So if you're going pure int Veno you're gonna have to stick to bad armor but with extreme ranged attack power and a tanker pet you'd only be killed if an aggro spawns at you, or you're being careless. What's your opinions? Which works better, an x int and min other stats for light armor or robes, or just pure int? Need to decide this before the OB starts.

Thanks in advance ;)

    i would go with pure. for PvE. in PvP this would be diffrent.
    if you pet is down you run anyway and you will be killed in few hits in light and arcane. the solution would be heavy but... heavy armor magic user? all of your skills will suffer incredible and remember that you NEED high magic not only for offensive spells (like wizard) but mainly to heal your pet. with heavy veno build you will spam pet heal cuz of how weak it'll be, so you will not fight anyway. heavy build HAVE some sense, but heavy can exist only as an experiment.

    Yeah I had a hard time deciding between the min str rest int build and the light armor build. I think I'll go for the int build though, since a lot of points that could be better used elsewhere will need to go in agi and str for light armor. Even though in my opinion, light armor looks way better than mage armor in the earlier levels, one of the reasons I wanted to make a light armor veno x3

    I also think i'll go for int built on pvp... i think light armor is kinda a waste and str build is no sense :S for a mage.

    Instead of adding to agi add it to vit, and you'll have much more hp but less def... you shouldn't die as easily as if you add only int and str.

    How's it with weapons then?

    Going PURE int you'd have only crappy weapons (am I right?). If that's the case, adding to the min reqs for the weps in other stats might give you better dmg?

    you put point in str when you need it for present weapon. i on 31 lvl needed like 19str for my wand.
