IN or EP +2

[hadaroshif]

sure iron neck ... u dont need to think about it

[getbuffer]

i would say ep2 if u have +6dd helmet , more sudden dies form assassins
ep2 give much HP which can save you while ur priest leaching ....

[hadaroshif]

Iron Neck is better for support and for regular mage ....

[PulPo]

all depends how the mage play with
IN : Mage support
EP : Mage NT,PK party mage ....

[MyDestiny]

It is a big problem...

When I had a DCZ mage I had iron set + DD helmet and Rogues didnt spike me much, like 500 tops but I had lowwwwwwww HP... If I got parasite I was 2 hits no matter to which sins (some of them got me in 1 hit with para malice)... So it sucked... So Unless you got like over 2.2k HP unbuffed, go for EP imo

Mydestiny is right , but depend on situation,rest of your gear so , see what u need hp or def

this is exactly why EP is best if you have low base hp....you have to remember that you will be parasited and maliced...and if you cant survive 1-2 spikes...youre free np
most people who say IN is better than EP+2 in ardy probably never used an ep2 in ardy....ive used both and ep2/ep3 all the way any day...

it just doesnt shave off enough damage in ardy to make it worth while...

if you have a ED staff with dd15/25 and ib...that is more than enough dd to mess up most sins...i had a chaotic8, dual imir3s and ep2/3 and ib and always killed sins with full +9s and whatever other acc's
