[X] My Assistant

Excellent!

I should clarify: I haven't pumped my mage-related abilities, I meant the EXP-allocated Int/Wis stats.
I figure for "my style," the phys to psych ratio should prob'ly be about 60/40, maybe a little higher, like 68/32 or something, but I just prefer a more even ratio. It wouldn't be as interesting for me to merely "Hulk SMASH!!" my way through levels, I like using spells as well, even though it's less efficient or effective or whatever.
But I know part of my difficulty is because i chose this ratio, and that when I get my ass pounded like a drunk cheerleader at her first kegger, it's my own damn fault.

It's fine. For those wavering between melee and mage, even distribution of points to all stats is good. In fact, there's not a whole lot of difference even if you committed to one style, because dropping the one unused attribute by 40 points won't be able to move the remaining stats by more than a few points, which is not really significant.

I'm guilty again, but for these questions and the one below, the Ask the Experts thread is the appropriate place.

What is your playing style? You are 15 levels beyond so I feel you're the person to ask, considering those 350+ giving advice already have most things unlocked and maxed.

UNLUCKY, BAD 0.82.

This thread needs some Fallout 4.

What about abilites? Do you IW your eq?

I'm asking because PFUDOR is impossible for me (barely survived 5 rounds of second arena, got thrashed on the 6th) as of now. IWBTH is managable if I'm against <=5 monsters, but even then it's not a sure win, plus I use up ton of scrolls and infusions to pass potions cooldown. Nintendo is almost always a win, although I have died a few times due to multiple special attacks from the monsters out of ten.
Currently I have this set:

Not sure if my answer should be in the ask the expert thread but yeah (I'm definitely not an expert in any case)

1h playing style rapier/shield combo
with a not so great stat
36Block
31.3 Parry
60.5PMI

I have only IW my Rapier
but this was like a really recent thing. (yeah I know that rapier is junk but its like the best weapon I've found after the patch)

Also on a patch related note after 0.82 the pxp seems to have decreased on average to more realistic levels so IW feels slightly easier)

Wearing full heavy Power (mixed but non-slaughter)

Essentially ability for me is like obviously all the standard ones in general, heavy and 1h.
In terms of deprecating and support I have max out as much as my level allows me to on:
Faster Weaken, Better Imperil,Faster Imperial, Mind Control, Better Silence
Better Haste,Stronger Spirit,Better Heartseeker, Better Regen, Cure and Protection

Yes I agree with Frederiksc on sleep breaks too soon but its good if silence should fail on you or you just need some breathing room (remember mobs with full sp will very likely SP attack you, so remove them from play ASAP) just don't attack sleeping monster until killing every other mobs to max out the time they are out of play.

I have 1 lvl in storm spike shield (give enemy chance to miss from memory)
and highest holy imperil I could get. (yes probably waste of points)

Yeah will need to purchase quite a few ability training

I don't know if this will help you as a wind mage since I play the 1h/shield heavy style. I'm not sure mage can survive PF easily at low levels (as in < lvl 300), I was wearing mage amour with full buff and I was still getting hurt on like hard or something from memory.

But on my heavy power set and full buffs PF mobs normal attack hurt a little but survivable and in IWBTH normal attacks don't really worry me too much (even from multiple mobs because most attacks are blocked or parried) the only things that actually hurt are mp attacks and sp attack which is all sorted out through silence/sleep/stun.

Oh and my prof are 213 on both 1h and heavy, 181 Supportive, 115 deprecating

This thread has already turned into weird combination of Ask The Experts, HV Chat and HV Complaints Thread anyway, so I'm just adding something different from time to time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well I asked the experts on my rapier whether to soulfuse it and the response I got seems to be its junk but its good enough for your level.

Also @ piyin it wasn't a question its just me rambling again to answer a question that was directed at me by Unsibscribed many post ago since we are of similar levels. The thing is experts are super high level so they kinda have a skewed view on difficulties level so I gave my views from my perspective as a noob on how I was approaching higher level RE at low levels. (then again someone gonna post me or PM me something about the blind leading the blind lol)

Yeah right...junk...compare to those Leg xxx Rapier of Slaughter with M+ base Parry and Damage roll... Anything below M+ roll is junk to them...

Your rapier is pretty much better in every way except weapon damage it even has 3 PAB.

I mean I bought my rapier in the bazaar for like 5k to 10k or something

EDIT: I apologise for contributing in turning this thread into chat thread so I'm gonna be silent now on this thread for the next couple of days unless I've got a bug or something.

BTW I'm not sure this is an old bug since I'm new here but at the shop if you press on your own item like scrap metal and then you select the shops scrap metal, the accept key greys out and doesn't let you do anything until you select another item.

Since this patch everything exq on weapons seems to 2PAB for me. Unassigned LEG and MAG weapons will come short stacked at lower levels unless the majority invests in quartermaster and scavenger. I am sure 10B can read my drops / trade ins for EXQ and may proves me wrong, but anything below MAG (1.1 quality modifier) and 2 PAB is now the real trash.

People, get unassigned 3PABs EXQs / MAGs / LEGs ... NOW!

Also adverstising for
Fallout 5 - Nuclear winter in Manehattan
featuring Ponymeat - a branded new companion for our hero coming in five selectable styles
- Pinky Cake: No fur
- Apple Black: Strong burn marks
- Trilight Sparkle: Glowing green, red and purple
- Flutterdie: Twitching and rotten
- Rainbow Hash: Depressed and suicidal
(Parody. Not to be taken seriously)

Thank you for your time.

On topic, I believe mages need new skills. 1H and DW already have 3 spirit skills, while mages only 1. Doesn't seem very promising.

10B did say there would have less troll drops in 0.82 so that we can spend less time to check them one by one.
Now, we will not have any troll Exq. We can bazaar all Exq directly.
No more troll Mag. We can bazaar them when there is missing PABs.
No more troll shield. See AGI and go bazaar.

Save a lot of time.

"Even the Americans couldn't make a bigger mess of this."



"FORWARD!!"

I myself don't really appreciate being told that Exq is trash, when it's the best I can ever get at my level. And I'm certainly investing the maximum of credits into my drop rolls training. Either some people are forgetting what they've been through to be where they are, or they have never had the trouble I've been through since I started playing 1 month ago.

I can barely afford playing the 3 first arenas on Nintendo/Hell difficulty to have the tiniest chance of getting a Leg, without risking to find myself killed during the arena. Don't forget that you need decent stuff before being able to obtain the ultimate stuff. When I have something like a prefixed superior, I'm already very happy with this.

As far as I understood, this update was meant to make it so players obtain and use the equipment suited for their level. If me using only Sup and Exq equipment around my level is supposed to be the case, then I'll say that the update succeeded.
