I'm thinking about 1h mage and I do know that I need a battlecaster weapon and buckler of the barrier right?
What kind of armor should I be getting?
How much mp does 1h mage use?
Does it use a lot of mp?

If you only want to play Pfudor Arena, don't use 1H-Mage.
If you want to play 100 Floors Pfudor IW, you can use Battlecaster Weapon and Battlecaster Buckler.
If you want play through Pfudor Fest, you may try Battlecatser Weapon and Barrier Buckler. Using Buckler of Barrier can be safer and save SP Potion, I use Battlecaster Buckler and it costs a lot of SP after 650 and I have to use 4-5 SP Elixir after 800. Yes, Battlecaster Buckler saves a lot of MP, but low SP is dangerous and low MP isn't, you can find your own Balance.

Except the weapon and the shield afaik it should more or less the same as a normal mage.

I'm not interested in playing Pfudor Arena, Pfudor Grindfest or Pfudor Item World yet anyway and I didn't know there was a battlecaster buckler.
Thanks for the info.

So I should use phase or cotton?
Okay.

Well, I only have two Records without using OFC:

This is fine so should I go with full phase or full cotton equipment or neither?

Just do as Uncle says, use a normal Set of Mage, I use my 4 Phase 1 Cotton (Gloves), you can also use Shoes instead.

I tried 1H mage for a while. Full cotton is useless because you get zero damage bonus. 1 piece of cotton + 4 phases worked better for me than full phase, because with full phase you'll get a lot of 90% and 75% resist of your spells on monsters.

I'm still considering not trying 1h mage yet but I will try to find 1 piece of cotton and 4 phases to use.
I hope they won't cost too much but they probably won't.

Correct me if i am wrong. But isnt it more important for a 1H mage to look for equipment that gives your prof? Iirc to compensate for the lack of a staff and by that way the lack of Penetrator? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Why do the most Elemental Mages use 5 Phases before 0.82? Because we don't have enough Damage with those old Equipments, so the Prof Gears don't work as well as it does today, You know, charged Cotton wasn't that popular and expensive at that Time. And now, what lacks the 1H Mage, when we don't use a Staff? Yes, base Damage. That's also why 1H Mage must use Imperil, no Imperil no Damage. So I recommand 4+1, which can be used both for Staff and 1H.

For Counter-Resist, if Imperil fails, it's not dangerous for 1H Mage, just cast it again. For offensive Spells, we use Elec to increase decrease the Counter-Resist of Monsters.

You shouldn't try 1H mage yet, because you need 0 turn cooldown Faster Imperil, which can be maxed at level 310.
But you can use spells as 1h to increase proficiency while you level up.

I'll wait until I get to level 310 or later.
I have been increasing my proficiencies for several years now.
Thanks for the info.

Greetings, Experts; If combining power with other non-power heavy armor types, what

would the Experts want to take into consideration? Any suggestions for optimal combos?

Edit: I fight melee and have never used heavy before, but want to give it a try.

For a start I have:

Magnificent Ruby Plate Helmet of Dampening

Legendary Cobalt Power Helmet of Slaughter (edit/new drop)

Magnificent Power Armor of Protection

Magnificent Power Gauntlets of Warding

personally i'd only consider max 1 shielding in a build.

I dont know what you wanna hear. Your edit dont really contains a question. I mean when this is all you have will answer not transform in something better.

But i will just give you some general advice from my opinion.

Most people prefer protection above Warding. Personaly i prefer at least one piece of warding. Get a Rapier. The most important starts here in this order Damage, Parry and everythingelse. Get a force shield. For your first shield i would suggest just take any with high block, even an SDA or something similiar. For you it is not too important for the beginning, but for optimisation you should get your attack speed bonus to 0%. But that is not a high priority. A little reminder haste gives your a 25% bonus, but if it really helps you survive, dont be affraid to use it until you are stronger, but if you dont need it to survive, dont use it. The same goes for SV. In an optimal build you dont want evade, because it counters your block chance and by that reduce your damage output.

Optimal combo for 1h-heavy : Mag/Leg rapier of Slaughter + Mag/Leg Force shield (60%+ BLK) + all Mag/Leg heavy power (for starter buy Protection and Warding suffix and mixed them in a set (like mine), if you have enough prof/level/credits go for all Legendary Slaughter and full forge them)

Hello, mein Onkel. Yes, I see what you mean. What heavy I have were drops. So perhaps I should

have asked what would be best to look for, in addition to what I already have. I fight both 1H and

DW, so I have both sword and shield to round out the deal. Thanks, your advice is appreciated.

Thanx, igs88. Solid advice.

I fight both 1H and[/left][left]DW, so I have both sword and shield to round out the deal.

But you know that what sort of IW you want for a weapon is different between DW and 1H? Yeah, you could use a weapon for both styles, but that wont be something i would ever suggest.
