[X] My Assistant

So I tried out my new Estoc in Cakefest. Conclusions:

1. Using an Ethereal weapon against normal monsters and mini-bosses is a waste of time.
2. Using a 2H weapon without a proc is a waste of time.
3. It makes me lucky.

OK, that last one's probably a coincidence, but I did get two drops in the first 40 rounds.

Fire Fox dropped [Fair Platinum Longsword of Balance]

I have a better one, but I'm sure someone can make use of its 2 turns of Bleeding Wound. Sold.

Fire Fox dropped [Average Platinum-adorned Dragon Hide Boots of Deflection]

I can't see what's so special about these - except for the price. In the shop, yours for only 8130 credits.

You have an ethereal estoc O_O?

Yes. A 2handed weapon without a proc is essentially worthless. I personally think bleed is best, given accuracy, but if but since they generally have long proc times even an estoc with PA is better than nothing.

Dragonhide generally have high mitigations for light armor, good primary bonuses, and cloth-like burden. Kevlar is better. And more rare.

I know. You just have to keep looking in the Shop. Eventually something good will appear.

Dark Skies... Hard..... [Superior Emerald-trimmed Silk Robe of the Fleet]

My first fleet armor, fuck yeah!

Superior Emerald-trimmed Silk Robe of the Fleet
Attack Accuracy Bonus 2.6
Physical Absorption 4.6
Physical Mitigation 1.5
Magical Absorption 4.9
Magical Mitigation 1.3
Evade Chance 8.3
Resist Chance 0.7
Burden 6.4
Level 134 / Slot: Body / Type: Cloth armor

Wish it had some more accuracy bonus and some primary stats, but you can't really argue with 8.3 evade.

Actually, maybe you can. I'm honestly not sure it's worth wearing over:

Exquisite Emerald-trimmed Silk Robe of Warding
Attack Accuracy Bonus 3.4
Physical Absorption 4.2
Physical Mitigation 1.2
Magical Absorption 7.8
Magical Mitigation 2.0
Evade Chance 5.3
Burden 4.1
Primary Attribute Bonuses
Dexterity 7.5
Level 128 / Slot: Body / Type: Cloth armor

Which makes me really sad. Can I like fuse these two together? Get myself some fleet robe with high magic absorption and +7.5 DEX?

Uth, Gillian, and people like you, what are your opinions on which of these two are better? Is 7.5 DEX and a higher magic absorb worth more than 3evade and 1resist?

Really wish it was some other piece of armor, maybe silk gloves of the fleet or something. *sigh* Can never catch a break >_>

I'd say use the Exquisite robes if you think you need more accuracy/dmg, since dex is primarily attack accuracy, dmg, and crit; and it has more accuracy then the fleet robes anyway.
Use the fleet if you think your taking too much dmg since it has more evade and the resist, that 3 magic absorb and .7 magic mitgation difference is more then made up for my the little bit of physical absorb and mitigation more the fleet has and the evade/resist.

Thanks for the advice. Going with the fleet.

Endgame - Hard: [Average Emerald-trimmed Cotton Cap of Protection]... sells for 400C. :\

npced these two since I have a 21% 2 turn ether theft staff, the 21% ether theft 1 turn I found a while ago, the 18% ether theft 1 turn I found yesterday, thought it was a katana of some sort but then found out it's a staff :P :

These silk pants totally replaced my leather ones as they have better stats, better evasion and less burden/interference (you can imagine what kind of crappy leather pants I was wearing before...). The selling price at the equip store would be 1,087 credits, but I figured it would be better to wear these... besides, it's a good way to improve cotton armor proficiency.

I actually like the one you sold earlier. It had similar INT/WIS bonuses and all 6 magic prof, bonuses. Although yours is great for Power Mage/AoE Bombing Hourlies and early Arenas.
