    Light armor is the only type of mage that's good at PVP. Check my stickied guide above this thread for details. Skills bible is the second post in that thread.

    pandora's guide is good, has some good ideas. But there is no absolute truth in this game.

    From my experience on Lost City here's my consensus:

    Pure - Do serious damage to mobs/players (more than LA) @ higher levels. However, you get one-shotted often and are EXTREMELY squishy to physical attacks.

    Light Armor - At the cost of magic power you gain a much better physical defense. Unlike Pure builds your not as weak to Physical attacks however, you're now weaker to Magical ones. A Pure of equal level will most likely kick your butt in a duel or PvP (if no buffs, no potions, etc... are used).


    BTW.... neither form of MG gets really "good" until lvl.70+. You better get use to dying because it's gonna be your best friend as a MG through any level lower than that. Don't quit, keep at it, form your own opinion about what you want to do, and once you hit lvl. 70+ it starts paying off. I'm friends with a LVL 100 MG from the Conquerors (he's a pure) and he can practically **** everything. ^^.

    P.S. I've been both Pure and LA. I find that I like LA build best, beyond the bad rap it gets. It took me forever to decide but I think that it will truly benefit me in the end. You gotta stick with what YOU feel is right and not listen to other peoples "expert" opinions (especially if they're not a MG at all). Good luck in your adventures

    I too have been both pure and LA aswell, honestly...LA is way better if you like pvping, and still rocks for pve. I', only lvl40, but thats my thoughts from what i have experienced.

    It all depends on what you want to do in PK....

    1. If you wanna be the world chat spammer who flames everyone, thinks your superior to everyone, and loves atention(aka RQ wizards) go light armor. You'll need all the defense you can get.

    2. If your satisfied with a supporting role in PvP battles and TW and would rather let someone else take the damage for you while you one shot everyone while their backs are turned, go robe.

    I can't stand the world chat newbs who try to make up for a short youknowwhat in RL by shoving their "superiority" in everyone's faces. It always ends in failure(I repeat, ALWAYS!!) so I'd suggest option 2.

    Examples of option 1: Pandora, Brendle, Deity(I know, not wizards but the principle still applies).

    ^All failures, only friends are people riding on their backs trying to get a piece of the WC "fame"

    I'm a robed Wizzy with no teleacoustics and no bragging rights. And I'm happy that wayb:thanks

    Well looking back, I did leave out a kind of 3rd group there. I meant no offense to Light Armor users as a whole, its just my own experience that LA wizards tend to be the ones who random pk in quest areas on people 20+ levels below them and then brag about how many people they've pked. Maybe I'm wrong, but from all the evidence I've seen so far, that theory is correct in most cases.

    My basic point is, if you want to fight on the front lines, take a few punchs and throw some back, be LA. But if you want to be a support class and hide behind the front lines and throw fireballs at anyone dumb enough to come within range of you, go robes. To me, wizards are meant to use robes and if you want light armor be an archer. But that may be just me....

    well i personally was thinking about going LA. but i didnt because i kept on thinking about when i reach higher lvls. What really changed my mind is when i do a TW last week. This week i was paired with the leader of the faction and most of the high levels. Aparently im good enough to be on the team so im staying pure. I also like it when people go "miz can you help me with...."
    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
