[X] My Assistant

im a new player

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.

What? Cant be. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Most users here are male and only touch females. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I used to have exceed AP so that I used for some divine magic, considering soul fire could help more melee damage. But now I find that I am lack of AP for heavy armor abilities and other supportive/deprecating magic. Just want to know if divine magic is good for 1H melee or not. (Considering high interference cause high failure rate and lack of mana, I am about to give up divine magic)

As a melee player, you do not cast damaging spells. Elemental, divine and forbidden magics are essentially useless to you (with the slight exception of divine or forbidden imperil improvements, if you have one of those strikes on your weapon).

Imperil, a deprecating spell, is useful - but at your level, you do not have access to all the improvement abilities that make it worth using.

Besides that, it's only really supportive spells that are used by melee players.

Hey, can someone tell me what is the script that some have installed that allows them to simulate a battle to practice?

Do amnesia shards dropped only in item world? I ran a IW 10 and got 5 shards, then stopped and just do daily arena for a week, couldn't find anymore shards.

Should I do item world or grindfest more often? Needs credits for training though.

They drop in all modes of play, but they are very rare. I think I get 1 every second grindfest, on average, with full drop training.

Grindfest is worth doing if you have the stamina and time, but it's hard to break even with the energy drink cost if you don't have drop training at least - especially archaeologist. But when you do, and you have Crystarium perks, it becomes very profitable.

Until you have those trainings and perks, generally just do as many random encounters as possible, and daily arenas.

You merely got very lucky during your IW session, that's all

Hey, how could a lv175 monster make about 5k void damage? I get seckilled in RE! With the buff of protection.
You have been defeated.
Nyami-sama casts Kawaialipsis, and hits you for 5111 void damage
I have 61.5% phy mit and 49.6 mag mit. It is unreasonable to meet such a monster that could deal that MUCH damage

Don't panic! We are here to help ( not in any intimidating manner). At first, the game is easy. Then the monsters get a red bar and they hit like a firetruck. They kick ass like BA Barracus. Best thing you can do now is get better defense. Parry helps, evade helps, block helps a lot. That's why many players switched to 1h rapier and shield around your level ( or a bit higher maybe).

Good luck!

I mean I do play 1H style but failed to parry/block this damage. It is my 1st time see that huge amount of damage. I thought I was safe. I am feeling bad getting seckilled.

Well, I had an Exquisite Rapier of the Nimble which could offer a lot parry chance. But I cannot give up my Legendary Arctic Club of Balance which has 98% ADB.

When you level up, you will have Spirit Shield (which limits incoming damage to 20% of your health at most, and then the rest is converted into a small amount of spirit damage) and Spark of Life (which stops you dying once, at the cost of a large amount of spirit, and then it must be recast).

Additionally, you can watch for when monsters have high MP/SP and cast silence on them, which will stop their most dangerous attacks, but this kind of micromanagement is probably going to be tedious and slow you down massively.

If you are finding that this sort of thing is starting to happen regularly, then the best option is to lower the difficulty until your gear catches up or until you have access to those spells. It will get easier! Hang in there, you're still in the rough levels.

Well, I have Spark of life but only cast it when I am about to die (HP<1500)

When you have so few HP you should cast cure and not SoL. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Also if you want to use SoL, you should keep it active all the time in battle and not when it is nearly too late. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

"When monster beat you near death on a regular basis", i would suggest to reduce the difficulty because

Quoting Uncle stu, unfortunately it is time for you to lower the difficulty, take me as an example, I am in difficulty Nintendo right now, but more than anything because of the speed that I have defeating monsters at that level, I am already very little to get on IWBTH difficulty, and kill monsters fast and spend nothing more than pure Health drought and Mana drought, making the last 3 challenges of the arena daily.
