Im nearing 99 now and am trying to plan ahead and start buying gears etc and would like some advice as to wether this set up is the best option or if theres anything you would suggest I change. This is what I had in mind for 99

I already have the decides, tome, rings so used them in the info but anything that you guys think would be better Id appreciate the input.
Also bit of a noob question using the above gears I would be 4aps sparked but I also have demon cyclone heel to use at 99 which according to the calculator would make me 5 aps but I understand that spark cancels out the effects of cyclone heel or vice versa so would I technically be what aps

    Cyclone Heel never gives a higher APS boost than Demon Spark.

    Right now you have 2.86 base, demon sparked = 4.0 aps
    With 3.33 base, sparked = 5.0, and demon cyclone heel is still 4.0
    (proof: that's what I have)

    2.86 cyclones (20% when demon) to 3.33
    2.86 trip sparks (25% if demon) to 4.0
    And of course they don't stack.


    Get rid of the evasion ornies. Evasion ornies suck and you won't be able to tank with them. Instead make your boots and bracers LA and if you have your TT99 plate make 1 TT99 HA ornament, and the other use a magic ornie of some type. I went with TT99 HA belt and used cube neck. The only thing you gain from LA ornies is a couple hp from HA/LA refine difference but you basically give up two entire armor slots for -.05 int. Instead you can have much better defenses, magic and physical, if you go HA/LA hybrid.

    This is my present set up, http://pwcalc.com/8c90ef6504ab0591 , I can tank bh 69 mostly, if i pull successfully or someone else does. Some times they hit me for 4k twice quickly, or 6~7k and one shot me. Always good to have a mystic around, so i don't cause squad wipes. I find i am lacking in dd power in nirvana, but that will be corrected once i get my end game gear. There are lots of pieces missing, nirvana helm and pants, g15 claws, rings, cube necklace, stones, refining. But i am happy with this build so far. Might have to restat slightly to fix dex.

    I can tank the tt 2-2 and 2-3 boss that spawns clones, but that requires kicks, genie skill to cancel and sparks to avoid magic attack. Barbs are still wonderful to have b:victory, but i find during non 2x times, barbs and clerics go in hibernation.

    I have the mats for lionheart belt, haven't gotten round to making it, waiting to get nirvana pants first, that will give me 3.33 aps unsparked and 5 aps sparked. If i add the -int tome in the distant future, i will be 4 aps unsparked, and with cyclone heel i will get 5 aps (with a -0.1 int weapon). Need to have a tome with a -0.05 weapon and demon spark to get 5 aps.

    If you only want the -int robe, the wraithgate one is a better option. If you have shards/stones/level/refine preference, than might want to think about others.

    If u don't have an alt at 60-80 lvl range wraithgate robe isn't an option, also I wouldn't suggest it as endgame gear, poor refines plus not so good gem addons.

    Also Bms have their Phy def buff so I don't find it wrong to go for Ethereal ornaments.
    The voices in my head might not be real..............................................................but they have some good ideas!

    More base defense means your BM buff will have more gains, but I agree about wraithgate robe. Although if you are making a barb/bm/archer/sin on the same account it'd be worth it just to rush it to 60 and get the cape then accountstash it over.
