I am wondering how to gear my fire wizard, who is now level 93. She's currently wearing crafted gear from Avalon. Honestly, I don't want to farm Hades. I don't like long complex dungeons and the thought of doing it just the one time for the quest makes me want to cry. This leaves me with wondering what to do for gear. Are the crafted pieces in Sardonyx/Khrysalis my best choice or can I find better?
I am a max level fire wizard. To answer your question about the sardonyx gear, yes you definitely want the hat. You should also use azteca crafted boots instead of khrysalis crafted ones, of course I haven't taken a good look at the khrysalis crafted boots so I can't say for certain that you want to craft azteca first.
My recommendation for the robe is hades, but since you dont want to farm him, I would go with waterworks.
