@sylprate
I'm guessing you are transitioning from elemental to holy right now based on your profs...
Assuming you are going divine:
perfect Legendary Curse-Weaver gear is worse than decent exq+ Heimdall/Fenrir etc... even if it were 5pabs it doesn't make up for 20-30% Spell damage bonus... you have 2 curse-weavers, thats 40-60% less damage than you *could* be doing...
same with staff if you want to do elem swap out heaven-sent for elem gear (surtr, freyr, etc). else get a heim/heaven-sent staff, because thats another 30-60% less divine damage that you *could* be doing...
the idea is; you want as much spell damage bonus/proficiency for your primary spell(s) as you can get...
I made my elemental --> divine/forb transition much later than you so I felt a much bigger initial dmg drop...once you get your profs back to level, things will get better...
things I would consider: dropping the soul spells (build up your divine/and or forbidden first) dropping most of the elems (maybe keep one for holy resistants) get banish/purge (you want a low cost spell to get your profs up)
and spirit tanks help because SoL costs 50% *base* spirit. so if you get 17 points in spirit tanks, thats +51% or 1 extra spark. also for random encounters sometimes I purposely proc SoL so I can get a few turns of freedom (instead of healing).

Thank you for all of your answers, really.
What can I do for equipment estimation?
I found wiki page already, I can just select type of equip.
I will find new katalox staff and phase something Heimdall or Fenrir, is it right?
I know that PAB and MDB are important, but I don't know exactly estimate that, also I used script that show basic stat of equipment, I can't use it well.
Is anything source for estimation for equip? Honestly I can't understand max or some numeric things that you guys says to equipment.

@sylprate: You miss one thing, each triggering SoL gives you CLoak of The Fallen - a huge reduction of incoming DMG (3-4 rounds). What's more Spirit Tank increase the number of SoL which you can have before you have to resort to Spirit Elixir/Potion = more slots for mana potions. I also forgot to mention that the bigger Spirit Tank you have, the lesser Spirit Gems got wasted during your runs = you have some safe buffer between full Spirit bar and 0.

For mages best option is magic scores, really, as it shows how it will affect your damage. Things such as evade or DEX and AGI are secondary although they can greatly increase gear value if the rest of the stats are good.
letmegitdat: More like crude+.

Thanks for all.
I'm installed magic score, It doesn't work, though.

Is anything source for estimation for equip? Honestly I can't understand max or some numeric things that you guys says to equipment. You already have a script that shows the base stats, right? Take those base stats, and then compare them to the ones here. (IMG:[ s12.postimg.org] http://s12.postimg.org/o6rifue8d/Untitled.png) The numbers under where I boxed are the maximum stats for Superior equipments, and the maximum stats for the other ones are on the side as you can see.

i play as a mage and i hate monsters with high evade and resist. what can i do to hit them more consistently on the first volley? yes, i know about focus, bu i cannot use it before using the first volley because i would take too much damage.
is magic accuracy the only thing i need? i have a staff with decent counter resist, but it doesn't help much.
how much should i have to hit more consistently at my level (i mostly play at hell difficulty right now).

For Evade, more Magic Accuracy. Either better gear (Exq+ Phase tends to have high Accuracy just as a side benefit of the screwy quality formula for Phase), or Aether Shards for another 50%. If you get over 200% then those 20+ AGI Avions stop being such a problem.
For Resist, there's fuck all we can do. 10% CR is all we can get (and that just knocks a 10% resist mob to 9%, not 0%). MagNet removes resist at 250, but you have to get through resist to land it. Ditto Sleep.

my equip isn't that good and i only have 145% magic accuracy right now. but the problem is mostly resist. so there is nothing i can do save for focusing at the right time i guess.

Bleh. I put AGI on par with STR and DEX now that it's been nerfed; use the leftover points for the occasional extra INT and WIS.

This might be old but I am noticing a slight problem with my Q, W, E keys when I am using the firefox add on. It seems the PABs disappear when I use those keys so I can't compare them. They don't disappear from the item, they just disappear when I try to see their bases and compare them. Do I need some sort of update?

Yes, now not-so-recent patch changed the html formatting so it fails to find them. This post has been edited by Lement: Apr 1 2013, 05:15

Some what of a strangeity...
Ever since i boosted scavenger up from level 28 to 30, I noticed that I've been getting less equipment per same number of runs. At the same time, I've also been getting superior, and fine equipment then I did before; dropping way back down into the crude and fair; with an occasional average.
/rant...
that doesn't seem right...
