Like honestly, i have no idea.
I’ve been playing Wizard till 50 and cleric up to 35, but only thing that really mattered to me was my weapon, as for gear, i would literally wear pieces of plate and leather on either of them.
What do you guys suggest as equipment sets for the above mentioned classes?
How important really are they to bother at that level?
They spoonfeeed you eough equipment from quests early on. Dont worry about grinding eqs till like lv120
Edit: to clarify why, you simply lv too quickly from 40 to 120 to justify investing in those eqs. Do keep some eqs with good stats tho ex… con, spr, +matk etc… I still use some lv75 eqs at 130+
Eventually tho you might need to return to those lower lv rare eqs for crafting purposes.
I say plate for both. You can wear cloth with you wiz so you’ll have a little SP and recovery boost but at my opinion it’s not worth it. Plate with HP and stamina benefits and defence improvement are much better.
At 75 there are some pieces that increase magic damage, i do prefer cloth for magic-type classes, the one that i use leather tho is my sadhu since i need lots of evasion for out of body skill.
I’m lvl 105 actually and I wear 3 piece of plate and 1 piece cloth (the gloves for magic amplification). Wizard tree
If you further down in the higher area you will notice cloth add more benefit stats for magic caster than plate itself…
Mages don’t melee much and they can bunny hop attack without the monsters hitting them so reduce 15% physical damage to them is like wasted unless mage use sword to deal low melee damage…
While cloth is the vice visa of plate which reduce 15% on magic damage and it’s come with magic defend with some SP added…
Come to the conclusion, plate adding minor HP with non related stats for caster is not really benefiting compare using cloth… Never do mix 3 pieces with 1 different kind of armor which will lose you 10% of reduction damage in higher level map…
Pretty much summed up, but plate and HP bonus could be good for a linker to absorb some damage from the group using Physical Def Link, i used a build based on that for a while, level 40-55, not that much viable tbh, i dont know if the skill is working as intended but oh well reverted back to INT X SPR 50 build, and i do prefer cloth on casters, like you said, caster is not supposed to take hits, hit-and-run tactics work well for them, i have most cloth on mine, still looking for other pieces, and i do well, i’m having lots of fun with Wiz C2 > Linker C2 right now, and i cant wait to reach Rank 5 for Sorcerer.
I farmed two cafrisun sets. Friebd said its good till 70
Oddly enough yes, i’m playing with that set too.
I just like its bonus health regen.
