MuffinProof Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I just switched from the Moonshadow robe set to the Drake Leather armour on my ES and none of the effects from the Light Armor Mastery passive apply. In fact, I get more Cast speed and MP regen with the Moonshadow robe, which doesn't have bonuses to those stats. Robe Mastery passive: PDef Max HP Light Armor Mastery: PDef Casting speed Attack speed MP Recovery. None of the light armor mastery stats apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalille Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 If you test your stats with your robes equipped, then swap the chest out for a sec (and try to cast a apell) you should notice that robes actually give you 100% cast speed , plus atk speed and 20% MP recovery, but its activated from a different more basic magicians passive skill that you got as a starting mage. At 1st class transfer , healers/summoners gain the ability to use light without totally gimping their magic ability, but its still not as good as robes at casting , you do get more pdef however. This is why the light armor skill gives you 91% cast speed /etc because otherwise you would get a 100% cast speed penalty for using non-robes. (at least this is how i remember it working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean to imply that this is actually a penalty? As in you only get 91% of your cast speed, instead of 91% increased cast speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In robes you get 200% cast speed ...100% bonus In Light you get 191% ...91% bonus (but if a elf wizard (Sps) tried to wear light they would be down from 200% to 100% cos they dont have the 91% light skill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the "Magician's Attitude" passive. Welp, now I'm totally screwed, since I used the 7th day attendance ticket on this light armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, now I'm totally screwed, since I used the 7th day attendance ticket on this light armor Well I think the light is better , I am actually using the 7 day light set on my healer, and its good when hunting anywhere that the mobs actually manage to hit you. Also for pvp it may be better to have both a robe set (Moonshadow) and a light set (drake) to swap between. (Imprint armor wont drop when your red I am told) You can still get a robe set, or swap in the D robe set you got for free, at times when you want the slightly faster casting to farm a spot. (also a tradable C karmian set is a good option to invest/buy later with its 15% cast speed another good investment for a tradeable nuking set is the demon set with +4 int dmg) both of these sets seem to be currently sold/resold by players too(but you can buy them from npc).
