    HA always. bonuses are your choice. if your a fist build you will need some vit and str. if your pure axe (hope you arent pure axe....... multipathing b:victory) you would need a bit of vit over str

    http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi....its your friend

    also lvl 4 isnt impossible I have lvl 6 tailor 60% through lvl 6 craftsman 20% through lvl 6 blacksmith ..... farming glaze is a pain

    Go HA till you're lvl 100 and switch to combo of LA and HA. This combination will depend on what accessories you have and what you want to achieve as a BM. End game BMs get one/two shotted by rank 8 magic casters when they lack mdef so i'm hoping by now you are equiping yourself with elemental accessories as well as a combo of LA and HA gears. And don't worry, you still have enough pdef to go toe to toe against other melees.

    BMs only mix LA for the tt99 -interval bonus.
    Elemental ornaments or sharding with sapphires, combined with marrows, mdef charms and genie trickery gives sufficient mdef / survivability against being nuked.

    who told u that BMs only mix LA TT99 for intervals? any set of TT 99 gears/ornaments gives you the -.5 interval. LIke i said BMs at end game need more mdef so adding any elemental ornaments and LA gears with refines to boost elemental defense is always ideal. Also, you might want to compare LA vs HA 99 gears and get the one that will better serve your purpose PVE/PVP.

    There is a 2 piece set bonus for both TT99 HA and LA, so if you have 2 pieces of each, you get an addtional -.1 interval.

    Refining LA does not give you extra elemental defense. Refining armor only gives you HP. You need to get the highest grade elemental ornaments you can afford and refine them as much as you can for more mdef.

    TT90/99 elemental ornaments have arcane bonuses and a 2 piece bonus is channeling. TT90/99 LA ornaments refine for evasion. TT90/99 HA ornaments refine for pdef.

    If you want elemental protectoin you want either the TT90 Swindlers Necklace, Lunar neck or Cube neck. For belts, either the 4th map belt or Warsong Marshal's Badge.

    The TT99 ornaments are crappy enough that I don't see the lack of mdef for evasion or pdef to be worth the extra -.05 int, but some do.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    What he said.

    You're clearly clueless if you think LA on a BM is useful for resistances, you nerf yourself so much losing hp from refines etc its not worth it, from a survivability point of view, its purely for the interval.

    The 'endgame' Bm requires a good mix of mdef and hp, though sage/demon marrows make it so bm's can obtain 10k+ mdef without using a single sapphire shard and only using ornaments. Much over 10k and the % damage reduction lowers to the point its not worth stacking up sapphire shards to gain an extra 2% reduction (probably an exaggeration, ive not calculated it mathematically). Its like saying a barb should wear LA for the mixture of resistances.

    Face f'ing palm.

    Some very good BMs do use the LA, for the interval, and pretty much nothing else. from a DD PoV, having 4 hits / sec with fists (current unsparked max interval stacked up i think?) is kinda badass, but youre clearly too dense to appreciate the build and your class.

    Who told you refining armour adds resistances? If you think adding LA is beneficial for a BMs survivability, you fail. go oracle moar plz.

    The mix of HA/LA for intervall is gonna go away if you choose Nirvana for end gear I guess. And at this point nobody knows what "Shadow of Nirvana" gives you...

    So at this point I am holding back a bit until I know if there is any interval in the "Shadow of Nirvana" bonuses.. I hope it is in there somewhere, maybe -0.20 b:thanks

    I was lucky enough not to be lvl 100 when Nirvana came out and I really feel sorry for all that had refined to +10/12 with 4 socket +10 vits tones in their TT gear, just to learn it will go away when converting to Nirvana. b:shocked
