now, i can buy pyromancer, hydromancer, geomancer and aeromancer robe
i'm a fire elementalist, so which robe is the best for me?

RTSFirebat · Jun 29, 2005, 10:59 AM // 10:59

Well the only different between the Pyro, hydro, geo and aero armor (Robes) is the addition type of damage they block.

Most people would say go Pyro or Aero since Fire and Air magic is often used in PvP...

However I wear the Geomancer armor since it looks the best on my character. So really its down to which one you think looks best, since the extra defence against whichever element isn't that great IMO.

Only the type of "Third Eye" you use boasts a stat in fire, water, air or earth magic and enegry storage.

I personally like the Hydromancers robes for looks but usually mix those with the gloves and boots from another set. Leggings all seem to look the same to me so pick whatever you want. As far as stats are concerned, if you know that you're going to be facing fire damage chose Pyromancers to minimise the damaged done. If you going to be facing Lightning the Aeromancers is the way to go. Since you probably don't want to pack complete sets of armor I suggest selecting a couple of sets of the robes (Chest piece) since that is the most likely to be hit and switching as needed.
The head piece is the only armor that added to your stats the others protect you from enemies.

If i buy one armour of each type which attrubite will be ineffect i.e. Reduced fire/electricly/cold damage?

Yes... but the effectiveness how much much your are protected is greatly reduced overall.

But you'll have a equal balance. Only problem is the face different armor types look odd then mixed and matched.

The only armor piece that affects your attributes is the head piece which gives +1 to the corresponding attribute. The other pieces affect the damaged received only, and only for the corresponding element type. Pyromancers armor gives +15 against fire damage, so anything throwing fire skills/damage your way will do less damage to you because the extra armor value figures into the equation.

For my info, where these armors are available?

Weezer_Blue · Jun 29, 2005, 01:35 PM // 13:35

For looks, Geomancers robes are awesome. For actual play, PvP = Aeromancers. Pyromancers never give me trouble anyway... That line sucks in PvP (for primaries anyway), IMO.

Not really. Some are only available in certain areas, and some aren't available until about 1/2 way through the missions.

Well this guide is empty, except for warrior.

Auntie I · Jun 29, 2005, 01:45 PM // 13:45

Sorry about that. Go to GW online and look at their list it's complete. I thought these guys had updated but I was wrong. My bad.

Conador · Jun 29, 2005, 01:45 PM // 13:45

They are adding new info to that guide...notice the "closed for renovation"? Be Patient.

Auntie I · Jun 29, 2005, 01:46 PM // 13:46

It's been "Closed" for several weeks.

Eomer Brightblade · Jun 29, 2005, 01:53 PM // 13:53

MSecorsky · Jun 29, 2005, 02:33 PM // 14:33

As for the robes... I dyed the vest, leggings, gloves and boots in gold (yellow + silver), it really looks sharp.

Now to get my ranger looking like he's not wrapped in a burlap bag...
