[X] My Assistant

I see, thanks to all who replied.

The problem for me is that the first light set I have is better from the PoV of stats, because it's mainly plain Mags, except one Exq and one Leg Shade. But it has lower (79%) Offhand chance.
The second is all shade and has 88% chance, but is worse in stats since it's one Leg, 3 Exq and one Sup (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I was trying both, but could not decide which was best to use. That's why I was willing to try a Heavy set, to improve my tankiness, at least until I can equip better Light pieces at higher level.

As for weapons, Mag Shortword Slaughter for main hand and Mag Rapier Slaughter in offhand. I'm planning to change at least one of them (the shortsword) for a suitable Leg around lv.250 thou'

Thanks again to everyone who sent PMs (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

1) If you still have any plate or leather in your build its probably time to change these out for power or shade.
2) Shade is for tanking, power is for additional damage.
3) Some say power doesn't go well with dw, because its not tanky enough, but i'd like to remind that with dedicated nimble rapier in the offhand it isn't hard to push yourself over 70% parry, with minimal adb loss (and nimble rapier is much cheaper than slaughter one anyway). Also power of protection isn't that expensive too, while giving decent survivability boost and still having wayyy more damage bonus than shade ever could. Just don't forget about haste+shadow veil.
4) With shade story is a bit more complicated:If you need more survivability, then its pretty easy to get enough with shade, however after some time you'll try to increase your damage output and... well... with shade its a curve that only gets steeper. Despite DW being the best chance to get most out of crit chance/crit damage of savage shadowdancer with two weapon crit chance and probably fatality on both weapons, i still don't see it outdamaging power (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'd go for the Niflheim, I think

Does anybody know what the delay is for a monster winning a battle and then bringing you materials? I've seen it before where it'll get a new win in the last day after not winning any for weeks, but I don't get the materials until a little later...

A monster can give gifts up to once per hour.


Does 1h rapier really outperform shortsword in high+forged gear?

Automatic play?
No, I have used a few of scripts, but they are ordinary things. (Riddle Limiter, Spell Spam, REClicker, etc...)

Just by the name these scripts stink the forbidden automation from miles away...
I don't see any of those scripts in the wiki nor in any of our stickies, so there's absolutely no guarantee that they're legit.

To top that off, ignorance won't be a valid excuse for using these scripts, as players are thoroughly warned that any script that hasn't been approved by the mods isn't guaranteed to be allowed to use. We don't even need/want to know if you found them on these forums, there is no way we can make a full list of what's OK and what isn't ue to the ludicrous amount of posts in the related threads.

Riddle Limiter and Spell Spam are old, pre-monsterbation scripts https://ehwiki.org/index.php?title=Scripts_...amp;oldid=46291
Don't remember REClicker but it probably opens half-hourlies from gallery pages back when people complained about missing them all the time. Either way it's probably a bad idea to use old scripts since the current ones are heavily vetted and have their own threads, though I still don't see the point when these same scripts make it impossible to die.

Unless you played for 3 days straight or shared or used multiple accounts in some way, one of those """etc""" scripts earned you das boot.

Enough speculation, guys. Let it rest now, okay? And don't believe every sad story you read on the internet.

aye. as i wrote him in a pm, spellspam *used* to be used - now monsterbation took its place. riddle limiter (or a fix, don't know exactly) it's still used. as for REClicker, not sure, but it may be something to make answers clickable. one of those things for hardcore players who don't like to waste two seconds of their life...

oh, and this:

and this too. i moved discussion to PM for this reason. now, if he cares to answer my pm, feel free. otherwise, well... we know, right?

I wonder what should I do to get to higher difficulty or clear the arena more efficiently.

Because right now I can do hell easy, but in Nintendo, some monster can crit me with over 9+ dmg and plus other monsters attack which in result kills me in one turn.

Should I just have spirit shield and spark of life up for the whole time? Because I have all 5 auto-cast unlocked, but it seems like it's costing quite a lot of mana.

Or should I change my gear? According to the wiki I should have the power set, but it provides much less damage mitigation than normal ones, is offense best defense?

Or should I change to Mage now?

When I was around lv250, I could already clean all on IWBTH, and the first two schoolgirl Arena on PFD. You should check if you have the correct abilities already. Spark of light, spirit shield, protection always up, and haste and shadow veil if needed(usually low-level player might need haste). Mana issue? Use your draughts and potions. Cast weaken or silence if needed.
Generally, 1H has the best survivability at low level. You should go for full powers. buy power of protection or warding and maybe a better rapier.

-snip-

Your armor is quite lagging behind for your level, you shouldn't be using even Exquisite around 275, let alone Superior. Get some Mag Powers. Preferably change your shield with a Force one, too. Also, your agility is too high for 1H Heavy, I recommend subtracting 50 points or so.

Thank you for respons. But where should I get those equipments? Most of the things in evils auction are around 300 or plus which will take quite a while for me to reach that level. And about that shield, that one have 37% block chance, which is best one I have seen so far, how much should I aiming for?

If you have that many credits, why not change your whole set to magnificent-legendary? Buy magnificent or legendary rapier of slaughter, force shield, and set of power armor of protection/warding that not so expensive. But don't fuse them, because you're gonna change rapidly at your level. For low level, you can check decondelite shop or auction (next auction i think, because #24 had ended)...

Exq Power should still be enough at Lvl300. Maybe not for IWBTH or PFUDOR, but still very decent.
A full Magnificent Power set usually comes slightly a bit after Lvl300. Back then I had mine around Lvl310 or so.
Keep in mind that it's not everyone who has the luck/money to have a full set before Lvl300, and that at Lvl275 neither IWBTH nor PFUDOR are the difficulty you're looking for.

The latest auction has some equipments around your level and below, as long as its level is not too low compared to your current level it's still not a bad idea to buy, a 250 level Mag Power would be just fine as well for example. There's also his WTS, in case you can't find the thing you're looking for in Auctions. About shield, I recommend installing Live Percentile Ranges to compare your current shield to another one to see if block chance is better or not, though I think any force shield will be better than your current one.

On the matter of soulfusing, I don't agree ... a reasonably cheap average legendary when soulfused (and eventually forged 5 and IWed) is better in the long run then the same kind of legendary with better stats but not soulfused, because you are leveling up.

After a few levels, your cheap soulfused one will best the not-soulfused even if top-notch (and that would be paid dearly).

Sure, soulfusing you loose the possibility of selling it, but also lowers the need to buy a new one every 20 levels or so.

Just don't soulfuse any lower then Leg, at your level it's just a waste of soulfrags.

Should I just have spirit shield and spark of life up for the whole time?

Duh. As well as every other available buff, including draughts. Better gear won't save you if you won't even do this much.
Also take at least 100 points out of both int and wis. Use another persona if you want to mage and melee.

However, burden above 70 lowers your crit rate, so in this case "better gear" includes using mythril, ethereal weapons, feathers, or magnificents with good rolls to lower that number. You also need to block and parry to get counterattacks, so if you can't find or won't shrine trophies to get a force shield, you should drop the slaughter rapier for a nimble.

Vital Strike kills stunned enemies in one hit. If you're determined not to use skills, infuse your ethereal or item-worlded-to-ten weapon to get three strikes and if you still can't kill, use imperil. You shouldn't be having any problems on pfudor with the style bonuses capped.

you shouldn't be using even Exquisite around 275.

Exq Power should still be enough at Lvl300. Maybe not for IWBTH or PFUDOR, but still very decent.

And here I am, still using mostly exquisite power of slaughter. With it 88 levels of PFUDOR IW are doable (requires haste + shadow veil on second half ofcourse). For arenas its also quite fast, even with occasional shadow veil casts (or even haste) it still was faster than with 3pab mag power of protection (importantly both unupgraded, because i'm not made out of money), at least for me anyway (feel free to blame my nimble rapier to support your belief on how insanely good power of protection is).
Also its cheaper than dirt: 12.5k~ish from bazaar, and you can sell back for 2.5k. If you're checking bazaar with hvut (all in one option with proper filter setup) or just browsing bazaar after every RE, you can quickly get quite a lot of good ones (high adb), which brings me to the best bit: 10k a piece is cheaper than 1 amnesia (let alone 5 with my luck), so get jug 20+. Also exq pos costs half the fragments to fuse, if thats your thing.

hvut? What is this? Is this the secret of the loot ninjas? I don't know how so many people regularly talk about getting good stuff from the shop.

HV Utils. The secret of loot ninjas is having ocd about checking bazaar all the time.
