I am not a huge fan of the weapon, but there really is not that many better choices.
So i will say though when mechagon comes out, a few pieces here could prob be replaced.
I have the mech look on my gnome, and use the same helm, and basic armor, but i think you could replace a few odds and ends.
I would say check out this belt, matches the brown of the set, and has abit more 3d.
Or ditch the belt, going for the belt that is BUILT INTO your chestplate, chooseing to get some little bags for all your engineering goods.
