A sword nuker could always wear garment to grind. The shield compensates for physical defense lost by not wearing armor/protector. The 20% mp reduction also keeps a nuker out longer, and the speed increase is a plus.

Another ques and correct me if I'm wrong...

Garment: Best when dealing with pure int
Armor: Best when dealing with pure str but uses imbue during atk

Are these two correct?

Its like, str adds psy def, and int adds mag def. So if you are int and wear garment you have a very low psy def, and likewise. In order to balance that its like:

Armor / Protector for int

Garment for str

I'm heavy int hybrid using spear, so....is wearing armor better when let's say dealing with those pure str player? I'm actually quite confuse with the skills actually... are the bicheon, heuksal and pacheon considered physical atk even though you cast imbue first before launching those skills

Yes the bicheon, heuskal and pacheon skills are all patk even though your imbue adds matk to it. Well a armor would certainly help vs pure str, it'll lower dmg a bit from them since most of their dmg comes from physical attacks.

Less mp usage + faster exp due to faster movement > hp loss

With s/s int go protector and in higher levels maybe garms. Remember that all chinese characters use magical attacks unless they dont use imbune for some retarded reason.

For all str builds choose garms.

1; Garment
2; Armor
3; Garment

It's simple as that. :D
Just one rule: don't grind on mobs which attacks your 'weaker' side than it's necessary (let's say for a quest).
e.g: I'm grinding on taoists which have magic attacks. I'm pure STR so it kicks my ass heavily. It might be better for me to grind on Hyeongcheons (headless stone ppl with PHY attack), but I do it 'cause of the quests.

Sometimes, it depends on how much money you have. Assuming you're rich, go Garment for all three builds. Period. Assuming you're poor or have just started anew in the game, go:

1) Garment
2) Protector
3) Garment

There is also the matter of appearance, of which one do you think looks better. However, I believe the above selections are the best, stat-wise.
