I thought that was for testing, the hell is your routine and gear?

for melee, pot mechanism really good.

for mage, they just dead. m draught 7-8 MP/turn just hell for mage.

------

about the new MP potion. it just trash.

before with greater MP pot, I can fully restore 3/4 or more from my mana pool.

with new potion, only 1/3

Yesterday's result:
Today's result:

Before entering the Arenas:

Health Draught: 352
Health Potion: 307
Health Elixir: 129

Mana Draught: 500
Mana Potion: 500
Mana Elixir: 89

Spirit Draught: 266
Spirit Potion: 234
Spirit Elixir: 143
After the Arena+RE:

Health Draught: 373 (+21)
Health Potion: 343 (+36)
Health Elixir: 131 (+2)

Mana Draught: 558 (+58)
Mana Potion: 352 (-148)
Mana Elixir: 78 (-11)

Spirit Draught: 262 (-4)
Spirit Potion: 251 (+17)
Spirit Elixir: 147 (+4)

Same as before: IWBTH difficulty + Elec Mage + Imperil.
Mana Potions and Mana Elixirs are NOT dropping enough for self sustaining, let alone make a stockpile.

@Tenboro, can you please say something on this matter?

Did you actually buy these pots? Hard to believe you've collected so many with such a huge deficit. I think you need better gear, or to adjust your strategy.

I try but the game wants me to stay dead.

You can start by changing your title you freakin noob

Change your title silly, and play on a lower difficulty if you keep dying.
It should be much easier to stay alive post-patch.

Since he's still using the Newbie title, it's possible that he's never looked at his Hentaiverse Settings.
And if he's never looked at his Hentaiverse Settings, then it's possible that he's playing on Normal difficulty with no Quickbar Slots assigned.
And if he's playing on Normal difficulty with no Quickbar Slots assigned, then it's possible that he doesn't use buffs during combat.
And if he doesn't use buffs during combat, then that might explain why he stays dead.

That IS a testing, and that IS my routine. That's the best I can do right now with my temporary set. Once I soulfuse my main set, I can do a bit better. But it's still very marginal performance increase.

Not every people is rich/lucky enough to afford/drop top notch gears. So what I'm saying also applies to other "low level" mages in general.

Except they don't exclusively play on IWBTH difficulty (or at least they shouldn't be).

I bought most of those Elixirs BEFORE the patch, when they were considered "Obsolete".
Anyway, I'm gonna do some more tests in the next few days and see if that helps or not.

So you're saying that IWBTH and PFUDOR are only for Melee?

because when pfudor is achievable with mage people will be bored again.

"low level"

I'm drawing attention to this part.

Your point?

You don't need to replace your gear as often as some people seem to think. I'm 20 levels above my gear and I see no immediate need to replace it. I should be able to survive another 10 levels using this same gear, no problem.

greed is gear
greed is game
greed is fun

i think need gear
becoz i died many times

=( u have not problem
i have big problem

Your point?

You're complaining that low levels would have trouble with restorative drops but there's no way they use as much as you do or need them as badly.

Then tell me, how much potions do they generally use? I'll change my strategy according to that and see if that works or not.

Then tell me, how much potions do they generally use?

Close to none if they play on lower difficulties and use Ether Tap a bit.

Thread is growing faster than I can read it. RIP.

So I finally broke down and started playing, first naked+drops, then buying from the bazaar. The new pots don't make much difference with good gear. With ok gear you have to lower the difficulty or lose your income on buying pots. (Exquisites selling for 700c. Why.) With low level or bad gear, you have to watch your play. The draughts probably make it easier for good-geared melee now compared to prepatch. Is this correct?

What really sucks is finding better gear at a lower item level in the bazaar, because it devalues the forge. There's no longer a point in getting those cheap, early forge levels anymore, and that goes double for item world.

Close to none if they play on lower difficulties and use Ether Tap a bit.

So, again, you're saying that high difficulty should NOT be for mages?

Anyway, I'll give Tapping a try and see if that makes any difference. But I'm not gonna lower the difficulty.

10B, will random equipment PAB, caused by this patch, be addressed?
The annoyance I've found are AGI on shield and missing one PAB for light armors.

Quite possibly.

Fixed the ranges but no change to existing ones? Shouldn't you update all post-patch generated Estoc and Mace too... or at least my 2 Peerless ones? So I need to pay millions of credits again to test if you have fixed that? And if there's something wrong again it's me to suffer? Do you know how much effort is put in getting 1 Peerless item? I can only get bugged/crap Peerless?

Changing existing equipment stats in the database is both risky and time-consuming, so it's not generally something I'm willing to do, but I did update those two yesterday (they were the only affected ones). The system isn't designed to ever have equipment stats change though, so you'll probably have to equip and unequip them to make the cache to update.

Also, that problem of missing PAB on Shade armor is just crazy. I don't think any players already owning Shade armors with all the PABs would want to switch from their old ones to a new one with some PAB missing.

Aye.

Is it really working right? Besides that, maybe it's just confirmation bias, but my own drops have seemed worse off than before, especially arena clear bonuses.

When I get some actual time, I'll be looking more closely at the pre-patch and post-patch drop rates and adjust as necessary.

As for Superlatinum's screenshot of PFUDOR DwD spitting out a Fair Axe for its clear bonus -- I don't know. DwD has no trophy at the end, so maybe there's a bug there.

Fake and gay.
