Godslayer makes you give more damage (and ups evade), while Dovhakiin makes you use Fus ro dah but that's only useful in fairly specific builds.

[Dovahkiin = fus ro dah + "godslayer perks"]

It's not like that? I thought it was....

Thank you

But before you decide to play a lot, please think again if it's worth to invest your Time to play that much.

In a Game, if you play a lot, you're promised to reach a high Level or...be rich of Credits in the Future; in the Life, you work hard everyday but one day you may still be fired or maybe the Company will bankrupt and so you lose your Job in the End. But that doesn't mean that I should use my Time for Study and Work to play a lot everyday, for me a Game doesn't worth that much.

Very wise words.

but if I study a lot everyday, nothing can promise that I'll also get a high Mark in the Test.

I'll nitpick this particular sentence though. Assuming you have mastered your subject, you are guaranteed to get a high mark in tests for math/science subjects, outside of flukes such as you get sick, or filled in the bubbles shifted by one. Although mastering your subject does not necessarily have much to do with length of studying. Natural ability and how you study is more important for math/science.

This also applies to games but RPGs tend to be more grindy than other games so you are rewarded for length of play, rather than skill of play, unfortunately. That's why I play more fighting games.

It's not like that? I thought it was....

no. it's clearly hinted in wiki and settings page. as for the reasoon, admin considered to do that for balance reasons, back then.

Godslayer gives bonus to your damage and evade.
Dovahkiin gives you Fus Ro Dah, which stuns all foes but makes you lose the damage and evade bonus. ( ´ ▽ ` )


Unless you are doing one of the builds who specifically benefit from it, no point in having it in the title. And considering your signature, you are really not using these particular builds. (o´∀`o)

It always bamboozles me a lot when I see proper English from you.

And yes that's true, this verse is quite addictive, but I can only play TT&T, EoD, to kill a god, and new wings, plus 3 first level of Arena. And addition is I can play several RE. All in 12 hours because I'm working... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

When you're strong enough, maybe you can do it like RoadShoe. A full PFest in 30 mins.

Wow.., I never thought I'll gonna be that strong because I'm doing tt&t right now on iwbth but still need 30-40mins. Because I'm playing on my phablet so I can't use the script.

And since the thread is "ask the expert", I have some questions for all/some expert HV player with level above 4xx about 1H-melee and magus/witch, which one is :

01. The most expensive? (It feels like I know the answer)
02. The fastest to complete arenas?
03. Give you more fun, because the essential part of this game is for fun and killing boredom.

I know I don't have much credit (and I "struggle" for it) to be a magus because my legendary class cloth and staff are few and it's gonna be long journey to be a magus. Right now I'm on 1H-melee rapier+shield.

Thank you

no. it's clearly hinted in wiki and settings page. as for the reasoon, admin considered to do that for balance reasons, back then.

Hopefully (◕‿◕) TenB will find it on his heart to rebalance back and let Dohvakiin retain at least some Damage/Evade.
It is somewhat imperative that the light builds get some sort of buff. When you have trouble choosing what is more efficient is when something really is balanced ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶.

It always bamboozles me a lot when I see proper English from you.

as put-in (*/▽＼*)of said, when powerlevels grows too much ppl in black suits appear (*ﾉ▽ﾉ)
is four the goodwills of the ppl tho' (＠＾◡＾) education 4 tha community (specially to avoid misunderstandings by the non-primarily english speakers)

When you're strong enough, maybe you can do it like RoadShoe. A full PFest in 30 mins.

hopefully (◕‿◕) all the ppl can do pee-fuuuuuuu-door party in 30min someday
of course hopefully (◕‿◕) TenB will find it on his heart to nerf mage someday too

Wow.., I never thought I'll gonna be that strong because I'm doing tt&t right now on iwbth but still need 30-40mins. Because I'm playing on my phablet so I can't use the script.

Are you really sure of this? ╮(︶▽︶)╭ Because as far as I know you can monsterbate on android too.

01. The most expensive? (It feels like I know the answer)
03. Give you more fun, because the essential part of this game is for fun and killing boredom.

1. If you are patient you will get Charged Fire or Ice pieces and forge them to 5 for less than the price that similar ranged (comparing EDB and ADB) Legendary Power of Slaughter often reach.
3. Listen to your heart (´• ω •`) ♡

Is Resplendent Regeneration worth it or is there better Hath perks around the same price?

Currently have Postage Paid and Innate Arcana 1/2

for all questions is one answer - charged holy mage

What's the best way of spending Chaos Tokens? Just focusing on buying more monster slots or just leveling up what I have?

1. Mage ofc.
2. Mage, by a landslide. A decent mage with some minor forging is 2x faster than the best 1H build in arenas.
3. Some random build. Mage with heavy armor, 2H with cloth, etc...

You should go 1H until you feel you can easily get several M a month to go mage.

Wow.., it's all about mage, it seems like I have to play more for credits to create a mage from 0. Because when I see auctions, the staff and cloth stuff always got the tag "XX million"...

I believe that a mage build that rely itself on doing enough melee damage to fire OFC is indeed a super expensive build

Greetings, Experts. On equips. > Exquisite (esp. where catalysts are > 1000c or where Rare Materials are required)

is there a point at which the Experts would place a cap on upgrades based on cost vs. gains (or perhaps other factors

not considered here)? For now, let's leave bindings out of the question (or not?). Thank you.

Hmm... in late game what build do you think can clear arena or IW from fastest to the slowest?
I mean 2H supposed to be the highest dmg among melee build, but it seems like people doesn't even use that at high level too.


Now the second question is, what's the deciding factor in choosing the best equipment for very late game?
I've seen the guide thread, read about equipment range (even though I'm not fully sure how to calculate that) but some equipment is just more expensive for some reason.

mmm...

I don't know how I can help that much but with your level I can suggest you to use 1hand + shield, because you get block, parry, and evade, if you use 2h you only get parry and evade (means 0 defense). I almost gave up on playing HV because I used niten ichiryu and I got defeated alot. I preferred rapier+shield. As the experts recommended, you should buy slaughter/balance weapon and force shield.

Thank you

I heard mage is the fastest in arenas especially holy but costs much a lot than elemental and even elemental costs a lot
and 2h may be the slowest in SG but can be faster than 1h below 200 arenas. In SG arenas you spent most time on SG and one powerful shot is more efficient than AOE. 1H rapier is good because can maintain spirit stance, has PA, and vital strike is powerful plus high block:)

For equip price, most weapons, good prefix and slaughter suffix(for main hand) are first, then high adb is second.
For rapier, PA percent and parry also important.
For 2H most prefer ethreal prefix due to high burden. For shield high blk is all.
rapier and wakizashi for offhand could be balance or nimble

For mage, staffs leg quality, proper prefix and suffix are must, then mdb first, edb second
phase also proper suffix and if has radiant or charge prefix its price skyrocket. for stats edb first int wis second
for cotton prof is all

All these can be learn through whatching auctions, WTS, and etc

Have a question about fire and cold mage
Do they have enough deprecating prof that can hit most imperil?
It seems like redwood has much lower deprecating prof and doesn't have counter-resist:(
And for elec and wind, do they hit most imperil?

Fastest to slowest:

1. The best mages with all the bells and whistles. Holy probably the fastest among those.
2. Various mage builds, with Holy again being supposedly the fastest. This time without all the bells and whistles, but still probably a huge investment in upgrades and things.
3. Somewhat large gap. Then 1h with ideal gear, upgrades, and so on.
4. Possibly faster or slower than 1h, but less data to work with. Various other melee builds, also ideal or close to it.
5. "Weird" builds, but with the best stuff for them.
6. 1h/other melee builds with somewhat subpar stuff, but not trash.
7. Trash 1h build. One of the reasons it is so advised is that it works with less gear than other builds.
8. Other builds, including mages, with too bad of equipment to actually be trying and really should be doing lower difficulties.

Question 2: Other melee builds besides 1h have very little data, because so many people just advise 1h, and that has made a huge impact on the culture and economy of the game. You'll find buyers for 1h gear because of it. So people sell 1h gear. You don't find buyers for 2h gear, so people don't sell it. So if you want 2h gear, you have to get it from your own drops mostly.

2h is also a lot more offense, a lot less defense. 1h gets a lot of defense from that shield, and rapiers give a nice chunk of parry. Longswords and Estocs don't. Mace is a somewhat interesting defensive 2h build, but again not many people do it (Sickentide is one notable exception).

Question actually three:
Depends on your build.

If 1h, then rapier is considered by most the best weapon to use. There are very good reasons for that. It is a heavily tested build, and rapiers give good results. You primarily want damage and parry stat. Most people heavily favor damage. So a Rapier with holy/dark prefix and slaughter suffix, with high ADB% (and good parry is a tiebreaker). Just to be clear, the rapier is the biggest offensive choice and comes with a lot of defensive benefits too. Axes, for example, have more raw damage, but the Penetrated Armor proc of the Rapier makes them do way more in most situations.

Shield: high block% force shield. Force shields have the most block%, and that is primarily what your off-hand slot is for. It raises your survivability and offense (through Counters). From there, STR, DEX, and END PABs as a tiebreaker. Because those stats matter for 1h, and AGI doesn't. Prefix and suffix kinda sorta matter, but not really. None of them meaningfully increase offense, and none make a huge difference in survivability for what is already a rather tanky build.

Savage power armor of slaughter. Because the overall build is tanky enough to not rely on "of protection" or other defensive suffixes. Upgrading physical mitigation will be enough. Savage prefix and Slaughter suffix give the most damage.

That's what the end-game 1h build looks like.

A lot of that is not ideal for a mid-game player. Unlike other games, you will be giving yourself problems if you try to copy the end-game build, and don't actually use good equipment to stepping stone your way up. Gear is fluid, and will change over time. Attempting to skip the middle will just harm you and prevent you from increasing your income to afford better gear.

If mage: raise damage. High MDB, high EDB, high proff to negate resists. After that, some defensive considerations such as charged prefixes for casting speed, juggernaut potencies for HP, AGI and evade on gear for dodginess, and so on. Nuke everything before it touches you, then worry about softening the touches of whatever manages to live.

Other builds: fewer data to work with. In general, Savage Shade Armor of the Shadowdancer with high ADB%, and Ethereal weapons of Slaughter with high ADB%.

Noticing a trend yet? Damage is king. The end-game is less about efficiency, and more about "get all the damage."

Also, about ADB%, ranges, and so on. It works like this:
Lets say "super cool weapon of stabbyiness" drops after you kill something. It is legendary. You look up "Legendary super cool weapon of stabbyness." You find in the wiki that the minimum base ADB for that is 10. You also see in the next column over, that the maximum is 15. The one you got is:
A) 10. This is 0% on the ADB% scale.
B) 15. This is 100% on the ADB% scale.
C) 12. This is above 0%, below 100%. It is somewhere in the middle-ish of that scale. Let's look below at the math on how to figure it out.

15 (max) subtract 10 (min) gives you 5. Your scale includes all numbers between the min and max, and there are 6 whole numbers possible (because we start counting from 0, not 1). 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. If 10 is 0%, and 15 is 100% on this number line, you can also imagine where 50% is. Right between 12 and 13.

If you go back and look at Scremaz's formula, you see how you can translate this into a percent. You just put the numbers in, do the subtraction and division, and you get the answer. The percent is just an easy way to describe how far along this scale your particular Super cool weapon of stabbyness is. And people like more damage. So weapons of stabbyness with higher damage are worth more.

That's honestly way too complicated and specific a question for anyone to answer. You have to figure that one out for yourself through playing. How much you earn, how much upgrades will help you, and how expensive they are is pretty much the meat of the game.

You can somewhat get an idea of how things like Quartermaster Ability or Crystarium Hath Perk act as a "invest now, return on investment (ROI) in X time.

Gear is such a fluid thing though. You get upgrades by acquiring new pieces of gear. Some you soulfuse, some you sell. When you upgrade, can you get your eventual buyer to pay for those upgrades along with the price of the gear itself, or will you end up salvaging it to recoup 90% of those materials to use on the next piece of gear?

Upgrading solidifies some of your assets, but doesn't eliminate them entirely.

Can't send an equip through MM and can't bazaar it even though it's tradeable, unlocked and unsoulfused? It also doesn't show up on the list of your equipments when you're going to attach it on MM or Bazaar but still shows up when you vising your Equipment Inventory and can still equip it.
