A-Grade Robes for Bishop

Player Questions Started Last reply 9 posts
I would like some input on A-grade robes for a 70 Bishop. I've been A grade for a while, but am just now getting into A grade robes. Because I completed the DVC quests, I was able to craft DC Robes. My initial plan was to sell them... but now I'm wondering, as i look at the stats for Majestic and Tallum, that maybe I should just stick with them. Most of the stuff I read on here has to do with other buffer/healer types. What I'm seeing is the +2 Wit, which I want, and the additional 250 MP than you get with Tallum. The -2 Men, combined with my +4Wit -4Men tat, will that be harmful, considering the extra amount of mp given with DC Robes? And I like the bump in speed and the resistance to para.

I'm going back and forth, and really would like some helpful information. Thanks.
This is a nobrainer. Go with majestic set, it gives you everything a bishop should have, high mp regeneration, stun resistance, extra casting speed, extra wit, extra mp, and to top it all off, it only takes away from your intelligence by a measly 1 to do it, which for you is a useless stat.

The DC robes lack the important mp regeneration, and take away from your men, which you need, to give you extra casting speed, which you shouldn't need more of than you would have gotten from a +4 wit tattoo. NOt to mention they provide paralysis resistance, which isn't as useful there exist more players and mobs who use stunning attacks than paralyzing attacks.
Majestic gives extra men, not extra wit.
DC has addition cast and run speed over majestic, which can be very useful in pvp.
Majestic gives men (+1), MP regeneration (+8%) and extra MP (+240) + 15% casting speed.
DC has -2 men and uber casting speed.

I'd go with Majestic for bishop because of the different manarelated bonuses because bishops will always have atleast acumen 2.
If you want more casting speed, I'd go with Tallum, which has same casting speed as DC, but no negative mana effects.
Majestic majestic majestic. More mp, better regen, and OMG stun resist. Works beautifully in PVP.
Thanks for the input guys.... Majestic seems to be the ticket.... anyone wanna buy a DC robe? lol
yeah i do, do say is it a set? and also what is the price... also before trading begins where are ya from... check mail ;)
That's what I did, I had dc robe, boots gloves, prices went up, sold all that and bought maj. Had to have clan help big time on the helm though.

The helm (circlet, helmet) is THE problem on all A-Grade sets. I'm hoping NCsoft modifies the availability of these in C5 (which is the earliest I will be looking for one!)
