Can scaling high int make up for the low mage def on chain/plate?

Nope :P

Int is just a factor which multiplies magical defense on the armor.

Say you have a 0 to 16 magical defense on a plate and then you add enough int to double it (so maybe you go from barbarian int to almost alchemist int).

Now it’s just gonna be 0 to 32 :P

Lame, I was going to make a guardian with chain, clubs and high int for heals, guess int wont be enough to make super tank.

Why not? Plates are by far the best tank armor in the game. Doesn’t really matter how much magical damage you take because you pretty much stop all physical damage, which is far better than stopping some of both :thumbsup:

Yuck… switching gear is the worst :lol:

Anyway check again. Put on an ee guardian armor, even though I don’t usually use it because my souped up guardian can tank 9 EPs just fine in a tier I white armor :P
