It's true that when it comes to use consummables, it tends to slow down quite a lot. When I rush Hard Arena with my stick, I still get around 3tps though. Maybe 2.8/2.9.

And let's not talk about things that are forbidden, it might give ideas.

I had to do this a few months ago. Imo playing HV on your phone is just terrible. Never again. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

on the subject of efficient curing, casting cure automatically whenever HP are low is explicitly forbidden, but you can streamline the process of choosing to cure manually:

with the default settings, instead of curing reactively when your HP are in the red, you can tap Alt to quickly cure preemptively as soon as you see your HP dipping close to the threshold

in deep IW or GF you may even hold down Alt to cure whenever possible: putting spells in a rotation to cast whenever they are off cooldown is allowed, and you are still manually choosing to activate the cure rotation

As a side note, battlecaster is only really useful in 1h mage - slaughter is the suffix you want for standard 1h heavy (balance and nimble can be useful at lower levels).

of course I know the first one,
but as poor 1H power player as me, the Battlecaster can save me many mana, to have batter Buff/Debuff withour using Mana Elixir.
so It can help me save a lot of credits and a little of time. in fact right now I'm using Illithid Rapier, surprisingly a litter faster then my last low quality Slaughter rapier

As a experient 1H player. Just believe when i tell you. There will come a time, when you need only so many mana draught, that you could without problem even support multiple mages with your mana drops. You dont want and you dont need any battlecaster. Please just trust me with that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

What are you doing to need mana elixirs when using 1H?
That's pretty strange, even with a force shield (and I would honestly use a buckler of the barrier if that is the case) you would need to cast a lot to force you to use mana elixirs.

I guess he dont have any auto cast and does use a lot of deprecating and support speels. Together with his still quite low level would explain why he does feel the need of battlecaster.

Apart from Heartseeker, Regen and Imperil (and the normally autocasted spark and spirit shield and possibly protection, which are anyway all quite cheap) which other spells are useful for a 1H build (for arenas at least, fests or IW are another matter)?
I don't think that those three are enough to get to elixirs, so I asked.

Well some player at his level use additional support spells like haste and SV just to be able to play on PFUDOR. And he could also use weak and blind and when he get hit hard quite often there is also the need of curse. I dont know for sure of course, but that is what i can imagen.

Well, at his level he would probably benefit from moving away at least from SV.
If we at least know what he is doing and have a look of what equipments he uses we can suggest some solutions to the mana problem (maybe saving credits for a better shield -> no more need for SV and less cures -> less mana usage -> slaughter rapier -> big boost in speed).

Yeah, right. The equipment, i even forgot about that. Using higher tier does also help to reduce your mana usage. I still remember the different when i switched my partial Exq set for a full mag set. That was really great. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

As personal anecdote from someone around the same level, I use maybe 10 mqna draughts or so in pfudor DwD (and most are due to regen that I can probably save on if I use more health draughts). Maybe 15 if I imperil a bit more.

Is mainhand shortsword + offhand rapier a good DW combination if you have good survivability and like using spells? Why or why not? How does it compare to club/axe+rapier and rapier+waki?

Not fully sure but don't rapiers and shortswords have similar adb and parry ranges? In that case wouldn't rapier mainhand be better for higher PA chance? (Assuming mainhand slaughter and off-hand balance or nimble). I would think waki would be better as offhand compared to shortsword in that case though. So shortsword + rapier < rapier + shortsword < rapier + waki.

So shortsword + rapier < rapier + shortsword < rapier + waki.

I'm probably even less sure, since I haven't installed a percentile range script yet (I'll do that today) but shortswords seem to have much higher ADB than rapiers... and more importantly, they're cheaper and in less demand, so I could get a high quality shortsword with a nice ADB even when a decent rapier of slaughter is like a pie in the sky. For example, this shortsword on decondelite's WTS for 10k https://hentaiverse.org/equip/144470092/d3c024fdfb has about 1.5x the ADB of the rapier I'm currently using.

I feel like higher levels tend to wonder why the heck players aren't using BIS peerless sets... I couldn't even cobble together a Superior power armor set at <250. You have to consider cost effectiveness.

Why would you choose shortsword. One advantage of DW is having two Procs. Bleeding is quite useless in the current meta.
Why use spells frequently. Melees are meant to be simple hover.
Rapier+waki has the best survivability, but very low damage. It's for low-level players.
Club+rapier of balance is the best offensive combo, since stuns prevent parries from monsters. You don't gain too much extra damage if you replace a club with an axe. No you do more damage with club since your attacked get less parried.

Edit: Nah you are right about it. Go for your own play style. Meanwhile, as you level up, you will understand how safe and easy melees clear Arenas. Then you would ppl give up most spells in order to speed up.
