But frankly, such a thing is very unlikely to happen, unless you compare something like a Legendary Kite with a Mag Force.

Well, I am comparing exquisite kite with superior force.

My advice: do keep the very best Kites that have top-notch block chance, even more if they have SDE PABs and/or a Reinforced prefix. Those ones do have a chance to sell.

Indeed, I am usding Exquisite Reinforced Kite Shield of Stoneskin, does it worth something?

Btw, is there any script that could calculate overall income/output of a set of battles? Like overall credits gained and overall recoveries used etc..

Monsterbation script, and then just copy all the summaries at the end into a spreadsheet.

Could you please just edit your previous post instead of posting 2 questions right after each other? Thx

Yes it's worth "something". Not much, and certainly not as much as an Exq Force Shield, but still more than bazaar value. I won't say how much exactly though, even if I do have a very accurate amount in mind.

Djnoni, I have enough hats to be able to buy the first level of Innate Arcana, but before doing so, could you explain in more detail what it is for?

so, could you explain in more detail what it is for?

In the end it is nothing but a slot in your settings. You choose one of the possible supportive spells (Regen, Heartseeker and Arcane Focus are not possible) and that spell with be allways active during battle unless your mana falls below a certain mana value and wont be recast until you reach a certain higher mana value and you pay with this with a certain amount of mana every turn as upkeep which is less as you would have to use if you would cast the spell manually and gets cheaper the higher your supportive prof is. More IA means more slots and cheaper upkeep. Slots not used with a spell cost of course no upkeep.

Hey Uncle stu, can I send you the rapier now? I rreally need that armor whit the 10 levels of ITW. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

You know that this topic isnt for communication between player, right? I mean there are MM or PM to talk with each other. Also, i allready said everything i have to say about your rapier. So why should i do something i really hate and repeat myself about a matter i allready said everything there is to say? I mean it would be fine, if it was a question and the answer didnt fullfil your thirst for knowledge or wasnt clear enough. But from your post it was to me clear as clear, that you were fully able to understand what i did say. So i really have to ask, what is the point of your repeated question when you allready got your answer several days ago? I just dont have any words for this behavior.

Should i go for blunt damage (Stun procs) or piercing (Armor penetration)?
How significant is having a Void weapon over lvl 200?

It depends on your build:

- 1H Heavy: your shield procs stun when you block/parry, so getting stun is a bit redundant. You might want to go with the PA option, as it will also help you with damage.
- 2H: not too knowledgeable on this, but iirc, Maces were a thing for 2 handed builds because of stun.
- DW: wasn't Club a thing too for these builds?

Just came to me, but how do exactly Vampire/Illithid/Banshee weapons work?

- Do they proc on counter?
- It's the Siphon Health/Mana/Spirit effect the same as Vital Theft and such that come from Drain?
- What's the duration of the proc?
- It's a fixed amount per turn and per target, isn't it?

Just thought of it as I saw the weapon on the lottery (Peerless Ethereal Shortsword of the Vampire) and the 13k tickets it had. I guess peerless collectors?

Every weapon that is worth the IW, will in the end be a weapon with void damage. Because all non ethereal weapon will get hollowforged as 10th potency and all ethereal weapon are void from the beginning but will get a random elemental strike at the end. And no, an ethereal weapon doesnt has more damage just because it is ethereal, with fully IW both will have a void strike and one elemental strike, given that that the non ehteral weapon had an element in the beginning.

- 2H: not too knowledgeable on this, but iirc, Maces were a thing for 2 handed builds because of stun.

I would recommend it, because most build i have seen with mace are just build around that stun and quite weak imo. Because 2H is actually the least defensive build of all melee builds, no shield and low parry compared to to 1H or DW. So high forged equipment is imo highly recommended and when you did that and can survive, you want high damage from a weapon and that is something a mace just dont really provides. I mean it has around the same ranges for damage as an estoc or a katana but without the chance for penetrated armor or bleeding wound and therefore has the lowest damage of all 2H weapons.

- DW: wasn't Club a thing too for these builds?

It is. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) I'm so sorry Uncle stu, I haven't slept well all week because of the high temperatures in the area where I live, I feel like my head bursts, and I suddenly fell asleep.

Sorry but I wanted to question you again, because... DADDY GOOD LUCK! I just got another legendary weapon defeating again a monster in the third arena challenge on PFUDOR difficulty, and I'm also going to need to improve it to ITW level 10.

Once again please excuse me Uncle stu, but I'm really in poor health lately. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Oh, husch now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Dont react like as if i did show you where the frog has the curls. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) All i did was pointed out my confusion about the whole affair.

And that when you want discus something, that has nothing to do with questions about the game, that this topic is the wrong place. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Sorry for that. I will pay more attention

Hello Experts,

Do you have some suggestions on how to play as DW on my level?
Such as which weapon and armor should I choose?

Currently I only have average heavy armors and average club&axe..

And about the abilities, which kind of abilities should I learn now and in the future?

Thank you.

Hello Experts,

Hello. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I have.

Currently I only have average heavy armors and average club&axe..

Dont use heavy armor. Use light. And stop using the axe, i suggest keep the club, use it as main hand and use anything but a second club and an axe as off hand.

And about the abilities, which kind of abilities should I learn now and in the future?

Well the usual. All DW abilities, all light armor abilities, all general abilities, Better Haste, Better Shadow Veil,
Stronger Spirit, Better Heartseeker, Better Regen, Better Cure, Better Protection, one of the Spike Shields, better and faster imperil and maybe dark/holy imperil if you use any weapon with dark or holy element.

Thank you.

You are welcome. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

These 2 weapons are going to be my new combination for the Dual-welding fighting style:

Legendary Shocking Axe of slaugther.

Legendary Fiery Rapier of the balance

Is it a good combination? Just remember that I have no more Legendary weapons available at the moment.

Something more about the prefixes and suffixes.
I guess my main weapon should be a slaughter, but should I use my second weapon with balance, nimble, swiftness or slaughter?

OK, I've been using the dual-welding style for quite some time, and I would recommend that you always have a weapon with the balance prefix in your main hand, short swords are very good in that regard. And in the other hand a weapon with the prefix slaughter, since it will serve you a lot, when activating and attacking with spirit.

I was fighting with these combinations for something like 70 levels, and no attack was usually failed.

DW has options.

For your main hand, you will ideally choose between a club of slaughter, or rapier of slaughter. Club has a little more damage, and the stun proc (which stops your target being able to parry/evade while afflicted), but it has no parry on it. Rapier does have parry, though.

Your offhand depends on your main hand and what sort of battles you're playing. I'll address suffixes after base types.

If you use a club main hand, you'll want to use a rapier off-hand for penetrated armor stacks (even with imperil, it works out slightly better than other weapons).

If you use a rapier main-hand, you can use a wakizashi off-hand to its fullest benefit.

In the absence of either a good rapier or a good wakizashi, a shortsword is also an acceptable substitute (since it has the most important stat on it - parry). Avoid clubs and axes in your offhand.

The suffix you desire on your offhand depends on how much you need to increase your survival. The ideal defensive suffix is nimble, while offensive is balance. The accuracy on balance can help you get your off-hand strike proc to 100%. The most (reasonable) defensive combo, rapier slaughter main hand and wakizashi nimble offhand, can reach absurd parry numbers.

OK, I've been using the dual-welding style for quite some time, and I would recommend that you always have a weapon with the balance prefix in your main hand, short swords are very good in that regard. And in the other hand a weapon with the prefix slaughter, since it will serve you a lot, when activating and attacking with spirit.

Ignore this advice. Balance weapons are a valid option in your main hand when you are low level and your choices are limited. They are not your ideal setup.
