End-game PvP Veno: Vitality build + physical damage reduction?

bobbeh

There's alot of backlash on the effectiveness of Robe-based veno in PK, but is it really THAT bad?

If I'm not mistaken, with the best gears available a robe veno can hit 30% physical damage reduction (This is from the attributes on the gears not physical defense). Because with the high physical damage reduction, the effectiveness of defense decreases but HP on the otherhand increases. Imagine sharding the arcane robes with +HP instead of making it up with +DEF. You'll have a veno with an HP pool higher than a BM, high magic defense and good physical damage reduction.

Of course, getting a Triple - +2 physical damage reduction, or the higher end old equipments aren't easy, but if you could afford it, would Vitality-based veno be the way to go?

Vitality + mixing HP and pdef shard will result in a fairly good Pk veno, Id know thats my build >_>; Your TT90 arcane gear is all about pdef/+%dmg reduction, vit, and hp. The optimal choice is to mix in garnets and citrines, and of course + vit/mag gears, have a high base magic, and have a nicely refined weapon.

these in turn with a good pet and some PVP practice should lead to a killing machine

LOL. I totallly screwed up my stats. I was going for Arcane so then I pumped my stats into vit (now I have 91 on it) and then I decided to go light so I pumped stats into strength/dex and now I'm not sure what to do b:cry

get restat scrolls and try to reset the unwanted stats from it nd put more into mag....if ur goin for a full robe build, then take all points from ur dex and put it in to ur mag. (put str if u need more to equip ur latest equipment). also i would suggest reducing ur vit to like 50-60 and puttin the remainin to mag as it will improve ur magic atk greatly. but if u want to hav more hp, then i guess its ok to keep all tht vit b:victory

But I still haven't decided on a build yet. I met a lvl 72 wiz with 9.6k mana and she hit like CRAZY.
