HH90 Green Light Armor vs. R9 Armor

Ankao - Lost City

There's been some new updates lately. So what I'm wondering is this. Is the light armor build still the best way to go for a wiz? I mean with the new rank armor out is I'm wondering whether in the endgame light armor is still the best way to go. Does the new R8-R9 arcane armor seem better? Or is the LA build still the best for wizards on pvp servers?

Been a long time since I've played a wiz. Was way back when. So I guess as it turns out full mag best way to go. Just got one more question what's the best wiz guide in the forum? Oh yeah ty for other answer.

none of the guides even resemble current, so you can't really follow any of them tbh. LA is ****, HH90 is ****.. the game has become basically r9 or gtfo.

Wizard guide in a nutshell:

9 mag 1 str every 2 levels for pure arcane.
Weapon: Always Current.
Armor: NPC/Molds until 90.
Armor at 90: TT90green/r6->99gold/r8->r9 OR 90->95 Lunar Glade->Nirvana
Ornaments: Physical Defense, i.e Sky Demons Pearl/Anger of the Beast Soul->Cube Neck/Warsong Belt
Cape: Glorious Robe: Torment or Cloudcharger. (More defense)
Shards: Citrines until 90 then garnets.
Refines: at least +3 at 90. its super easy with mirages. at least +4 with r8/tt99. Farm the rest by soloing TT.

LA nerfs your DD power too much and when you have more p defense than an archer could dream of with AA and similar refines then you shouldn't worry.

Objectives: Win FC, Win Delta, Win TW, Win one shotting, Win pwi.

And ignore the aps craze. pwi pve was easy before fish, its easy without fish.

From where did you get this information? End game mage must be ALWAYS AA not LA.

For sharding- are you serious? If anything you got it reverse, if it could even be argued that garnetts are better than citrines ever.

Refines- farm the rest by soloing TT??? Are you kidding? First of all, if you're a wizard and able to solo TT, gear isn't your problem. Second of all repairs, replacing charm, and crab meat/mp food will cost nearly as much, if not more than, any drops you get.

Ignore the aps craze?? Like we somehow have a choice??
And yes PvE was easy before fish, but now that we have bloodpaint it's brain-dead easy.
edit: by we I meant PWI as a whole. I'm aware that wizards cant use bloodpaint...

Just to add: it sucks for any mage class.

Criticising garnets is like demon aps'ers ignoring stuns, seals, kiting, etc in their dps calculations using demon spark. There are more variables than what you're looking at. I wouldn't shard anything garnet or citrine for end game gears.

Craze is appropriate word behind aps. Even the melee aps'ers are coming around to realizing how foolish some of them are: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1147621

Every class in this game appears to me to have it's own advantage at some form of DD (I consider all classes to be DDs as well as tanks).
