Hybrid Spear on Defence Equips.

Post by nightcrystal »

hi guys... i've search the whole forum for some answers but yet i couldn't find a convincing 1. So i take a decision to just ask it here since the euro is coming and im 70+ level yet had not made a decision on the defence items.

My question is would it be good to use prot for the extra def than garments? My argue for using garments was, mana shield is coming in the lv80 skill cap therefore wearing garms will still make me survive from a full str user and able to tank nukes from int's as well. However, is mana shield dat reliable until i can abandon prot in the extra def? I favor garms myself for the 20% speed buff and mana usage (mana shield will suck all my mp :cry: )

As for mana shield, i might get only 40% (lv60 cold) and max out fire, heu, light. Izzit wise to that? or i might jus swap the fire and cold mastery lv making mana shield at 50% thus more phy def buff from cold book 3 but less mdef from fire buff. If i had 50% mana shield im safe to go for garms since the extra pdef? or a 40% is safe enough in garms? i need some advise since i'm having a hard time deciding. Thx a lot in advance and sorry for the long read ^^ And btw, im a 85% magic balance hybrid. Im gonna prepare for the 8th 3rd set equips and pimp them so b4 i do i need some help here.. I've got no money to pimp both prot and garms :cry: :cry:

I think 40% mana shield is fine, it's best to have heuskal/fire/light at 80 and keep cold at 60. As for whether to use prot or garment it's up to you really, with the mana shield I think you should be able to use garments and still do well against str builds. Just look at Embodiment, with the current skills he uses garms and still does well against pure str.

Maybe if you know someone with a prot set you can ask them to lend it to you for you to experiment with, see which you like better.
