Ya I usually use less items on sealed power too... Think it just says whatever title you have on when you clear an arena for the first time now that they don't change with level.
And your actually using the destined title???.... -10% burden seems kind of meh compared to 2% evade.

Depends on what type of armor you use. If you use heavy, that's 10% off probably 120 burden, so 12 more action speed. Pair that with proficiency, and you might take less damage.

I personally think it should give you both (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I might switch between the two depending on if I'm going two-handed (which adds like 25 burden) or dual wield.

Using Destined with my normal setup reduces my burden from 40 to 36, and my evade from 26 to 24. So not really sure if it's worth it.

I just did 155 rounds of Cakeworld. OMG, my eyes are burning.

Sealed Power Cleared. I found a fair katana (superior pleeease) and average staff of something 1 round later.

80 18 You gain 30897 Credits!

80 13 Mithra dropped [Mithra's Flower]
80 12 White Bunneh dropped [Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]
80 11 You are Victorious!

Enough with the kite shields. More with the katanas, tower shields, and magnificent ethereal ruby rapiers of the nimble.

I did 185 rounds of Item World on normal last night. Oh, the humanity.

Just cleared Endgame for the first time since whichever update it was that we started getting smacked around more (maybe longer, since the last one was a fluke due to SW). Took 8 Godly Mana Draughts, a Godly Health Draught, a Scroll of Shielding, and a precious Mana Elixir. And I still had to use my Spirit or I would have lost. Interference kept causing my Silence to fail more even though I have less Interference than the last time. I don't think I'll be doing this again any time soon.

2. You'd be wrong. And it was about 2.1 million, so a fairly good guess.

IPU and FSM are pretty run-of-the-mill now. I only needed two mana elixirs for this one.

hmm I was gonna wait till I got around to picking up enough ability points to get the darkness rating abilities, but if they did get nerfed maybe I'll try it tonight.

Edit
Ya that didn't go so well wasted a soul stone and 4 mana elixirs before I gave up (didn't see the sense in wasting the other 6 mana elixirs I brought), he still had 25% of his health left and I was at about 500 turns. SO obviously Hito hits much harder then me, and it looks like he probably has more dark mitigation, mine is a little below 70%, plus my measly 5 dark rating.

You mean he only lost 25% by then? That would make more sense. And yeah I have 75% mitigation plus 27% rating (though I really doubt I had ~88.5% mitigation since I was still being crit for 500-600. I smell more multiplicative calculation BS.) Then if you factor in my attack rating and proficiencies... maybe saying they are run-of-the-mill is a little misleading. At the very least, their defense is less than half as strong as the first time I defeated them.

Ya I meant I had only chipped away 25% of his hp by then. I'll probably try again in another 10 ability points.

Ugh. I feel horribly cheated after about a week of preparation for what I thought would be a strong EoD run. Soul Stones, Dark and Cold ratings maxed, extra dark mitigation, etc, etc.

[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/h...84/EoDSetup.png
Yes, they were expensive.

[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/EoD1.png
Looks promising so far.

[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/EoD2.png
... far less damage than I think it should be. That's 5x damage with PA from what I normally do? NO. Maybe 1.5x

[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/EoD3.png
For having used 8 Soul Stones, it sure isn't doing a whole lot of extra damage from what I do with zero Soul Stones.

[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/EoD4.png
A good no PA / with PA look. I could really use some screens of the damage I do without soul stones.

and then I ran out of Elixris on about round 96/150 (Note: only about 5 rounds farther than I get with just godly mana draughts.)

60 7 You have been defeated.
60 6 The effect Bleeding Wound on Ryouko Asakura has expired.
60 5 Bleeding Wound hits Ryouko Asakura for 736 damage.
60 4 Impaler hits you for 7683 cold damage.
60 3 Ryouko Asakura uses Impaler
60 2 Ryouko Asakura resists your spell.
60 1 You cast Weaken.


I smell some BS going on here. Making Weaken + Silence unavailable makes EoD a completely broken and impossible challenge since there's no way to defend against such a large variety of powerful attacks for that long, and increasing my own damage will obviously not work since the Stones did jack. I also think there should be more item slots available for such a challenge since the challenge at level 150 (Sealed Power; 50 rounds, 2 bosses) is worlds apart from from End of Days (150 rounds, ?? legendaries [min 75]), yet there are only 13 slots available for both.

Are you slightly gimping what your normal dmg is cause your wearing some resist gear?? That might explain the somewhat "weak" attacks. And I'm just curious why you don't silence instead of weaken, I've only fought them in ring of blood, but they seemed easier with silence....although their spirit attacks can 1-shot me so its kind of the only way I can beat them...

1) No, I'm not using any resist gear.

2) I tired the Silence approach for about 20 turns and said "fuck that" after I got crit for 1000+ attacks twice in a row. I think you know what kind of armors I already have, so using Silence instead of Weaken is completely out of the question with the multiplicative mitigation calculation BS.

I don't expect anyone cares, but I just cleared Killzone. I nearly forgot there was a new challenge available... Not knowing what to expect (the Wiki was completely wrong about the previous challenge) I took Godly Mana Draughts, and some Elixirs just in case. Used 4 Godlies. That's actually one less item than I needed when I did Power Flux the first time. Mind you, I'm wearing three new pieces of armour, which might have helped a bit.

Well, I'm off to correct the Wiki again.

I just did 186 rounds in Item World on Normal (one more round than last time). OMG it's insanity, I tell you.

First time beating endgame on heroic since the changes. Wasn't worth it.

... and the best thing I got out of it was "Scroll of Warding", which I nearly never use. :/ Well, I did get 400 credits so, I can buy back some of the Pots I wasted. Methinks I'll stick with Item World on Normal as it pays off better.

Speaking of which, of sorts, the first two times I did Arena #1 on Hell, I got "Lesser Health Potion" and "Lesser Health Draught". WTFU with that? Hell, the last three days worth of Arenas have been suctacular in drops/clear bonuses.

I just did it on Battletoads and got... you guessed it, a Lesser Health Potion.

First time win of Apocalypse Soon on normal
