  Is that even possible? o_o I see some stats that don't really add up.

  
  
  The stats are fine. It isn't anything that spectacular if you have all those skills maxed. It does take awhile to get all those skills maxed that way though.

  What would cancel out the -30 MP from Maiz?

  How far are you on those gloves? I always though people gave up on gathering them mats with horrible drop rate, but I noticed the "15% ice magic boost" so that must be a huge ice boost for mages.

  Except for Vejosa due to different play style, but I still see it useless in my point of view.

  Magic Mastery adds like 15 MP that is not added to base, and his dustin greaves could be enchanted with Hard Peaca.
  
  -30 MP + 30 MP would leave him at his exact base?

  Oho...that would work out perfectly, yeah. I figured the +15 from MM, but didn't know where the other +15 would come from. D:

  I have Magic master
  
  I have Magic Bolt master
  
  I have Fire master
  
  I have lighitng master
  
  I have Ice master
  
  
  Depending on the situation i'm in, what spell I plan to use and what wand/staff I am using I will change titles randomly.
  I decided to use Master of thunder in this screenshot because I wanted to:
  1) show off a little.
  2) see what my maximum int/MP was
  3) If I had switched to any of the above titles you would not have seen the hidden magic effects.

  All your doing is telling me things I already know and do on a regular basis.
  
  Also about the defense thing. To me ranking my protection and defense by wearing UGLY, Cumbersome , expensive, heavy armor is pointless, I would rather dye than wear a robe as well.
  
  A) If I want defense i'll just stick on mana shield or something, which I do anyways when **** hits the fan.
  I have enough trouble repairing my wands, I don't need to slap on another expense.
  
  B) Giants do NOT have terrible magic stats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 40 magic attack (with master of thunder)!! the CAP IS 49!!
  YES THERE IS A CAP ON HOW MUCH MAGIC ATTACK YOU CAN GET IT IS 49!!! once you reach that cap there is no greater or worse at magic, all races are even.
  
  C) Giants have bad mana preservation yes, thats why they invented homesteads my dear. (and Mana reduction wands, Mana reduction sets, Mana increasing food, Mana increasing Magic music, oh and did I forget Mana pots...,wait I didn't)
  
  D) I would rather high Critical, int, [FONT="Arial"][SIZE="3"]and Mana hammer[/SIZE][/FONT] for maximum magic damage thank you very much! I would rather have a STRONG mana shield(Windguard!?!?!), and a STRONGER Magic damage, I think that would be more effective than a useless defensive set and weaker Magic damage.

  I never said anything about heavy armor now, did I? You could get up to 45 magic damage with mana hammer/capped int/capped artisan, @ level 1/1. Put a Lizard Mana Needle on your wand for crit and magic damage. Mana Conjurer if you're really picky and want the perfect damage at level 1/1.
  
  With enchants, you can get over 100 crit (well over 100 if you decide to go with lizard). Furthermore, it leaves enough room to throw on enchants and get a little more than 30 protection/defense. This would probably only work with normal wands though, because you would need to use barrier spikes title with a staff to make up for having no shield.
  
  Unfortunately giants couldn't do this with a mana reduction set, due to not being able to wear the school uniform/karis. But even without it, it still allows for easily 1/3rd damage taken off, and while using windguard almost invincibility. And of course, it allows for completely max magic damage as well. I really see no reason to not do this. Since you have basically everything else capped, why bother throwing on +mana enchants? Since giants can't rely on leveling up to refill their mana like elves/humans can (yes, you have to start using those mana pots you got from your homestead), there's really not much of a point in having that much mana. It just delays the usage of your infinite supply of mp pots for a couple more levels, oh no!
  
  Of course, maybe you want to wait untill you do get capped int, as you're damage would drop without those int enchants you still need.
  
  
  
  EDIT: Of course, in my original post I wasn't thinking about critical enchants, which without would allow you to get to 40+ protection. But even with critical enchants you could still get pretty good defensive capabilities.

  Uh...why not? Levelling fills up mana regardless of what race you are. o.o So I don't get what you mean by that, I guess?

  Because giants get less base mana, and take up more mana when using spells. So our mana runs out quicker, therefore we have to start using pots at a lower level than elves/humans do.

  @Kartheus
  
  Lizard + Mana Needle/Mana Conjuror would be pretty hard to make. Considering they're both prefixes.
  
  And Giants can use the Trinity Wear for a +4 Mana Reduction bonus, so I don't see the relevance of Karis/School Uniform.
  
  As for 100 Critical, you're underestimating it by a longshot. Rather than just saying "it leaves enough room to throw on enchants" why don't you spell out your awesome 100+ Crit, 30+ Def/Prot setup. I'm assuming you mean Magic Crit here, and that you're not using a Critical-based title (and sacrificing a large chunk of damage from a Magic Title) or the Barrier Spikes title since that'd ruin the setup completely.
  Keeping in mind that Staff-use is also vital to Vejosa's playstyle, so you'd need that 100+ crit with that as well.
  (Not to mention the golden number is 130 Crit, not 100)
  
  
  
  There is no way to make a tanking set without destroying the versatility and offensive powers that Staves offer. Even with Wands, it's still pressed tight.
• TheKartheus wrote on 2011-06-08 19:32
  Ah yes I was thinking Mana Needle was suffix. And I forgot about trinity wear. /fail.
  
  When I calculated 100 critical, I was calculating in maxed will as well. Like I said, the barrier spikes title only comes into play when using trinity staff due to not having a shield, this would only really work for wands. Considering you can't even windguard with trinity staff on, the whole tanking thing is kinda useless with it. Not sure what the constant is for hailstorm, so I don't know how to calculate the critical for it. I guess the whole tanking thing really wouldn't work unless you spam adv magic.

  I'm going to reply to everything you said above with 4 worlds TheKartheus, and the reason why I don't give a poop about using the barrier spikes title when using hailstorm and would rather use Magic Master (+5% Magic damage to hailstorm, and ALL int, bolt magic I may use with it)
  
  The 4 worlds are:....*drum rolll*
  
  [SIZE="3"]I. Use. Mana. Shield.[/SIZE]
  
  Sure shields are fine when I use a wand, but to be honest I can survive just as well or better with mana shield, not only do I invest in mana enchants that give me much more mana, but I also have MANA REDUCTION SET which reduces dmg to me while in mana shield by 10%
  
  [SIZE="5"]10%!![/SIZE]
  
  As Justified said above, changing my equips would ruin my play style all together and the effectiveness of everything.
  
  anyways that's enough ranting from me, i think other people should post their stats so I can stop being so uppity XD

  Discussion is always nice though!
  Not many people above 3-4k like to post their stats for whatever reason.
  
  
  Ill post mine in a week or so.
