[X] My Assistant

Is it an issue with my fighting style, or does it just get so much more difficult on higher levels?

Could be a mix of both.

How does the difficulty scale as one levels up?
I was able to relatively easily fight random encounters on IWBTH difficulty until recently, but now I often die in first few rounds. Is it an issue with my fighting style, or does it just get so much more difficult on higher levels?

it's not linear.
1-100 doesn't feel like anything ( lol tutorial levels )
100-200 things start getting harder ( makes you wonder )
200-300 is the hardest hurdle ( go start build some defense )
300-400 things start getting stable ( building some offense is welcome too you know )
400+ stuff get easier again. ( welcome to the real grind, non-late round IW/GF monsters are too easy it's boring though )

400+ stuff get easier again.

And much slower if you dont invest quite something to increase your damage output. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Lestion, how much would your service cost me to get the 10 ITW levels of a legendary weapon?

Would you care much about what the outcome of the IW would be?

To add to what Fudo said, basically things keep getting harder until you finally start facing the strongest monsters (somewhere between Lvl250-300 IIRC), at which point it stops getting harder. But then the monsters are starting to get tankier and tankier (at least their growth in that aspect is superior to the player's damage output's), which doesn't add to the difficulty, but tends to make you slower and slower as you level up, even though your survivability is getting (slowly) back to the better. So starting Lvl350-400 or so you're starting to look for ways to also increase your damage output.
And then between Lvl400-500, things are getting slower or faster depending on how well you're geared and how well you play: this is where having high-end forged equipment becomes crucial. This is basically the point where one is trying to optimize the pace at which he annihilates monsters to get more credits and equipment, and faster.

No, not really, the only thing I would like to get is at least one Overpower level 3, otherwise I hardly worry since it would be a plus, and since the weapon is a fire element, I would simply acquire the power of Void attack.

So I don't think any shard amnesia should be spent.

Well in that case you can sent it to me.

ok, how many credits should i pay you?

Unfortunately I cannot immediately send you the weapon because I am performing the challenge of the dance whit dragons in the arena, and I am still only in battle 50.

Credits? I was thinking more of one to two days of patience. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) OK, I send it to you when I finish the challenges I am doing, and my Club reaches ITW level 10.

and my Club reaches ITW level 10.

Now i am confused, i thought i should do the IW. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) That is another weapon that I am improving, and it only needs 10 fights to reach ITW level 10, it is of exquisite degree, so I do not have many problems improving it myself.

One other question: do 1H players need to cast Haste/Shadow Veil? As lestion mentioned:

high attack speed and high evade means fewer parries and blocks, so fewer counter-attacks.

, in order to expect more parry/block, we shall reduce attack speed and evade chance

One other question: do 1H players need to cast Haste/Shadow Veil?

If they help you survive what otherwhise would kill you, use them. If not dont use them.

And I think heartseeker helps more damage but it cost so many mana for a 1H player that without channeling I could not cast any other buff. Do I need to keep it all the way or just wait for channeling?

Channelling will only appear if you cast other spells, or if you use a mystic gem. But you can use mana potions and mana draughts to keep your mana up too. You don't need to use it at all, but it will make your clear times faster.

thanks

Yes, you are. Does this answer your question? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Hey Uncle Stu, what a good touch you have with new users...

I remember that when I came here, I felt very intimidated by decondelite, Djnomi and Fudo Masamune, but when I read one of your comments I felt more confident, thanks that you expressed yourself in a more common way.

Anyway ... I send you the weapon once I finish using it, while we're at it, could you tell me what spells I should not use when I'm playing in one-handed fighting style, with Heavy Armor?

I would like to attack even more, to get ahead faster and finish improving my Club as soon as possible.

If necessary I can show you what shield I am using, and what equipment I have equipped.
