I finally bought a Cosmos Robe for my Mage. I don't use my Mage much in ao3, but I was hoping thE robe might have helped a bit. Yeah...well, it only gives +3 armor over the metallic robe. That's ridiculous. How can the best armor available for a Mage be so flimsy? All it adds is more m/s, which I already had plenty of.

Do the devs not see how badly they screwed up with some of the ao3 equipment (or should I say most of it?)? Something seriously needs to be done about the lack of ms for rift and lack of defense for cosmos. I used to really enjoy my Mage pre-ao3, but now it's just become a mule
