Really delayed response but... meh! Here was my set-up on my curently retired and previously existing Spellhowlers.

Ridicule me if you must but i will explain my reasons later:

Armor:
+4/3/3/3 Majestic Robe Set

Weapon/Offhand:
+4 Sword of Miracles [Acumen]
*NO SHIELD* (The clipping whilst casting annoys the hell out of me).

Jewellery:
+4 Majestic Jewellery Set

Tattoos:
+4INT -4MEN
+4WIT -4MEN
+4DEX -4STR

Accessories:
Artisan Goggles


Before I Begin!
First of all, pardon any rudeness whilst i make this statement perfectly clear... If anyone wishes to conjure any flames in regards to my choice then quite frankly i don't care, nor do i care for your suggestions, or personal opinions on what you think i 'should' do; or in fact if you think i am 'stupid' or 'noob'.


Explanation:

~ Like many sets Majestic offers a very nice +15% Casting Speed bonus.

~ Majestic Robe is the ONLY Armor Set that offers additional MP.

~ It also offers a significantly noticable +8% MP Regeneration Rate which is a godsend if you decide to solo/duo for PvE.

~ Being Majestic, it offers the formidable +50% Stun Resistance statistic, which not only is substantial in PvE but consequential to survival in PvP.

~ I am fully aware that Majestic lowers INT by -1 but this does not matter, i have a +4INT tattoo that more than compensates my loss (oh boo hoo i have 1 less INT).

~ My +4 Majestic Jewellery Set counterbalances my M.Def loss from the -8MEN.

~ Using Majestic over Nightmare Robe allows me to keep a much faster casting speed, which personally i prefer over M.Atk. Slightly less damage-per-hit and a more hasty cast beats slower casting speed for more power... especially in the case of being the first to cast Silence against another nuker.

. . . So what about Dark Crystal? First of all for both PvP and PvE i would rather have:

+50% Stun Resistance, +240MP, and +8% MP Regen

over

P. Def. +8%, Speed +7, Small decrease in chance of spell interruption, +50% Paralysis Resistance

The extra P.Def is kinda redundant, if your in a party you generally stay out of the way. When your in PvP then if your gunna get hit by spike damage, it's gunna hurt either way. Predominantly, against a melee class your debuffs should be your saviour from even letting your enemy come close to you.

+7Speed is neither here nor there, i can live without it.

The other 2 stats i wont even bother to go into detail, despite how annoying Paralysis can be.

. . . and last but definitely not least, Dark Crystal, i think, its absolutely vile. It is a very unattractive armor set and just looks horrid.


ENJOY! ^_^

:P Of course you graciously skipped the real reason people wear the DC set, but more power to fashion *******! Maj looks hot. ;)

[Aspecti]

Weapon:
+3 SoM acu

Armor:
DC robes + sealed NM shield

Jewels:
Unsealed Majestic

Tattoos:
+4 INT +4 WIT +4 CON, -8 MEN -4 STR

Sorry Eggy, but I will argue ^^
With pretty normal buffs, SE+PP, here are the stat comparisons at lvl 76:

DC robes:
HP 4109
CP 1534
MP 3605
P.Atk. 424
M.Atk. 2110
P.Def. 637
M.Def. 846
Accuracy 108
Evasion 92
Critical 107
Speed 173
Atk. Spd. 560
Casting Spd. 870

Majestic robes:
HP 4109
CP 1534
MP 3979
P.Atk. 424
M.Atk. 2024
P.Def. 626
M.Def. 868
Accuracy 108
Evasion 92
Critical 107
Speed 166
Atk. Spd. 560
Casting Spd. 788

So yeah the m.atk difference isn't big, but the casting speed IS a pretty **** big difference. Mana regen difference is 1 mana/tick. 18.1 with Maj and 17.1 with DC(while standing ofc, mana regen is slower when sitting actually).

I don't need to call you stupid or noob or tell you what to do. But it is also rude and disrespectful to just blatant write your own opinion and not "caring" about other peoples advice or tips. This is a forum board, by posting here you do care.

Now let me explain you why your "fashion" Spellhowler will see the ground more often then your enemy. Since we both know the armor bonusses lets get down to the point. Oh and before I start this is both aimed to PVP and PVE.

The mana bonus from Majestic has no meaning. You are obviously talking about regeneration rate and your mana pool. Guess what, in PVP they are useless. In PVE they are to be ignored cause with walking mode and b2m you will regenerate fast enough. The only good thing about majestic robe is the stun resistance. Since us Dark elfs lack CON we get stunned left and right.

DC gives you vital +2 WIT. Since SH's lack WIT extremely you cannot avoid this. It also amazes me you do not talk about this in your post. Shows actually your rude ignorance.

DC Set gives you +7 speed not needed ? Do you actually chase your enemies when PVPing? It also gets you from mob/location A to B faster.

Pdef is what all matters in this game for us SHs. You are a spellhowler aka Shooting glasscannon. The higher Pdef you achieve the higher your survival rate in PVP. I see clearly here you lack the PVP expirience. This is not chronicle 2 anymore you know.

The 50% paralyze resistance might not be that superb in PVP but it saves you from those nasty paralysis attack from both mobs and annoying necromancers or blade dancers.

The stun resistance is only attractive bonus on Majestic. Aside from that it is obviously more like a healer set. In PVE You don't get stunned that often. And even if you do it is not critical since you won't die that easy to mobs.

As aspecti says when you buff yourself completetly up then you will see the true difference between Majestic and Dark crystal.

Also in mage vs mage fights you would lose from every Dark crystal mage in equal level. Cause he/she would interupt you nonstop cause you are too slow with your casting.

Enjoy !

I am fully aware that you get a faster casting speed with DC Robes (+2WIT which as MalineII kindly pointed out, i forgot to mention), my comment in regards to cast speed was in comparison to NM Robes ^_^

I am not denying that DC is a good set, or in fact saying that Majestic is any better statistically, i myself would rather have the MP Regen and MP Bonus, as i notice the difference in Regen significantly, especially solo (and yes SH do regenerate MP faster standing than sitting).

More importantly DC just looks horrid and i would never wear it, and based on that principle alone i preferred Maj over DC. Statistically however i chose Maj over NM.

I may not have chose what is considered to be the 'best' set but i haven't chose the worst either; in terms of stats, appearance or otherwise. . .

and i also do just fine in PvP (^.~)

Obviously you failed to understand that sentence, i said "If anyone wishes to conjure any flames in regards to my choice" then i do not wish to pay attention to their suggestions. I am always open to suggestions, including yours but i refuse to listen to anyone who would flat-out disregard my reasons for doing as such.

I also said "pardon my rudeness".


"The only good thing about majestic robes is the stun resistance"

That is personal opinion... therefore your comment is disregarded.


"DC gives you vital +2 WIT. Since SH's lack WIT extremely you cannot avoid this. It also amazes me you do not talk about this in your post. Shows actually your rude ignorance."

The only ignorant person here is you, i clearly stated i was using +WIT tats. . . READ!

In addition to that MalineII also pointed out that i failed to mention the +2WIT on DC, i forgot to mention it, pretty easy mistake to make tbh, and my talk about cast speed was only relevant to NM and NOT DC.


"DC Set gives you +7 speed not needed ? Do you actually chase your enemies when PVPing? It also gets you from mob/location A to B faster."

lol? I dont know about you but i generally stay within the same radius when im killing mobs, i barely have to move at all, and +7 Speed will make it 'slightly' faster. My friend, an SE... buffs WW so im not exactly slow either. As for 'do i chase my mobs in PvP'... 1 on 1... no not really.


"Pdef is what all matters in this game for us SHs. You are a spellhowler aka Shooting glasscannon. The higher Pdef you achieve the higher your survival rate in PVP. I see clearly here you lack the PVP expirience. This is not chronicle 2 anymore you know."

hahahahahaha ^_^ yes a higher P.Def will make survival 'slightly' more viable but as i said if ur gunna get hit hard... your gunna get hit hard, regardless of +8% P.Def; and also as i said SH debuffs are the key to reducing damage you take even further.

As for your comment about me having little PvP experience, firstly you have no grounds to base that opinion on, and secondly you are just plain wrong.


"The 50% paralyze resistance might not be that superb in PVP but it saves you from those nasty paralysis attack from both mobs and annoying necromancers or blade dancers."

I also pointed put that Paralysis can be annoying, but Stun is far more common.


"Aside from that it is obviously more like a healer set."

Obviously.


"In PVE You don't get stunned that often. And even if you do it is not critical since you won't die that easy to mobs."

Go to cata's or necro's much? AoE stuns are rife!

Also the mobs purposefully break agro from DD's and Tanks to stun mages specifically, before casually returning to their original target.


"As aspecti says when you buff yourself completetly up then you will see the true difference between Majestic and Dark crystal."

I am also fully aware of the differences... please now read my second post.


"Also in mage vs mage fights you would lose from every Dark crystal mage in equal level. Cause he/she would interupt you nonstop cause you are too slow with your casting."

I haven't lost against every Dark Crystal user... so again you are wrong, and for your information i have tried both sets... so i know the capabilities of both armor sets, i am positive you cannot say the same about trying Majestic.

. . . and it's lose TO every mage, not lose FROM. . . grammar please!

Your response is also jaundiced as you failed to make any comparison with the likes of Nightmare Robes either.

~ A game is supposed to be fun and the sooner people realise that, the better. It's not about who can be the best at absolutely everything; there is also more to Lineage II than just PvP.

~ I think it's fun and kinda cute to wear Maj and realistically, i'm not left as 'gimped' as you seem to imagine.


I NEVER claimed Maj was better than DC... that much was all in your head. I merely said i prefer Maj, if you dont then that is your choice.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Eggy ^_^

[_Charmille_]

Dont drag grammar into an argument when you're talking with non-native speakers. Or would you rather have them post in their own language and laugh at you for your total lack of language skills then?

Then, to your post :)

You hunt in Cata/Necro? O.o Thats something akin to using Maj robes on a nuker. Only _very_ few do that. Might explain why you need stun resist tho, but for the majority of nukers who frequent places like VoS, FotD, BS it isnt really that important. Runspeed however is since the mobs are not packed tight enough to allow you the luxury of standing still like you might do in a catacomb. Runspeed is also vital in open field PVP, which I think Hele has the most experience of us all here. Being one of the old Pretorians and now in ITT, he's had more than enough PVP.

Conclusion is that both your hunting area and set is way different from the norm, hence why it feels so strange to pretty much everyone else. Your choice, have fun.

[Iffy]

You are correct about everything, my grammar comment was nothing more than a little temper tantrum. I have read many of your posts _Charmille_ and respect your bringing of this to my notice.

As i have said many a time, i don't disrespect any of those who wish to use Dark Crystal, and i don't doubt for a second the PvP experience Helepol1s has; it is just frustrating when someone fails to listen reason.

I myself have used Dark Crystal for a considerable amount of time, however i just couldn't bare it's appearance and searched for an alternative and honestly, Maj is not a bad substitute.

I am 'atypical' to your everyday player, i like to do unusual things, not to be different, just to make my experience all the more enjoyable.

"Runspeed is also vital in open field PVP"

Of course but i personally, do not participate in open-field PvP much (mainly just arenas), and i generally have WW so it's not of great loss to me ^_^

I also have a Strider if i need to run from place to place, which is a rare occurence but that is going off-topic.

Statistically Dark Crystal IS the better set and i never denied that. . . it's just not for me.

. . . but to say:

"Now let me explain you why your "fashion" Spellhowler will see the ground more often then your enemy."

and

"I see clearly here you lack the PVP expirience."

I find those statements kinda insulting, and ultimately as a fact, they aren't necessarily true either.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Eggy ^_^

[Helepol1s]

Yes excuse me for my grammar. For being dutch, english isn't my native language and I do my best to write as much as possible correct english.

And oh, you don't nessecary have to "bring the post to me" in PM. I am not a person who hits "reply" and never looks back again. It is more insulting then me insulting you by the last two quotes you made in your post. Infact, discussions such these just draw me to forums. Now from english 101 to lineage 101.

You still don't understand the major difference between DC and Majestic. Correct me if wrong but from looking at your 1st post about your preference for Majestic: You are explaining your personal balance in both PVE and PVP. My only point was to inform you about the real usage of Dark Crystal robes which you terribly ignore. Your choice but I cannot let you go by simply thinking you know it all better.

I have 4 years of Spell Howler knowledge behind me and guess what ? I still have not learned all. Every chronicle things change and you need to adapt.

Name 1 skill that [u]reduces damage[u] a SH can use. I asume you mean reducing as in "disabling or preventing" the enemy from performing normal rate of damage. If so, you can ignore this part.
You always get hit hard if you don't gear / buff proper. It depends on your setup. I don't know about you but I mostly get over 1000 pdef in group pvp.

Well winning in majestic is possible but alot of factors play a role. The only excuses I can make up is: He/she don't know how to play.
Oh and about set knowledge, I have tried perhaps every possible set for a mage from Devotion to Major Arcana. You know I also once thought about going for Majestic rather then Dark crystal, just because of the stun resistance. But after loaning the set from my friend I concluded DC was more suitable for both PVP and PVE. Personal expirience nothing more.

PSS: Though one thing I agree without doubt. We both walk a different road. I PVP more often and you play the game for its unique expirience. No comment about that. So I'll apologise for my temper aswell.

The pm was sent in the moment of temper tantrum (which i have no problems admitting) as you repeatedly continued to ignore the points i was trying to make. Also be aware that bringing the attention of a pm to a live thread is also 'childish'.

I will say this once more, and once more only. . .

I NEVER claimed Maj was better than DC... that much was all in your head. I merely said i prefer Maj, if you dont then that is your choice.

I sincerely hope you fully understand what it is i am actually trying to say this time, so as we can discontinue this needless and petty arguement.

You seem to think that i know not of the benefits of DC when you are in fact totally incorrect, you also seem to think i am disagreeing with your reasons, when in actual fact i was already 100% aware of the points you made.

I look at your first post and the ones after those but still cannot link them together, no matter how many times I read over. I am amazed. Also, I cannot write down the words going on in my mind as reply cause I do not know how to translate them.

Amazing, just amazing.

[Iffy]

It's really not that difficult to understand. I answered all your misgivings quite thoroughly and even quoted you directly.

I am also amazed. I was actually expecting some witty or condescendent response in regards to my reply, whilst simultaneously stating the quite explicitly obvious.

Consistently you have misconstrued any point i was trying to make, in thinking i was disagreeing with any facts you cited; when actually, i was already fully aware of the facts.

This subject is hopeless. I see clearly now that the only reason you responded to my original post was because you took offence to the "Before I Begin" section; which you completely misunderstood, so i'm not in the least bit surprised you are confused now either.

On a side note, English is not my native language either, i just happened to live in the UK for the past 14 years.

Its all about cast speed.

+5 WIT, who cares about CON, your gonna get stunned anyway. Use your boxes as mules or just go back to town as needed for stuff. +6 your DC set and you get extra weight capacity. Baium and Tezza.

DC robes for PVE and small scale PVP. Faster cast speed means more killing, faster skill reset.

Arcana robes for large scale/seige pvp when you have a BD/SWS/EE and ES(optional) in party and when you have Prophecy of Water since you get the cast speed and skill reset bonuses you don't miss the cast speed from DC to Arcana. The 17% matck plus INT bonus is hawt. Pushing 5,000+ MAtck, without echo of empower even, can't wait to see where that takes it.

[txmwg]

Even though I think most of us are aware of this, I didn't see it mentioned.

Dark Crystal Robe set gives +2 wit AND 15% cast speed. With no negative effects to damage, this is clearly the PvP set of choice for nukers.

If you're buying robes for PvE, get a demon set and call it a day. Make a macro and switch into them from Dark Crystal when your MP goes below your max that it would be with demon on. The +4 int makes you a much more efficient nuker for not much money. With overhit, you don't have to worry as much about overnuking the mobs.

An extra 240MP really isn't worth it. At level 75+ your main nukes cost around 70MP a pop, that's just a little over 3 extra nukes. I think you're more likely to benefit from casting faster than having a little extra mana. -1 int could be the difference between life and death, especially in PvP. I understand you get regen from the Majestic set as well, but it's just not enough to justify the loss of matk and cast speed when compared to Dark Crystal.

My current setup:
+4 int / -4 men
+4 wit / -4 men
+4 con / -4 str

Ohmigosh! Finally people that 'agree' with me about Robe Armor on high level SH/StS. I had an argument in my former clan recently about going Maj Robe over DC Robe on a SH, people countered that with 'u r.****' and 'quite l2 kthnxbye' I eventually cursed the -insert word- out of them and logged my alter. The NM Robe on a SH/StS is something new for me. Really need to test that out on PTS someday.

I noticed someone saying Maj Robe is more of a healer set, but my friend, who is playing a lv7x SE, wearing Maj Robe with +4WIT-5MEN Dyes + Homu Acu, has the same setup as my non-Dyed EE in BW w/ CrysStaff ManaUp. But the greater manapool does the trick really.

[Glimmer]

I have a 66 SH, Just curious if Tallum Robes are worth trying?
I have DC robes now and a spirit eye w/acum no plusses yet.
+6.6 Matk, +9.3 Crit augment on the eye.
+4Int -4Men, +4Con -4Str, +4Wit -4Men tatts.

[Champa]

I'm thinking, no. It's possibly viable for pvp vs other mages because of the m.def bonus, but I'd stick with DC. Unless you have money for both sets, which I guess you don't, judging on your weapon.
What are your reasons for considering tallum?

[SoulCrusher]

No I really cant afford both sets, and I guess I shouldnt even be thinking of experimenting with the tallum and just stick with DC.
As far as my weapon goes, Spirit eye with acum for under 70M vs a SoM clean for nothing less than 100M.
Maybe some day down the road I will get one :)

the tats you get at early levels really depends on how you will be playing ... Do you plan to grind in catas to lvl ? Low hp mobs ? Do you have any form of support boxed buffer? as for your weapon for best results it normally goes

i am about to transfer to SH, C class :)

any advice from you guys who oviously know more what is the best robe set for C class nuker? :)

thank you in advance!

PS- dear god i hope it is NOT robe of seal

[Tiffy]

For C-Grade I used Demon set, it was awesome, it gives to your Mattk (+4 INT)

However, Karmian is also a great set for SH, because we have the slowest casting speed & it adds 15% faster casting!

It's all in your preference!

With newbie buffs now, you have emp & acumen, so either way you go is good!

Demon: strong attack

Karmian: fast casting

The plus side to both these sets, is if you can't afford BG (Avadon) for your SH or you want to save up for AG (DC Robes) you can use both Karmian & Demon right up to AG & still level perfectly fine!

Have fun, SH is an amazing class! :)

[MyStiQ]

ohh thank you!

i am glad to hear Demon is the on the top of the line, i was secretly hoping it is, because i am a fashion addict and i refuse to stare at a character for hours if i do not like the looks ^.^

i guess it is worth investing in non-common C grade set to + it up alittle, since they can be used till A grade, which i heard is expensive, so i will probably have hard time saving up for it.

Also, can SH wear Light armor in case if i want to go to the catacombs on my own for some reason? if yes, what kind (among the C grade) should i get as alt set?

Being a female in RL, I'm the exact same way. I hate grinding a character if I can't stand the way they look! Lol *I can't help it*

Karmian & Demon set both look AWESOME on an SH!

Dark Crystal (AG), at first I HATED the set, & then I actually got use to it & started to like it. :)

However with common, I don't think you can, + any of it. I also don't think, you will get the set bonus from common gear.
I wouldn't worry about +++ing CG or BG. I would save money to invest in AG. (It is expensive) I had to sell my Homu, my BG Blue Wolf robes, some enhance weapon & armour scrolls etc.. just to save up & get it..

A nuker isn't really meant to wear light armour sets. Especially an SH.
You wont get the set bonus you need from a light set, compared to a robe set & weather If your SH is in light or robe, it wont make enough difference for her to survive.
You might not see it as much in the lower levels, but an SH is all about POWER!!!!
We are meant to kill the object first, before it can get close to us!
No need to get a light armour set!

You might not see it as much in the lower levels, but an SH is all about POWER!!!!
We are meant to kill the object first, before it can get close to us!
No need to get a light armour set!

i am not a fan of the look od the DC robes.... yet i LOVE the Apella and Tallum.... knowing me ill probably end up closing my eyes on stats and getting what i think looks best.. :confused:

well see when i get there, for now i will just enjoy the Demon eye candy and try not to think about it till time comes lol

thank you very much for your advice tough. i will still get a set of common Rind Mail just to run around in towns in and pretend to be a fighter class =P

You buy 10 of the +4/-4 tats from Mammon Trader. 10 dyes = 1 tat. Max of 3 tats. There are lots of different +/- tats. Some of the higher lvl towns sell +4-5 but I'd only get those if you have no other choice or -5 something you don't need...Like my -5 STR on a Mage. Yes I so need that STR to beat on the mobs...

[DarkMystiq]

Really delayed response but... meh! Here was my set-up on my curently retired and previously existing Spellhowlers.

Ridicule me if you must but i will explain my reasons later:

Armor:
+4/3/3/3 Majestic Robe Set

Weapon/Offhand:
+4 Sword of Miracles [Acumen]
*NO SHIELD* (The clipping whilst casting annoys the hell out of me).

Jewellery:
+4 Majestic Jewellery Set

Tattoos:
+4INT -4MEN
+4WIT -4MEN
+4DEX -4STR

Accessories:
Artisan Goggles


Before I Begin!
First of all, pardon any rudeness whilst i make this statement perfectly clear... If anyone wishes to conjure any flames in regards to my choice then quite frankly i don't care, nor do i care for your suggestions, or personal opinions on what you think i 'should' do; or in fact if you think i am 'stupid' or 'noob'.


Explanation:

~ Like many sets Majestic offers a very nice +15% Casting Speed bonus.

~ Majestic Robe is the ONLY Armor Set that offers additional MP.

~ It also offers a significantly noticable +8% MP Regeneration Rate which is a godsend if you decide to solo/duo for PvE.

~ Being Majestic, it offers the formidable +50% Stun Resistance statistic, which not only is substantial in PvE but consequential to survival in PvP.

~ I am fully aware that Majestic lowers INT by -1 but this does not matter, i have a +4INT tattoo that more than compensates my loss (oh boo hoo i have 1 less INT).

~ My +4 Majestic Jewellery Set counterbalances my M.Def loss from the -8MEN.

~ Using Majestic over Nightmare Robe allows me to keep a much faster casting speed, which personally i prefer over M.Atk. Slightly less damage-per-hit and a more hasty cast beats slower casting speed for more power... especially in the case of being the first to cast Silence against another nuker.

. . . So what about Dark Crystal? First of all for both PvP and PvE i would rather have:

+50% Stun Resistance, +240MP, and +8% MP Regen

over

P. Def. +8%, Speed +7, Small decrease in chance of spell interruption, +50% Paralysis Resistance

The extra P.Def is kinda redundant, if your in a party you generally stay out of the way. When your in PvP then if your gunna get hit by spike damage, it's gunna hurt either way. Predominantly, against a melee class your debuffs should be your saviour from even letting your enemy come close to you.

+7Speed is neither here nor there, i can live without it.

The other 2 stats i wont even bother to go into detail, despite how annoying Paralysis can be.

. . . and last but definitely not least, Dark Crystal, i think, its absolutely vile. It is a very unattractive armor set and just looks horrid.


ENJOY! ^_^

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Eggy ^_^

I gotta agree. DC does look horrid but I'd use it for pve. Basically because you will hardly ever get touched by Lv78 mobs and below. And you're absolutely correct about the Majestic as top choice but add +1wit instead of +4dex.
As a nuker that doesn't have boss jewels, the resist stun bonus out weighs the casting speed bonus of Dark Crystal. Casting speed won't help you much if you're perma-stunned. Then you have to consider the PvP augment bonus. That helps alot more than the p.def bonus of DC. And of course, my opinion is based on personal experiences in A-grade PvP/PvE. Never charge into a battle in this game today in A-grade armor against an opponent with a S-grade weapon. +0 S-grade weapon w/element > +6 DC robes or any other A-grade robe set.

But with that said. I used the same exact gear and won alot more battles in the Majestic Robe set. DC was the choice of the past era (if you had boss jewels) before element was introduced into the game.
