Good Evening

It has always crossed my mind about wizzards owning bm's in TW's.
So i was wondering if Alter Marrow Magical would be a good choice to max...and will be useful in TW's

    physical marrow may be maxed for pve purposes, duels or 1 vs 1 but definetly not magical marrow because if you max it you'll have almost 0 pdef(even with stacked buffs you'll have a low pdef) and when used in tw you'll be an easy target for other bms wbs and any physical damage attack(even if it wasn't meant for you lol). unless you get lvl 11 ones but still too risky to use in tw!!

    i maxed ph marrow and when i use it i have 24 mdef lol

    I used maxed marrow in tw without sage bell, even after getting debuffed and works out perfectly.

    u will eb rarely focused by phisical damage, and having 7-8k pdef is fair enough.

    currently i have nearly 10k pdef buffed with lvl11 sage marrow on...

    What Hippie said. If you have demon magical marrow always keep it on. No physical classes go after you anyway if you're a bm, the extra magic defense helps out a ton

    ah well i don't have your gear :D and she doesn't have MY gear if she's playing with that lvl 60 BM, and concerning me i don't use it in tw, why ? well as i said other physical damage players WON'T target you but you'll get hit by their aoes anyway and both barbs and bms have that kind of attacks, the few times i used mdef marrow in tw i got hit hard with that maybe because i was in the front line i don't know but i remember being one shoted at lvl 6x by barbs perdition with marrow on lol

    so if you want to use it well you can but be carefull to not being caught in those aoes, or if you're not facing some very high lvls lol

    this problem is partially solved when you get lvl 11 ones especially if you use both demon aura and demon marrow at the same!!

    If you're not 89 yet then keep magic marrow at lvl 3-5. I don't know how you got one shot by a lvl 6x barb's arma...

    that's exactly what i'm saying since she's lvl 60 and i didn't get 1shoted by lvl 6x barbs but I was lvl6x lol the barb was 90+ and i had marrow lvl 6 on, not sure if it was a crit or zerk though...

    anyway the point is pre 89 high lvl wizzies will still hit you hard in tw even with mag marrow on but in that case even your pdef is low and it's even worse if you get purged (marrows don't get purged since they are not "posistive buffs") or if you're unbuffed!!

    i personally would get 10, or 11(especially if demon)

    its handicap against archers from range, but sicne u fight them from melee range mostly, so u force them to use metal skills, its okay.

    that's interesting cuz i was always wondering if i should use marrow against archers or not since they have both physical and magical attacks

    can you say me the price for phys + mag marrow sage lvl 11 and do they do only mag attacks from near?
