A V/T with 1 pt in Conviction will end up with lvl 16ish Conviction, which is -105%.

A mage will end up with about lvl 19ish, which is -120%. I doubt either of them having any facets, however it's possible that a mage will use Griffon's.

No, I've never played either, I'm just basing these on an assumption of certain gear.

However, I consider it possible that they will get to a high lvl to get their conviction to 25ish or use something else to get the aura up.

A foh scepter on either is _very_ unlikely. As it cripples the fcr of the hammers, and wouldn't allow cta or grief on the v/t. And without CTA the v/t will end up dying due to bo running out. Without Grief, well, the V/T will be a breakfast.

yeah mage uses griffons and the highest - res i seen was -160 + as i seen a dude with perf -res griffon

and had a few point in conviction but he was also lvl 97.

I usally negate about -150 with this gear stuff.


If u were to meet a t/v though the conviction ratio would change to about max convicton i think, not to sure though.

And as stated none of these chars will carry an foh septer as u will automaitically as a v/t lose smite dmg. Some ppl try the idea of using the gear on switch but this can lead to many problems, i.e ur bo runs out mid fight, the deleay between switching, given this delay a barb or good char can get to u quick enough in this time frame and nail u badly so this is a risky technique.

A mage could use the septer but then u drop the fcr from the hoto and lose dmg as well which makes it less viable as i do believe some scepter spawn with hammer skills or synergies. In the end its not worth it

Good one over -200%

Conviction -150
Griffon's + facet -25
Foh scepter -25
Pala shield with 4 facets -20
Ormus robes + facet -5
________________________
Total = - 225 %

That's only theory, but most of them wear Griffon and scepter sp prepear to stack over 200% res.

Why would a V/T or Mage have Foh Scepter or Ormus Robe on.

... They don't. No smart V/T or Mage wears ormus's robes, because ALL those robes would offer is the light% damage and facetry. Same with foher. Chains of honor is the best for v/t I think, and great on foh - I assume it would be nice on mage as well. If you wanted to facet your armor, wear a freaking vipermagi or something.

Besides, he was talking about a pure foh'er - though good pure fohers use decent armor and are more likely to use spirit or hoz over a 20/20 sheild.

Btw, don't know if Geo got in touch with you online, Retro, but I have a question for you - check your PMs.

My V/T has -150 from just conviction. I just happen to use 9 Offensive Gcs. I think I have 3 base points into conviction.
