[X] My Assistant

Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.

So I have made 3 monsters so far, one is lvl 202 and has been around for weeks now. My issue is is that none of them have been in any fights yet, I've gotten a few gifts so far, but fight won/lost still read zero. Am I doing something wrong or is this a common thing?

Nope. This is the right place, so not need to be sorry. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Oh, dont worry. I am sure they have been in fights allready. You just have to keep in mind. With such a still quite low PL they dont appear for many players and there are a lot of monsters out there. Also people dont die that often. I mean just look at yourself, how often do you get killed by the monsters of others? I hope only rarely as it should be. And that is the point. They only get a Battle Won when they appear in a round and the player does not finish that round for whatever reason. He did flee, or got killed by another monster. And when a monster is able to kill a player, it get a Killing Blow. So there is no lost count for your monster at all. And yes, it is totaly normal dont have much of them unless your monster has a really high PL and has been around since a long time. Just as a example my biggest and oldest monster has right now Battles Won 745 and Killing Blows 104. But he has PL 1311 and has beend around for years. So, just create monster feed them with crystals as you can and their numbers will rise. Just give them some time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

That shield in lottery looks pretty nice, what's the ideal prefix/suffix for force shields?

Imo prefix anything but zircon. Suffix imo Warding or Protection. But i guess most people would disagree and the last one and just say protection.

Btw even when it was not the question. In the end i would take any shield that is SDE and has 100% block. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Basically what I was thinking, but if people were like min-maxing or whatever it's called in HV, just trying to be the best of the best.

Tbh when we are talking about Peer Force shield with SDE there is imo not that much different no matter the suffix/prefix.

Best suffix, SDE, who cares about the prefix at that point?
I usually don't do it, but this time I'm kicking in. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Out of curiosity, why not Zircon? Though I also put in tickets for that shield.

Yes, best prefix for a force shield is either Zircon, Onyx or Ruby.

I want to ask why is Zircon good. Only the Celestials can have two Skills with Holy. The second Skill must be Holy. The third Skill can be holy or void, is holy here better than void?

Better ask the other way around: if it's not Zircon, what else can be it be, and what monsters can use such elements?
Answer: Onyx can be useful against Daimons (IF they chose Dark and not Void) and Undeads, Ruby against Dragonkins, and the rest... merely a few sprites 2nd MP attack, elementals and humanoids.

OK, that makes a very very big Difference.

Tbh, because i did mixed it up with Jade. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah, almost no difference at all. That's why I said we don't care the prefix at that point. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Looking to understand the difference between wakis and rapiers in regards to a 1h build.

Everyone preaches the rapier, but wakis tend to have higher base parry chances, don't they? Is there another reason that rapiers are gospel vs. wakis in these builds?

Rapier have PA. Wakis not. And having a high parry on your rapier is a nice bonus, but no one should prefer high parry above PA or Damage. If you want to use a waki try a DW build. A nice waki of nimble is a great off-hand.

Is it worth it to use the stronger spells like Storms of Njord and Downburst against five or fewer enemies?

I thought as a mage you allways use the strongest spells to one hit every single round. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

They do more damage and time-money wise mana consumption is not important, so yes (that's why economizer potency isn't popular)
