Thats one bad ass suite right there. I have no idea of price jsut wanted to say its impressive

 

[SoulWeaver]

Very nice suit only suggestion id have is try and flip your mr and hpr because hpr is capped at 18. Nice suit though not sure on total value seems like a good setup.

Guesstimate without artifacts... 600-800m maybe more maybe less

 

[Tier 5 Dog]

Yeah I agree on the HPR thing, it was just how it turned out.

Realistically the only things I would like to change other than that are:

6 More Kinetic Eater
3 More Fire Eater
2 More Casting Focus
More Mana Increase.


Temp I was/am running with it is:

120 Archery
120 Magery
120 Resist
120 Eval
100 Alchemy
90 Tactics
85 Meditation

My next project is a 211 Stamina Archer Mage suit heh, with HPR and Eaters!!

 

[Tier 5 Dog]

It's all about the studded refined suits at the moment.

Can't top Clark Griswold!

 

[Tier 5 Dog]

I'm not sure, I saw your suit today @Cetric. I guess it's just contrasting styles, It's hard to say which is better.

For one your suit doesn't use Spell focusing Sash which is probably one of the most core items to a pure mage.

It has 8 CF and 14 Fire Eater, which I would prefer more of.

I'm not a fan of the woodland leggings and Primer on Arms.

The 50 mana increase is extremely nice and hard to fit, I really like that.

However, it is kind of offset by the low int bonus mostly when you fight against mages. Higher int bonus helps offset the effects of curse and the mana you lose when cursed. In the same way that having alchemy and 50 EP will mean you have 150 strength after the curse.

You also may not have noticed, but i have double hit spell with 80% di. Yes definitely contrasting styles. My suit isn't perfect. What I meant when I said no one can top Clark is that I keep seeing people trying to copy it, and its funny because its not that easy to play or that amazing, it just breaks up the monotony of regular temps.

Also, I don't use the spell focusing sash on any char. It isn't fun to toggle on and off and don't like the low DMG when changing targets. I use the woodland leg so I can run more on the weap, I could easily do weaps like urs and swap the legs

 

[Tier 5 Dog]

I use double hit spell bows too.

You can make a macro to turn it on and off.

You can charge it on one target, switch it off when you change targets and when you go back to the first target you can turn it on again and keep the stacks you had.

 

[Cetric]

The 80 di is what I meant. I like bigger DMG on moving shots. And I know on the sash, I just don't like it. If I go to swap targets to sync someone I don't like the DMG being garbage.

I actually have a lot of sexy pieces if I want to change the suit around, I just don't want to. I like the 30 kinetic and 50 mana inc. Tho I have considered swapping something for more fire eater, but meh, lazy lol

 

[Tier 5 Dog]

You just press a macro and the damage is normal. It gives a lot more skill to playing a mage.

The 80 DI is a really nice touch, I prefer to use the AI damage (which is still 35 + spells it's 50+ even with low DI) in dumps with charged sash combined with Alchy nova. I use a normal bow and heavy for utility specs alone. I still use a combination of Supernovas and moving shots with magic arrow spam to chase people.

Magical short bows are nice for physic attack vs mages lowering their SDI and increasing their LMC.

The 80 DI would be insane with the magical shortbow lightning attack with our 100% ele weapons as well as moving shot as you mentioned.

 

[Cetric]

I'm not saying the sash sucks, its nice, I just personally don't like bothering with it and never felt a need for it.

Sry to derail ur thread lol
