I decided to make mine a "Protection" Nox/Myst/Mage who runs with protection at all times.
I put 15 Physical on the Plane sword instead of DCI to help offset the protection penalty, and I put 15 resist on the bracelet for the same reason.
Resist is at 100 while under protection.
Spell casting is slow (of course) but uninterruptable. So far I've just been doing mostly support with fields and Cleansing Winds.
Armor setup is:
Faction Kasa
Faction HotL
Imbued Gorget/Arms/Gloves/Legs
Ring - Crystalline
Bracelet - Imbued 15 Resist, 25 EP, 20 LRC, 5 LMC, 6 Int
And the rest of the stuff giving me....
85/75/70/75/70, 100 LRC, 40 LMC, 16 INT, 13 Mana, 15 MR, 20 HPI, 7 HPR, 32 SDI, 40 DCI, 25 EP
I went back to human so I can cast bees and the other low level Spellweaving stuff.
I'll play more in champs and some sparring and pvp to see how viable going without FC/FCR will be. For a support char it's very survivable as is.
You know the Cure/Heal awesome macro, right?
