Bump because this thread is so helpful and a quick clarification for me.
So, as I understand it, with the exception of +% to melee speed, all dragonsworn and enhanced armor for level 39 players can be OC'd to 34.5/29.0 points and use the 5th slot bonus? Or does the size of the gem play a bigger part than just the points alone?
35.0 for pieces with +40 hits or hits cap.
33.0 for Legendary weapons.
Note the point-zero, it's important.
Note also that this is not a matter of "using the 5th slot bonus". If you charge beyond this limit, not only do you not get the fifth slot bonus, you don't get ANY of what you SC'd into the piece.
The size of the gem will only matter down toward thid level.
It's possible to make it matter in the level 25-29 BG (I think), but it takes some work.
