<div>I am trying to get some gear made but not sure what is the best. A tailor in our guild says that none of the robes have INT on them. As a matter of fact only 2 peices have INT. Is that the norm for Wizzie clothes?</div>

<div></div><p>It depends on what lvl u are...</p><p>T7 crafted armor has +23 int on it all.. But some of the lower tiers has some really sucky crafted armor for mages! U can get better armor from drops and quests.</p>

<div></div>Get a combination of +int, +sta, +power, +hp, +resist.  This is my opinion tho.:smileyindifferent:

<div></div><p>With the new gear out i would go with</p><p>Int>effects>power>resists</p><p>Or even if the effect is good enough go with the effect... things like bone clasped girdle.. fizzlefazlles walking stick... mystical orb or the invoker.. they all add alot of damage</p>

<div></div><p>I go for INT kit up to the point when I am nearing level cap (potions and food can easily deal with the rest), I then look equally to STA and WIS stuff (for the extra health and resists).</p><p>With KoS stuff as well, I am finding that the +1DIS, +1SUB etc are actually proving to be worth the investment.  Its a small improvement but it is an improvement.</p>

<div></div><p>I agree ^ with the above...</p><p>I've been searching for +disruption gear and have many pieces with it now.  I've found that my resist rate (my spells on mobs) have decreased substantially......</p>

Since getting int doesnt seem to be a problem I go for special abilities (FT,Procs,etc) then INT, Power, Resists.  My deagro robe lets me crank up the DPS alot.

Also I have been now switching equipment on depending on the situation. I will switch wepaons and Robes out between solo and grouping, and of course have certain resist items for that certain situation. In groups I am not concerned with FT/Clarify as much as I am with Hate reducing, and solo of course we don't need to worry about gaining hate so I got back to the FT and Power items.
