lvl 53 Warlock/Cleric What Should i Wear?
Light Armor Or Robe ?

Light Armor for the cleric passives.

do u think i should really wear light armor or robe for the Mag rein?

I'd wear LA. Since your already int you have pretty good mag def, and the cleric passives are awesome. + Most of the mobs you'll be fighting will use phy attacks, so LA would be the best for that as well.

Although, if you can find a really good robe set then go with that. Since it'll cut down on your mp consumption and locks eat MP for breakfast. If not then stick to LA.

The passive only works with the cleric rod.

I don't know if this is what you were thinking, but magical reinforcement does not increase your damage. It only further increases your magical defense.


Yes, but they (the passives) are still useful if you find yourself in a hard situation, as you can switch to cleric rod and heal yourself (or, if PvE, tank). You need to have a full set of light armor and be wearing a cleric rod for the Glory passives to trigger.


It's up to you. Robe will further increase your healing abilities (through Faith passive, which requires you to be wearing a full robe set with cleric rod) while noticeably decreasing your MP consumption. Light armor will improve your physical defense (which you lack as a INT) and make you able to switch to cleric rod and get extra defense from the Glory passives. Don't forget that warlock + cleric skills consume a lot of MP.

Robe for grinding. Locl/cleric costs mana like mad, and without the 10% MP reduction from robe compared to LA, you may find youself drinking vigors for mana quite often.

When PVP, LA is probably the best. Lock/cleric's worst enemy is a rogue or warrior sub cleric, and maybe good bower or blader/glavier with force, most of these builds are physical based, so LA will help quite a bit when PVP.

well i have bought a good LA set 5 spices SOS its good for both grinding and PVP but im now burning MP alot

I think that LA is the best choice at the highest levels but till level 80 you are still able to choose between mobs with physical damage or magical damage. So wearing robes and targetting on mobs with only magical damage will give a plus.

LA seems more appropriate from chin tomb on, so a switch around d9 or d10 is perhaps better.

thats what im planing to do i will switch to robe at D10

i think Taelys meant tht u should switch to LA at 10D lol. My choice was robes only really becuz of the mp usage, tho LA is generally better if u can deal with the mp.
