~0% attack speed bonus~

That is, if his defense is good enough. There's a balance point somehow.

Note that spec mits calculation got nerfed "coincidentally" got "fixed". It hurts heavy armor more than light.

That's not exactly what happened.

The issue was with the three heavy armor spec-mit abilities (heavy prvg, heavy slsh, heavy crush) not being calculated "properly". TenB fixed/nerfed it, but since light armor doesn't have equivalent abilities, it remained untouched.

In other words, light mitigations in 0.85 are the same as in 0.84. Only heavy got nerfed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

That irritates me even more. Thank you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Could you expand on this "FRD style" please? I'm not accustomed to the acronyms you use around here.

For the acronyms you can just check here.
FRD style is based around attack speed and FRD skill.
Stun the enemies, attack during stun to recharge OC, cast FRD again and so on.
It has been discussed in the past, check this posts and the other posts from cmos.
Works best with Estoc.

By other styles I assume you mean 1H, DW and Niten. I never tried 1H but DW seems a lot slower than 2H, especially when it comes to AoE damage. To me 2H seems that much more suitable for arenas where each round has several monsters and 90% Domino (and bleeding wounds procced from it) can really shine, plus now we can chain Rending Blow into Shatter strike without using Great Cleave first, which is also a big bonus to AoE damage, but this applies to all other melee styles as well.

They may be slower at doing damage, but they also take a lot less damage so in the end if you are forced to costantly cast depr spells and cures at higher difficulties 2H is not fast anymore.
(and mage is still a lot faster)

In conclusion, if I were to change my style to suit higher levels of difficulty, would going for Heavy/1H be the best choice, in light of the changes brought by 0.85? I'm not very happy with having to choose a "right" over a "wrong" playstyle, but I guess this is the kind of game we're playing.

At the moment the two OP styles are still:
- 1H
- Mage

1H because of the ridiculous survivability + great clearing speed when paired with OFC.
Mage because afaik while doing PFUDOR arenas a Mage is 2X faster than any other style.

waiting for advise on my current 1H heavy style.
what do you think i should do to play higher difficulty, which means iwbth or pf.
adjustment to my primary attributes? better gears? hath perks? or the way i play and spell used in battle?

what i can do :
hell arena without much effort, just using draughts is ok.
Nintendo arena needs to cure and potion, which is some kind of tough.
iwbth and pfudor is just for REs, i need to silence and weak all monsters and cure once or twice, sometimes even four.

what isn't show in pictures:
hath perks : IA II
Flame Spike Shield
spell used in battle: haste, protection, spark of life and spirte shield when SG comes or monsters more than 7(hell) or 5(nintendo), regen, heartseeker when channeling.
seldom use debuff unless SG(imperil) or before using OFC. OFC is mostly used in final round in arena.
gears: rapier IW10 forged 5, shield forged 20, both soulfused

You are at a level where playing IWBTH/PFUDOR is still a bit too hard. I'd like to tell you to look for a better shield, but it's hard to find better than what you already have at your level. The only reasonable thing you could do, would be to use a bit more of forged plate armor of protection to increase your defense. Yes it will lower your damage input a bit, but that's the only decent thing that can be done.

As for pabs, I see nothing wrong with them.

However your attack power is low for me. Maybe you should look for power-pieces? If information in your sig is actual, then you really should get more legendary of power.
You shield has astonishingly good block - 90%, why should you bother with shielding prefixes? Get rid off them and change to few power pieces. =)
