(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) You play DwD without imperil?

I think when I timed myself with Imperil it actually lost me about 30 seconds on average. The best results I got (with DW Club/Rapier style) was to kill 1-SG arenas, attempt every possible 2-SG with orbital friendship cannon (normally every second round, but by starting a round attacking SGs I can sometimes get my cooldown zeroed out after using OFC the previous round), and then using OFC every round in the 3-SG rounds.

Saying that, my tests aren't very valid at lower level ranges since the last few patches made it easier for Level 300-350 to do DWD PFUDOR, so my sense of timing would likely be thrown off badly if I was fighting monsters at level 300-350.

buying a legendary mace from bazaar while being hasty because only 12k, not realizing I was in 2handed tab and wanted a legendary club instead

mis-pressing a lifesaving cure for imperil with no options to defend otherwise and getting owned at last round of legendary IW, getting assblasted by ''In memories of darkmage (insert something here)'' for 30k void damage
These darkmages or peerless monsters hit like a truck when you don't watch their mp/sprit bars, not to mention that little shit had maxed weaken debuff on him still.

No spark and/or spirit shield?

1-SG is pretty particular in its own kind. For my part, I tend not to Imperil when it's Konata, unless I have an OFC ready to blast, in which case I Imperil her, hit a bit, then blast OFC to make sure to clear the entire round at once. In a general way, when I have an OFC ready to blast in a round of at least 6-7 monsters, I will imperil the SG and blast OFC only once I'm pretty sure it will kill her along with the rest.

But when it's 2 SGs... No, always Imperil no matter what. If there are monsters still alive, then be it and finish them.

Level 428 from Arena.

No spark and/or spirit shield?

I was testing out having spirit shield in auto cast (ac1: spark ac2: shadow veil (because it's annoying af to recast and even maxed has only 90 or so turns), and spirit shield in ac3.

So when I was with only option to hit the mob, spirit shield ate points to support spark of life because a huge crit, so it didn't allow spark to be useful. PFUDOR can be challenging sometimes,I guess

but later on to recompensate out of random encounter with like 5 mobs I got
this legendary cloth I just hope it's worth something other than scrap..

And today I scouted this legend rapier for like 11k credits in baazar, I can take it easy with IW on it since it's a bit higher than my current lvl but that's alright for now.
Tough a rapier of swiftness/nimbe would be better.

current main hand weapon
and off hand one
just slacked on IW'ing for no reason, Ideally I'd need a legend version of my current sword and weapons in check for a while.

more than HGC? yes for sure (* ^ ω ^)

Time to buff it up with IW and hope for holy/dark resists and some max mana thing,
btw what are the optimal prefixes/suffixes etc for a shield?

ole1
ole2

For example these ol'e magnif. ones , I know only 2 stat bonuses are shamefur for a magnificent.
But maybe I don't need to not achieve another thing and sell salvage something that is worth 10s k of credits.

All this learning about item's worth is confusing because there are so many combinations of each type of equip but once I get the clear understanding of it I'll try to contribute and make a general infograph of what goes before what regarding all stuffixes, prefixes types whatever.. players woul'd get cred more efficiently and a better understanding instead being scammed unaware of it , happy days.

We all need credits here to eventually exchange for hath, and all to fap efficiently to everything..
Remember that time when things like vanilla doujins were good enough or tentacle porn was a funny ''le Japanese meme, btw hentai means porn in Japanese xD''? Me neither.

For cloth you want Juggy ❤ on it

Auction the shield for (￣▽￣) $
value is complicated stuff, because as you said depends on stats and market
but a legendary cap at that level can sell for more than 18k guaranteed, even if it is cap (someone using willow staff which has less prof% maybe would like it. For redwood builds, shoes > gloves > cap > pants > robe)

btw what are the optimal prefixes/suffixes etc for a shield?

Prefixes is pretty easy. Reinforced, zircon, ruby, or onyx are probably the best possible ones, due to people's perception of what the most important damage types to defend against are. Shields can't have any truly "offense" prefixes, otherwise, that'd take first priority.

Agile (on Kite shields) is one I avoid. It's worse than having no prefix.

Mythril is a mixed bag. Burden is helpful to the 1h build for reducing evasion you have from sources like the Godslayer title and agility from your rapier. However, burden also reduces crit rate.

Every point of burden will have the following effect:

Reduces evade by 4/3%, or roughly 1.33% per burden (fully eliminates evasion at 75 burden).
The penalty is multiplicative; a player with 50% evade and 0 burden will be reduced to ~33.5% evasion at 25 burden.
If burden > 40, decreases melee attack speed bonuses (fully eliminates any bonus at 90 burden).
If burden > 70, decreases physical crit rate by 2%, (capped at 120 burden).

Suffix is a little simpler due to less options. Again, no offensive suffixes are available, so you're looking at "what is the best defensive suffix?"

"of Protection" has a lot of popularity due to the kind of information that has been mostly passed around and such. I'd say "of Dampening" is numerically superior, and "of Warding" is much better than most people are willing to admit.

That said, I wouldn't turn down an "of Stoneskin" or "of Deflection" on a high block shield.

uh oh
I've been auto scrapping everything that's not barrier.

Well, the nicer Bucklers are: Barrier, Battlecaster, Nimble
Kites and Force don't even have Barrier.

Actually, Nimble bucklers are crap aswell. I did the calculations not long ago, and the bonus given by Nimble can't possibly compete with the bonus given by Barrier, without even considering magical attacks.

Better than the other remaining prefixes at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

snip

Prefixes: Reinforced or Zircon (Holyproof) are the best. Cobalt/Amber/Ruby (Coldproof/Elecproof/Fireproof) is decent. Onyx (Darkproof) is meh. Jade (Windproof) is quite bad but still something.
Mithril and Agile are the worst.
(more specific, elemental damage income is roughly Holy >>>>>>>> Elec >> Fire >>>> Cold >>> Dark >>>>>>>>>>>> Wind)

Burden reduces crit only if it's > 70, and trust me, with good equipment, it's quite hard to obtain (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Suffixes: Dampening >>> Deflection > Protection >>>>> Warding > Stoneskin

Source: here for suffixes, here for damage data (for prefixes, you have to consider the specific mitigations he has, along with the damage log, to see the effective damage income before mitigations [prefixes and iw potencies], btw)

edit: fun fact, I explained the correct suffixes months before the actual "serious" discussion (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

The difference is so small that you shouldn't even consider it, just wait for barrier (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It's like Barrier >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[...]>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nimble > Everything else

No more grinding I see (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm holding myself from shrining artifacts since a week, I'm almost (10 billions exp or so?) lv 460.

What do you mean? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Well, not much time ago we were around the same level, then you had to grind to pay back some debt and you gained 10 levels in very few time, now you're leveling up slowly again (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Also, your nephew apparently has bad memory since I remembered only now that you have bad internet lately (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Yeah, that debt really did take quite a while. And well, i only level up so slowly because, well that is how fast you can be at that level. And it will get even slower. 125 Billion XP for 472. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) This will take a while.

Yeah it builds up quite fast, but 125 billion is still not that far from my current level's (78).
Once you hit lv 480 it becomes quite harsh, with ~10+ billions increases (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

May FSM bless Dawn exp, without that I would be probably around lv 350 (and with the current patch I would be happier, if I have to be honest (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) )
