The Hidden Forest

While I was deciding which armors to get for my wiz box in ToV I held off on the sleeves for shiny metallic because it seems that its a redundant focus with the robe? The robe(clicky I love but wish was longer than like 40 sec =/) Has a secondary focus that grants 70% damage to ancient core fire. The sleeves from looking at the database have a focus of chaotic fire which also gives a 70% bonus to fire nukes. Could someone confirm this is a redundant focus or is the database wrong.

As always - please post the Names of the items in question as per the announcement in this forum.

Forget robe, use only vambraces focus as you will not use Ancient core for long.

Your forget robe comment doesn't help the identical Focus issue Lola!

Please stay on topic here.

Sleeves = +70% dmg fire modifier
Robe = +70% modifier Ether only?

Quite easy to check naked, with sleeves and then with Robe with Ether & another fire spell.

I never got the robe so cannot test that.

Thx Tala - Vangl will be 80% to Ether with new spellfile.
