I wonder if I should redo the IW aiming for penetrator...

also, current stats below. dark CR was 75.5% on last weapon but even without the penetrator on this new weapon, the clear time is already shafted by almost 10%, so I don't know if the penetrator is needed.
on the other hand if I redo it, not having economizer is only means more mana potion drink, right?

You will always benefit from pen5. I would reforge if I wouldn't first have pen5. Then for dark, I still use spel4, but I would have accepted some arch or even annihilator atm.

wait, archmage is bellow spelweaver?

Usually mages have more problems with survivability so it's like charged and radiant, but slightly better for destruction types.

If you only play Arena I think that Archmage and Economizer can be better als Spellweaver.

Loving the orbital friendship cannon! Since I need to have 21 figurines in order to use it, should I sell any unneeded figurines or should I shrine them in the hopes of getting a good binding and high-grade?

Should I invest in purchasing more or should I just for the binding directly?

Also, is there a way for me to update my 'shop' forum so that it is seen on the front page of the listings? I make edits to my original post that list the items and how much I have on hand, but it doesn't update the thread.

and spelweaver + penetrator is better for grindfest?

depend if you're feeling lucky, I shrine them instead of selling, just like how I shrine PA instead of selling it.

the one is random, the other is guaranteed, I 'll choose buying binding directly.

you bump it up by posting on it once, just limit the bump to once per 24 hour (I think that's the rules)

Hello experts!

Can someone explain to me why some users leave their staves only to iw9 (instead of iw10/Hollowforged)?

What is the criteria to decide between iw9 or iw10?

Thanks for the answers. c:

Thanks for the answers. c:

IW 10 will be 'hollowforged' which is useless for mage. It will give void strike when whacking a monster over the head with your staff. We don't do that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
From 9 to 10 can be a real pain. I didn't do 9 to 10 with IW but it happened by forging. And some have the (idle) hope that tenboro will leave current IW as it is and just add a usefull 10th potency for staff. Very, very unlikely. He already hinted otherwise.

there's no point on getting holowforged on staff as you won't use it to smack things and the only thing hollowforged gives is void strike.

Ok~ thanks for your answers. I somehow had the idea that hollowforge would give a different benefit to staves, something related to magic attacks instead of physical ones. How wrong I was. >.>

It logically should, but it won't. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

and spelweaver + penetrator is better for grindfest?

yes.

arena →pen5+arch4
gf →pen5 +spe4

This is just my personal opinion,
i think this is the best.

What you say makes the most sense. SG arenas consist of enemies with a ton of HP, so you want the arch to deal as much damage as possible. On the other hand, enemies in GF have much less HP and the extra damage is often wasted. However, Spe4 reduces the damage you take, which quickly ramps up to a lot, so it helps you out better.

ok thank you.

edit :
I reforge it, trying to get pen-arch, got pen-spell instead. ¯\(ッ)/¯

and boy 81.11% CR looks pretty...

Oh... the horror of multi-element-spell micromanagement...

Anyway,

using the right setup, any T1 spell will deal more damage than whatever bonus damage coming from those -25 elemental mitigation.

which means

1. you don't actually need to care about cool-down by spamming T1 spell while waiting for T2/T3 spell cooldown
2. whatever time spent micromanaging the spell status effect exploit are wasted time compared to watching T1 spell steadily melt the enemies.

but yeah, if that's only for fun, then it's your choice.

Yes, I have mostly cloth with +electrical as Here told me to SPECIALIZE.
I used to have cloth of each element.
However, I'm casting all T3 spells in all elements.
My imperil hit 3 at a time, & Holy w/soul fire & drain works nicely.

As many before have mentioned, if you are having fun with that strategy then obviously no issues. From an efficiency perspective, though, you should know that your tier 1 lightning spells already do more damage than your tier 3 spells in other element at much quicker cast speed and lower mana.

Out of curiosity, what difficulty are you playing at? Even with my 1h mage enemies often die before my t3 comes off cd.

Out of curiosity, why is Light Armor so undesirable at high levels?

Because you use it to play 2H and DW, and those are not the most played at hight levels.

I'm amazed on how many PA I obtained from doing 10IW with a few reforge.
14 from around 30 stamina (1500 ish round I take)

would GF also give equal number of PA drops?

I'm also amazed on how much difference in mana management without the mana conservation bonus.
Changing from focus to destruction I feel that I chug more mana potion than before, but actually the number of item use is relatively lower, it's just that I move so fast that the potion cooldown can't keep up and forced me to use some elixir in the meantime... particularly in no-SG arena.

Is this normal?
