SM or bigtop?

[omgitsbri]

For mage?
For bear?

Also how would I spec my mage on SM?

Atm 128 str 67 dex and 97 or so int

Should i go 128 str and full dex or 128 str and full int?


Teewhy!

Bear: Strongman. My reason: Bear is better with armor/damage, and the loss of dodge is only around 3.
Mage: Either. If you want str/int, you need Big Top, if you want str/dex, go Strongman. Reason(s): Int/str needs a little extra hit, so you go for that set. That's the only reason. If you use dex/str, strongman IS the stronger over all set (IMO). You should test both if you are able, but if you can only get one, go for Strongman.

(str/dex stats: enough str for set, 11 int, rest dex)
(str/int stats: enough str for set, rest int)

however half int has 27 extra dmage at the cost of 8 hit%

Which is why I said BT over SM for int/str. :p

Agreed on mage. SM is better. You cant rely on dodge anyways and heal away most hit debuffs (except for blinding shot) so you should go for the extra armor/damage.

For bears I'd go for BT any day. Mainly because of the hit%, the extra dodge is just a nice bonus. Hitting your beckon and debuffs is crucial and gives you control over the fight. I easily beat SM bears, Int/Dex mages and Birds on my bear with BT.

I argue with a lot of my friends about this (or rather, use to) because they all use BT.. and told me to get it. I got SM for the set bonus instead, and still beat them. SM >> BT vs Mages anyway, and tbh, there's not much difference vs Bears. I have 95 hit % or so.. can't remember exactly. So honestly.. doesn't make a difference, that extra hit % on BT. For me. :)

As I said, I dont have a SM mage myself but I find them harder to beat then the BT pallies.
However, on bears hit% is much more crucial. Do you have a SM bear? If so hmu on Lysdexicbear.

SM: armor/hit
BT: armor/dodge

[MightyMicah]

SM: armor/hit
BT: armor/dodge

*SM: armor/damage
BT: armor/dodge/hit*

Zappy was giving me which rings to use with the set, not the attributes of each set ^^

Oh whoops. Epic fail on me :P sorry!

[Noodleleg]

Uh... Big top for bears, sm for other classes. I wish life was as simple as that XD! (Or maybe not...)

Sigh bri, take it from a guy who has 3 of each lvl 56 sets and has used every combo of every class with every spec.
Big top bear with acrobats fine platnium band. 2 dodge 10 damage. 128 str rest dex.
Sm pally. 128 str 11 int rest dex. Use the 2 hit/ 10 damage ring.
Sm warbird if ur that nasty is 128 str rest dex 2 dodge/10 damage ring.
Big top pally is ok, but sm trashes it. Big top bear will beat an sm bear any day.

BabyBugz sucks tho.

BT>SM for bears.

I love beating strongman bears on my death bird. Their hit% gets wrecked and then they wonder why they lost ;)

[Everyone'sFavMage]

Lol...
