No replacement. Not planning to play 1H anymore. After switching to mage its not necessary.

Regret guarantee. Would you like some salt to have together with your regret?

You'll regret then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Can't wait next meta that will fuck up mage in general like that one with dark.

Uncle Stu, maybe if you relaxed your criteria to allow either but5/fat4 or but4/fat5 your life would get easier and it will be just as good, arguably better.

End Of All Hope, level 453 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
SleepDealer, level 452 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Which one of you guys just dumped this Legendary Arctic Rapier of Slaughter into the bazaar and made me waste 20k getting him out of the garbage? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Scremaz, after I get my proficiency back up things should be better, but right now my DW is using Legendary Demonic Rapier of Slaughter and Legendary Demonic Wakizashi of Slaughter. Yet the damage feels like half of when I was level 200 and using Magnificent Ethereal Club of the Nimble and Superior Demonic Wakizashi of the Nimble. Monster HP does scale quickly with player level, but perhaps my feelings and memory are just off somehow.

Not mine but, that rapier is trash and should've been stayed in the trash.

44 base ADB, I've dropped Magnificents with 2 more (and still tossed them for the most part).

The demonic one you have is quite weak as well, but at least it's tied to a level you could reach when you got it, you can use it right now with low fragments cost and you can replace it any time.

But above lv 400, anything below 46-47 base ADB and not demonic, hallowed, or ethereal, belongs to the trash. (I wouldn't even look to 48 either, tbh)

well, the level of that rapier is quite low. you're losing 310 ADB from that thing only - didn't take into account STR and DEX though, so you may end up with something like 325~330. it's something like 30% of its firepower. plus, having a non-Nimble waki reduces your defense, especially if your evade is already low due to using Leather. if you want to continue using it to a certain extent you may want to start looking for some Mag Shade of Fleet just for the sake of seeing how much your survivability improves. should be quite cheap though - even in a hurry i guess you may earn the full armor set with 100k or so.

Even with 3 power protection/warding and 2 power slaughter equipments , my PDUFOR DWD time is nearly 1hr (nearly 10k turns) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

(it is nearly the same time and turns when i was using all shielding equipments)

How much ADB do you have?
Are you using spirit stance?
I'm at 7k ADB and it takes me ~6500t

Use the 2nd skill. It reduces my clear time by nearly 1k turns. Use infusions for more umph. Cast one regen and I don't think you will ever need to use draughts. What's your shield currently at? Spend some credits forging it to at least 30-35, also some heavy forge on your rapier. All armor to level 5, the slaughter to 10 if you can afford. With my rapier and shield fully forged, all armors to 5 with 1 piece of slaughter. My current 1H clear time is 5k5 turns (haven't done another 1H DwD test since I turned to mage)

ALL_MIGHT has far superior equipment to me in every category, probably twice the adb, and I finish in 8k turns, so something is wrong. Probably the tactic used to clear schoolgirls. I use a poor tactic myself. If I want to take risk (ignore mob and only attack SG) or use more resources (I don't use spirit shield, to save resources) I can probably finish in less turns.

no imperil?

i am too at ~7k ADB (% of my gears are low)

I haven't tried second skill yet (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
(didn't use any infusions ,shield still at 10.
none of the armor is forged)
Will try your suggestions (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

it seems so

ignore mob and only attack SG

This is probably a fast tactic, albeit risky. I tried with the last RoB, attacking only FSM (after Yggdrasil ofc). Because you let as many alive as possible, it's almost constant overwhelming strike for you. In exchange, you need to have high block + parry rate and your regen has to heal you fast enough.

try imperiling them SGs. and try to use second skill on stunned targets, just in case

And what? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Scremaz, after we discussed imperil mechanics a week ago I had tested it. It doesn't stack with penetrated armor at all. Penetrated armor gives 75% mitigation reduction....imperil adds nothing on top of this, aside from elemental mitigation (which doesn't apply to him or me unless we train dark imperil).

ALL_MIGHT, I only have 4500 adb, and I don't use infusion. It is just the tactic. First stab the SG down to penetrated armor x3. Then you must wait until they get a stun from counter attack. Then you use Vital Strike, the second skill. It needs stun to do its special ability damage.

Afterward the SG is probably dead. If it did not die, it will have bleeding wound very bad and will die quickly.

Make sure your spirit stance is on. This is probably the most annoying thing about SG arena because I can't keep it on all the time like usual (unless you use the extra risky tactic).

Using the second skill is bullshit, since the time it takes you to identify that a mob is susceptible to it, go select that skill and then hover back, you could have already hit the mob for even more damage.

The only thing that makes a minimum of sense is using OFC once there are 3 SGs. I'm clearing under 5.5k turns even though I'm still using a shortsword.

I think kukrak may still be using a shortsword, too.

Using the second skill only helps a little bit. I think if it were any weapon other than a rapier, it may not be worth the time it takes to select it. Since rapier damage revs up, at the point where the PA reaches full stack, doing the skill is more efficient. I suppose you could use a hotkey to do it, if you are really serious. The speed of your connection also plays a role in deciding.

Some players may not have orbital friendship cannon. I don't even have one figurine.

Some players may not have orbital friendship cannon.

personally i never found it so useful against anything above boss level. they're simply too much of punch bags to care about it. at that point i prefer to either use skills (in case it's one-of-a-kind like FSM) or to use Imperil (if it's a SG arena). and yep, it's worth the time to cast it - especially if you keybind it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

I use OFC with RMB and spirit stance with MMB.

I abuse the fuck out of OFC and get clears in ~5300 turns on PFUDOR DWD. Of course, I also use DW to clear SG arenas and run near 11k ADB, so.
