Okay, so some may know lol (confession time, Lesrider certainly knows now)...... but I use hobo gear....on purpose...Call me the lunatic mage that escaped from the crazy tent.
I have collected all of the cosmos set except the robe, but I chose not to use them.(although laser wand is somewhat different). I am not even sure how to explain myself but it has worked very well for me. I hated using the cosmos stuff.
Ok, for the most part I have been wearing the metallic set of brilliance. That’s right you didn’t read that wrong... the green one!(Start poking now)
So here are my reasons, feel free to tell me I'm crazy. I am totally open for discussion and beatings.:)
The mana can’t be beat on any other set. At 15 mana per equip, yea, I hardly ever have to use a pot. This allows me to nuke and heal everything. Now regen time isn’t any better, nor is skill cool-down, but with more mana it is ready to go at that spare moment of terror. No moment of "o, I got to pop a mana before I cast".
As far as armor, yes I take a hit:
Gurgox eye- 25 armor
brilliance green- 19 armor
blinking eye of fate- 19 armor
metallic robe of brilliance- 36 armor
cosmos robe- 36 armor
metallic robe pink- 36 armor
ol cosmos helm- 19 armor
metallic brilliance- 14 armor
metallic pink- 14 armor
As for weapons, I do go with cosmos laser wand now, just for more damage with my weapon, but really my casts do more damage than my weapons ever have.
Keeper staff, meh, would be cool for mobs, but I think the last thing any team wants is a mage with aggro during boss battle, am I right?
So the only things that I'm missing here are the difference really in crit% and hit %. If I already have well over 100% in both, does it really make that much more of a difference? (I actually want a response to this cuz idk).
I also miss out in a couple points in regen for both mana and health. I don’t even need those. I usually never have a problem with health with spam heal, and with more mana there is no need for a faster regen.
Least but not last, I have run lately with some great mages lately all decked out in cosmos. I don’t die anymore than they do, and I actually have died less. Call me crazy, but cosmos set is a kill magnet.
So now, I have let you in to my crazy thoughts. I may have scared some of you.....good. As lesrider says, I look like a newb, poor, and invisible. lol. Good and then I nuke the crap out of everything around me and all are in awe. lol. I get booted from games for my gear. It only pisses me off sometimes.
So now, I invite all ya'all to share your thoughts and flames. Bring it on!
