it's not about what looks awesome but if it really benefits your char, otherwise it's a waste of time and pharmed sp. for example, i currently have a main char which is an int based hybrid sword shield, uses prot but will switch to armor soon and that combined with a good br shield will give me enough phy based defence, to compensate for the mag att based defence i'm going to solely add the fire protection series ... not only because it looks "1337" but also because it will benefit my char in the long run. (pharming nachals at levelcap for instance, but will wear garment then!)
yeah that's why i'll delevel my entire cold tree soon, which is only lvl30 atm
