ok, i was wondering what to change my secondary class to after i ascended, and was thinking of two classes and two strategies and how they would compete against eachother

on one side, there is an R/Me tank that uses Greater Conflagaration, Winter, and then Mantra of Ice(or cold dont know which) just to take as little damage as possible.

on the otherside, there is a R/Mo damage dealer who uses Judge's Insight to deal holy damage and armor penetration, with Penetrating Attack.

i was wondering first if the Holy damage would be overruled by the GC and Winter rituals and if the armor penetration from Judge's Insight and Penetrating Attack would stack.

please post any thoughts, or facts, that you have cause it would help me greatly.

Armor Penetration stacks. a Horn Bow with JI and Pen Attack would have 50% armor penetration.

For Tombs I wouldn't reccomend relying on enchantments, since they never last very long. However, in the random arenas and PvE they're more effective.

Greater Conflag is very good since rangers have an extra +30 armor against physical with it in effect. However, in my opinion it is Winter that sucks. The major types of damages in the current game include physical (covered by conflag) smiting (covered by conflag) and air elemental damage (covered by winter). However, of these, Air elemental damage is definitely the rarest nowadays, and you already have the extra armor against it.

I much prefer just Conflag + Mantra of Flame over Conflag + Winter + Mantra of Frost. The latter combo has to coordinated extra just for very little extra effect.
