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)...

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.

Is there a point imperil monsters / schoolgirls when you're using ethereal?

I definitively feel the difference, penetrated armour works too.

Ah thanks, yeah i noticed a slightly boosts.

Ethereal will be mitigated by their Physical Mitigation and Void mitigation.
If you take a non-ethereal non-IW10 rapier, its damage type will be Piercing, which will be mitigated by Physical Mitigation and Piercing mitigation.

The only actual difference is that while some SGs have Piercing Mitigation (Konata +25%, Ryouko +50%, Yuki +50%) and only one doesn't (Mikuru -1%), all of them have a Void mitigation of 0%. That explains the global higher output against them when using an Ethereal weapon.

Howeever, if they have 0% Void mitigation, they still have their physical mitigation that reduces the amount of damage they take from an ethereal melee weapon. So reducing that PMit with either Penetrated Armor or Imperil will increase the damage they take even further.

There is still one more way to increase your damage output against them: additional elemental strikes (IW10, infusions). Please do note that the SGs elemental mitigations do kick in against a melee weapon's elemental strikes, so keep in mind that if Penetrated Armor reduces PMit, it doesn't reduce elemental mitigations. While Imperil does reduce both PMit and EMit. That's why it still could be a good idea to use Imperil even while playing a Rapier.

Ethereal will be mitigated by their Physical Mitigation and Void mitigation.

Thank you for clarify. it's clear now. and here i was.. thought the boosted up from imperil was caused because void considered magic. ^ ^

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.

Yeah...I tried that script, but I had hard time understanding it. Should I just look for items with higher percentage and IW/forge it? Because I have never done either of them...

The percentage is how it compares to others items of the same type.
100% is better than all of them, 75% is better than 3/4 of them, 50% is better/worse than half, 25% is worse than 3/4 of them, 0% is worse than all of them.

But it seems that even 0% is better than anything non-legendary, except lucky Magnificent rolls maybe, and even then only for one or two of the stats.

There's actually quite a bit of overlap between different quality gear in most cases. 0% is only the lowest known, 100% is the highest known. The only thing we can be absolutely certain about is the highest possible for Legendary because of Peerless quality existing.

Wrong. The percentages shown in my auctions or my shops are the percentage inside the Legendary range, so you can clearly see that there are actually quite a lot of Magnificent equips that do have higher stat than the weakest legendary in that stat. The most impressive ones I've seen so far are Magnificent Power non-Slaughter that can reach as high as 60% ADB. Even a few Exquisites find themselves in that legendary range.

What's the most efficient way to upgrade/unlocking potencies for high-quality equips in the Item World? You've got 60-100 rounds for Magnificent-Peerless equips (I'm only assuming it's 100 rounds for peerless, since it's 60 for mags, and 80 for legends), play at low difficulties and you'll get peanuts for PXP, you'll have to play like 8 times just to get one potency tier (Hell-Nintendo).

Play at high difficulties (IWBTH-PFUDOR), and it takes forever to do, especially when you're a low-level player like me. It legit took me 1 hour to clear a single Item World gauntlet on PFUDOR for a legendary, it's baffling, not at all efficient.

So, is there a more efficient way to go about this? And if there isn't, what can I do to make it more so? I wish there was a skill you could train to get more PXP, boy would that be great.

You can pay people to do it for you, look for IW service in WTS section.

Or else, most efficient way is to first get a better equipment set, so you can manage higher difficulty.

Noted, thanks.

From the pics above, i got the summary of my battle, i'm using 1h-power, but i dealt magical damage. What kind of magic damage? Because i used no elemental/dark/holy, or maybe the spike shield that read as magical attack? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

or maybe the spike shield that read as magical attack?

that is correct, it separates spike damage from elemental strikes

that is correct

Great.., thank you very much..
And i'm sorry if asked it in wrong thread.. (maybe?)

What much of difference does void damage make comparing to other damage types? I wonder if I should spend 500k on this one and soulful it?
