I think I saw Basara and Uncle using it too...
Does they also have the perks???

I don't know about them - I practiced both ways a bunch to get the best results, but I don't know if either of them did the same or if they just guessed.

Turn wise, VS only is better...
Maybe my dmg is still not enough???

TBH, i have no idea, people keep mention you just need enough damage, but i assume, i will never reach that damage with my defensive build and i just dont have the resources or motivation right now to make a slaughter build. I also even suspect that even with a slaughter build my damage would still be too low to pull it off.

So i would suggest to not bother with it and just stay with VS. VS works, that the OFC does is for me nothing but an urban myth.

Edit:
Now i rechecked again, they also use it in DwD, VS + OFC...

@Uncle...
IIRC I already tried using only OFC 2 year ago on legacy DWD...

I do not have Manehattan Project. But someday I'll have it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I use OFC just because I was accustomed to it. That's it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Until a year ago I did not use Vital Strike, simply because I am terrible to administer the overcharge efficiently. Even today, I continue to commit many mistakes. That is why the amount of turns of my results is always higher than that of other players of the same level.

As I know I will never improve my techniques, I gave up worrying about the number of turns, and I prefer to play comfortably and in the shortest time possible. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hmm, yeah you right...
I just curious when I saw OFC usage on SG arena...
I thought I made a wrong assumption about it, and maybe I could get better result than what I've done...
I never get to use VS on every SG afterall... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Hi,

Recently i found that i could finish the PFU SG arenas with my trash dark mage build (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
(with a lot of mana potion and some spirit potion used, no need of spirit elixir)

Although my current build does satisfact my needs of a faster arena run, i'm trying to discover further potential of the mage style and maybe save some potions, so here is my question

Ether/Spirit Theft ability sounds pretty good, does it worth to spend a few ability points and cast on SG or boss?

Should i upgrade a trash soulfused legend equip? as i'm not going to replace it very shortly

No, that sounds pretty bad because you need to cast Drain, waste of time
If you do care the potion and don't care the time, choose Staff of Focus

If you don't plan to get a new one soon, upgrade it, that helps a lot. When you finally get a better staff you can salvage the old one for material.
(If you don't have DD1 now, get it first, and then forge your staff)

Hello!

Can I make my below stat equipment any better?

This post has been edited by bugget: Aug 2 2021, 21:33

equipment scales to your level when soulfused, and you can increase the stats on equipment through forging
https://ehwiki.org/wiki/The_Forge

Both of those have a cost (soul fragment or forge materials/catalysts)

But it's hard to recommend if you should do that or not without knowing the equipment, often at low level you might find replacing equipment is better

Hi guys,
Just came back to the game after 5 years and reach level 300. I took on the new arena and got my ass handled to me in the first round by normal monsters thrice now, eventhough I'm only playing at normal. Apparently once they use skills half my HP goes brrrr.

I have protection and shadowveil autocasted. I only have 2 slot for autocasts for now.

Therefore I would like to ask for suggestions to improve my noob character (my equipment set up in my signature)

Sorry somehow I am unable to post picture of my stats here

If by new arena you mean A Dance with Dragons, you aren't playing on normal, it forces pfudor on that arena

You picked normal but they aren't normal. A very recent update makes arena 300 and the ones above automatically PFUDOR difficulty. Read the update notes.

Well guess I'm not doing it then lol

If you want to pass PFUDOR arena, you probably should try 1H style with power heavy set. Find a Legendary Rapier of Slaugher and a force shield with decent base block rate, no need to forge them and you will feel much better.

Guess it's time to undust my power armor set.

Thanks, I'm also on the hunt for a rapier but that weapon looks like it's on the must have list of everyone nowadays.

even though most of the pieces are obsolete, your light set is more than enough to clear dwd on pfudor, you just need to change that axe for a rapier and forge the parry of both weapons. That's all. If you feel that isn't enough, then change your current waki for a nimble one...

Tbh I think shortswords is also a viable option though you'll need to spam imperil to get similar result with rapier...
It'll also cheaper in most case...

Also, suggestion for your IA slot would be to use it for SoL and Spirit Shield rather than Protection...
That's because Protection's mana cost is low and the duration is long enough so you won't have trouble even if you manually cast it...

it should be significantly worse than rapier without the fully-upgraded imperil that unlocked at Level.330

but it's much cheaper...

I don't think 5% difference will make significant impact...
Tough yeah you'll need the 0 cd from lv. 310 ability...

It won't make that much of a difference at lower levels - monsters don't have the very high pmit/mmit they get at high levels yet. It starts to slow down as non-imperil in the mid-300s, mostly after you unlock the full upgrades for it. Before that, you can get away with non-imperil regardless of weapon.

I've finally managed to cobble together enough credits and/or Hath to consider purchasing a star. Assuming anyone still sells them.

Searching in the WTS/WTB forums, I see very little recent information.

Does anyone have anything like a best practice guide to purchasing stars, or some thoughts on reasonable current prices?

I've (just) reached out directly to several people I have some indication have been willing to sell in the past, but I thought I'd cast the net more broadly here.

Feel free to PM me if you would rather not answer here.

Thank you all very much!
