ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Ok not sure how complex a question this could end up being.. or might be simple..
Basically I`m looking to pick your brains, on those who have played Bulwarks before.

Can you name any specific gear (I`m thinking artifacts.. as they don't change .. always the same ego`s etc on them). .. that you would say are VERY good or BEST even to have for a
Bulwark.

Basically almost looking for a list of "Best in slot" for gear slot for Bulwark.
Especially Weapon or Shield. But armor related too .. Basically any Artifact you feel would be "Best in Slot" if you will ..

Bulwarks are quite a generalist class as far as equipment goes, so I can't give some real advice about weapons, shields or armour. Not that I would be experienced enough as well ...

However, there is one item that IMHO deserves mention not only for Bulwarks, but for any fighter-ish class, and doubly so for any class that can't rely on supporting spells - and that would be the Ring of the War Master. This nice little item grants +0.30 mastery to any and all Combat and Technique categories, and by that it can increase the efficiency (damage, defense, cooldown reduction ...) of affected talents by as much as 25%.
This depends on how particular talents scale with their level in general (for example, Assault won't be affected much and Step Up won't be affected at all), and it's tier 5, so you can't expect to find until fairly late in the game, (if at all), but IMHO this is a ring definitely worth consideration.
