Why willow staff has no elemental proficiency ranges on wiki?

it's clearly a typo. on "proficiency" row, the second "deprecating" cell actually should be "elemental".

Damn, you're right, fixed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

But Willow still has Supportive in Wiki.

should be fine now.

Anyone has experience with IWs on staff. How many shards on average would you expect to finish a S/P only staff? or the cost if you send it to a IW shop that charges you 8c per pxp?

Don't have the staff yet. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I just want to have a sense how much so I can decide if I do the perfect IW...


I'm poor. which potencies of how many would you recommend if I don't have the budget to perfect IW? Thanks.

Does the extra elemental strikes that you get from infusion enchantments affect skills such as OFC?

I'll do a guarranteed P5S4 for 7m. But that's for rich players only, fast and safe not cheap.

There are budget IW services also...

If you do it yourself, you'll have to be prepared to spend 200 amnesias - less if your lucky, more if you're RoadShoe.

If you don't have the budget... well, get as close to P5S4 as possible, just do it yourself and take your time. You'll get some income from IW, save up some millions to get the IW service if you're unlucky.

I don't think so. OFC damage is always just void, iirc.

That's out of your budget. Perfect IW is for rich people, or luckers. I've been rather lucky for the SW5P4 I got for my staff, and I didn't want to waste bazzillions just to get that tiny of a difference.

A gold star isn't sold for a number of bitcoins but the equivalent of $90 USD value (+10% bonus due to fluctuation) so the value of bitcoin should not matter at all aside from the transaction fee.

The only reason the price sky rocketed during the boom is pure speculation, aka why would you sell for x when you could sell for 2x the next day.

Ahhhh I thought it was because one or more people said "Catgirl Camarilla is for peons - I want every star in the multiverse": basically demand blew the doors off of supply and prices soared into hard vacuum.

speaking of which, are you still active?

Always active

I got pretty lucky with mine, took me about 35 shards.
I think u can check out some IW shops, some might keep records of their IW results, so u can get a rough gauge on how many u might have to spend.

If im not wrong then it looks like this without perks for specific 5 and 4. Otherwise its half of that (double chance).

Below 50 only for 9% cases.
In 50-150 range we already have 15% and most popular 150-350 which is 22%. Summary below 350 we have almost half. Quite interesting how 5% of all situations must pay more than 2k shards and thats not even maximum.

Magnificent Cobalt Power Helmet of Warding
Legendary Cobalt Plate Helmet of Warding

I'm having a hard time deciding to wear which one of these helmets, on one hand I like Attack Damage + Attack Accuracy from Power Armor but on the other hand, Legendary's Physical Mitigation is significantly better. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Power, always power.
Shielding Plate is a distant second.

Just use plate if you have problem surviving (for 1H you should get high blocking shield ASAP) and switch to power of slaughter once PFUDOR is easy.

I think I'll go with Power then, I can clear the first part of arena on PFUDOR and the second part on IWBTH without casting Cure every turn or so, thanks for the answers. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm interesting in the proper Way of playing 1H with Shortswords for low Level Players.
If they're between lv 140 and lv 225, they only have Faster Imperil Tier 1 and Imperil has only one Target and 2 Turns Cooldown.
1. If the Imperil missed or is resisted, what should he do in the 2-Turns-Cooldown?
2. Should he use Spirit Stance to increase his Damage? If yes, can he keep having enough OC to keep his Spirit Stance if he uses Imperil?
3. If he has a Chance to use a Rapier with similar Quality, should he turn to use the Rapier or he should still use Shortsword with Imperil?
4. If he has a Chance to use an Axe with similar Quality, should he turn to use the Axe with Imperil or the Shortsword is still better?

Who, apart from decon, thinks shortswords are great and why (i'm not getting "because they fit" answer)? I considered them to be the worst 1h weapon, behind axe and waki (but at least waki has its uses thanks to high parry also niten). If you need more survivability and can't find good rapier why not just opt for a lower quality one? If you need more damage and can't find good rapier why not just go for club or, again, for a lower quality rapier?

As for the axe, my first good leg selfdrop was axe with 93% adb, and i thiught i'd check it out (hell, i even bought a few similar rapiers to test effect of different iw proficiencies for dw, since i didn't expect it to be any good with 1h). Guess what? It was trash with 1h, and it was pretty bad as dw mainhand. Compared with club, bleeding wounds doesn't do that much damage, while you lose all damage advantage to being parried, even with overpower (and if you below 200% acc, you gonna get evaded more too). In fact, it performed worse than my old soulfused superior club, so yeah, stun > a bit of damage+bleed.

Well, I've used Shortsword myself in 2014 for some Time, it's really a bad Memory for me, so I don't use it anymore, and also don't advise anyone to use it anymore. But if someone says I'm wrong, and with some Playstyles and the proper Way Shortsword can really work good, I'm thankful and glad to learn it.

My only Suggestion for Shortswords maybe for 1H-Mage:
If someone has enough Defense with his Buckler of Barrier but need more Damage for OFC, maybe he can change the Wakizashi of Battlecaster to Shortsword of Battlecaster.

I also think for DW Club + Rapier is better than Axe + Rapier, because with a Club in main Hand we don't need Overpower in both Hand, but someone tells me that in the three SG Arena Axe+Rapier works better, because the most Damage there are created by Frenzied Blows and Skills won't be parried. I think he is right.

Well, thats exactly what i expected to happen when i tested it. Also bw should've worked the best when switching between SGs to build pa stacks. But for me waiting for overcharge/cleaning up took enough moves that axe's advantage was lost, or at least became unnoticeable. I would very much want to hear if anyone actually managed to make it work.
