To r9 or not to r9.

Hey guys, im in quite the dilemma here and Im going around asking for people's opinion. My main is my BM and this wizard here is my alt that I go to TW with.
I absolutely detest going to TW on my Bm, I just dont find it very enjoyable. I find my wizard TW gameplay more thrilling and I actually look forward to TW on this character every week.

Now my problem is, do I r9 my main or r9 my TW character.
The fact that my BM is my main does not change r9 or not but is it worth getting r9 on a toon I dont plan to TW on. I still do occasional PvP but not as much as my wizard.

A faction mate of mine also said, whats the point of getting r9 on a character I log in maybe once or twice a week. I see his point as well, I was hoping to get some opinions guys :). b:thanks

    Would that really be whats best? The weapon is the game changer. My farming capabilities does not allow me to get 2 r9 weapons.

    r9 chest,belt and boots for bm? for bm to still be 5 aps. assuming you have a pangu/love up and down
    maybe something like this?
    http://pwcalc.com/a05329ef838af05d
    since your bm is your main that build can be 5 aps sparked with deicides/windpour/regicide/ewwww striking dragons/ g15 fist claw with double int



    maybe this for wiz?

    or something you may consider is r8 recast

    Spend the money on R8 recast instead? That's what i'd suggest you do. You can get R8 Recast for both, actually, and probably be happier with the results. Get +defenses and +attack levels on your BM's armor, and go for similar on your wizard.

    I hit a similar conundrum on my BM, I don't want R9, but I want something better. So, I'm gonna recast R8 instead.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    R9 the wizard. Period.

    If you're only using the BM to PvE, there is really no "need" to R9 the BM. Prior to R9 I did everything perfectly fine without the R9. R9 is practically easy mode.

    PvP is where the R9 is really needed/shines. If youre doing all of that on your wizzie - do the wizzie.

    R9 is not necessary for PvE, ijs. If you TW on your wizard, then go R9 your wizard. Who cares how much you log the wizard? It's your TW character which makes it your main in my eyes.

    There's plenty of R9 barb mains that farm on their G15 zerk dagger sins 5 out of 7 days a week, but they still consider their TW characters their main regardless of how much more they play their sins.

    Get some nice fists/claws and make your BM 5aps, that's all you really need for PvE (farming).

    I enjoy my BM in TW as a R9 Support/Tank, but if they aren't going to be using the R9 char in TW it makes it a waste in PvP lol.

    good point. i guess it all depends on what the op does with their bm. he didnt specifically say his bm was pvp only so i guess it depends on that. if bm is only for pve then full r9 the wiz.

    Kiwi , as far as i remember ur BM has good gears PvE wise .. would you invest in r9 just to farm nirvana/tt ? i doubt that . since you enjoy your wizard ----> get r9 there !

    R9 the wiz!

    My friend is R8 and can pretty much shred players. Then again, he knows his class pretty darn well. Since you enjoy TW and you do it regularly, shred players better with R9!

    Just keep an eye out for archers! (:

    Warrior is only a support for other classes, so eh TT, FB, TW. I say make the rank ninth on the mage as it is a good class of TW and fearless, fun, and its prominence huh MT will be guaranteed a group ...
