Hey my build is a Warlock/Cleric build. Yeah dont go telling me that im going to die alot and what not, i dont really care cause i just wanna be a fun build that i like for myself.
Anyways, i want to know which armor should i wear,
robe or light armor?
from this guide:
http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic ... highlight=
(56K WARNING!)
and they said you should wear robe, the cleric buffs power both robe and light armor but im more leaning towards light armor.
Which one you think i should get?

If you believe you have the defense to survive with robes, use em. If not, use light armor

If it was me i would use robe mainly because it looks kooler, but its up to you.

I was never a fan of light armor >.>

but doesnt light armour helps u buff others more powerfully? and u gain extra phy and mag def with light armour, due to the passives of glory armour?
correct me if i m wrong, but i think light armour is better.

Actually, robe helps to heal more (look at the description of Faith)

IMO, if you can heal better, you can survive better (results may vary), and the light armor looks craaaappy

BOTH Faith & Glory/Favour Armour requires cleric rod...that means if he is gonna use warlock skill to grind, Faith or Glory armour will not even have effect on his warlock/cleric...

oh,.... i get it now...

but when he wants to buff others and hold on to his cleric rod for the str and int buffs on people, i m sure light armour helps then? o.0?

no no no. im looking for the gear that will best help me survive, because the only time i will be in cleric is buffs and basicaly use the offering move.

A warlock which is wearing light armo would look very cool.

Robe if you're a male char.
Light Armor if you're a female char.

8d male light armor looks like shit
8d female light armor is teh sexy

of course youve got to look good while killing.

then go Light Armour.

But it really depends on your playing style, if you like to solo all the time, go for Light, if in a party it is better to have Robe though because you will save more MP and chances are that there will be a couple of guys to tank for you.

i still think that light armour is better..... i m not sure how much the passive mag defence goes when high lvl, but i m sure it will cover up quite abit of mag defence. and still, even more in phy def due to passive too.

The benefits is so much more compared to robes actually.... and i think when u are full int cleric, think there is little chances for u to actually run out of mp, as long u pot at the correct %, think the problem will not be that significant.
