Compare and Contrast of Black Ice Armor for Control Wizards

I was really unsure of which black ice set to go for, they both have some nice stats in different areas. Purified was noticeably tankier, but how much so? Corrupted was noticeable stronger, but again, how much? Well, I took the time to compare them all to my usual PvE armor (yes i know it is mainly for PvP, but the amount of different PvP armors and variety that people use would make this very difficult to judge. So i stuck to a pretty orthodox build for a PvE wizard. If you want to compare it to a PvP, Oppressors is very similar to High Vizier's.

If any pictures are too small, just right click them and open image in new tab. They get bigger :)

Here's my gear:

I use 3 Dark Enchantments Rank 7's in offense slots and Radiant Rank 7's in all the rest of the slots

This is also without campfire buff

    The math should all be fairly accurate, I looked it over a bunch. If there's a mistake I apologize.

    PURIFIED

    Just remember that the purified/corrupted black ice gear you see in collections doesn't show fully empowered stats , only the tier 2 stats , tier 3 stats are even better .
