So you might know this is not my first thread, and i'm still learning on how to build up my wizard each day.

http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=a88bbceb35265932

This is exactly how i'm build atm. I've been having a hard time trading off my pdef for HP so i wouldn't drop to much HP for pdef. Unfortunatly i lost my tauran chieftains cape in PK otherwise i would have a little over 3K hp with 200 extra pdef. I've been looking around for a mold or two for necklace or belt but it seems as they are very hard to get at this level.

i'll be refining my armour to +3 coming two weeks or so, just to get my HP a bit more up. I want to try to get 1800 pdef unbuffed and i think i can make it with a bit better cape and ornaments.

Any advice for this build? Either i'll be saving up for an aquadash or i'll go all out on my gear. Don't know which would affect me the most favorable in the end.

    Right off the bat I see you're missing one of the biggest sources of mage p.def: refine-able ornaments.

    Get the tt80 belt of earth & make it +3, instantly you'll be sporting 1740-ish p.def unbuffed. Then at lv 82 you can find a 3* p.def necklace with +hp/p.def/vit adds & refine that as well.

    Ultimately it gets down to how big your budget is; If you have coins to spare I'd suggest going for frost 85 p.def belt (about 3mil on HT atm) and sky demon's pearl (lv 87 mold worth 33 chips & 770k coins ~roughly 2mil to buy straight up) or tt90 gold necklace (idk... something like 12mil atm, a nice veno can help you gather the mats though & this could be very affordable). Refining these to +4 is roughly the equivalent of having 4x2 g7 garnets in your gear, which means instead of using those valuable slots for garnets, you can stack HP shards.

    good luck & have fun. b:victory

    Sundown pendant (oht belt) +3

    3 socket cape with double hp mod (+70 +70 or similiar)

    Double hp or +2 crit rings (interchange based on PVE survivability focus or PVP dding\grinding\whatever)

    Use any old good 3* necklace with hp\pdef add ons until you can use sky demon pearl

    Rest of gear is fine

    Reduced magic attack is down to using 2 hp rings as opposed to the magic attack rings you gave yourself (lol at one giving +65 attack a stat btw)

    I was thinking about the 80 OHT sundown pendant actually. But i forgot that it could be refined where as my current one can't be refined. Without refines my current one gives more P.Def then the 80 belt.

    Sky demon's pearl is a mold that i will get once i hit 87, but i'm trying to get some P.def up right now because i pull too much aggro in rebirth lol.

    I'm not too shabby with coins, i'm not that bad at merchanting so i got enough coins too spare. I'm always looking at the auction house to get me som P.Def modified but those are hard to get in PvP server, or very very expensive. I don't think it's worth it if i'll be getting stuff i will be using for 1 TW only.

    but good to hear that only thing i need to do is get my ornaments up to date and i'm set on good balanced build :). ty all for the replies

    Sorry, but I see that you use Book with +1 crit. Is it essencial for your wizard ?
    I think, that it can be replaced with better one.
