[X] My Assistant

I'm not sure how long I can play hentaiverse. I have two H@H servers and they bring me 130hath per day, not much, so I'd see if I could add a third one. But to earn 300-500M credits is a long way to go. My goal is to clear arena faster (1H is very safe but terribly slow), mage is there but it's so hard to make the first decision.

Then go for Wind or Elec, you won't regret it. You will play imperil style, but with the right set-up in monsterbation that will be very fast and easy. First step is to find yourself a good staff, unless you already have some other great phases in either elec or wind, then it's best to find a good staff to match those.

For reference of cost, this staff from last weeks auction would make a good starting staff:
[Sta01] Legendary Tempestuous Willow Staff of Destruction (Lv.500, MDB 58%, EDB 55%) (seller: morineko) rokyroky 10.8m #49

You would need to level up 40 levels before you can soulfuse this one, though.

Then go for Wind or Elec, you won't regret it.

Thanks for the advice! One more question though, would a wind/elec mage build be able to beat DwD at PFUDOR difficulty, after I reach level 400?

All mage styles, even played with the cheapest gear (adequately forged) are significantly faster than melee in all types of battle (they just struggle to survive pfudor grindfest/IW at higher rounds). Check out the DWD thread, and the mage guide thread, where some players have done some investigation on how cheaply you can do it.

Adding to the above: this isn't gatekeeping, it really is really, really expensive. Do you have about 300, maybe 500mil lying around? You could spend all that and still have significant room to improve.

It's really not, you can easily double your arena time without spending even 50m, but it's true, holy gear is the hardest to get.

All mages are quite good with arenas, but if your goal is beating SGs (last 3 arenas) too than choose either dark or holy because SGs have no resistance to this type of magic.

But beware - mages are quite prof dependent, so grinding new one will take all the time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Thanks for all those replies! I think I'll play as elec mage. First upgrade to lvl400 and save some money for it at the same time, then save A LOT MORE money for holy mage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .

So, erm, which one is the better weapon to use for 1h/heavy?

https://hentaiverse.org/equip/192215524/9ae1dd54ba
https://hentaiverse.org/equip/191820184/19871afbd7

I mean weapon type wise, it's Rapier > Shortsword > Axe
But Prefix/Suffix wise, it'd (probably) be Tempestuous Slaughter > Ethereal Balance > Demonic Vampire.

May I have some input regarding this?

go with the balance, or buy a good slaughter that is not an axe.

Will do (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Is there any reason why Axes are not as preferable compare to Shortswords? I mean the proc is inferior compare to everything else, but shortswords have bleed as well. What other factor is in play here?

Because of the lack of parry. Axes have their uses in the really, really, high damage deparment. And a really good axe together with a good slaugher armor set outperform even a rapier in non SG Arenas. But at your level you want something with parry.

Ah, didn't realize that. Thanks for the answer!

What is the ideal IW for a 2h mace? 5 Butcher seems obvious, but is overpower good at all, what with how much stun you put out? Or would Fat or even Swift be the superior secondary?

I'm not the 2h expert, but normally everything except 1h benefits from overpower.

Actually, even 1H does benefit from Overpower...
I certainly prefer having higher chances to actually land my blows than having an overly ridiculously low buff to my damage output.

OP5 for sure. beyond that, it depends on your priorities. if you want the most mindless playstyle with the absolute minimum of cures or your armour set isn't very defensive, go for swift strike. if you have good defence and clear times are more important, go for butcher and/or fatality. which of those two is better depends on your gear, but there seems to be very little difference, so just go with what you can get or what sounds cooler

your armour set isn't very defensive, go for swift strike.

So in general when you play 2H with Power ignore swift strike, if you play it with shade go for it? That i at least is what i would assume.

i would say the deciding factor is overall quality of your armour and how much you forge it. with both shade and power you can reach a point where swift strike doesn't add much of value

Yeah, but i would assume not only do you reach that point much faster with a power armor, you also dont benefit that much overall from it while wearing power armor and i would suggest to go for butcher instead.

power armour does get less out of swift strike, but i would say that shade gets to a strong defensive state faster due to its high evade and resist and because its defence doesn't depend as much on proficiency

Guess I'll aim for OP 5...and any combination of Fat/But.

Beat DwD on PFUDOR, but....
It took forever (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
Does it get faster if I do 2h instead of 1h/shield? Or Melee is just slow like that for DwD?
