top of the line gear.
