    I use Might rings on my cleric found 2 3*s that had super +Mag and +vit and when i revined them I got +phy def, and since i have switched to all Cit Shards in my TT armor to get the required HP to survive Ancient Evil this seemed like a very good idea to me.

    Also might add that i picked them up for under 50k each compared to 200 - 600k for magic rings of similar stats.

    What cape should I use as an arcane class 80+? The only reason I would be inclined to use a Tauran Chieftan cape would be for the fact it's easier to find one with a decent number of slots in the AH. Most of the good normal 3* capes only have 1-2 slots.

    I recommend trying to find a cape with + vit/+ hp addons.
    As arcane armor is already really strong in magic def (accentuated with magicshell/aegis spirit) the extra 250 m.def does nothing for you imho.

    not every1 go for PvP ya know, Hp Shards on weapon are good for barbs pulling catas on TW or Tanking in Instances, Unless ur a fail barb and cant hold aggro witout an attack shard...

    oh and, Red people asking for their stuff back when they get pkk'd and b:cry ing

    I wasnt even thinking of PVP. extra attack means more heals for venos+clerics, faster kills for other classes.

    Im sorry but IMO you have enough sockets with your 4 pieces or armor + hat + cape to shard HP. PLUS you can refine all that gear for MORE HP. I dont think sharding 1 or 2 extra sockets with HP will help.

    But like I said that is MY opinion.

    That's funny.

    Here's what you said.

    ive seen countless lvl 7x+ chars with unidentified addons on equipment wtf is so hard bout going to the elder and droping 100 coins and seeing what addon you have..... i saw a lvl 90 cleric with gear like that one time i asked if he knew where to go to identify items..

    So, In talking to some stranger, you noticed he had unidentifieds. You say you asked him if they knew how to solve that..

    ..... he said wtf does identify mean i laughed called him a noob and walked away

    .. and you decided to be a DB.

    How did we misread this? Where was the other person *rude*?

    Or was it all a lie, you were trying to make us think you're all gansta and shet?

    Either way, DB it is.

    It used to be that beauts were standard in TT90 (200k each) and flawless were premium (800k each). This was back when everyone and their mom didn't have 40M coins.

    For most arcane builds at higher level, each +1 mag on a ring is equivalent to about +2.5 to +3.5 matk on a ring. So giving up just the base +68 matk on a 3* level 78 magic ring to wear a might ring is like losing 20-30 mag.

    If your character's performance is being constrained by pdef (like it may be against Ancient Evil), then it may be worth giving up all that mag attack to gain pdef from refined might rings for that one encounter. But for general play, you are much better off with magic rings on an arcane.

    Regarding the Tauran Chieftan:

    For casters, there are cloaks with +mag. +Mag adds to mdef, max mp, mp recov, matk, and pet healing (venos).

    A pure mag should also have swap equips for those times they need extra pdef / hp, and for that I'm sure anyone can find some +vit/+pdef capes much cheaper than a TC that will provide greater survivability. I'm not as crazy about vit as some people. For me, higher def / lower HP lets me operate much cheaper. My wiz can spam heal me with Morning Dew L3 non stop without ever running out of MP, and it's always been enough to keep me alive. If I chose HP over defense: that wouldn't be the case. A good example of where this would be handy is when I tanked the last boss in the lochmure treasure quest string (last for ~90+) with my plumpfish and was getting hit with AoE for such a long time that my arms were aching when I was done (holding two heal buttons down on two computers). Higher def to hp also saves on charms (not that I use them), gives me greater return on Leech (veno skill), lets me use cheaper pots, my HP bar recovers quicker than others w/ Chromatic & BB. Being pure mage lets me kill quicker, heal better, saves on downtime from mp recov skills, and lets me shard with more economical garnets to balance defenses (and caster classes have skills that multiply on their pdef). I see so many venos shortchanging squads on amp lately. I wonder if it's because they're not pure mag and can't handle the slight MP hit from transforming, or if they're just lazy/cheap?

Why settle for just mdef which probably isn't needed near as much as pdef when you can have all that? A pure mag should also have swap equips for those times they need extra pdef / hp, and for that I'm sure you can find some +vit/+pdef capes much cheaper than a TC that will provide greater survivability.

    u made this topic cuz i said abt ur misty rings rite? and cuz i have Cape of Tauran Chieftan....reason why have it is cuz i dont play at all anymore...but that cape is still better than any +100% accuracy veno with lvl70+ arcane with tt90 wraith :P

    Mistake: Veno meditating during BB in middle of boss fight -not afk: said ran out of pots.

    -Veno got pissed when I questioned it and explained why. Similarly, I could see a veno in RB avoiding the use of Myriad Rainbow (because of the MP drain) when MP is constantly being replenished by the aura. (Myriad takes 0 time to cast and can yield some great results).

    Last time I was in TT with my Wiz, I think I only used ~30% of my available MP. Times I've needed pots were when my toon died, or for fail / incomplete squad.

    meh, sage fails; all it does is make your skills slightly better. slightly higher p.atk passive, slightly longer range passive, slightly higher fire bonus, slightly longer stun, etc big f'ing deal.

    demon does everything archer relies on to kill; faster attack speed, better crits, and some moves give way better defenses for pvp IE demon wing span, or ightning strike... (that never missing thing is amazing)

    make note, even though the bonuses make your damage LOOK bigger, sage with same gear compared to demon without quickshot is only doing ~3% more damage. (search for posts by Asterelle in archer forum for the math)

    BMs with physical defense shards always **** me off. Don't get me started on Fist BMs who roll in full light armor...



    You mean like this one? Who's also one of the top-ranked PVPers on the server?

    Yeah I'm a sage archer that has a set of fists for dps.

    Is that weird? yes. but is it fail? I don't think so.

    And before you say oh thats really because of my expensive gear and +10 fist. I will let you know that my dps with fists matches a fist BM with similar gears and same refinements with max -interval and demon spark.

    It's true that I can't use any of my bow skills while using a fist, but I always have the option to change to bow whenever neccessary. fists are ONLY for dps (enough to take down a 20k hp fully buffed charmed barb in less than 8 seconds). The fact that I'm sage allows me to solo most TT bosses, and I don't get any increase attack speed with fists if I were demon anyways since I'm already at the max attack rate.

    Now for the people who are going to mention how much I spent to gear those gears. Yes I did spend more than most people at first to get some of my gears. But after I was able to use lunar claws, I farmed TT to get the refinement on most of my current gears (including 80% of my TT100 fist), which is not that hard when I can do 3-2 in one hour for an average profit of 8mil.
