[X] My Assistant

Hi experts, I remembered hearing somewhere that as the level goes up both players and monsters become tankier, so 1H heavy usually use power protection/warding set at lower levels, and then upgrade to slaughter at higher levels. Is the statement correct?
If so, what is roughly the level for transition, ~Lv400ish?

And I finally managed to collect a set of legendary equips that I plan to soulfuse and use until I start transitioning to power slaughter. Could anyone look at it and point out if I make any mistakes, or some equip is just wasting my soul fragments?
Legendary Demonic Shortsword of Slaughter (already soulfused)
Legendary Cobalt Force Shield of Stoneskin
Legendary Cobalt Power Helmet of Warding
Legendary Shielding Plate Cuirass of Protection (I think with one shielding plate piece I can stop using haste or SV in arenas. Or should I just look for another power armor and keep using haste+SV?)
Legendary Cobalt Power Gauntlets of Warding
Legendary Onyx Power Leggings of Balance
Legendary Amber Power Boots of Protection (already soulfused)

You don't need shielding plates, no. If you feel you need more defense, just forge the block on your shield more. More forging on all of your gear, and you soon don't need much healing.

Is there an updated plugin for mousing over equipment stats to see the percentages of how good they are? I had a super old one that I can't find anymore nor remember what the name of it is.

You should not use Shadow Veil at that level and gear quality anymore. Haste on the other hand has so little downsides, I'd not bother thinking about going without it. Barely a difference in turns needed and massively increases survivability. It's also more convenient as your buffs last more enemies.

As for slaughter, it's not like you'll readily get that whenever you want. So just try to get it. You should be limited enough with soul fragments and the likes anyway, at that level.

edit: I just saw the Shortsword. That's pretty bad. A shortsword can perform quite alright with enough DD, and forged gear and/or low enough level. You may wanna look for a Rapier though. It's much more convenient to play, as you also no longer need to worry about weakening the Vital Strike bleed on school girls, and can kinda ignore Imperil better. Missed targets aren't as bad as they are with a shortsword and you can even go no Imperil altogether. Still slower than with Imperil, but less mana cost and inputs.

Thank you for your advice!

I do have a rapier, albeit one with less ADB roll and less ideal elemental strike:
Legendary Tempestuous Rapier of Slaughter
So I should change to this rapier instead?

Shortsword will only get better as you level up. I wouldn't switch to rapier. Just use imperil, and make optimal use of the excellent damage and parry of the shortsword.

People used to think that rapier was better than shortsword, but extensive testing showed that shortsword is pretty close to rapier as soon as you have full imperil (lv340). At lower levels, imperil isn't fully available, and then rapier is a better choice.

In your case, both your shortsword and your rapier have great stats. It's what you prefer, both are excellent, make your own choice I'd say.

Is this a good weapon to soulfuse at my level? I use a 1-H heavy armor build

you don't have to soulfuse it if you just dropped it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I think that weapon is good enough to help you reach 300. You'll probably find or will be able to buy a better rapier by then

Hello!
I am starting on my new mage build! with a lil help from awesome people i am gunna take it for a spin today.
i use monsterbate
any suggestions on how to set up everything so i dont get slaughtered like when i accidently dont switch sets ><; lol
thanks all
cold mage if it matters! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Can you use FRD on isekai? I spent a few million credits getting a legendary agile set in preparation for doing DwD at 300 and getting FRD. Now I've done it and I can't even see titles in settings. Clearly should have checked before. Did I just blow a bunch of credits for no reason? Was planning on trying a FRD DW build...

Hi! Well assuming you're using a new persona for this don't forget to set everything up again regarding abilities, item inventory, autocast spells, quickbar stuff and primary attributes. It seems obvious but it's easy to forget when moving to a new style and could be very bad if you forget. Also stock up on a lot of Mana Potions and forge the proficiency on your staff/elementalist pieces as much as possible as your top priority. You might see there's a lot of talk about going with 4 phases and 1 elementalist piece for elemental mages but there's no shame in using 2 or even 3 of the latter if you're low on prof and starting out, however you might want to replace those as it grows into more phases because you'll be lacking in power which means being slow, which means dying quickly.

If you use monsterbation try to set your hover action to your element spells beforehand, otherwise you'll find yourself whacking the monsters with your staff and dealing very little damage. It would be something like this:

CODE

Strongest([Cast('Fimbulvetr'), Cast('Blizzard'), Cast('Freeze')])

Having an IWed staff also helps a lot and is a great source of cast speed if you get spellweaver on it and you're struggling with finding charged pieces. For arena purposes charged/radiants aren't an absolute necessity as those just make it safer/faster but everything helps. And at some point you'll want to forge the staff and cloth so prepare some mats and credits too, because unforged mage sets aren't exactly faster than melee sets but are way more risky to play.

You can also check Nezu's guide for more info too but as always if you struggle too much and it's unfun try lowering the difficulty.

No, there's no titles in isekai and FRD is tied to Dovahkiin which isn't available. Same with OFC and the pony figurines. But not everything is lost, afaik DW should still be pretty capable and fast for DWD but yeah...

May I ask when is a good time to start upgrade weapon and farming for their potency? I started the game a few days ago and don't have much luck with equipment so i'm really hesitating to commit on a grind on IW or spending material to upgrade equipments that doesn't seem good. But without upgrade i feel like i will be stucking in nintendo mode forever plus running through area stages take forever, even with void damage weapon, haste, heartseeker and spamming spirit stance.

For weapon upgrades I would do it right now for the first few levels and as long as the upgrades don't need bindings. Even then some bindings are relatively cheap and you could take it further because salvage gives most of your invested stuff back (90%) but for upgrades requiring pricey stuff like bindings of slaughter better to wait until you have a solid weapon that you feel could last you for a long time.

For potencies I think it will start becoming important whenever you reach the "schoolgirl" arenas, which should be after lvl 225, maybe 250, mostly because of time rather than survivability. But even then the potencies themselves will not be the important part, but the hollowforge status that comes after IW10.

You still have time to get some equip before it becomes really slow so don't worry too much yet but keep your eyes open for low lvl equips in the WTS section along with some free items too, and if you're using below exquisite stuff by the time you're close to lvl 300 or so might want to sacrifice 1 or 2 noodly appendages from the Flying Spaghetti Ring of Blood to get at the very least exq tier items to complete a basic set.

Ah i see, i didn't know salvage will give me back 90% of my investment, that is a very player friendly mechanics i would say. I should start upgrading some then. Thank you for a very detail answer.

I have been getting some magnificent equipment but they are all none heavy or one hand so it is kinda a let down. Low level void damage weapon is really hard to find as well so I ended up using an axe instead of short sword, rapier or wakizashi. Living on edge everyday with barely any parry stat was kinda thrilling.

Mind you, 90% of materials (i.e. Low/Mid/Hi Grade Wood/Metal/Leather/Cotton) and Bindings, but nothing for the Catalysts you have to use; that's why he said to forge only a few level of important stats and stop there.

IW10 gives void damage to any weapon, so you don't have to search/hope for Ethereal weapons, just find a good one and get IW10 on it.
Axe is especially bad at low-mid levels, to the point that people would use a good Exquisite Rapier or Magnificent Shortsword or Club (for the Stun effect ) rather then have to use a Legendary Axe.

Has the Legendary Core materials been implemented yet? Or is there a pre-requisite that I have yet to achieve for my equipment?

Just wondering, what will happen to our Isekai market balances once the season is over?

it's regarded as credits and handled like that

May I ask, should I try to stall my progress in persistent mode for a while and wait till i finished all of the upgrade on quartermaster and luck of the draw? Meanwhile i can try to farm isekai mode. Level 250 is drawing closer and I probably won't get decent equipment to challenge PFUDOR mode at this rate. My plan is switch back to normal difficulty for less exp gain and only do daily stages that give trophy.
