in short; I am a BM - Lost City, and I plan on cash-shopping Nirvana gear.
wishful stats:
PWcalc showing Nirvanan +10, other accessories, stats build, and defense shards.
(http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=a3184ed2d817f27b)


My theory::

As for my massive lack of HP, I will not do what everyone else is doing (HP/vit shards)

I plan to rely on refining level for HP, and let my defense level worry about protecting me in a fight.

refining Nirvana to +10 and having all armor 4 sockets and each socket +2 defense level, i can achieve a defense level of 50+ (if i also put shards in my weapon), while still maintaining a 12k+ HP.

I have also managed to find basic pricing for Nirvana armor, nirvana weapon, and all the defense shards.

please post your thoughts and If anyone as calculations/prices (not success rates) for making 6 pieces of armor +10 refinement, please share so i may incorporate the price.



armor stats / base price: 
Armor: gen.2
//the following stats are NOT REFINED generation 2 Nirvana Twilight armor
phys. 	4483
elem.	1921
HP	735
vit 	32-40
str 	30-50
physdmg	-1% 
int.	-0.15
crit%	3
+phydef	16%
+eledef 16%

based on a 450kcoins:1gold ratio:
Full Price gen2 [including gen.1]:
$1,667

Lv1:
$667


----
weapon Ultimate Darkness ~ Rulebreaker:

Full price gen2 [including lv.1]:
$1,111

gen1:
$445


Total:

Full Lv.1 :: $1,112 [with weapon]
Full Lv.2 :: $2,778 [with weapon]

SHARDS:
3 tiger shards = 1 dragon shard
3 dragon shards = 1 JoSD
therefore: 9 tiger shards = 1 JoSD

9 tiger shards = 18m
therefore: 1 JoSD = 18m

18m = 40 gold [based on 450k:1 ratio]

4 socket calculations: 
sockets x peices of armor = total armor sockets + weapon sockets = total number of sockets avalable.
		4 x 6 = 24 + 2 = 26 sockets avalable.

		shard cost + 3m (imbueing) x ammount of sockets = total cost 
		18m + 3m x 26 = 546M 

		546,000,000 / 450,000 = $1,214 USD (rounded) based on a 450kcoins:1gold ratio.




THE GRAND TOTAL:

$3,992 (@450k:1) USD
NOT INCLUDING REFINEMENT AND MISSING SOCKETS.

    with all the jone's blessings running around, you'll still take a good amount of damage from mages, but i guess your decking of nirvana resistance offsets that dmg also

    good but expensive build i guess b:shocked

    On your calc, you are using 1st recast Nirvana armor. If you used 2nd recast you would have 67 def level instead of 57: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=190a56ff93043409 Slightly more HP as well.

    I'm not going to comment/flame on your choice to use 2x JoSD on your Nirvana sword. b:chuckle

    this seems kinda corny, why not just use attack level, and go mad with attack power? best defense is a good offense.

    That's the other way around.
    AP classes are a real butt pounding...

    its an interchangeable saying, but being able to kill someone faster > taking hits.

    because a bm with all attack level shards is called a "target" in a game ful of ranged toons with jones blessings

    that said dumb build is dumb if only because you have gimped int and are useing a teribad blade

    if you want to go full nirvana with 1 weapon

    go full vit...wheel of warfog with g 12 acc stones with god of frenzy same def level setup invest in g 15 orns for the extra 2 def levels each you would be a beast in TW if nowhere else

    or go with a 1/2 decent int/def setup

    should probably learn to build a bm before you splash the cash.

    If youre gonna go all the way with full nirvana.. get 2nd recast atleast and i guess you'll want to keep interval in mind also?

    [http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=8090eaa82f6c62da

    switching to fists with that build would give you a 5/s sparked demon bm, or a 4/s sage with a boost from skills / genie.

    if youre not too fussed about interval, think about 2x peices of lunar-nirvana and 2x peices of tt-nirvana for the attack setbonus, or 6 peices of tt-nirvana for the 5 and 6 peice setbonuses (10 def level (5) and 3 def level (6) )

    your choice of rings, tome and ornaments were horrible. with all that nirvana HA gear and def level, you have no need for more pdef from ornies and the mdef ones would be exponentially more beneficial. misties were cool at level 80, not at 100 after blowing 3 grand. Also swords suck, and putting def level gems in them is kinda.. a waste. You got about 50 def level already, dont nerf your attack for an extra 4.... b:bye

    I have seen many place in att level shards into their armor, and if it works for them, great. For me I would rather focus on the Def aspect vs the Offensive.
    As Steopie pointed out, using Pdef ords is kinda a waste at your level. You really do not need anymore Pdef, but what you need is a balance of Mdef. Second cast Nirvana will grant you a ton more if in a full set. 13 Def lvl added with a anni blessing alone is 28%. Currently I have two stage II nirvana and one stage I, working at finishing off the full stage II set at some point, but will have my old TT99 boots and bracers for inv, because this is still needed outside of TW.
    Your build tweeked could hold promise, but keep in mind that you will need refines along with the Def lvl gems if you hope to stay alive.
    Here is something along the lines of what you would be looking at
