Is an AA/FB any good?

thinking cap: +2 to all magic spells.
naj's light plate armor: +1 to all magic spells.
now you can use a dreamflange cudgel +1 to all spells, with some usefull shield;
or angel's staff +1 to all spells or arch angel's staff +2 to all spells.
so the max you can add is +5.
here was my tank mage set up:
royal circlet helm
awesome plate
stormshield
dreamflange
drake's amulet of wizbang
obsidian ring of titans
obsidian (jade? i don't remember) ring of heavens
with all that the armor was plenty to handle knights in hell/hell.
with r.c. and dreamflange the + light radius was +30, which was difficult.
mana and magic spells were not as high, but the armor was very high.
so it's up to you which way you want to play. it's easier to go arty mage because you
don't have to raise your strength high to wear heavy plate. all you have to do is focus
your level up points into magic, and you'll have very high mana level. with that and a
mana shield, you don't have to put anything into vitality.
so what's my point? i'm not sure, i'm just rambling. good luck and happy gaming.
