hi i have just started a wizard and i really couldnt decide whether to be LA or Pure build so i decided why not try to be both what i mean by this is not to pile to much dex to be able to wear all light armor but enough to wear a few pieces such as LA vambs and boots or legs and have body and/or legs/helm as arcane therefore i will have more magic than LA builds and more def than Pure builds please give me your opinions about the build

    To be able to wear any light armor, your dex and str need to be your level +4, meaning 1 st and 1 dex every level. You can't put anything less than that. So you can't really use the LA build any differently than what it is.

    Also, if you can use a current magic weapon, you have enough strength and magic to wear arcane armor. So all LA wizards have your build.

    But here's an idea you might like (but which you probably will not like): you could build a tanking wizard. To hold aggro, a tanking wizard should spend 4.5 points every level on magic, and to hold a magical weapon, a tanking wizard should spend 0.5 points every level on strength!

    b:cute

    hmm 4.5 mag + 0.5 str = 9 mag + 1 str per 2 levels...now why does that sounds so familiar? b:puzzled o thats right its a full arcane wizard. which I am O.o'
    wait how come I can't tank with that build? b:angryb:cry
    lol but the hold aggro part is so true. xD I'm using a level 44 weapon -.-' and I still steal aggro. DX (working on the HH60 weapon grrrr~!!)
    darthpanda16: Firefox crashed on me. Aryannamage: I don't think I am a GM that would be new.

    frankieraye: I'll see if we can replace the woman with a stick figure and the tiger fangs with marshmallows.//Issues like these need to get escalated quickly to minimize the damage.
    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.
    Sihndra: Nope- not currently possible under any circumstances. Sorry.
    LokisDottir: I mean...not haunting the forums, nope nope..
    Konariraiden: You don't know what you are up against. You will lose.
    Waiting for...Hamster Packs!

    41% chance to get an all class pet hamster....but they has already been freed by the magic hamster.

    lolsss~~~!! if only~ b:sad I was once in a BH run with 3 thats right THREE barbs. all 3 failed DX none could keep aggro and the main barb even had a cleric stacking heals on him and a guardian charm but farren ate him in about 2 seconds flat...think the other two dropped by farrens aoe or something. It happened so quickly. like POW POW main tank dead farren starts going after me since I was the next in line of the aggro chain. DX tried to sutra out but was too slow. T.T'' other two barbs I think they either dropped dead by farrens aoe or something... b:cry lost so much exp that day.

    going full DD spell blazing is bound to get you aggro no matter what barb is tanking.

    learn to hit and then wait like 2 secs there was a whole mob looking at you and barb nad angles and stuff i think i just forgot b:surrender

    well its not exactly same LA build its not a set build like 3mag 1str 1 dex every level its sorta spread around and customized but what im saying is yes i will always stay above arcane but i dont want to nescessarily go up and match LA i wanna be in the middle so i only get reqs for the small LA accessories like boots and gloves and keep arcane torso and legs the difference wont be phenonminal but it will still be defend better than arcane build and stronger than LA build if that makes sense lolb:pleased


    also lmao at the emergency barb hotlineb:laugh

    Might not be so bad in theory, but dunno in practice. BTW it isn't always the case that armor will have less requirements than the boots/gloves you can wear at your level.

    nevermind u arent right my build so far is working well because gloves and boots require about same as chest and legs yet they require higher lvls so it gives me more time to get the dex req so im gonna keep on this build

    Also some LA have decreased reqs such as a armor of dawn i just looted i can wield it with 4 less dex/str needed

    Ouch!

    But... with my stone barrier up, farren hits me for 300-ish, and a dark green orb can out-heal his damage on me. I guess you get hit harder?

    (I am still wearing my rank skirt and so on... and I think he does earth damage?)

    O.o' um ya everything does +80% extra damage on me. X_x' must be me small size and all. what with everyone trying to step on me. b:shocked hmm and the earth shield thing might also be a factor I always use glacial embrace instead since I prefer mana regen to P def. (should really get rid of that habit lol) But i'm pretty sure Farren = Physical aoe O.o''
