Yeah, it is pretty bad =(

Maybe you made something wrong with re-hashing in torrent-manager?

Nice! Great job =)

probably. it seems my whole folder of temporary videos waiting to be seen/trimmed/whatever has been erased. better to make two different folders from now on, i guess.
luckily they are still available as BDRip so it won't require too much, but all the hours spent with video splitter have gone. crap. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

uhu. i have an external 500GB drive which appears to be more and more damaged everytime i open it. i don't have what it requires to look at it anymore. even by sacrificing something, 200~300 GB worth of movies, games, H... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

fact is, i don't even know if it's due to a HD fault or only the USB adapter. is there a way to check it without breaking the case? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

lol. 327k here (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But it's not for something extremely informal like yours here. :1

Just believe in GT, pls '3'

probably. it seems my whole folder of temporary videos waiting to be seen/trimmed/whatever has been erased. better to make two different folders from now on, i guess.

You need to create three different folders: one for torrent files (*.torrent) itself, second for files you are downloading (kind of TEMP folder) and third one for completed, already downloaded files. Other way - you will take a lot hashing errors, especially when you have files with same names...
Like this:
[s019.radikal.ru] (IMG:[s019.radikal.ru] http://s019.radikal.ru/i600/1603/a9/617e7b706b76t.jpg)
Ouu, and it is better to switch on option for relocating space for torrent's content on hard drive at the start of downloading - this way you will prevent any errors when your harddisk's space ran out. =)
There are many options for torrent manager you can switch on to increase security and prevent any errors, need to read some documentation in Net... ^^

is there a way to check it without breaking the case? unsure.gif

I guess no, but I am not a harddisk specialist =(

lol. 327k here (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

340k here

75 1h prof, grinding a bit, but I don't like it much and I like it much either.
Good durability, eternal spirit stance (I got 90 consecutive turns with the same stance, with shadow veil active and only 45-50% CA [it rose during the arena (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ]), stunned monsters.
But it's slow compared to dw (I know I have low prof, but I'm more than 2 times slower, and I have 2700 base attack [with 12 prof it was 2500] instead of 4700 [2/5 power] lol), the flickering of Overwhelming Strikes' icon confuses me when other spells are expiring (and I died once because of that...I missed Spirit Shield (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ), and I can't leave a monster with a tiny bar of health and go on with the next because I don't have BW chance with 1H (and CA seems to avoid on purpose to hit nearly-dead monsters lol). And what's more, with 1H the spirit points bar seems to go down twice as fast than with DW, despite taking less damage due to block.
I don't know. I still prefer DW to 1H.

Speaking of hard disks, my 2 TB external one is almost full...I have to recompress all anime, I think
Or maybe delete the non-exceptional, since I don't think I will see them one more time.
But I'm like that, I don't feel comfortable at deleting stuff that may have some use in the future (and it won't, I have stuff I haven't touched since 2007)

Total Karma: 707135 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

still far from 1M karma (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Is a DW is so good?

It is and it isn't at the same time.
1H is clearly broken like this, it has some flaws but they are personal...like the flickering thing, maybe if I was used to the script that disables that, I will look at cooldowns and not die because the icons didn't flicker and I didn't recast the spells. And for SP...you just need to raise the SP Pot ability.
Yeah, with DW I go on with SP Pot ability at 0, and I keep my spirit ok like that...lol

I don't know if "common" DW is good, better, or worse of your play style.
"Commonly", DW is played with Light Armor, to get some Evade and high Resist Chance, along with attack speed bonus due to low BUR, and stuff.

*personal experience tl;dr incoming*
But my combo is DW + Heavy, that is a bit of a paradox in some ways, but it works in some others.
Like, Shade stuff has very low attack bonuses compared to Power.
At highest levels the difference is around 2500 total, I think (I saw power of slaughter with 800+, and shade of shadowdancer [some heavily forged too] stuff with 300...).
And that's the main motivation that bringed me to prefer Heavy instead of Light.
Damage, plus the double weapon, equals one of the highest damage output of the metagame.
And with some issues of Heavy armor, you can get some other advantages, like not needing a Wakizashi in offhand, because you can stick with a Rapier of Nimble in offhand with no problem, losing a little bit of parry (very little, about 3-4%), you don't have to worry about the rapier not having attack speed like the waki, because with bur you have heavy reduction of that. And that's it, dw needs a rapier to get PA like 1H, but in this way you can equip freely a high-damage weapon in mainhand, and not the rapier, that has very low damage (peerless rapier has like mag shortsword/exq axe values). You can go for a shortsword for defensive play, or even with an axe if you like raw damage. (but I prefer 20% more parry from a shortsword personally).
The only REAL drawback of this is...magic.
In high-number rounds (8-9-10 monsters), with an high number of magic monsters, you could have some problems like curing every 2-3-4 turns and burning out a lot of MP.
But if the magic monsters are few, or if you silence them, you have no problems at all.
High physical mitigation (higher than light armor), high parry.
It's worth to try in my opinion. But everyone has its favourite style, or prefers the most efficient, like 1h heavy or mage.
*end*

I'm using DW heavy long time ago when HTTP still around (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

After back from inactive ( xmas 2013 to easter 2015 ) , I feel that DW heavy need alot of cure in PFUDOR arenas compare with mid/late 2013 ~ because at that time only some trainer who have alot of high lvl mobs ~ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That why I decide to go back using my 1st style when begin playing HV ~ 1h (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


btw , leg power slaughter can boost your ADB alot with heavy forging (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I got 1200+ from my armor only with 80 forging ADB (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Cool. And good to know :3
Then I'll go on with Heavy DW for a bit...it's only one piece of difference (the shield) from 1h after all ^.^

1h prof 90.
Talking of nonsense, I was grinding in some low-tier IW for prof, and the first result is this
5-4 potencies at the first try on a useless item, nice job rng, nice job

Also, you can laugh at the shield I'm using right now for grinding 1H prof too.

You need to create three different folders: one for torrent files (*.torrent) itself, second for files you are downloading (kind of TEMP folder) and third one for completed, already downloaded files. Other way - you will take a lot hashing errors, especially when you have files with same names...

oh. TEMP and finished were the same. well, let's try it this way...

Ouu, and it is better to switch on option for relocating space for torrent's content on hard drive at the start of downloading - this way you will prevent any errors when your harddisk's space ran out. =)

yep, i learnt it a few years ago, back when i still used emule (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

75 1h prof, grinding a bit, but I don't like it much and I like it much either.
Good durability, eternal spirit stance (I got 90 consecutive turns with the same stance, with shadow veil active and only 45-50% CA [it rose during the arena (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ]), stunned monsters.

it will be even better with 200+ prof. sweet point of 1H is counter ability, which actively raises your damage and has boosts at 100 and 200 prof.
also, try to avoid shadow veil since it lowers the number of counters - thus slowering you.

And what's more, with 1H the spirit points bar seems to go down twice as fast than with DW, despite taking less damage due to block.

yep. perma-spirit stance has a cost. but it's absolutely worth it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I can't leave a monster with a tiny bar of health and go on with the next because I don't have BW chance with 1H (and CA seems to avoid on purpose to hit nearly-dead monsters lol).

counters procs less at lower profs. with 3 per turn you will see the opposite trend, just wait a bit (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But I'm like that, I don't feel comfortable at deleting stuff that may have some use in the future (and it won't, I have stuff I haven't touched since 2007)

i am sort of a hoarder too so i do know something as well. just found a couple of folders extra-filled with portable software that were alreadu obsolete when i downloaded them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
and what about porn? H doujins/images are still a bit comprehensible, but the porn video is named something like \videos\-_- (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Speaking of hard disks, my 2 TB external one is almost full...I have to recompress all anime, I think
Or maybe delete the non-exceptional, since I don't think I will see them one more time.

delete the unneeded ones. eventually keep only the good scenes. need a trimmer? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Is a DW is so good? I started as 1H and playing it and only it all time. Need to give a chance? Good combos, anyone? (yeah, it is not "ask an expert" thread, but who cares anyway? Moderation of forum not so brutal and its good. There is a [scpfoundation.ru] russian brunch of SCP foundation - moders and admin here are so crazy and rude. Spend 3-4 months here - nah, thanks no... >_>

DW is decent. its best point is that it's the only other melee style that can be played quite safely. very good especially with low number of mobs.

And for SP...you just need to raise the SP Pot ability.
Yeah, with DW I go on with SP Pot ability at 0, and I keep my spirit ok like that...lol

erm... do you use Spirit Stance? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

"Commonly", DW is played with Light Armor, to get some Evade and high Resist Chance, along with attack speed bonus due to low BUR, and stuff.

some? my DW build has 54% native Evade. combine it with 25% from Shadow Veil and you'll earn something like 65%. basically, you don't even see 2/3rd of the attacks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
and just in case some attack passes, i have 83% parry (which means i actually see only 6% of physical attacks) and 74% resist (which means a further 26% pf magical attacks is at least lowered). then, mitigations will start to work if needed.

But my combo is DW + Heavy, that is a bit of a paradox in some ways, but it works in some others.
Like, Shade stuff has very low attack bonuses compared to Power.

shade has lower ADB, true. but has higher evade as well, which is the first (and most important!) defensive layer. and decent resist, which is another good layer that power lacks. if it works for you, then all the best. but on the paper it has many flaws...

you don't have to worry about the rapier not having attack speed like the waki

attack speed isn't so useful. it can lower incoming damage per turn, but somehow lowers even your own damage as well. 50-50. and there's still Haste, btw.

in this way you can equip freely a high-damage weapon in mainhand, and not the rapier, that has very low damage (peerless rapier has like mag shortsword/exq axe values). You can go for a shortsword for defensive play, or even with an axe if you like raw damage. (but I prefer 20% more parry from a shortsword personally).

the big problem about using a high-damage weapon isn't about missing speed. it's more a matter of low parry. it's true that i didn't try DW/Power, but i'm too proud of my parry to throw it away like that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The only REAL drawback of this is...magic.
In high-number rounds (8-9-10 monsters), with an high number of magic monsters, you could have some problems like curing every 2-3-4 turns and burning out a lot of MP.

curing every 2-3-4 turns means +33%/+25%/+20% time needed. more potions means more time lost and slightly less incoming. not bad.
also, since you have less evade i bet also SP will be quite hurt, isn't it?

High physical mitigation (higher than light armor), high parry.

don't know if i'm strange but difference in PMI between my Shade and my Power build is only 2% (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Then I'll go on with Heavy DW for a bit...it's only one piece of difference (the shield) from 1h after all ^.^

oh, this is a whole other matter. if you can switch set only with a piece... just curious, which rapier are you using?

cut

I'll respond to all these now xD

I need shadow veil when the number of monsters is high, still. Maybe when prof will raise, I will not use it.
But yeah, with 5+ monsters rounds even with shadow veil my stance is eternal >.<

The sp waste with 1H is not because of the spirit stance, it goes down in some situations, brutally, lol.
I have to use a lot more SP potions with 1H.
It seems a paradox, with 1h I'm more defensive, but still my spirit receive hard hits more with 1H than DW lol...but probably most are physical hits, so I don't feel them that much because my higher mit xD

Now that you say this to me, I could cut scenes from hentais. My hentai folder is even heavier than the normal anime one xD

Yeah I use Spirit Stance every time I have OC = 250. It takes about 1 round to charge completely (with 1h one monster is enough), then lasts around 5-6 to 10-15 rounds (with 1H if the rounds are at least 5 monsters, it doesn't end lol, without shadov veil of course, I activate it only at 8/9+ monsters rounds). But still, as I said above, with 1H my spirit goes down more likely. And it's not the 1 SP point per attack.

Yeah, I said "some" evade because, with my light set (yes, I have one, I take every drop and if it's better than the previous, I change it, and now it's a pretty decent set: my norm weapons + mag shade helmet of negation with 4 pabs, exq shade breastplate of negation with 4 pabs, magnificent gauntlets (of dampening, sigh) with 4 pabs, magnificent leggings of warding with 4 pabs, magnificent zircon boots of protection with 4 pabs) I have 31,5% evade, 63% parry and 60% resist, lol
And still I have 500 less adb with this set, and I'm full 4 pabs...the heavy has most pieces with 2, some with 3 pabs, and has almost 5000.

For the parry thing, you missed the first part of my point.
I said that, if you equip a shortsword in mainhand, you'll need a nimble weapon in offhand, and since you need piercing dmg, you can go for a rapier. That has slightly less parry, but still very high.
I think that for heavy dw the max damage output + the best defense possible along with it, is shortword of slaughter + rapier of nimble.

And yeah, heavy slaughter stuff has very low mitigations compared to protection/balance/warding (even power stuff), and higher your level is, less the mitigation of items counts in the total mitigation. But at mid levels you aren't full slaughter, and you have lower primary attributes, and difference in mitigation is very consistent...with light set 2 shades + 3 normal I have around 60/60, with heavy with 1 power slaughter + 1 power balance + 2 protection + 1 warding I have 70/65

My rapier is this for the moment.
Nothing special, I bought it from the bazaar at 4k and soulfused with very few fragments.
IWed like this at the second try, I got only SS 2 but whatever, it isn't my final weapon so I'll keep this with only 2 amnesias used (btw, thanks for one of those two you sent me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)), it's still better than the SS 2 that popped up istantly in the first try >.<
I received some quite good offers of mag rapiers slightly better (2-3 base adb with but4 instead of but3, so 1-2 starting base adb of difference, and little [0,5 max] base pabs, but whatever, meh) than mine, but I thought that using 600k-1m to buy those and then farming 100-150 fragments wasn't worth the effort...I will aim at legendaries when I'll surpass the 350s, or even wait the 400, so I can soulfuse everything.

Since 1h isn't my main style and I don't think it will be ever, probably if I find a Leg Rapier of Nimble I'll use it as a mainhand for 1h too, and screw the 30% adb of slaughter, 1h is mostly a defensive style, in my opinion. In fact I think that I'll use it from now on for RE, because it's very comfortable (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif), but for arenas and other stuff, DW all the way...the clear speed isn't even comparable, even at the cost of curing a bit more in the last rounds of big arenas.

Ah, comunque ti ho risposto in inglese così la gente qua sopra non deve usare il traduttore per capire.
Anche se avrei potuto fregarmene e scrivere in italiano, sinceramente, ma vabbè xD



Another thing: dropped this.
Do I have to toss this (that I'm using now) and keep the one I dropped?
I will lose something like 5 end 47 agi and some mag mit, and gain around 0,5 phys mit and 42 str, and MAYBE 1% block (not sure). Is it worth it? :v
Edit: In the waiting time I will start forging 5 block to see how much I'll gain...lol
