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

Is Burning Soul affected by the DD hath perk?

Because I've bought DD1 yesterday and I didn't notice any damage change... Is the hath perk active or should I wait more? Is there a way to be sure that the perk is active?

Thanks

As far as I'm aware (and I may get corrected) dd levels apply to all damage, after all other bonuses are taken into account

Edit:
Noticed your last question. It seemed to activate immediately for me, but it'll probably definitely be activated within 24 hours if it doesn't. Just assume it's activated and don't worry about it

Is the damage from Burning Soul by itself alone even big enough to matter? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I have my doubts about that, i mean played in a correct way, for a holy mage every round should be finished in just a few turns buy spell damage.

It's not often but sometimes the few ticks of it are enough to lower a monster enough that you kill them a turn faster than you would have done normally. (Think about times when you lower a monster to 1-2% HP; you would still need to spend an entire turn killing them with a T1 spell.)

Are low level equipments worth trying to sell to players?

Starting to have a little stock of these as I level up.
Are Superiors or Exquisites with level less than 200 in demand at all?
Is it worth the time to post them in WTS?
If not, what's best use of them? Bazaar or Salvage? Or other?

Use HVUtils to help you decide which is better. Note that HVUtils default values set value for scraps and low-grades which are difficult to sell, and may actually be worth 0 because of that (you can adjust these settings). Usually it's bazaar if you're unsure - salvage magnificent+ cloth/shields/staffs, if you know their prefix/suffix combo is undesirable.

To other players, anything that isn't magnificent isn't going to be easy to sell (or possible at all, 99% of the time), at ANY level range.

Legendaries should be held onto and you can check with the price check thread to help learn. Magnificents... try to get a good grasp for prefix/suffix combos by using the auction guidelines from Superlatanium and Decondelite (especially Decon has a significant write-up aimed at new players).

When it is actually good equipment, yeah, imo worth a try. But only good equipment, even low level player drop enough bazaar fodder themself.

No, i would assume people are able to drop superior and exquisite equipment they need themself.

No, i mean there is still the freeshop, so i would actually guess that any demand that could possible exist for equipment like this will be satisfied by it. So i would say, if you dont have use for them yourself, i would say get credits from the bazaar for them.

I would like to do a sanity check of how I'm playing the game so far
Here's what I'm doing, sharing in case I'm doing something really stupid and someone can point it out for me.

My chosen playstyle is 2H + Heavy armor ... just cause I like it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'm using an Exquisite Ethereal Mace of Slaughter, that is 50ish levels lower than me but still seems to perform better than other weapons I've dropped after it (maybe because of the Void type?). I love the stun proc for extra reduction of incoming damage. I'm thinking of Soulfusing it very soon.

My armor is a mishmash of whatever plate I can find that has good mitigation. Power Armor seems too rare to reliably attain at my play level.

I do random encounters at Hell level as that's where I can reliably defeat them without stress.
I also run all arenas and have come up with a system of what challenge level I can clear each at without stress (most are at Hell, lower ones I do at IWTBH).

I start my fights with buffing Protection (that stacks with my armor right?), Regen, Shadow Veil, Haste and Heartseeker. I'm assuming all those things stack and it's useful to have them all.

I use draughts as needed to maintain my bars and Cure in a pinch.

Anything particularly outlandish? At what point is it worth it to look into Item World?

Yeah, i am quite sure that is just because of the stunning. That is imo the problem of playing 2H Heavy, you have to tank nearly all monster attacks, because low parry, low evade and no block.

I'm thinking of Soulfusing it very soon.

Hm, tbh i am not sure if it is actually a good idea to fuse an exq weapon.

My armor is a mishmash of whatever plate I can find that has good mitigation. Power Armor seems too rare to reliably attain at my play level.

Not just that, but power armor also has lower mitigations overall, so in your case switching to power armor could make you more vulnerable.

There is no playstyle that doesnt use protection, so that is fine.

Regen, Shadow Veil, Haste and Heartseeker. I'm assuming all those things stack and it's useful to have them all.

Not sure what you mean by stack here, but yes doing them with your playstyle is fine.

Anything particularly outlandish?

No, i dont see any major problems, 2H heavy may not the best playstyle for you, but as long you have fun playing it, i wouldnt suggest to change that.

At what point is it worth it to look into Item World?

I would say IW comes after soulfusing. You shouldnt waste the time and effort of IW something you will replace quite soon. And when you start with it, i would suggest to start with the weapon, no matter what you get out of it with the additional strike -in case of your ethereal that would be a random elemental strike- would allready increase your damage output by quite a bit.

Not sure what you mean by stack here, but yes doing them with your playstyle is fine.

I meant that in some gaming systems, bonus of similar types do not stack and so it's not useful to use them all.
Thank you for clarifying it.

Thank you very much for your answers, it's very reassuring. Absolutely aware that 2H heavy is not an optimal playstyle but I do enjoy the concept of it so I'm having fun and it's not prevented me from progressing in the game so far.

Thank you very much for your answers,

You are welcome. Btw i have thought about it, one shielding plate maybe wouldnt be a bad idea for your set. The bit of block it would give should increase your survivability, maybe even enough to play more arenas on IWTBH, but i dont promise that it would, more like that it could. So maybe you want to give it a thought or two. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Interesting! If I see one around I'll sure try it out.

So, when we're saying Heavy is not the best armor for 2H (to me playing as 2H is non-negotiable, Domino strikes makes clearing time so short I couldn't live without it), by how much am I nerfing myself?
My understanding is that if I switched to leather I would have less physical mitigation, but I would be able to dodge some attacks. In my mind that should balance out to some extent, is that not the case? Also, wouldn't trading mitigation for evade mean that damage comes more in "spikes" and I would risk being oneshot more often?
(my understanding: my plate armor shaves of 57% of the damage of all hits, vs evade would be remove 0% or 100%)

Are there any niten player around that could give me some tips on building my gear. I want to keep playing melee but not 1h. What is the consensus on survivability of niten builds for pffest. Is Agile recommended or is leather survivability good enough that you can get away with savage?

Any other gear tips would be appreciated. I currently have an average ethereal katana i think 50-60% ADB and a pretty good ethereal waki of balance both Katana B5/OP4 waki OP5/F4.

At later levels you will find it very, very difficult to survive on higher difficulties, even in easy content like arenas. 2H especially suffers because it can't get any kind of mitigation from weapon choice, unlike every other type of melee (2H parry does not offset this even at high level).

You will not worry about being one-shot once you have access to spirit shield (and spark of life).

For arenas, REs, RoBs: use a balance wakizashi offhand. For fests (and IW, especially if the rest of your gear isn't great + well forged) use nimble instead.

Survival in pfest is... not great. It's better than 2H! That's not really a high bar. Expect to heal a LOT and it may not even be possible without practice. For greater survival at the cost of some more speed, niten players can switch to dovahkin and use fus-ro-dah for permanent stuns, if they can manage their overcharge well - if this is difficult, a swiftness wakizashi can make the stun last longer, to give more time to manage it.

I don't think you need to switch to agile. It doesn't actually add that much survival when you already have a considerable amount of speed from agility & haste combined. Savage is preferable.

At my level and without Follower of Snowflake perk, is it worth rolling Shrine Fortune or is it recommended to sell it for credits? Looks like at the moment it's going for 130k-135k.

Sell them. The chance of getting anything good is abysmal (think ~1% at best on cloth, with very lenient specifications for what constitutes good).

How to prioritize targets?

I have Monsterbation set up (which is amazing btw) and it's displaying a lot of detailled information about each monster. What do I do with that? How do I decide which monsters are the most dangerous to me out of the current group?

I'm a 2H melee if that's relevant.

You don't really need to think about it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

If you really want to min-max that badly, watch for monsters that have high spirit gauges and try to kill them before they can fill it, or silence them. But generally thinking about that is just going to slow you down considerably.
