Okay.
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.

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.

+1
Different potencies for different style...

1h : Fat-butt.. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
DW : ??

DW : ??

Iirc you want a mix between Over Fat and But. But Over is totaly useless for 1H and therefore just a waste of potencies.

But Over is totaly useless for 1H

Useless during those 7% of the time when you have 5 stacks of overwhelming strikes = totally useless?

edit: 7% might be a mitake in calculations: it should be more than that

I have never even once seen a monster evade or parry a single attack for years now = yes, absolute without any use!

Is end game mage build 5 prof?

Also is there a way to speed up other than using the alt, iron and different font?

no. It's 4 phase +1 cotton for elemental with willow, or elemental with redwood can even go 5 phases. And for dark / holy it's 3 phase + 2 cotton. Please read the wiki advice advanced (link in my sig)

I want to with go 1H. Main hand: Magnificent Rapier of Slaughter. Off hand: Magnificent Reinforced Buckler of the Barrier. Thoughts?

good starting pieces. Then save money and look for legendary.

Thanks, DJ. Btw, this just dropped: Legendary Cobalt Power Helmet of Slaughter. I guess the system was paying attention. Go figure.

Congrats! That's an end-game piece!

Good starter, way way better than mine when i strated play 1h. Like DJNoni said save your credits and buy Legendary rapier of slaughter (with good ADB of course) and Legendary force ahield (with good BLK) and then when you have more, go for full slaughter like i said before..

That slaughter helmet is good, very good i think (even though the PAB 0%, who cares..). End game piece? Maybe.. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) like my "body", i got it from drop, end game piece? Maybe, i don't know because adb is low and the rolls are not that good. But i got no much credits to replace it, so.......................
