Ptopaz the armor and you're cake. 88 + 24 = 114 mf. Add on another 65 gives you 30 to make up for the armor leaving you with 35 left. 50 on belt, as someone already explained. BUT on top of that you get 30 more fcr, more defense, more life, more mana, better resistances and one more plus skills not to mention you dont have to "up" tal belt to have max potion slots.
Allright, I revised my guide to make it clearer, however, I shall still stand my ground. It doesn't have more mf... Check the guide again, I added it in now. At lvl 92 - PTopazed Skullder's + Magic MF Amu + Goldwrap = 209 MF. Tal's armor PTopazed + amulet + belt (if perfect) = 192 MF. 17 less. I don't get Your counting... Try using commas and full stops to reduce rubble into comprehensible sentences...
What are those "better mods" on Tal's set?
+20 DEX? wow! Raises Your block rate by a bit? Nothing special. Don't use Tal's belt for the Dexterity, thinking that You can now save up on the 75 that You need for the Wizardspike. If You die, the weapon is picked up *BEFORE* the belt, meaning that You'll have to pick Your corpse up again. While You're picking it up, You shan't have the +75 resists on the Wizzy, meaning that You are very vulnerable to death again. Especial pain in the @$$ when trying to flee from a bunch of immunes.
By the way, it's not 30%FCR, but 10%. It will not make a difference when added to the 50% on Wizardspike.
More life? Slightly, but not significantly.
More mana? Again, slightly, You shall not run out of mana anyway if not using a merc with Insight.
More defence? Once again, slightly. However, eth Skully provides TONS more defence and is a lot cheaper than Tal's armor.
1 extra skill? Indifferent.
Better resists? Indifferent, as they shall be at 75 already.
My suggested equipment is a lot cheaper, and Tal's set WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I can afford Tal's combo. Why should I? It will not make a significant difference.
