Set 2 is good enough, for weapon i recommend you to search for a rapier and force shield that the level close to yours, so at least you're not gonna soulfuse them. Because at your level you're gonna change/switch equipments pretty fast, so don't waste your soulfrags, except you have a decent legendary tier equipment that worth it. And for the armors, you should change them to all exquisite power at least..

Just my 2 cents... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

...

The Shortsword would be much better than the Axe. I used a similar Shortsword when I was around your level. Get it to IW 10 to get Void Strike, and put 5 levels of forging on each stat.

Next objective should be obtaining a decent force shield. You'll want to get your block as high as possible, and this could get expensive. Look for a Magnificent/Legendary Force shield with decent block. Kite might be fine at your level, but I wouldn't soulfuse it or forge it too much.

For the Armor, try to get a full set of Exquisite/Magnificent Power Armor of Protection/Warding. If you struggle to survive with a full set of power armor, try switching out one or two pieces for Plate of Protection. At your level I used a mixed set of power and plate, mostly Exq/Mag and could do everything on PFUDOR.

Also judging by your screenshots it seems you don't have at least some of the abilities relevant to your play style slotted. Go to the abilities page and make sure that you have unlocked and slotted all the General, Heavy Armor, One-Handed abilities, and in Supportive 1 & 2 Better Cure, Better Regen, Stronger Spirit, Better Protection, Better Spark, and a Spike Shield.

And in case you don't do this already, keep Spark of Life, Spirit Shield, Protection, Regen, and Heartseeker active in battle. You might also consider getting a couple levels of the Innate Arcana hath perk to make this a little more convenient (and slightly cheaper mana wise)

Sorry for butting in, but reading this gave me a question: Wouldn't this set of equipment make runs take a long time to complete?

I'm running a DW+Light combo and sometimes it takes me between 20-30 minutes to complete Etarnal Darkness in IWBTH.

I wanted to change to 1H+Heavy, but the fact that I think it's going to take more time to complete runs puts me off.

But it has the highest survivability in all type of battle, and of course with the good equipments and profs.
Ahh.., if i only i can put regen and heartseeker in IA slot... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Not sure if a bug? Found a spooky staff that I guess might have a rounding error on the soul fragments?

The 9-10 rounding errors appear a lot. And remember, it's never a bug. It's a feature.

That's what you get when calculations are made in floating (possibly just 32bit reals) then you convert the final value top integer. It gets truncated instead of rounded, and "1339,998" that would be expected to give "1340" comes out as "1339" instead. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I doubt someone will ever bother to change this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Silly you. That's not a feature, that's working as intended.

I don't know much about DW Light. I've only ever used 1H. But one thing that you can do with melee regardless of build is use infusions on your weapons. The SG's are weak to Holy and Dark, so infuse your main hand with either and that should improve clear speed by a fair bit. Use featherweight shards on your weapons (and leather if you have any) to lower burden. All I know other than that is that there are a few good weapon combos (Club+Rapier, Rapier+Waki, maybe a couple more), and that for armor Shadowdancer > Fleet > Arcanist = Negation. As for how an optimized DW Light build compares to 1H Heavy, I have no idea.

... you'd be dangerously close to botting (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Has anyone tried to figure out the difference between an item's drop chance and its representation in wts? Three weeks later and I'm still nowhere near completing the look.

Then that's very dangerous...

Hello, forgive me for being a pleb (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
but i stopped playing for some time, and now i am not sure which of the shields is better, regarding BC mainly (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
i guess it shoudl be the second one, iirc i bought it somewhere probably O:)

shield 1
shield 2

More dex means more parry for counters, but they both have agility and you can't soulfuse the second one until at least level 363, so you might as well wait for a str-dex-end shield to upgrade into later instead of sidegrading into that one.

yeah i know they are both shite, but im unsure which has better base block value, because of the upgrades on the first one (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
nowhere near fusing that anyway, have very little shards since i didnt play, and also have some better stuff to fuse too

Via wiki formulas: the base block is 37.4, or about 61% compared to the other shield's 94%. Mag max is 36.47, so it's not totally shite (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

yes, that is what i was after, thanks man (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) i know its not terrible, but could still be better statwise right.
Then i might as well fuse it for the block, if there is enough shards, will see about that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Simple: there is no direct relation between both. One great way to understand this, is to check how low the price for 2H is, while these things drop much less frequently than 1H.

But the estoc's price is still a skyhigh, and i got lucky because mine is not that expensive for a set...

hey kukrak is still alive
