Here are my stats as a fire wizard. I know my proficiency is pretty bad but I'm hoping to play a lot more this year.

I think you're the strongest fire wizzard out there

Thank you. I still hope to get to 600 proficiency and I still need DD9.

My new stats with some fiddling and some extras for reaching 250 Prof.



My old stats are on the top of this same page.

I was able to maximize the exp points, less tna 3M are left unused and i findthe gain and loss worth it... but if anyone have a better idea of how placing some points just fire it, i'll take it in consideration (i also use my second persona, a complete cone of that one, for testing so i have absolutely no problem).

...

I also have a big curiosity: there is a way to have 0 unused exp?

If you're playing imperil, you're actually very close to hitting 0.79 prof factor (which is all that's required to reduce enemy mitigations to 0). You'll reach that at 895.

But I'm guessing, since you're using radiants & a redwood staff, you're playing non-imperil - you want 1.0 for that, which isn't something you can reach with shoes alone.

For that, you must use robe or pants (pants is optimal, but either way, you need VERY high base prof - 580-590~) or play 3+2 (gloves + shoes). It's going to perform worse than imperil either way, as a non-holy style.

Nice that's good to know thank you. Usually I just Imperil the schoolgirls. I do have Peerless gloves as well. Hopefully I'll get 590 proficiency by years end.

Ah, for schoolgirl arenas only, the way you're playing is basically optimal (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Redwood + radiants, imperil on the schoolgirls, and shoes only for 0.79... that is as fast as a non-holy style can get.

Also... I wouldn't expect to hit 590 by that time without doing significant amounts of grindfests. The exp curve is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally rough (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'll get there eventually. I usually just play around an hour each day doing arenas and doing as many REs as I can throughout the day. Playing Imperil with .8 means Imperiling the schoolgirls and the monsters in grindfest right? I don't really see a benefit using Imperil on the monsters in the arenas.

In schoolgirls arenas - you're quite right, it's not worth using imperil on regular monsters because they die to area damage while you're focusing down the schoolgirls.

On other arenas, it's worth it, but your setup is oriented towards non-imperil anyway so it's not really a significant time loss for you. You would get some small benefit from a stronger prof slot (outside of schoolgirls) but we're only talking about arenas with 100 rounds or lower, once a day, so it's not really worth the investment of switching for a minor timesave...

Another piece of armor got in place, even with J4 i'm ok, previously i forgot to fix IW and the old equip was stuck to d5w5.

Those are my actual stats:



For now i'm pretty satisfied.

I forgot to post this when I reached level 500. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Someday, when I can afford it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) , I add a Warding Set, and also some DW set. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Why do you have so much attack speed bonus? (I am not saying it is bad, I am just asking where did it come from).

If it came from high agility, do you feel you need it to help your defense at level 500? Or maybe sda shield?

I will post my attack speed bonus glitch analysis research when I feel up to the challenge. I figured out all my perceived mysteries of haste and attack speed bonus stacking, which delayed me a week. It was worth it because it created a consistent theory of action speed, to me. (Testing casting speed will be up to someone else, but I feel confident it could fit the same framework).

Lestion doesn't like that my experimentally tested cast time for all spells do not exactly match the wiki or in-game ability descriptions. I don't like it either but don't encounter any problems, maybe later I will figure out why there are differences.

If attack speed bonus is good (I am not sure yet) then sda shields might be better than sde.

Rapier and shield agility with maximum upgrade. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

But mainly because of my distribution of PABs, which is as simple and stupid as possible (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) :

(IMG:[imgur.com] https://imgur.com/6Frqi0f.jpg)

It has always been that way since I started playing in 2012. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I never wanted to change that (out of laziness, it has nothing to do with defensive issues). But I will probably create another persona next month, just to see if a more appropriate distribution makes such a difference or not. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

By all means, please, do it. It will be extremely interesting (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Basara, Maharid...dat agility.
Kill it.
All of it.

In any case...



Still far from 520 proficiency for the 14k. Haven't been playing outside of REs.
Barely got 3 attack points since I stopped doing arenas.

Tweaked a little my stats to optimize my Agility (aka lower it) and lose more Evade without dropping PMi.

I could further do this by forging my rapier to the point it has 70 Agility, remove 14 points from my Agi, then also remove around 100 Int, so I can put a 468th point in Wisdom.
Not really worth the hassle since it won't increase my Resist Chance, nor my MMi, by 0.1%
I may do it in the future...if selling Cheetah bindings wasn't way more profitable (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Problem?

Even Juggernaut Santa has a fair bit of Agility though, I'm surprised there are not more 1H players around with Agility 0 in order to have minimal evade (I recently realized evade is not that hurtful but still it's an idea).

I just realized I may have made a big oversight in my recent action speed, haste, and swift strike analyses. I had been ignoring Stun duration adjustments because I thought those were synced to monster turns, not the player. But now I think they are synced to the player, so I have to study all the Stun timings with action speed (although I think I know what they will be, just need to confirm the basics).

I don't know if attack speed and swift strike will be better or worse after I readjust. Probably worse, but also more stable in terms of the range of performances that could arise from timing glitches. Good thing I never attempted my attack speed analysis yet anyway. (I wrote about the mechanics, but not the results of them yet).

100% tortoise style.
Now I'm trying to change to mage style.
Can't stand 1.5 hours of arena any more.

I'm surprised there are not more 1H players around with Agility 0

You are surprised that 1H player usually are no idiots and aware that one point in AGI gives them +0.5 to Physical Mitigation formula?

Why am i not surprised? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
