used my cleric dont want ppl knowing how noob i am about my veno with the lvl she is at xD I have read the forums a fair bit i dont know if maybe I am just looking in the wrong place. I am arcane build veno with mostly mag and about 70 vit. I am just not sure which gems to use i was going with immac hp when someone said that with no phys def i would die no matter how much hp i had. So getting my new tt armour and just dont know which gems to get the feed back is to confusing. Does it just come down to personal preference or is there something that works better lol.b:surrender

    It all depends on what you like. In my TT90 gear, my sleeves will be all HP shards, boots 2 garnets 1 citrine, pants 2 garnet 1 citrine, and top will have 2 citrine and 1 garnet. It's personal preference if you want all HP shards or all Def shards. You can mix and match shards like I have too.

    I would also like to add that TT90 gear you are going to have for awhile, so it's worth refining it for +HP. If do you refine your gear, that might help you decide which type of shards you want to put in it!

    I agree with everything that's been said =) Even though I wear light armor, I still put garnets and citrines for added pdef and hp. I also have a pdef belt and mdef necklace. With cleric and BM buffs I get ~8k phys def and ~7k mdef in my current gear. That was the last time I looked at it when I was buffed with level 10 cleric buffs and a level 10 bm buff.

    For pure arcane venos, you are squishy against physical mobs my best recommendation is garnets, and then just use the refines for hp. BUT I've seen pure arcane venos going with all citrines. So either one is your choice =) There really is no wrong answer. If you much prefer the citrines and your refines, go for it. If you'd like to put garnets for more phys def, awesome too.

    I've even seen arcane venos use sapphire shards in their gear. So its more of a "pick what you like" kind of situation :P

    For all those that told me Lunar Gold wasn't worth the hassle of farming... but now have the Nirvana versions... I laugh at you. Hypocrites.

    Depending on your gear, you may not need garnets at all. im in PK mode everyday and I am an arcane build with nothing but Hp shards (except in weapon of course).

    doing 2-3 garnets isnt going to help you much over all, unless they are gernet gems, but why would you do that...

    IMO it's always best to stick with the hp shards, if you are in trouble, you have fox form....
