another 1000 tickets well spent. see, i told you i would be catching horses

according to my calculations, a mace or estoc of balance may outperform a slaughter weapon if crit damage is high enough. it depends on the impact of the increased number of procs, which i will not bother trying to calculate since i will have to test it out anyway

congrats! I forgot to put my tickets in on it yesterday (I have a long history of 10-20k tickets on PEMS resulting in nothing, or worthless chaos tokens) but when I saw it went to you, that softened the blow a lot (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

By the way - my own calculations show balance to be definitely behind in damage - even for DW, with fat5 on both weapons (and this applied to plain & savage prefix armors, several weapon setups, and even with heavy armor - slaughter and balance both). This applied at any percentile, and any forge level, too. I'm interested in what calculation you did to see otherwise...

That said, like you say, the proc rate increase may outweigh that difference (or at least considerably narrow the gap). I really hope so. It would be cool to see. Though can it really be a meta change if you're the only person playing 2H at high level anyway? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

i used my own gear as a basis to calculate relative damage, factoring in crit chance, crit damage and heartseeker. slaughter is still ahead in raw numbers (not considering the impact of procs), but the gap gets very narrow even without full savage or armour forged to the same level as weapons, to the point where experiments are needed to know for sure

Lucker. I spent 1500 and got absolutely nothing.

4 days to get from 496 to 497.

Mage is hella fast! (Especially the time it takes to get killed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif))

Wish I have more time to suffer play.

Reached lv.220 during my Arena runs and created 2 new monsters to celebrate.

4 days to get from 496 to 497.

20 days to get from 496 to 497... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Only 3 left now (60 days). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Lvl. 479 and unlocked two more monster slots.

Bumping main monster above 1400 really hit a sweet spot huh
And PL 1104 is barely worth anything anymore...to think not even too long ago it was high enough to encounter often (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)
(and let's not talk about gift factor aka useless factor since the last monster lab change (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) )



edit: and with today's wins, main monster has now 657 total wins, exactly 200 more than when I raised it from its old power level.
Roughly 5 wins/day. And only 3 gifts/day. Doesn't compute.

I keep saying this, but nobody ever seems to listen...

Wins do not give an automatic gift. They have a chance to give a gift that increases in likeliness depending on how many battles have been won, and how much time has passed, since the last gift.

There may be an internal cooldown on gifts, too, but I am not sure about this.

My 2250s can get 10+ wins a day with only 3 gifts to show for it.

Forgot to participate in the last armor lotto. It's been like what, more than a year since the last time I didn't join lotto.

I guess I'm slowly fading away...

So then the net effect is that typical PL monsters (who rarely win due to not participating in enough battles) will tend to get a gift for almost every win? While high PL monsters who fight regularly, have diminished likelihood of getting a gift for a win?

570 Deprecating proficiency. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Made level 415. It's really starting to slow down now, feels like months pass between level ups at this point.

Maybe you could play a bit more?

Finished my 1st PFFEST as mage in less than 1 hour.
It's still too difficult to be decently enjoyable and profitable though. I need even more forging, and more dakka.

finally, all of my team of high-level monsters have gift factor 180% or higher

Went from lv.220 to 225 in 4 days, shrined 3 Artifacts to celebrate and got 2 Energy Drinks out of it (and a +1 Dex from the 3rd PA).
Gonna sell them quickly before I use one of them by missclick again...

Prof Factor 0.96 and soon i can stop carring about it once and for all. A bit underwhelming tbh. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Somehow i thought that would be a bigger deal to get to 1.0. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

dd8 in a year or more, let's hope for good drops to help ease the load
