SALT.
Actually double (first run was Butcher 2...).


Anyway, when I get something that's somehow valuable, people stop to buy it...where are all the people that until yesterday were buying actuators? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Earlier this week on Super's auction:

[Clo19] Legendary Frugal Phase Cap of Freyr (399, EDB 98%) (seller: nicknameee)

"Real mages are not interested in Frugal prefix, right? Looks like a good time to start building a 1H mage set on the cheap..."

djackallstar 3.502m #197

Maybe some other time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/lurk.gif)

EDB 98% will never be cheap.
Also I would honestly go Mjolnir for 1H Mage since the proc is much more useful (counter-resist for 1H mage is pretty good since they have none otherwise).

Finally figured out how to get Super-L's smart search script to install.
(Import from URL)

Now that's one hell of a script. Me like long time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

True that, I was just having fun with the idea. I expected more like 2M max though, but what do I know of mage gear prices (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Good advice with the Elec mage, but I was thinking of recycling some 1H mage armor if I ever go full mage, and I would like to go Wind mage. Also I have the Peerless Tempestous Rapier for a slight damage boost (pretty small though, base EDB is less than Mag+ Phase Shoes have, but cheap to forge).

Try club (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Unfortunately my axe is soulbound since a couple of weeks so I can't lend it to you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
Anyway, tried DW with OP8 and it's not that underwhelming but after experiencing permastance, non 1H bores you very fast (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah, I thought of trying Club main hand, but I don't have a good Slaughter Club and to be honest I haven't been looking for one since I dropped my DW experiment. Maybe one day...

You are right about the 1H experience too, it's such a pity that only 1H has a chance for permanent Spirit Stance.

it's one of the reasons because i want to go for Fatality. with DW Shade's innate high Crit chance (51% at my level, but i only have one SD) plus Heartseeker, it's like having something similar to Spirit Stance always on. or at least, it allows you a bit more of a mindless game. however with one full OC bar and a bit of luck i can clear 1.5~2 rounds usually.

I have no Shadowdancer and two Magnificent Shades in my old set and the crit chance is 50.1%, isn't yours a bit low considering that? Even my Power set has 49.3% crit chance because of couple Balance armors. I guess 2 rounds is not terrible for DW Spirit Stance, but it's unfortunately no good compared to 1H. Gaining OC is slower with DW too, not sure how well OFC works with DW, haven't tried that.

you do know that Overpower works in a multiplicative fashion, right? which means it doesn't simply remove (just saying) 20 points from mob's native parry, but 20% of such native parry.

I haven't really thought of that to be honest. Sounds like even with OP10 you could get parried pretty often. Speaking of which, I noticed that I sometimes get parried with 1H even when Overwhelming Strikes is active. Sometimes I wish that enough counter-parry had a similar effect as enough accuracy, meaning monsters couldn't parry you. Maybe that would be too OP though, especially if counter-resist was changed in a similar way. However, the difference between monster parry and resist is that parry is always 100% damage reduction. Maybe parry could be changed so that monsters can only parry X turns in a row, like pervdiz said.

your call, sir. personally i wouldn't trade a bunch of ADB for my 83% parry. but it's a game. do what you like (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

That parry also seems a bit low to me, my parry chance is 77.2% with the Aex/Rapier combination and 85.6% with Rapier/Wakizashi combination even though my Wakizashi parry is only forged to 30 (Rapier to 40). I'm sure your new Wakizashi will change that though, you should easily get 85%+ parry with that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I also realized that my low accuracy is with the Axe/Rapier set, my Rapier/Wakizashi set has 201.4% hit chance.

btw, just checked auctions prices. it seems i will really have to throw away a couple of millions this time. i'm not used to do this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I didn't see your name in many winning bids, maybe it you used a proxy like you said before. My auction week went pretty even: earned 240k and spent 250k (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Received a Crystallized Phazon.

Finally, after a long time.

Got savage armor of slaughter (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well, there are ~2m worth of bindings and ~5m worth of wood in that shield, it had to reach close to that bid.

Noticed that. so true.

I have no Shadowdancer and two Magnificent Shades in my old set and the crit chance is 50.1%, isn't yours a bit low considering that? Even my Power set has 49.3% crit chance because of couple Balance armors.

only one SD and two Mags (Rapier included) here as well. let's see what a new Rapier, Waki and Leggings may do. maybe even a bit of forging this time. and i should also earn a bit of fragments to soulfuse all my armors (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I guess 2 rounds is not terrible for DW Spirit Stance, but it's unfortunately no good compared to 1H. Gaining OC is slower with DW too, not sure how well OFC works with DW, haven't tried that.

but of course. we are speaking about a broken style vs. a decent one. you cannot compare DW with 1H - for the mere fact that no style can go on par with 1H.

well, missing a hit isn't that bad. as long as your Block or Evade/Parry is high enough for you not to take one free hit, of course.

That parry also seems a bit low to me, my parry chance is 77.2% with the Aex/Rapier combination and 85.6% with Rapier/Wakizashi combination even though my Wakizashi parry is only forged to 30 (Rapier to 40).

as i said previously, my gears aren't forged so much or even soulfused. now that i found something worth sinking a bit of credits, i may think about it.

Good luck with building the new set (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

"You currently have 8533 Soul Fragments." Yeah, haven't needed those for a while (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

but of course. we are speaking about a broken style vs. a decent one. you cannot compare DW with 1H - for the mere fact that no style can go on par with 1H.

You have a point there, but unfortunately the rebalancing patch is taking much longer than expected. That means 1H and mages will continue being the only really viable fighting styles until it happens.

mystery (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

At least you got the Savage Shade Boots, as did I. I will probably wait until I reach level 413 before I use mine and continue building a better Fleet/SD oriented Shade set meanwile. I need at least a Breastplate and Leggings.

yep. sadly, drk was more hungry than me this time. oh well, one competitor less for the next time - at least i hope.

"You currently have 8533 Soul Fragments." Yeah, haven't needed those for a while (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

885 here. and i don't even want to think about how many pieces i have to replace/soulfuse (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

why should it be a rebalancing one? we only know it will affect mitigations. whether it's for good or bad, we don't know it.

nah, that was just a spare one i bidded on randomly. i already have another similar piece. in the end i only earned one upgrade out of three i planned this week. oh well. better luck next time.
