Hey guys, right now my character has about 90str and 64int,
Someone said to me that if you focus on str you should wear a garment and use a glaive...

Which you think best fits me if my str is 90 and int 64?
a) Armor - Spear/glaive
b) Armor+protector - Spear/glaive
c) Garment - glaive
d) Garment - spear

please consider your best thought,

thank you 8) 8) 8) 8)

Garments are useful for PvP since they reduce the magic damage you take. PvE's a bit of a judgement call since you use a glaive. If you kill the mobs very quickly, use a garment. If you kill them more slowly, use protector.

The big reason to use garments for PvE is for the speed boost and reduction of mana cost of skills, but if you're standing toe-to-toe with a mob for any significant amount of time, you start losing more HP and it's not worth it.

A quick-killing glaive user can probably get the best benefit from garments, but as I said, if it takes you a bit longer, use protector. Armor's too slow and drains your mana too quickly, imo. Armor looks cool though, and can offer good protection for a sword user w/o ice. ;)

Another factor is whether or not you use ice or some sort of ranged attack opener. If you use either ice or a nuke to start your fights, you'll probably benefit most from garments since the target will do less damage to you (either from being partially dead, or from being chilled).

Another thing to take into account is your phys/magical balance, since high physical balance reduces your damage intake from physical.

My suggestion is to get a set of each type of armor and try it out. I find that I take too much damage while wearing garments, so I switched to armor. With armor, however, I expend my mana too quickly. Protector is a happy medium for me right now, but that may change later as my balance changes.

I think yur opinion is right, but actually armors don't look "good" for female characters...

I think using Protector is a very smooth and safe way. However though I also have an idea. For those of you guys who expirience a similar situation like me, i suggest yu have two sets of Armor. For a PvE, just use your Protector (not ARMOR) so that your Dmg gaining and Mana loss is balanced. For a PvP use your Garment to fight player or npc enemies so that you don't gain much damage from their Magic attacks and you move faster. Basically i find PvP in a situation where you wear your Job identity item outside safe areas (puts the thief outfit, merchant flag, or the hunters identification). So when you're in your job identification, i suggest use Garment.

Thanks for the opinion btw :) :)
