HI,

I like to ask the best setup for shards on a BM lvl 65. From some random tells while playing I've been told that I should take them all to be hp+ and at the same time by game experience I've always known that magic mobs hurt me the most even with the 'narrow' skill.

So, there are hp+ shards and magic defense shards, I have sockets in pretty much all my armor and accessories, I like to have some advise on how to better distribute the shards and of which class. On my equipment, half have 2 sockets, one has 3 sockets the other have 1 socket, I'm talking about armor, mantles, belt and necklace.

Thanks for any help.

:)

    Most BMs will tell you to get HP, and that's kinda the only good thing to imbue to your set. We already have a buff for p. def, and we usually lack in HP.

    HP normally works well till you are mid 90's + and have higher refines. then you start to look to saph and def bonuses, as well as + vit stones

    Until you reach higher lvls (90+ usually), and can afford +7-+10 refines. I would suggest keeping HP shards in your gear.

    When you reach the higher lvls, then you can look into +10 vit stones, saph shards, and other options.

    None. You level too fast to even have to worry about sharding gear until you're 7x or 8x.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.
