I'd also swap the main and the offhand first, because you want the weapon with the highest attack in your main hand. The weapon in the offhand will get an -20% attack but will also get a +50% parry bonus from which will improve survival a good amount, and iirc and wakizashis of the nimble have the highest parry in the game, making them a good option for a defensive DW setup.

As said before if you want to keep DW, get a club (any prefix is good, and for suffix go with slaughter/balance or even nimble) and keep the waki in the offhand (if you can get a prefixed rapier of balance/nimble it would be a better option than the waki).

Also check if some superior leather will give better stats than your exquisite leather due level difference, ideally, at this point, you might want to change gear every 30 levels.

Hi everyone,
I haven't been playing for over a year and now decided to give it a try one more time.
I have a problem with too many cures. I can clear Arenas @ PF, but IW and Grindfest are out of question.
Basically I have to cure every round and almost every turn.

I want to ask this question: is something wrong with my equips/stats or is it suppose to be that way?

First of all, the game has become much, much more difficult in the past year. Monster level average has gone up so much, and they are all much more chaosed. Your gear is good enough. Make changes in your play style, to make it more defensive. Up your END and AGI, lower INT WIS. Stuff like that.

Your gear is excellent. That's not the problem. You can use monsterbation to create a separate spell rotation for the last part of IW/PFFEST: keep out the t3, and start every round with t3 after imperil. That helps you survive.

Lastly, yes you need to cure a lot. That's the new normal. Stock up on mana potions, health potions etc. You can even change your heal rotation to health potion first, then cure, then full cure, then health elixir. I see you have a WTB for a radiant? I would advise against that if you have problems surviving already.

OK, I'll do that.

Let me understand this: the round starts, I cast Imperil then T3 and then rotation of t2 and t1?

Thanks for the help.
I need to ask: as you've seen my prof_factor is 0,654. I read that for elemental the best is 0.68 but is it game changer? I mean, after reaching this prof_factor the game will become easier or not that much?

I see you have a WTB for a radiant? I would advise against that if you have problems surviving already.

The radiant set would be for Arenas, as I already have one radiant piece and it speeds up Arenas a little.

Oh! Prof factor 0.654? Way too low nowadays. Now, you will see a lot of improvement if you upgrade it to 0.79. That will make a lot of difference, yes. More than a radiant.
Yes, that spell rotation is correct. But only needed for later rounds IW / PFFEST

That doesn't make sence, your gears are excellent and forged, prof_F shouldn't be such low. Have you got Eminent Elementalist?

Yes.

After Calculation he should already have that Perk.
The Problem is just his basic Prof. seems he doesn't play much recently, because even I as a Player who play Arena and rest for 2 Years have 555 base Prof. now. Just play to raise his Prof. will be fine.

Your gear's fine (good, even) - that's just how mage plays. IW is a little easier than fest. One way you can get a quick boost to your stats in those modes is using scrolls for buffs instead of relying on innate arcana, since the scroll versions are stronger.

That should be the smoking gun

But why is it such low? Assimilator Lv.0 ?

Well, that will take a while. When I was more active I played the last 6 arenas everyday and my prof barely changed.

Yes.

As I said in my previous post, I haven't played for over a year, so that's why my prof is low.

I know, but I thought I'd be using them only in deep Pffest, not from 100th round.

Assimilator lv.10

I know, but I thought I'd be using them only in deep Pffest, not from 100th round.

I use them starting from turn 0, on all my sets. It's just faster and more comfortable.

For imperil mode, it's at about round 400 where I would need to start using them for consistent clears (otherwise, there is a possibility of random death from spirit being tanked by too many spirit shield hits).

I see. Well then, maybe I take being mage too lightly. It seems that the best option for now is to grind proficiency.

Speed helps survive a little bit, yeah, but yes, you might be taking mage lightly - in the olden days, the game was a lot easier than it is now.

Besides updates that have made it harder, the biggest thing is the difference in monsters - when 0.86 hit, the top end monster labs were around PL1000, but now the lowest level monsters you'll see are around PL1500, and there are close to 100 max-level monsters. Plus the chaos upgrade situation is crazy - we think the average, per monster appearance in battle (so weighted up a bit by 2250s appearing more often than lower investment monsters), is around level 12-14 in every stat.

Mage is still the fastest by far, but it's a lot more dangerous than it used to be. Radiant non-imperil holy is even on the verge of being pushed out of pfests due to reliance on elixirs to survive (and again, random deaths can happen in a single turn, from your entire spirit bar being eaten by too many spirit shield hits plus spark of life).

We think a full fest is, at the peak of play, around 1000 turns slower now than it was back then, due to monsters having more HP, and more cures needed.

Should I upgrade MMit and Crushing on my mage rig?

If you're wealthy (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

PMit & Evd are more important

I just pumped everything to max the other days, except MMit and Crushing and hit chance

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) you can pump them too if HGC is not a problem, they can still help, although they are least cost-effective (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

I perfer this one, a very good non-ethereal katana, near-peerless.

How about the Bleeding Wound chance ? is it an important stat ?
