If you want depr prof, you can, you know... use a CW piece of cloth?

Then you would end up losing more EDB, which would net you worse results.

Though deprecating prof is just a bonus, the most appealing stat is CR.

I don't see why would one chose a fiery/arctic willow, since a willow has absolutely no affinity with those two elements.

The EBD loss (27.8 at my level or 37.81 fully forged) is worth the CR gain. The amount of imperil casts for a GF run is more than everything else combined, and the only way to reduce that number efficiently is through counter resist, the damage bonus is similar to using infusion with the damage boost very negligible.

Since the 20% overboost proficiency change, you can get achieve 0.65 prof factor with 5 phases pieces (ableit this is w/ redwood) making EBD even less valuable overall. I could see those who have enough DD perks/forge levels try a single piece of curse-weaver.

For arena? I think you can mangage pfudor arena without charged. But you will be faster with each. My end-game cold build was: 3 charged 2 radiants for arena, 4 charged 1 radiant for pffest. And that was very, very fast in non-SG arena.

Barely got through 60 rounds at the cost of a spirit elixir. It only keeps up with melee if I get lucky with riddlemasters. I suppose that's managing, but more than once I had to troll a single monster to refresh the item cooldowns, so this run was super slow. 13.9% cast rate is not enough unless it needs a different element, or more prof or avoidance (0.67 ele, 0.16 dep, 40.1% evade). I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If you were referring to Schoolgirl Arenas, yea since you will never one shot two or three full-health bosses. Non-SG Arenas, Nooo very likely you will one shot them. ppl yes if you don't cast during spirit stance.

Stanced ofc kills konata and brings the other girls to at least half if they're imperiled or PA'd.

Been playing mage for 2 days. I have 3 charges, 4 spellweavers on staff.
I also need 0~2 health elixirs, 1~3mana elixirs for non-SG Arenas, though spirit elixirs are never needed.
23.1% casting bonus, 48.9%evade with featherweight shard on staff.
For SGs, almost same time less turns, 10mins, 15mins, 22mins respectively.
For non-SGs, 1h(2.95/s)-->dark(1.8~2.0t/s), slightly less time. For a 60 round, 1h=6mins+ dark=4.5mins

Also I wonder if you have issue with mana? Potions and draughts are not enough for me to sustain my mana, I might need a mana elixir every 15~20rounds.

Took me over 9 minutes (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Didn't look at t/s.
Mana's no problem with ele @ 85% cost, but that's more from spirit management and increased kill speed giving me more gems. If the spirit bar is almost full I wait for spark to trigger before using a potion, or a full cure if there's no potion to use. I only use normal cures if spirit is at 2/3rds and health is low at the end of a round, or after debuffs. Monsterbation's hp warning is set to 0.15 so I have more control on when spark triggers. I'm only okay with using elixirs on IW so I'm kinda mad I needed one on arena (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I only use holy for sgs, and only with an aether shard. 93.5% cost, no mana elixirs needed, but I put points in faster drain so I can always have ether theft running. Without a shard I'd have to tap and focus constantly so I never play holy without one.

Monsterbation's hp warning is set to 0.15

I recommand 0.5.

Is there a big downside to forging the block chance on this Legendary Force Shield past Level 5? Is there a big return on forging the PABs up to Level 5? I don't see many other better options in WTS unless I want to spend 1,500 soul fragments to Soulfuse a 400+ shield with maybe 1-1.5% better block.

Also, at what point is a Rapier of Slaughter better than a Rapier of Balance? My Rapier of Balance base is +38.51, but the other stats are near the top end for Legendary range; should I be aiming to upgrade if I see a Rapier of Slaughter whose base is +48.51 or something like +45? An option is something like the 2nd link below if I spend 1,200 soul fragments to Soulfuse.

Shield : i think you have to replace it, block chance is too low

Rapier : slaughter has more damage than balance (that has more attack acc), and the second rapier is not that good and not worth to soulfuse (i think). You should participate in tonight's auction (i guess)

(Correct me if i'm wrong)

I recommand 0.5.

That's too hish aswell. With 0.5, you keep being stopped for nothing. 0.3 is a good compromise between safety and not healing for nothing.

If your Equipments are tough enough or you play with lower Difficulity and so that the Spark of Life is not oft triggered, I think 0.3 can also be OK. If not, with 0.5 it doesn't waste Cure and can save your SP.

I have 2H and heavy amour now, but according to Wiki advice, two 2H/Light or 1H/heavy are the recommended combo, should I change now or just keep going like this?

Heavy Armor doesn't go well with 2 hand because with no evasion and no block you become a sponge for taking damage.

so...do you suggest me to change amour or weapon?

For me, you should change them all (the whole set) because "fine" suffix is an old gear (if i'm correct). You should visit decondelite's auction to search and bid some good weapon/armor. I suggest you to use 1h/shield/heavy for a long term battle before you reach the mage style...

(Correct me if i'm wrong)

Then you would end up losing more EDB, which would net you worse results.

Though deprecating prof is just a bonus, the most appealing stat is CR.

are we sure? has this option even been considered yet? seeing how many people are going for the Depr perk and mages claim to be already so OP, i don't really think that replacing a low-EDB phase slot with a CW cotton (maybe charged, they are cheap anyways) will screw your build up so much.

anyone up for a test? i can lend the following:
Peerless Zircon Cotton Gloves of the Curse-weaver
Peerless Ruby Cotton Cap of the Curse-weaver

Thank you, but what is decondelite's auction? Where do I find it?

Here. I also recommend checking out his WTS Shop as well.

I mean that running a redwood with a curseweaver piece will net you lower EDB than a willow with a phase piece.

On top of that you will lose the CR and the deprecating prof difference will be minor. So IMO curse-weaver gear isnt a good choice.
