I stay here trying to understand how you can get such a low number of turns!? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Even considering that our styles are different (mine is 1H and yours is DW+Heavy), the difference is big.

100: I don't have the data. I just remember that it was less than 9 minutes.
110: Lowest turns: 1,792 ___ Lowest time: 10min 45s
125: Lowest turns: 2,386 ___ Lowest time: 14min 10s
150: Lowest turns: 3,895 ___ Lowest time: 23min 16s

Now I had a question: could the "stun" be contributing to this difference?

maybe it's the level difference... or FB vs VS

I think the style is the biggest difference. People thinking 1H is superior has probably never been quite right. Frenzy Blows is way better than Vital Strike.

If there is any caveat to what lololo achieves, it's could be that DW+Heavy is a defensively weak style, so it might not work as well in non-SG arenas at a lower level. But at higher level should be fine.

Also keep in mind that lololo is not fully forged with either Light or Heavy, so he can get a bit faster still.

My guess is that all the other melee styles are also quite competitive with 1H regarding offense and clear times, but few people have have pushed them to their limit, and there's no discussion or tests. The only thing 1H is obviously superior on is defense, though even that is not for certain when considering 2H Mace, or DW Club (spread targeting style), or FRD Niten.

- skip -

Though I am by no means an expert, I do play both styles, and around my level the main difference I see between the two is that DW is faster but requires more buffs and Regen always on; while with 1H Health Draughts are usually enough but is slower, especially in turns with many monsters (where FB does the difference, really, and is also faster to recharge).

Only, I have always played DW with Shade. I thought DW+Heavy wasn't viable, but now you say Lololo use it and I'm intrigued.

With what weapons choice would you play DW+Heavy (assuming Power Slaughter for armour) vs. DW+Shade weapons ?

Lololo uses a full set of mithril slaughter armors with the standard arena setup - club/rapier (check his sig). It's definitely viable for DWD - arenas are super easy, especially schoolgirls. It might not be so viable at low level (I remember trying it myself in the 300s and not having a nice time).

I have 1000 karma imbuing power now. Not sure when it happened but it was this year, because I was in the 900s for piyin's karma contest giveaway.

This must have happened a short time ago.

I had 975 karma before I acquired Gold Star (two weeks ago). Just 24 hours later, it went to 1000 (it's actually 1953 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) ).

And I remember that you had a little more karma than mine (1 to 3 points above).

Guess I was way too scared about nothing. Dovahkiin seems to be the next stop but who knows what fate has in store for me. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

collected 100 artifacts im gonna try 1000 yas

Peerless Onyx Shade Leggings of Negation

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Wow it's amazing; And to think that I was about to send this equipment to Reforge because the first result I got was Fireproof level 2, Juggernaut level 1, and while I continued to perform the Item world, Fireproof levels continued to appear like this until I reached level 5.

But even so, the Juggernaut potency was still there and there was a chance that I could get the level 3 Juggernaut I was looking to get, at the first time without spending Amnesia Shard's, I NEVER EVER IMAGINE THAT I WAS GOING TO GET WITHOUT SPENDING ANY AMNESIA SHARD MY FIRST LEVEL 5 JUGGERNAUT, and in the Peerlesss equipment that I wanted to equip. I've been doing very well lately in the IW for my equipment and weapons that I use, but the opposite happens for the equipment I want to sell.

Nice, you are a lucky man.

First time winning at one of the Lotteries, and it's the Armor Grand Prize (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I'm usually buying 1 ticket and opt out of the equip, hoping to get Chaos Token, but this time I didn't, and got the equip (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Well, these gauntlets can replace my current ones, which is nice.

Lucky! I do the same so you gave me hope to win, even if it's a 0.018% to win or so, you never know how many tickets one single person has in those after all so the chances might be higher. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I, too, was inspired to do this by others telling how they won with a small number of tickets (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Anyone has a chance to win, and I got GP to spare, so in the Lotteries they go (sometimes (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ).
Maybe you'll be the winner of one of the next lotteries (or even both? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) )

Took the last proficiency hath perk I was missing, not the more useful, but still may make a little difference.

I'm more or less able to clear Random Encounters on PFUDOR consistently now, it comes to a bit of luck though regarding whether I get crit'd first or I manage to generate enough OC to win, particularly in full rounds. That's a bit worriesome regarding the last Ring of Blood stage which is the last one left to challenge on such difficulty but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully those 10 tokens are not wasted when the time comes... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Both huh? At that point it's time to go for a lottery ticket in real life, who knows what could happen with that kind of luck (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
