Why are people flaming others about light armor like its a curse?

if you look at the builds I did in comparison. Same shards, same refinements. You have roughly the same Phsy resistance, more mag resistance, -3% more negative channeling, and more mag attack power, with more Hp.....AA is better if you build correctly. Only thing you really lose is 11% crit...

The LA build also has the same amount of magic def as an better geared archer, but less hp, which is really bad 99+.

Having only 6.8k hp and 5k mag def = 1 shoot for any 100+ wizard. Also 1 shoot for a cleric that sleeps you at half health and uses tempest. Also food for archers what ever you do since fox form wont help, you have (unlike arcane venos) bad metal defense.

As a veno you really have to think about magic defense. You have fox form to hide and kite against physical classes and its kinda the panic button you use when you get ganked and in mass pvp when you get focus fired. But fox form does jack shiet when you get elemental attacks on you.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of light armor myself. Therefore, I wouldn't rely on it for most classes. But if I see a light armored wizard, I would not judge him. Because he / she chose his / her own path.

Wait a minute.. weren't you the one that said LA is the best and blah blah blah a while ago?

nope.... no hp just resistance, im my theory... what is hp without a sheild? sheild meaning the resistance...

u got all this hp for what? to last a few more hits? just to let that charm tick and **** then hear u complain about it cause ur getting hit really hard?

If you have physical and magic def balanced...ur defence... will protect ur hp... i got 3.9k hp... and not many wizzies will 1 hit me.. cause...

1) my buff stops me from being 1hit.
2) high magic and pdef
3) im an assassin... "u cant hit what u cannot see"

Think about it...

ok....um....thought about it...um.....wizard kills you....1 shot. BM's kills you 6 second combo.....cleric kills you...yeah...i could go on...

People flame them because it's not the "right way" to play. You know, you don't do everything the cookie cutter way and you're automatically considered an idiot, right? Even though you should be playing the game the way you want for your enjoyment. Gotta rush, rush, rush through those TTs so you can finish it 10 minutes sooner and whatnot.

Having played all DD ranged classes. I have to lulz at those who claims their crits are just 'awe-sum' 'splendid' or even 'amazing'.

The classes that has highest probability of criting are the sins and Archers.

Now please do not tell me that your LA build, has a higher chance of criting than the 2 classes mentioned above.

sins crit chances are so far the highest and still, they do not crit 90% of the time.

So please explain to me, how 'awe-sum' can your LA built crit?

The only way I can see Venos, Mages, able to utilize the built are because they have skills that takes advantage (no matter how marginal).

Now what does a LA cleric and psychic have in them that makes use of this build?

For crit chance?

For survivability?

It is often said that AA classes are supposed to be fragile (in tradition sense) for their ability to deal out loads of damage and it's supposedly a trade off.

Now if you 'balance' it out, you will find that you need to spend more cash into making your cleric / psychic to match your peers in AA.

Bottomline: If you got loads of cash to refine (at least + 7 and above) your gears and weapon, you can be LA.

But if you are a poor LA, please accept the fact that your damage will never reach your peer's level.

Being a DD or Cleric, it comes down to how much MAG stat.

Str Dex and Vit can only do so little to help in your survivability.

Uh it's actually the other way around. People go light armor because all the gear is ridiculously cheap compared to it's AA/HA counterparts. I should know, I was LA from lvl70-90. Not because I was poor but because of all the freakin money I was able to save by not decking out AA to be competitive. I managed to compete with the best of the server with little or no salary from TW and no Cash Shopping, AS A CLERIC. There was a time before event items where clerics were ridiculously expensive to play, especially if you wanted to remain at a competitive level with the rest of the server...

Then I quit... and event **** came out... and all the time the people put into getting their characters where they were, everyone else was able to do in a matter of days because of the events. Fail PWI.

Kinda funny how the ones saying there is lack in power cause of refines or the gear are 100+ or near it. im not a god, but im feared when people know im out to kill them. In pvp why the hell would a sin attack a barb and blademaster... IMO i enjoy killing that blademaster's dumb gf or wife who went pk with them.. squishy = dead... anyway +7 and +8 is an option but u dont need it and as an example clearly it shows... question.. who acctually has a sin that has done pvp and pve? a sin is not limited on their gear just on their skills and stats....

If you read the entirety of this thread, you would realize that the two classes people don't have problems using LA are archers and sins.

And you happen to fall under the sin category.

I remember in mid 2009 and before people use call LA clerics for rebirth. I remember that happening very often in WC.

TigerLilly, you know that some people prefer to take their friends to TTs no matter what builds they are? Simply cause they know their playstyle. Or do you say "no" to friends with different builds? Or you just dont befriend with people with different builds?

Besides it is just TT... you don't need to be "elite" to do it >.>

Coming from a veno, who are usually greedy and controlling in any TT instance.

Jealous much? b:chuckle

But seriously, who handpicks players for TT basing on their builds, expecially for DDs? In tank and clerics you can be bit more picky as in some cases you need good ones, but for DD?

Not really. It used to **** me off when I was 7x, now that I'm 10x and claw, I solo tank 3-3 with two clerics... 2nd Illusion Stone today.... between 3 people.

I'd just like to say, anyone posting anything over +5 please come share some money. Sorry to burst your bubble, but +10 is not the average players endgame. We don't have that much cash to spend on the game.

I +1 - +10 my Deicide from 2.5 weeks of merchanting.
