    Hello,

    When I compare an orb with a spellbook, I notice the orb has a higher base damage, a higher magic boost, and gives a lot more mana. Sometimes a spellbook doesn't give mana at all.

    The only thing a spellbook does better than an orb, is giving you more magic accuracy.
    To me, it seems the increase in magic accuracy is not big enough to sacrifice the amount of magic boost you get from an orb, plus the extra MP.

    Does the rest of Aion agree or do some people indeed prefer the magic accuracy of the spellbook?

    That extra MA can be a lifesaver it's worth the sacrifice of MB besides MB is capped at 2.6k here on Gamez.

    u could find uses for the orb's extra MP and MB when it comes to fighting a zerg of mele clases like ranger , glad or even sin since hardly any1 of that class goes mr u could fight a bit longer and do more dmg.. but the mac always come in handy for other classes.

    you could pretty much compensate the lack of mb through manastone +27 mb compared to the m.acc manastones which only add +14, which imo is a big difference.

    If ur privileged enough, use both weapons. Identifying the situation if you think the enemy has lower magic resist, you wont need much MA then use ur orb, otherwise use the tome.

    But Tome is definitely the best weapon. There is a Magic boost cap and if ur a sorc and use ur buffs, u would likely almost reach that cap.

    most anti magic classes uses MR so its useless to have MB and MP if you can't kill your opponent, you can easily cap MB that is why MACC is more useful than MB but it is still up to you :)
