Boots advice

[shevek]

So I need some boots advice.

I'm a high elf ranger, clvl 26 dlvl 35, I have a choice between boots of speed + 1 and boots of stability. I have no other sources of nexus resist or speed. Any thoughts?

It depends. The speed boots are effectively a +10% damage at normal speed, and help you carry a little extra weight without being slowed. They are otherwise tactically useless.

If you don't have Nexus resist, and your stats aren't maxed and your saving throw is low, or close to it, Nexus resist is probably better. (Stat swapping can be game-ending.)

Makes sense, maybe I'll stash the boots of speed and wear stability for now.
