Notes
With a total of +20 ATT with its proc active, this robe is the best robe for DPS in the game. It also gives a nice SPD boost, which helps naturally slow classes like the Wizard. In exchange, this robe sacrifices DEF, MP, and WIS. In endgame content (where this robe is most likely to be used), a few extra DEF is unlikely to save you. The massive attack boost usually makes up for the other stats.

Compared to its closest existing relative, the Water Dragon Silk Robe, the base Vesture of Duality sacrifices 1 ATT, 1 DEF, 5 VIT, 1 SPD, and the healing reactive proc for 40 MP. However, provided that this robe’s proc is active, the Vesture blows all other competition out of the water.

WIS-reliant classes, like the Sorcerer or Priest, may prefer another robe when their ability is more important than weapon DPS. Examples include the Ritual Robe and Robe of the Mad Scientist.

Abilities that boost DEF, namely Lutes, will counteract the defense decrease. A T7 Lute will provide a net +2 DEF buff, in addition to its on-equip defense stat.
