What is so bad about LA?

the 3 vit arcane build and LA have the same mag

Just LA has higher crit rate, more defense, and possibly more HP due the shards and refines.

So tell me what is wrong with it?

LA:
3 mag 1 dex 1 str every level

Vit arcane:
3 mag 2 vit
3 mag 1 str 1 vit
Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    Not that it is bad per-say, but it is mostly based on opinion. I personally believe it is not a viable end-game build.

    Actually no, the buildups doesn't have the same magic.

    Athough on levels below 30 the difference is minimum, the gap between Arcane an Light Armored clerics becomes wider on higher levels.

    For example, on level 69 the ranking of each build will be :

    1st place : Full Mag Arcane Robes with 309 Mag
    2nd place : 1-Vit Arcane Robes with 275 Mag
    3rd place : 2-Vit Arcane Robes with 241 Mag
    4th place : Full Mag Light Armor with 125 Mag

    As you can see, Arcane buildups have magic than the Light Armor buildup.

    I you wanna see each build's progression during the game, Check my Cleric Build-up Charts where you can have an overall impression of how each build behaves every time you level up.
    Sliding we go, only fear on our side. To the edge of the wire and we rush with the tide.

    Hmm lemme think......

    Hyrbid: 3vit, 1str and 6mag per two lvls
    LA: 2str, 2dex and 6mag per two lvls

    Yup they seem to be equal when it comes to mag..

    only LA has more crit and more pdef, and you will get plenty of HP from shards. Its not like you guys are wizards and have a choice between pure and LA.

    Basically its vit and LA, why not get the extra crit %.


    Then again magic hurts more so you might want to use robes but with the LA build you can use robes(might be a bit expensive keeping 2 pairs of armors though)

    Check out the charts I made and you'll see those patterns are not always correct. Perhaps in the low levels they'll have similar mag, but on higher levels you'll find you won't be able to use certain equipments cause either you'll be low on Mag, Str or Dex.

    Isnt that 215 at least from the LA cleric at level 69? Might be more for full mag LA.

    Agreed. Physical mobs aren't a problem even with Arcane.
    Just remembered me on a quest today. Needed to get 15 items of Hooded Adalwolves (Lv. 75 Melee's north of Dreamweaver Port). Another Cleric was next to me (Arcane too, like me) and he was using Plume Shell at every new mob. I just thought *what a waste of mp*, and i was right. He needed to meditate all 5 minutes. Just use Ironheart instead Plume Shell..These stuff is for PK/PVP/etc.

    I went with 213 mag at level 70 just to be able to wear TT70 wand... and I got 22 vit.

    I double check the charts I made and the results are the same. At level 69 a Full Mag Arcane Cleric will have about 100 more points into Mag than the Full Mag LA cleric of the same level.
    nope i just think a 3 vit build is the best and i started thinking about why not LA?

    Today I made the chart to the 3-Vit build (check my Cleric Buildup Charts to look at 'em) and I came to an interesting consluion:

    At level 69 a 3-Vit Cleric will have 207 points on Mag, while a Full Mag LA Cleric will have 215. This means if you follow the 3 Vit, 1 Str, 6 Mag every two levels there will be some times where you won't be able to use some equipment when you reach that level, or wont be able to use some equipment at all if the gap keeps growing every time you level up.

    Also means a hybrid cleric will do damage for about 2 levels below a Light Armored cleric of his same level. However, a LA cleric only has 5 on Vit while the Hybrid will have 107, wich is 34 more points on Vit compared to the 2-Vit Arcane build.

    LA gets its HP from sharding and refinement

    you need 3 mag per level to wear up to date magic weapon. 3 vit build has 3 mag per level there should be no problem.

    You screwed up somewhere man.

    LA is about sacrificing damage for survivbility
    a dead cleric cant heal or DD can they?

    ya compared to a 1-2 vit build LA bites but isnt 3 vit the best choice and if you willing to add 3 vit every two levels why not go LA and get some more pdef/crit

    And I see how he's **** up. o.o

    He's not using the LA Build (3/1/1). He's trying to make up his own build where the amount of mag is the "highest" for a given level. Unfortunately, he can't use it to draw comparisons because no one uses it. It has other problems. According to his calcs, he needs 8 points at level 70 to use TT70 gear.... not going to work.

    Frijolero, seriously, use the real LA build. Not this made up "Full Mag LA" build.

    Edit: I just looked at the rest of his charts. It doesn't look like he's using the builds in his charts. I don't know what he's trying to prove, but it's invalid because he's not following the proper builds.

    Do you have some points unallocated? cause im doing the math and your total adds up to 364, you're missing a point. You should have 365 ont level 70. And you were right, I made a mistake, Should say 215 and not 125.

    I haven't made the list from lvl 70+ equipment, so the 215 on level 69 is by using the current data I have. As soon as I get the rest I'm pretty sure I'll have to redistribute the points on those levels to match the requirements of the remaining equipment
    And I see how he's **** up. o.o

    He's not using the LA Build (3/1/1). He's trying to make up his own build where the amount of mag is the "highest" for a given level. Unfortunately, he can't use it to draw comparisons because no one uses it. It has other problems. According to his calcs, he needs 8 points at level 70 to use TT70 gear.... not going to work.

    Still can be done cause the amount of points are the same, also there's no sustancial difference because you're gonna need to reach the same stats if you wanna use the equipment of that level.

    The only difference is how the points are beign allocated, the 'normal' way follows a fixed method while mine does it dinamcially allocating points only when needed.

    I'm not using TT or Legendary equipment on makin' the charts cause I don't havce access to them yet. I'm only using the equipment you can purchase or manufacture from the taylor and Blacksmith.If you have any TT or Legendary equipment, I'll aprreciate if you send me the info or them (name, level and stat requirement) and I'll add 'em to the charts to make' em more accurate.
    Edit: I just looked at the rest of his charts. It doesn't look like he's using the builds in his charts. I don't know what he's trying to prove, but it's invalid because he's not following the proper builds.

    The charts are following the builds, but not strictly. As I said on the thread, I'm allocating the points to enable all weapons and armors once you reach the level to unlock it.

    a dead cleric cant heal or DD can they?

    ya compared to a 1-2 vit build LA bites but isnt 3 vit the best choice and if you willing to add 3 vit every two levels why not go LA and get some more pdef/crit

    Shards and refining can be done by anyone to fix the build's flaw. They are common to all builds and because of that shards and refining are relevant and can be taken out from the equation.

    If you wanna do an exact comparison of each build, you need to focus on the characteristics that are unique or critical for each build, that is, weapon, armor and Stat point distribution. Anything else is relevant.

    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze
