If you're medium armor, you should check out dargun's tombs. The "slayer" medium armor set is phenomenal. I just have three rare pieces and i'm sitting on like 10% melee damage and 6% melee accuracy just from that gear alone (vs level 35). There are heroic slayer bp and legs that drop somewhere in there as well.
Also, the weapon I got from the dargun's tomb weapon chain (2h martial staff) has a crazy damage range and has another 4.5% melee damage and +100 hp. Basically I'm chain hitting for 2k because my crit rate is through the roof (disciple damage stance gives 10% crit) so I spend most of my time doing my 3 part finisher chain. If you're interested in doing that weapon chain, check out the guide in the silkyvenom vanguard wiki.
Silky Venom (scroll down to weapon quest).
The only problem is that my insane damage coupled with healing hate means that virtually nobody can hold aggro above me if i feel like going all out. Fortunately I farmed nishek (in tk6) for two weeks to get a martial sword with 18% parry vs lvl 35 which i switch to when getting attacked (along with my defensive stance which gives some more evasion and spell mitigation). Yeah I know the spires keep martial sword is better and it's my next stop. Heh.
Of course none of this would be possible if I didn't spend 90% of my time with xp off. I recommend using the xp off buff--drop rates and quest times weren't designed with the current leveling speed in mind and if you slow down you can get a feel for what the game was supposed to be like. When you hit up 2-3 dungeons in each level ranges it really makes the world seem more epic and gets you a ton of kickass gear.
