A grade set bonuses

[thenutcase]

I know its the same in essence 

And I can see some benefits to this

But did you like that set bonuses are missing?

Its kind of cool that you can mix parts of different armor for different bonuses.

But I had a real brain ache trying to figure out what robes to dress my nuker

 

My instict said go DC because it looks better

But since there is no cspeed benefit over the other sets perhaps something else is optimal

I know that this should be a person decision but Im more of an undecisive personality and I would like to have a guide comparing different armor combos or a chart.

Because this change has been since essence came out I havent found any discussion about it online.

Would going full NM be the best choice for a mage?

I dont really care about para/stun/sleep bonuses just all in all best A armor for PVE

Does the 8% pdef multiplier on dc helm (while wearing full DC) make up for the difference of base pdef from a set like NM or MJ?

Other than pdef it lacks in mana regen as its 5.5% while others are 8%

Thoughts?

l2 ADEN is also know as l2 mess, that's doesn't make much difference, ppl will still use Orc Mages with BW heavy and A-Grade bow to farm.
