Offense and defense slot enchantments.

Before I go Spending a bunch of ad on enchants on a new cw what do most use for offense and defense slots.

Thanks.

Get lifesteal to 10%. Because you do constant damage and you are squishy, by default.
Get Crit to 35% or better. Just because.
The rest totally depends on what gear you are running. Def should be about 2k. ArPen should be whatever gets you to 24% ignored. Some deflect is good, but at 50% sev, I don't worry about it too much with good Lifesteal.

And these numbers change depending on whether pve or pvp.. drastically.

Just my opinion with too little input and rushed at that.

Once you have minimums, it's all power..

Someone will come along shortly and give much more/better info than I did.. but this might help in the meantime.

its for pve and I guess I should not really worry about it until I get t2 set tty for info. I suppose dark for offense and azure for defense.

For PvE there is no benefit to using more Arpen than is needed for 24%. Lifesteal 10% or better is your best defense in my opinion. Because you are doing constant damage, which means you have a constant heal on you. My primary mage has 14% and rarely needs a heal. I'm not even worrying about getting t2 for the moment, because he outdoes my older mage who is already wearing t2's.

what set are u using the power and recovery set or recovery and crit

chaoscourtesan

He's using two fatebender pieces, and two focal magi. Full sets can be substandard if you don't have the HV.. Oh and he's using the CN weapns set.

Basically he's got 6.5K power, 2.1 crit, 2.2 Arpen, 2.6 rec, 1.2 def, 800 defl, 633 regen, and 1.9 lifest.

These stats are modest but well distributed. There are much better out there, but if you have these stats and have troubles, then there is something wrong in feats, or your rotation needs work.. this is pretty much easy mode. (When I say you, I mean anyone, not talking about YOU.)

(My older CW has MUCH better stats, and does MUCH less dps.)

Ehh 1.9k Life Steal is probably too high. Cut that down to 1.5k or so and put the rest in Defense or HP.

I get what you are saying, but it isn't broken, so it doesn't need fixed. If I were having survivability issues, I might do something like that.
