Editing Angelyz's Guide to Venomancers (section)

==Venomancer Gear==

This is an Arcane veno guide so obviously I want you to choose arcane gear. :P Arcane gear builds up your magic resistances, magic attack, mana, and pet healing power. This is the heart and soul of an Arcane veno. Although you will be weak against physical attacks, this will not matter if you play your veno correctly as you will not be hit very much.

All of your main pieces should be arcane. Your other pieces such as necklace, belt, cape, and rings will vary depending on what you want. Be sure to get rings that add magic attack no matter what, and try to focus on gear that adds HP, Vit, and negative channeling if possible.

Some venos tend to use protection necklaces and belts to bump up their physical defense a bit, which isn't a bad thing except no matter how much physical defense it adds, you're still gonna be what we like to call "squishy". And you're still gonna die fast when you get hit by physical attacks. So I personally go with elemental necklaces and belts to make me that much more resistant to magic attacks.

I go for the ones that have the HP and Vit over the ones with Phys Def. It balances out itself. Another thing that is a must for Arcane and Mag venos is the type of shards that you add to sockets on your gear. I personally go with nothing but HP shards (citrines) on all my gear, and magic attack shards (sapphires) on my weapons. I'll leave the shard combining up to you to learn.
