Robes for Rangers?

[mresch]

Another question from a new(er) Ranger. Lvl 11 drow pure finesse tempest... recently started using robes and currently using (mostly) deathblock of invulnerability. No named robes at this point (i.e. rainments).

What do you find useful? I have limited cash for collectables and don't want to have to do the armor ritual too many times...

Assuming you're wearing Minos for your heavy fort, a Robe of the Magi (+100 SP) isn't bad to wear at a shrine. Use the extra SP for buffing. Robes of greater elemental resist are always handy. Some folks like the fearsome robes (personally I dislike fearsome as an all-purpose robe, though it does have it's time and place).

I wouldn't waste your time doing the armor ritual on any/all of these robes. Just wait until you either craft a set of DT armor (robes or vestments) or you score the Icy Raiments.
