armor + fire buff has less mag and phy defense then garment + cold
and garment has also 20% speed and 20% less mana
all these skills are lvl 100-99-98 and the stuff is all 10degree
item info from rev6 (nivliam)

if you take a shield you have the same as full ice buf (without snow shield) and also alot of mag defense
if you have light lvl 100 you have almost double parry
so if you take light lvl 20 and wear garment you have already 40% more speed, more parry ratio as armor, and lil more % magic buf

Erh, so your advocating level 20 light over level 20 ice?

That was really hard to read but I got through it. So your point is simply garment + cold tromps an other combination? Assuming they are only taking one force tree. Well if I decide to make a dual weapon character I'll definitely consider taking cold + garms instead of fire + protector, which is what I would have done before knowing this.

You made one mistake and forgot about another fact.

-Mistake: Armor hand and legs are the same in your list, obviously a copy paste error.

-Fact: Defense takes into account reinforces. If you look at the reinforces, armor has higher physical reinforces than garment does. Same goes with garment having higher magical reinforces.

Nice observation though.
