thinking ahead.....

Iskandar made lvl 52 recently. that means A grade is next. perhaps it is a little early to be thinking about it, but perhaps not (I, after all, was building my doom light set since level 41).

weapon isn't an issue, armor is. I know I'm sticking with light armor. I tank for my kitty, after all, and more pdef is more useful than slightly higher casting speed (bsps and a magic haste pot makes my heals fast enough in PvE, or UD now if things are really bad).

I'm kind of leaning towards nighmare light. inbuilt vr, Dex +1, sleep and hold resist. definitely leaning AWAY from Tallum, -wit just hurts, and I don't need more MP, really, plus it is fugly on a human mystic (though Nightmare's dress isn't much better...)

plan B is just keeping my Doom light. I'm really enjoying my +3 Dex. brings my run speed into line with other mystic classes, and does nice things for my evasion and critical (neither of which is stunning as a mystic, but every little bit helps). perhaps see if I can bring the set to +6, which will equal A grade pdef.....

Just me or is there even a question?

Yes he wanted an opinion from someone on what he is leaning towards choosing.

I would most likely stick with the Doom light set for PVE because the +dex is awesome as you said. Increase run speed and higher crit chance. If you are using a Two handed sword with focus you can get some pretty nice crit's. Although if you are tanking for your Kat then the VR SA on nightmare light would be awesome for you since it seems you don't have an out of party buffer.

For PVP VR isnt that great IMHO but some people beg to differ. I would most likely maybe go for DC light set for PVP for the increased p.atk and atk.speed.

Hope this helped

I'm a 7x summoner. When I eventually get A grade armor I'll get nightmare light, mostly for the +MDEF, especially if somehow I managed to get +6. I'll probably wait until noblesse to do that, though; blue wolf light should take me up through my third class/subclassing.

My "dream setup" is a +6 Nightmare Light set, +4 Tallum Blade*Dark Legion's Edge, and +3-5 unsealed Tateossian jewelry.

3 Dex doesn't do [censored] to your crit rate. As a human mage, you aren't going to evade anything.

VR is worthless in PvP unless you're a Destroyer or Tyrant, most other classes use specials or bows to kill.

+6 is out of the equation, those are generally for end game players.

Over all, I personally think Blue Wolf light, Majestic light and NM light are good choices if you want to go the light route.

BW has a very nice casting speed boost and has higher P. Def than Doom.

Majestic light lets you hunt for a lot longer since you're able to carry an additional 5k of pet SS or 2.5k of B-SS.

NM gives you some nice PvP bonuses and a VR effect for PvE.

eh, doom light, for me at least, was more about the run speed and, to a lesser degree, attack speed. a human mystic has a 121 run speed, meaning even with ww I tend to lag behind everyone else.

thanks, everyone. looks like I am thinking along the right lines. NM light IF I can find the helmet recipe cheaply (yeah, right), stick with my doom light otherwise.

(and yeah, I was thinking of a Focus'ed A weapon. or maybe a health one. eh, luck of the draw, whatever I can find cheap, or get through the A grade quests. not as important.)
