There are 2 things that I dont like of virtov cloth:
a) it is NOT hasta. Hasta cloth is atm the most amazing set in the game, it gives you +31magic def a peace on top of high physical def couz he has high item lvl, while cloth virtov physical def sucks
b) the best boots and gloves for archers atm are leather (wind runner, virtov vubbe, soul chaser gloves) forcing you to give up those or the bonus set (which is totally fine, one of the best PvPers of our server run with lolo plate top+bottom, wind runner and solmiki cloth gloves on his PD2, for example)
I chosed to stick with 4/4 leather, since with my headslots + pet I needed 0 extra HP at 0 Con invested on both hacka and SR. Leather bonus is horrible but better then nothing and kinda counter the evasion on wind runner (plus I do like the +20magic def of virtov leather pants).
On my Inqui I instead use virtov plate top // bottom and I give up set bonuses (good solution if you need HP as well, luckily for me my headslots are pretty good).
Talking about HP, I do find kinda funny how you claim 6k+HP from pet are useless while u have a red gem on the bottom over yellow
Btw this is my switchable gear between my alts
Both SR and Hacka are good to go with 0 con and 20k HP, with 1k magic def // phisical def and evasion not considering main hand // off hand. I also do own 4/4 virtov leather, 4/4 virtov plate and 4/4 grinas but honestly I never switch them to min/max, is more annoying then anything else given my standard set up.
I just do switch plate top when Iām vs strike archers if they do damage: game coding is horrible, remember that income damage ONLY check your TOP armor for malus//bonuses, so always run with 1x cloth/leather/plate TOP no matter what.
On a side note: I do like gladiators given how much cheap they are to upgrade, even if Iām incredibly unlucky with jewels upgrade (if somebody else has burned a max peta before +10 we can share the pain I guess) they are easy to upgrade at +10 covering the low lvl malus on magic def. I donāt like Phada, since it make you lose block pen vs the inbuild str of gladiators and gives you -90 evasion, unless you value magic def much higher and you have the wallet to enchant them at least at +7 to make them good vs +10gladiators.
I do see every day people with lvl 6 gems and +3 enchant, which is an absurbly bad ratio on how to invest your silver, IMO, so as a general suggestion try always to think how much you gain from upgrading jewels/armor before jumping the āMUST HAVEā lvl 6 gems train. On main hand & off hand MINIMUM +6 gems are a must have for sure, instead
Talking about cards, I was wondering which direction we should take after the nerf to a maximum of 5x glassmole stacking. @nicola any brainstorm about this one? I was thinking 5x glassmole 3x nuaele to be honest, with the side call of 3x elleganos if you need crit rate.
