Need an advice

What kind of refines do your armor and ornaments have? Sins have a tendency to over-refine their weapon before they're ready to take the damage.

Buy yourself a big fat reset note and a better helmet first holy **** lol

+6 Nethers with a tt80 green helmet?

+6 all your gears, stat your STR, vit and mag down (to, like, 100? 104? Give or take depending the speed at which you get a better cape) and get a G15/G16 hat, 2 signs of frost: chaos and +6 those too before even thinking of going for tome.

Then get tome

then shard all your armor with free G10 citrines from weeklies/G9 morai citrines

And +10 daggers last

EDIT: keep buying R8 tops till you get a 4socket one

Make your TT99 4socket

Farm lunar single mode or pick up mats during BH, and get a LG: Mantle of Radiance.

When you are something along the lines of this: http://pwcalc.com/c162a170e1088fe5

then go ahead and +10 the daggers

That's a bit much Walpurga, especially if its a toon that you farm with. All my gear is +5 w/ flawless, helm is g16+7 w/ immacs, and I have no problem taking hits that come my way. I have 9.2k buffed, and can switch into r9 peices (3rd cast +5 chest, 1st cast boots and wrist +5 w/ flawless hp) that allow me to tank non frenzy bosses.

Making your tt99 4 soc isnt worth much unless your loaded, 3 socs will do just fine. The money you spend buying r8 chest can be put towards new gems, and refines. Restat vit and mag to 3, str to 104 if possible. Sign of frost is a ****ing waste of coin imo, the magic resist is nice, but the Band from heavens jail refines for about the same pdef, and gives more phy atk, **** the lunar rings. Your wraithgate cape is fine, the money you spend putting toward a mantle of radiance can be pit towards better gems in your other peices of gear.

-This is from the perspective of a sage sin that bust his *** to farm his gears. I farmed and crafted my sins basic aps gears on my lv82 barb.

@Mayfly: This is true, but you have to look at things from a farmers perspective, and I have seen a lot of arcanes do that as well, it's easy to judge when you are ranged, you dont have to take the nasty melee hits. I +10ed my weapon after having +7 g16 for a while, I like my dps. I farm things effieciently solo, w/o a healer and its saved me a lot of money on farming runs. But I also know how to control my aggro, ribstrike, and back off if I see something is about to tick my deaden. I hate the concept when people say 'sins have the tendency to', because the person playing the toon isn't a sin all the time, and a lot of them have other toons. It's a problem with players in general, not just sins. For instance all the casters getting r9.3 weps but still in +3/+4 g16 gear.

more defense, more offense and cheaper/faster to get.

turns out vit is not so worthless eh? probably something to do with your weapon being g16 while armor is g12... but yeah, go go get attack from dex and hp from armor herp derp

I would:

1.

re-stat to:

Vit = 3
Mag = 3
Str = 104 (since you're not done with gear wait to re-stat any lower)
Dex = Rest

2. Get G15 LA Helm

3. +6 everything

4. +10 helm (Could be done later, but this is what I did for a huge HP boost)

5. +10 Daggers

6. Get Tome

7. Upgrade cape to either Energetic Robe: Lunar Glade or Lunar - Mantle of Radiance.

Then you can re-stat Str even lower and put it in Dex and then it's just a matter of refining and sharding even higher

But that's just my 2 cents xD

Lunar glade robe is a freaking waste of coin for a few extra stats, most which you do really need, buy it if you have 40m to splurge on a cape that useless accept for farming. I'd go with the G16 LA helm, you get a lot more stats and hp as you refine, even tho you lose out on mdef and pdef, you can much more hp at +10 than you do the other helm, which more than makes up for it defensively. G16 helm if you need more def, g15 if you have low atk lvls.

Not that I know what he meant but lunar cape isnt gotten for few more stat points but grade for endgame shards.

I'm saying for farming, It is not neccessary to have a LG cape. Especially not if you just gonna socket it with immacs. Endgame shards are expensive themselves and not everyone has that option available just for farming. If you want endgame shards, then yes, get the lunar cape, other than that it is an overpriced peice of junk.

Depends what you mean by farming. I think most sins plan on soloing, not having someone else tank for them. The 9 stat (+3 magic) stat point difference and 200 hp at +10 is significant enough. More dd and paint heals from the stat points, plus the increased survivability means faster farming and less deaths meaning eventually it'll pay for itself.

I went with the G13 Lunar Robe, personally. LAs get the best benefits from JoSD and it gets 267 more hp. It's worth refining and sharding well since my bm, barb, and archer also use it.

Plus, better gear means you are not going to be one of these:


5-6k hp sins aren't farming much. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money and get to a place where farming is decent. The cape shouldn't be a huge priority but it is a priority.

200 hp difference isn't much unless you have low hp imo, and i solo everything in TT accept 3-3 and Wulord. As for JoSD, I am farming r9, I'd rather put those shards in there, I have 6.8k hp base and I farm a hell of a lot, so about 6k hp sins, depends on the sin. I solo w/o a tank or cleric, but I also know my class extremely well.
