equipment question for SE and OL

Player Questions Started Last reply 11 posts
Hello, i am updating my equipment and i would like to ask you what's you opinion about it

On my SE i have the BW set, though the helmet is not mine (i've never been able to loot the recipe 100%). As i have the BW set should i go for A grade as majestic or should i skip A grade ?

For OL i don't know what type of armor i should get (heavy/light/robe) , my orc mystic is still level 9 and i haven't gone into buying any armor mastery skill yet, so if you could advice me

Thank you


Ps: for my necro i gonna try win demon set thru the medals quest ^^
At such a level for the OL, well the cheapest weapon you can use, otherwise, I used a top, no grade sword or blunt.
As for armor, at that level, Heavy is the way to go. You dont' have much staying power anyways so you want to protect yourself. As soon as you can, get your first drain spell. The sleep is nice, but then you need one of your other spells to do damage over time and then just smack it dead. It works, but it will take a long time :)

BW set is very good for any kind of healer/buffer because it gives lots of mp and also casting speed. Majestic set is slightly better, but IMHO you should only go for it if you can get the majestic circlet cheap (e.g. spoiling the recipe and then crafting it, as opposed to buying the circlet for 100m+). Majestic robe set gives only like 200mp more than BW robes, casting speed is actually slightly lower on a SE. The increase in mp regen is nice, though, and the stun resist helps.

But you can use BW robes even at high levels. I got my maj set at 74, and BW worked very well until then. So if your SE is not played as a main and is only your 2box, I would not go for majestic.
actually me SE is my main char, and i got a maj robe already (drop) [yes i played lottery same day but i didn't win :p ]

so i guess i should not stress myself with A-grade unless i can craft circlet, thanks a lot for your advice Varaya
Tallum > Majestic for an SE in A grade.
orvieta : because of the WIT bonus ?
Yes, we already cast so slow that the extra WIT is well suited for healing and having a better rez % too.

I know DC might even be better cause of para resistance, but I find it very yucky on a Shillien Elder.

I don't like Majestic for a slow casting class like Dark Elves...it's better for EE's or Bishops imo.
Orvieta: is it ok without the MP regen bonus, what's your feed back about the MP regen ?

Tallum > Majestic for an SE in A grade.



I was gonna say that, but I didn't feel like getting yelled at :p

Majestic is obviously better if you have trouble with mp regen in the parties you're in, but if not tallum is great. The m.def bonus is really nice too. I've rarely had problems with mp in tallum on my SE.
Majestic is the upgrade to BW but really any of the A grade sets work. Or stay in BW, its not like you'll be pvping healing and need the stun resist of maj anyway.
Yes, you can basically use all of the A grade robe sets (well, maybe nightmare sucks a bit, though :) )

Only problem *I* have with Tallum and DC is that these sets do not really feel like a major upgrade from BW.

OK, you get casting speed and that is nice, but seriously SE totally sucks now as a healer in pvp, you use battle heal anyway all the time if you want to have any chance at keeping somebody alive, and that is fast enough with majestic. Para resist, stun resist, both are nice, and when I look back at the pvp I have been in, stun resist seems more important to me. And if you compare the max mp, you will see that with both Tallum and DC you actually have LESS max mp than with BW.

I thought about getting DC for my SE (and in hindsight I should have chosen it because of my nuker sub - but back then I still thought about going archer and so majestic was the obvious choice), but when I tried it out with a borrowed set, I was pretty disappointed and I felt that it was not worth the upgrade cost.

Guess you could say: DC, Tallum, Majestic all work, but Majestic is the logical upgrade to BW. If you can get one of the sets cheap, go for it, but you could also just stay in BW and use the saved money to buy a nice weapon or a nice armor set for another class that you play which benefits more from A grade.
