after enabling equipment i've reached 93 grindfest on cake(86 before first balance changes and 7 lvls more after)
it could be really endless with 100% chance of offhand attack and bleeding

And I've never gotten past 17 or so >_> Hopefully my DW proficiency will go up relatively fast cause I like being able to basically one shot things cause of the off-hand proc, but it's somewhat rare because my DW prof isn't even half my level.

Great.

its just because of two things:
1)almost any creep died from one hit(exep minibosses, they died from 2 hits)
2)some time earlier i've spend some C to buy cheepest(below 500c) light armor, so only hits from near-my-lvl creeps & magical hits damaged me, but cure and 2nd wind restored damage much faster

anyway now my secret tactic "slash&cure" helps me to pass 20th lvl of cake grind with ease

1. Your proficiencies have a chance to keep up with your level because they didn't get implemented when you were lvl 79
2. mobs hit you for what? 20 damage ? 30 ? Mine hit 100+ on cake. each. thats with shield up. and heavy armor.

So yes it would be very nice if everyone level 70 + got +10 in all proficiencies just to be able to keep up.

As of now, having a setup of melee equipment, would it be wise to reset my abilities and just get rid of all the elemental skills and put them all in health tank, magic tank and the rest?

I am wearing nearly an entire suit of plate armor (only missing shoes) and have a sword that procs Bleed. I don't even need to cast Shield and most attacks get either blocked, dodged, or do 0 damage. Second Winds and the rare Cure top me off.

Also almost 2 hours in, 195 rounds, I just earned an entire level in Cakefest.

Yeah, but in only lasts two or three turns right now and it has a low proc chance. Depends on the weapon and how Snowflake generated its stats.

Fun Fact: You can trigger your New Dawn event while in Grindfest.

Just cleared Round 264. Why won't it end? Why?

No more...that's it, I can't do any more. After 3 hours and 350 rounds of Cakefest, I'm done. I can't go on any more. I could probably keep going, but I'm tired. I have other things I need to do. I just went in there to do a couple of rounds to check some things out. My arm kinda hurts....

Cmal, it's easy

You're level 42. monsters piss on you in terms of attacks.
Try that again when you hit 75+ (you know, when they actually have claws and teeth and sharp objects that can hurt you.
