most proof sets break instance and vice versa.

if you are just starting out gearing, buying a proof set during an event would probably be easiest, but some of the desired values come from set bonuses, not ghost stats (damage in particular). this means that they can not be increased with tiering, and go away when you break the set.

also, many servers haven't been able to run the highest content for a while now, so availability of the HM sets is low.

my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

mages should stack dex. word.

Word this is why I make statements about fixing intensification and bringing back light burn to 100% but whatever is proof better for certain classes as is instance sets ?

nearly entirely depends on what you can get your hands on and what you intend to +/tier too.

for minimal cost and greatest gain, i'd say proof is better, but since all the values are flat, you can't get as much net increase as you have the potential to with instance.

I got a hybrid between instance proof and me ma bur trying to figure out the ultimate combination if I don't have it instead of doing trial and error

honestly... proof set first starting out.. easier to acquire..even use ud if you have to to just "get there" but best combo is 4 piece leg set from pomh or 92 ini and 4 piece either from goh or coeh seems to be the way gear will be for a while..

82-87-92-97 instance leg set with damage...80-85-90-95 chest set with damage, both 4 piece sets always way to go imo for example..

Word so the mix is better than not the full sets

I did a CP between full proof set and full instance set (gohh + pomh). The difference isn't that big tbh. Proof has slightmore more crit, instance has slightly more Mdam. Full gohh + crafted gave similar results to proof, with like 200 less mdam or something.

I've always used/been a fan of full Proof gear with a hm chest and quest necklace. Gives substantial mdmg while giving the highest crit, which in new endgame is becoming increasingly important.

I'm a cheap biscuit. And I settled for UD PoM gear. PoM gear was best decision I've made. UD was the worst. Grab good accessories and stack DMG for ghosts. Then your all set.

Damage is everything. When there were 4 wd/w including me all running together consistently, nightly, i was always 3rd or 4th on scrut, always wondering what i was missing, i made more gear... got higher pa and crit than most, still was doing more than me...

Only difference was,, they had more pdam than me, whether its higher tier, better weapon, more 4 piece sets, instance legs etc...w.e they had more than me period.

Once i matched their pdam the tables turned instantly haha (atleast for a tiny bit lol )

But didnt matter that i had 10-20k more pa than them, they had more pdam.

The reply I gave was based purely for w/m and mages, since that's what you play, melee classes are different. Probably should have made that clear.

sorry i should clarify too the mages in bteam also use damage set from both instances and have found that they do more damage then proof set as well between sapient and grigoriouss.. but to each their own.

All these are, are peoples opinions really, i still for one say just get your hands on whatever you can first gearing up, once you "get there" then personalize the way you seem fit.

Dont be picky when gearing up first time, i see a lot of people perfect stat one piece of beautiful gear they got, but by the time they get a full set its already outdated haha.

That's weird because with full pom gear and instance chest you only missing like 300 mdam but if you go full ini you losing like 1.5k critical if not more and we need the crit that's just me tho also I crit more than those who use full ini and I also out dps mages and w/m who don't have crit never lost to a w/m yet only m/w but that's because swap not complete and I still out dps them sometimes all tho I can gather more data tho

What if I were to use the full on proof with the chest proof and neck proof or full proof with instance chest and mems earring and neck or full on proof with just instance leg and one mem earring or full proof with instance leg and chest with a memento earring memento neck which is better ? And would you go with ma tali dam tali or % tali ?
