    Go with Build 1. Better HP, better Mdef, and only 1k Pdef less which... when it's that high... isn't much, as opposed to having nearly 2k less Mdef. Evasion ornaments are a horrible choice, Build 1 is better.

    Go Build 1

    As said above, evasion ornies are basically a waste of an equipment spot, even for getting -int. And not sure why you are combining TT Nirvana (only 1 piece?) with 2 pieces of Lunar. Would be better to go 3 pieces of lunar, even though there's not another set bonus till 5 pieces.

    I thought about going for G15 claws and roughly the same build as build 1 to keep 5.0 but now I'm considering 2 pieces of rank 9 and dropping to 4.0 with G15. Or stick with Regicides, 5.0, and 2 pieces of rank9.

    the way that i see it, if u can do damage a sec with 4aps, with r9, go for it, but, if u want to use other sparking skills and get chi fast, i would stay with the 5aps, like if u wanted to combine, hf with demon spark without cloud eruption or chi pots or what ever, 5aps would be better, but then its all up to the user as well, even tho that i am aps, i still use skills, like drakes breath bash, IMO, i love that skill, especially, against barbs, seekers and other bm's who has low magic def

    Once they got rid of the ability to cancel cast Drake's Breath Bash lost all of it's effectiveness. You can shard your axes with an elemental damage shard for breaking past Expel, which was one of DBB's uses, the other use being to add a significant amount of damage to our attacks. The case being that we can no longer do either the skill has very little value, if any at all, seeing as your other two spark skills would benefit yourself or a party far more.

    I prefer a 5APS build, but if you've got the cash you could always have two sets of gear, one a 5APS LA hybrid and the other using full HA for 4APS. 5APS for PvE/1v1 situations, full HA for team PvP.

    Just get cleric buffs. Evasion is better for avoiding attacks for melee. This is a set waht i like to follow. Ofc u need to cs, make lots of money...

    Cleric buffs would benefit you more with more defense anyways. There is soooo many things wrong with that build I thought I'd make a list:

    LA ornies are pretty much usefull only for clawbarbs because the defense bonus of mag/pdef ornies far outweighs the 2-300 hp difference where on a barb its closer to 400 hp. Even then, the dmg reduction of defense covers that gap and I'd recommend it for barbs too. For pvp, evasion doesn't mean ****. Magic attacks never miss and look at your build, its fail and even you have 2 rings with +50% accuracy which means melee attacks almost never miss and you'll have less defense to cover it with LA ornies.

    That tome doesn't exist

    You have 301 dex.

    There is a better -int cape

    Lunar Nirvana is better than TT Nirvana. Only real argument is catabarbs who get debuffed.

    You sharded vit stones as you "dream build". JoSD give better defenses.

    There are 3 or 4 better rings than Lunar ring.

    10 vit and 5 magic for a reason?
