question about sm

i have sm with masta set and abg magic acc set with headband and belt and sema tome fused with egt tome and im full MA... i have 1100 p def. is it realy that low or somethings wrong with my char?

any answer would be nice

 

p defence on cloth will never be astronomically high.


But, luckily, defence is the most useless stat in aion really. Considering how the stat gives very tiny teny weeny reductions in damage for it in vast quantities...


such as... 4k defence = 400 less physical​ damage.

That, honestly, is a joke o.o

 

instant summon skill then Spirit sub then debuff them = WIN!
*heal your summon and use the earth one.

 

Well, you are cloth, so ou cant expect to have high P.Defense


Really, I have never ever cared about p. Defense ... one fact will be I have never noticed diference in having 800 P.Deff and 1600 P.Deff the other is that most meele classes have skills to reduce your Low P.Deff even more.

If you are looking for defense, Go for PvP def on PvP Armor ... lvl 55 non set is good to start, better would be EGT lvl 50 elite set.

On my mage I have aprox 12% pvp deff and 9300 hp unbuffed And I have noticed the difference. I am a lot more tanky ... As for mages, stack some elemental defense ...

 

Full ABG spirit masters are a ***** to take down (Especially if you have a MR set). I speak from experience on this....



Best defences in Aion (for spiritmasters).

#1:
-Magic Restance: You have a buff when using water spirit called <Spirit: Elemental WAll of Protection I> which will give you 250 MR increase (and 100 MA, butt thats irrelevant to the current topic at hand). I can easily get 2,600 MR.

#2:
-PvP defence: Its on any pvp gear. (ABG, EAT, EGT, GBG, level 40 pvp set(s), level 30 pvp set(s).)

The % deducts damage incoming by that much.

Get full pvp gear ABG and your bonuses:


Tunic: 5%
Leggings: 4%
Pauldrons: 3%
Gloves: 3%
Shoes: 3%

Helmet(?): 2%

so 5+4+3^3+2 = 20% pvp damage reduction.

Which, considering everything, is actually quite nice (I think ABG actually has slightly higher values and that the system rounds down ... so say tunic is 5.4 and it rounds down to 5% instead).


#3
But... as a spirit master I can tell you that my best defence is in:

-Shields (reduces pvp damage taken as well, < Stone Skin> that is, which is 2k shield). The spirit damage shield that lasts 10 seconds is nice 2.

-Spirit substitution (and the two pet heals), infinitely useful.

-HP stacking.


Since generally shields are all about maximizing the amount of health you have.

#4:

As a spirit master you have a wide array of debuffs and ways to control your opponent... stun locks, silences, body roots, fears (if need be, some people rely too heavily on fear and are honestly quite terrible players). Another debuff that is integral is "Shackle of Vulnerability" which will DRAMATICALLY lower the opponents attack speed... cast speed... and will essentially make it a complete ***** for them to hurt you in anyway.


But overall... I feel defence, even if it did "work" or at least did something (which RETAIL AION chose defence to be useless, not here. we are following retail standards!), spirit masters would still be one of the kings of the food-chain... right next to templars... in terms of defence. (Its just we make up for what we lack in buffs (that they possess and use for their defence) in direct skills and taking control of the person directly... essentially defence through inhibition.)
