What potencies is good for 1H and 2H weapons?
I intend to do IW but I can't kill more than 6 monsters with 1H on IWBTH/PFUDOR. I can do the last 3 arenas with PFUDOR because I have OFC and the arena have boss, but others arena is very hard for 1H. What should I use to pass other arenas? I'm currently using basic power set for 1H.

What kind of shield do you use? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Currently, I'm using this:

Hmm 1H is considered of best survivability in right now. Two things I can think of:

1. Equipments level are way too behind.
2. You recently switched to 1H style, therefore you have low proficiency to gain stats from abilities.

All gear is above lv 270, except the leg lv 217

on lvl 305? isn't that a bit too underleveled?

Something about those stats doesn't look quite right. I play a goofy unoptimized 1H/Light build, and while your attack base is far beter than mine, your defenses are consierably worse than mine, and that's without including the 0% Evade.

Are you soulbinding and/or upgrading your armor stats?

actually 1h-heavy tend to have low to zero evade anyway, as their equipments have no evade bonus and the burden would diminish any native evade from agi, so it's not surprising that he have 0 evade.

the problem is on block/parry chance 45.7 and 35.4 is pretty low for survivability.

we need to take a closer look on his weapon and shield.

edit: looking at my old equip, it's not that surprising, I just realize that he wield an exquisite rapier...
edit 2: after scrolling up a few, yeah, the shield is actually pretty good albeit not upgraded nor soulfused.

trying to answer previous question : preferred potencies for rapier for 1h-heavy weapon last time I know is butcher-fatality. for dw/niten might be a bit different as you don't get the counter parry from the overwhelming strike

Would that be an exception? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Not long ago this type of equipment would not sell for less than 1m.

All last auctions feature slaughters for ~500k and lower, and that's been true for at least half a year (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

But in my case, this type of equipment is not worth the investment, even if it were little. If so I'd rather stay with my Balance (94%~99%) and Protection (all Peerless) sets. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It's ok to use any equipment you like, it just considerably less adb > slower. If price and survival is your meta too why do you overpaying when leather is almost free?

Guys, keep it friendly, please. And let's end this discussion, all has been said.

True, some people just don't listen (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I looked at the outcome of several auctions and realized that this is almost true. In fact the results were quite varied. It all depends on the dispute. It had equipment with less than 50% sold for more than 1m, and with more than 50% sold for less than 500k.

I also realized that above 70~75% prices start firing.

It might be safer to say that with up to 5m a person can get a full set Slaughter with reasonable %ADB.

Is it possible to survive using leather? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Someday I'll find that out. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

My problem is neither price nor survival. The main issue is that I always wanted to have definitive sets, without having to constantly change the pieces for better ones (unless it is for a Peerless (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) ). It's just a personal desire (or dream). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

An average time lapse of any set being "definitive" is one or two HV patches. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well, we all take that risk. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) But until that does not happen, I'll keep trying. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I believe positive L adb is good enough since even min L slaughter adb is better than other P, and P slaughter as high end definitive set is too rare drop/costly buy.

My problem is prof gain - even 10 points under lvl it's around half point per day unless I want to spend tens of millions or 3 extra hours per day (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

True! I have a "Peerless" power armor that has lower attack than current legendaries... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

unassigned non-slaughter, i guess?

I dont think so. Last time we had non-retroactive equipment changes was on 0.82, which was over 3 years ago.

Also I doubt any equipment changes will happen on the near future.

i missed some of this melee justice (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

My set to play a brutal, ruthless 2H is almost finished. I'm only lacking boots and a few levels. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I'm only lacking boots

black or brown? ankle, knee or thighboots?

black or brown? ankle, knee or thighboots?

got any brown high-heels of slaughter?

anyway, why .80 prof for non imperil mage? is there any math explanation for this?

For non-imperil you want 1.0 prof factor, since your only mitigation reduction comes from prof and 1.0 is the cap. At 1.0, you have 50% mitigation reduction, which means the highest possible mitigation a monster can have against your element is 25% (75-50=25).

For imperil style holy/dark I think .80 prof factor is basically the same as .68 prof factor for elemental, since holy/dark imperil is worse than elemental imperil (-25% mitigation vs -40% mitigation).

oh, yeah, I meant imperil dark mage, pardon me for a bit drunk here.

anyway, still dark mage, how about 1.0 prof factor + imperil? is the imperil redundant or actually work but simply not too efficient?
