What we are assuming right now. Rapier (of Balance) = Arena. Shortsword (of Balance) = The Tower (high floors). Three pieces of Power of Protection/Slaughter/Balance + two pieces of Shade. Tower Shield plus Featherweight seems to be the play. This is regarding One-Handed plus shield.
These are conjectures. We are at least a month away from anything where this would really matters. Unless you are a psychopath and wish to do 25/25 of a Peerless Item World. In which case. Someone (Fatepain, how apt) did that. Three hours for the last "level".
I don't even have Peerless in Persistent, no way I'll get one in Isekai in my first month playing. If I combine Power and Shade, don't I lose all the Heavy abilities? Namely Heavy Crush, Heavy Prcg, Heavy Slsh and Heavy HP. Don't they require that I use the 5 equipment slots with heavy armament in order to work?
