Since the post-patch, Threre was changes to wizards (and classes in general) Nowadays, I’ve decided to improve my gear and reach high amounts of magic attack with my PyroEleLock. That’s why I want to check items in terms of viability (since there a lot of out dated threads) .
- Animus - This item used to be quite popular back then with full con builds (and probably people who pvp). But haven’t really followed it around. Is it still recommendable to use this as a “BiS” necklace and can serve as an alternative to Peta/Max Peta?
If we do some math here (Correct me if I’m wrong :o)
Animus gives 32 magic attack and takes 40% of hp recovery into magic amplification.
I currently have 330ish HP recovery.
330*0.40 = 132 magic amplification
So from what I’ve researched, You divide magic amplification by 2 to get its average which kinda acts like magic attack so~
132/2 = 66 will be the average.
In total (by adding the magic attack and average) it gives me atleast 98 magic attack (so its kinda equates to 49 INT).
Feel free to add some feedback as I’m really interested.

Armor - Currently, I’m using Elkosh set which gives good defense and some good amount of INT (since it’s a level 220 item.) However, I’m wondering if the War mage equips can compete with this set. Considering that in all equips, it gives 30+ INT, Some SP and SPR. and what’s best in this that it doesn’t really require a “set” effect compared to Elkosh. Meaning you can diversify your armor choices, The bad thing is that it really has low defense values and requires gems to make it par with 270+ defense equips. Should I stick with elkosh? Go min-max with war mage? (Lolopanther would be 100% good BiS, but what can be a good placeholder or just to stick with?)
-
Weapon - Obviously we all know that 315+ orange recipes totally beat purple recipes. But since I’m not into hardcore farming materials 24/7 with DPK that can take one week and the possibility of destorying the weapon, I’m sticking with the purple recipes.
Viena mace - This is generally recommended to people since it gives a lot of m.atk and give survivability, However, How will this affect future content (especially for sorcerers/necromancers and future classes scale at SPR?)
Viena Staff - The difference of the m.atk are minuscule but gives SPR, Only difference that it doesn’t allow you to equip shields. How does it co-exist with Vena Mace?
So which might be possible good?
