So recently i have been looking for sos items-garment- and have had a hard time finding 4th deg. merchandise. However, when i am looking around, i see protector everywhere, and sos. Would it be wise to switch, and use protector?

My build = Normal garment
Pure str.
Bower

Thankyou

well it wouldnt hurt prot isnt bad...if it is easyest to find in my opinion i would buy...but prot 4degree is realy ugly

if the garments you find that are sos and they dont suite you just buy some +3's or with plusses ....

but if u can find at all just try to buy som prot. with ints or strs ...... ur pure str and u really need garment

at the end its all up to u =]

This is how I see it, if you're pure str, you should have the fire tree. A buff in that gives you magic defence. If you use protector you get extra defence, so you don't need cold. Saving your total /300 mastery limit leaving room for more masteries at higher caps. And the moderate magic defence with protector plus the buff will make your magic defence good enough.

Pure STR bow -> protector.

Ya, I might go with protector, but I think I will just start looking for 5th and 6th deg. garment, i have seen those around, and i can always put a few +'s on some stuff if needed

Pure STR garm you've already got a high physical defense.

Really depends on your level, but for the most part no, it would be a bad idea

well....it seems that garment SHOULD be more suitable, but I like to use protector. Skills take a 10% decrease in required MP.

And a 20% decrease with garments, which is a + for str builds cause of their small amount of mp. Lets you carry a few less MP pots.

I think you will get torn apart by ints in anything other than garment, but if your only focusing on PvE for the moment, it really dosnt matter much.

Save the money your gonna spend on a sos set and get a good weapon.

I know that garment takes a 20% decrease, but garment also has low physical defence, and since you're PvE....I think, most monsters do physical attacks...

how abt armour? for the phy reinforce. besides, archer dun need to run much ... move a little and shoot ...

i would personally go with protector or garment. garment more ... especially for training.

Ya, for right now I am focusing on PvE, until the higher 40's I will start doing all the PvP, and money is not an issue, just finding it, and when I do, sometimes its too high, or they just want bids, but luckly I found some yesterday. I think im going with garment for now, and I think I have been seeing some good 24 SOS bows, but any clue what they should roughly cost?? I saw a few for around 4 mil, but nothing good on them.
