+0.05% per point added to Defense and Armor if every piece of equipped gear is the same level.

 

I've never found a level that is conducive to this buff. Can anyone enlighten me please? I don't believe I have 9 pieces of the same level I would ever use. I can't remember when last there was nine pieces of the same level.

 

What level is the highest level one can use this buff at? Should more items be added so that this buff can be used at higher levels for more players to enjoy OR should the buff be altered so that every equipped gear be between 5 or 10 levels?

Not even 970, the SK set has pieces from 950 to 970 so you can't use the balanced buffs with that set either.

the cracked lava set, level 100, surely the greatest set ever invented?!!

 

seriously think it is level 200 so yeah the buff is pretty redundant.

Introducing new sets to match well with others of the same level is a way to help make use of that buff.. There are already levels throughout all of Erildath that have fitting or atleast weird combo sets at one level.. Level 100 has handful that could work with some strange turtle set. I could probably get weird with level 1000 sets..

WE NED MOAR GEA!

Well it doesn't have to be a complete set. What about 9 pieces of the same level. When is the last time that has happened besides the Lava set?

1600 could use it if a set with boots comes out.

1100, 1000, 900, then 710 are the highest levels I've found with all 9 pieces. Is there a higher one?

I don't know of one higher than that myself. But then, I have been known to be wrong a time or three.  ;)

1500 could get a nice armot setup going but missing a set ring.. Could always go common but co-attack/defense wouldn't work

If there are setups to be assembled, what is the opportunity cost of using these possibly sub-par setups for the express purpose of applying BD or BA, versus using the most effective set up?

 

Too much work!

yup but in effort lies rewards.

 

if they ninja added it and people would be looking for effective setups to be the best in their area they will have to do some research and calculations cloak it and you will get others to also start thinking and asking themselves how does he do that :o must figure it out :o

That's the deficiency of this buff. There is no common option to go, there's nothing! There isn't enough gear if the restriction to the buff is that all equipment must be the same level. There are maybe 10 levels that this skill works with the highest being 1100. I'm assuming the Mighty Vigor(For every 50 points of the skill, can equip items 1 level higher than your level.) skill doesn't have any effect on the Balanced buffs either.
