Having completed my g16 vana set, my next goal is cube neck, and warsong belt.

Being a squishy archer, i would like one of them to be phys defense, and one of them mag defense. warsong belts are cheaper and easier to make, so i could upgrade it faster then cube necklace. Which one should i make phys, and which one mag? for once i have no clueb:chuckle

    I personally find the most common combination to be P def cube neck and m def WS belt. You could do the opposite as well, It would depend more on your alts that are available for account stashing and stuff like that. If you have alot of HA alts I would get the M def Cube neck. AA alts I would get the P def neck. WS belt is easier for you to obtain so you could make one of both eventually if you so desired.

    I have no alts that will use it. this is my only lv 100 toon (been playing for almost 4 years) with my next being a lv 96 sin who will use lionheart for tt farming and stuffs with aps after it hits 99. I have no plans to make another toon.
    I think your right, go with mag belt and phys neck, seeing as the phys neck also gives some mag resistance, and im scared more against r9 mages now then i am against melees.

    Though i would like more opinions to confirmb:cute

    Pdef, pdef, pdef. Too many sins out there anymore with zerk daggers. I can armor charm a mage and run away taking min damage.

    Let me simplify it in the form of a flow chart.

    1) Are you +10 JoSD/vit stone?

    No - Step 2
    Yes - step 3

    2) - Either, you're gonna get killed whatever you choose

    3) - Either, you're gonna do slightly better whatever you choose. But still get killed in under 5s when purged.

    Medf charms are way more useful than pdef charms due to the nature of magic attacks. Get pdef ornaments.

    So you just stand there while people attack you? No wonder wizzies are becoming so extinct.

    I made the mag belt already.
    I have a genie to counter assassins, and honestly, if a +12 r999 sin gets me stunned without that genie, im done for anyway, even if i had defense ornaments. Im worried about the mages who can attack me from distance more, so i got the mag belt first, which is easier to upgrade to g16. Mdef charms are definately more useful then pdef decus, seeing as pdef dies instantly then results in another attack of pdef being taken due to auto attacks on melee toons. but mdef charms arent enough alone seeing as low level wizards can tick them while high levels can then drop you without then in NW or TW. yesterday i had an mdef charm up thinking it would save me from a +12 veno while 1 v1ing in secret passage. The flame mobs hit me and dropped the mdef charm, resulting in the veno's crit killing me.
    Will get mag belt, then phys neck, then maybe a phys belt too, being cheaper then necklaces. For archers using a phys ring is a must for damage, refining those also gives more phys defense. I also still have my end of chrono phys belt which is nice too

    You said "a mage" meaning one.

    Then you bring up "people" meaning many.

    Which one do you mean?
