[X] My Assistant

Hello there. First time poster, long time listener.

I got back into the HaychVerse recently and I think I'm doing alright? I'm on Hard, slowly grinding my way when my schedule allows in Arenas and Item Worlds.

I'm using a 2Handed playstyle with Light armor and lots of Support magic.

I think I'm doing it right?

Thank you for reading.

Without knowing more details, that appears to be reasonable. I'd think you could handle something more difficult than hard at this point, but the game has changed so much since I was at that level that I couldn't be sure.

One thing to check is, if you are coming back after several years, you may be using old/obsolete equipment. If your equipment is from spring 2015 or earlier it is probably much weaker than equivalent newer equipment. If you're not sure, you can either post links to the equipment or just the equipment ids and people should be able to tell you if its obsolete or not.

Oh! OK, I'm sorry, I should've done that.

-My helmet
-My breastplate

I also use these pieces right now for Item World runs:

-Item World Estoc
-My Exotic Helmet
-My Exotic Breastplate

As far as stats go: Following the wiki's advice, my Strength and Endurance are the highest, with Dex and Agility close behind, Wisdom just below my level and Int at ~70% of my level.

I'm a little afraid...or a lot afraid...of upping the difficulty though. Dying hurts.

i can't reply in this topic before...

why mana used in percentage?
and total mana has any means?

Mana Points: Used to cast spells.

mana points are shown in a blue bar. There is a value next to the bar. It's not in percentage, but in absolute points.

Total mana means the total mana points you can spend on casting spells.

(I'm pretty sure you mean to ask why your mana costs increase with your level, effectively being a percentage of usage that stays roughly constant with your level. And thus you also want to know if your actual amount of mana has any meaning on its own).

I thought the exact same question a long time ago. I'm not sure of the answer. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

The best answer I can give is that support spells effectively drop in cost with your supportive proficiency, which tends to match your level. (They do this by lasting longer, technically). So your actual amount of mana sort of has a reason for existing for those.

It does seem though that the game could have been worked around this mechanic, and there may be a superfluous value here, as you supposed.

I buy Soul catcher. I tested it for a week and still haven’t received. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

How does the soul catcher work? Should I wait a month or more? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Soul Catcher Get ten free soul fragments per day. These are added automatically if you have opened HV at some point during the past 30 days.

What are the best weapon proficiencies on 1h rapier?

I see people posting legendary items with % attributes at the end like MDB %, int % and wis %. What exactly does that % mean? And how is it calculated?

Also what kind of equipment should I soul fuse? I am nearing the 100 soul fragments required to soul fuse an item.

you mean IW potencies, perhaps? Fatality + Butcher, I would say

It's used to show how 'good' a legendary equipment is. A Legendary will have stats that can vary from a minimum value to a maximum value. For every stat there is a different minimum (L_min) and maximum (L_max). You can find the ranges on the wiki. But that's a lot of work, to compare your equip to the L_min and L_max for every stat.
So some dudes made a script. If your equip has the best possible legendary stat for ADB, it's 100%. If it is the lowest possible legendary stat for ADB, it's 0%. Is it half-way - you guessed it, right? - is't 50%.

If you want to calculate: just use the percental ranges script. Or do the math by hand if you must.

What equipment has the highest PXP0? I'm looking to maximize item world rounds, since those seem efficient on an experience per round basis for grinding proficiency.

Peerless plain-prefixed shade of the arcanist, although if you can't get peerless, legendary will do.

Anything over pxp377 will result in 100 rounds, but peerless should have the highest exp modifier (we're still a little unclear on the exact mechanism for the IW exp mod, but Noni's research indicated the best performance from peerless arcanist, if I recall, and I've used it a little myself).

Iirc that would be shade of arcanist.

Hi. I'm already using a soulbound legendary demonic rapier of balance, is it worth/will I see a difference in my damage in arena battles if I soulbound an 100 lvl higher magnificent ethereal shortsword of slaughter? The rapier has 614 piercing damage at lvl 287, the shortsword has 1200 void damage at lvl 390, the wiki only mentions that ethereal is better for boss battles, I don't know if it is worth for daily arena battles

Soulbinding any equipment means, setting the equipment to your level. So the only thing you would archive by soulfusing a weapon 100 level above yours, is wasting fragments especially if you do it with a mag while you allready use a Leg. I mean yeah, a slaughter weapon would be better general, but at your level it shouldnt be too hard to find a Leg.

Ethereal is overrated. It is nothing special it just has void damage from the start. But every single weapon will get void damage by IW 10. Something you should do with every weapon that isnt a staff. So the only benefit a ethereal weapon does actually give you is the lack of burden and intereference.

Thank you, do you also know if the higher damage of the shortsword is worth losing rapier's 23% penetrated armor? I'm aware that I won't have 1200 damage at lvl 290 if I soulbound it but let's say it will be 900+, so is 300 extra damage worth losing 23% penetration? When I scan a monster I can't see its armor so I have no idea how to find out about it

Some think it is, personally i am not conviced. I would go for a rapier all the time. Did even sold a Peerl shortsword and keept using my Leg rapier.
