Magiclamp, are you a mage? Cuz that all sounds like it sucks LOL

I play 1H with imperil, and even the last rounds of PFDWD (3 SG's, bunch of monsters) I imperil the field in 3-4 turns. 5 if I'm unlucky. I honestly can't recall the last time it took me 9 turns to imperil a 9+ monster round. Whats your prof at?

Haha, just starting my foray into 1h mage, which is mage without a staff so loses a bunch of profs and accuracy. My deprecating prof's not even that bad (398), but there were a few times where I couldn't imperil a monster after 2-3 attempts, which makes it easy to go 8-9 turns on a 10 monster round (since I may miss 1-2 times on another batch of imperil). I do get 3-4 turns full field imperils too, but 5 is probably average T.T

Right. You don't have deprecating profs from the staff. That's the downside of new 1h mage. Even I fail many imperils in PFDfest. or your deprecating prof's too low. Also you should buy the deprecating perk if you haven't yet.
For another is maybe you didn't set up your monsterbation properly. If you use shift hover to imperil, you would fuck up. Bind with a key to cast imperil on a specific monster.

Yeah, definitely will get the deprecating perk next. And I do need to set up monsterbation correctly - now I'm actually clicking imperil and then number pad, which isn't too prone to errors but is a bit slow.

Dep perk might not be the best investment if you plan to play mage or don't have DD, also there is shift+hover for imperil (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

If players could stop comparing each other while they have 30 levels difference or more, that'd be great.

Is there data of how often the Riddlemaster appears and what the drop rate of gems is?

Not for the riddle master, or at least not that i would be aware of but for the gems you can find in the wiki this.

During a battle round any defeated monster has a ~4% chance of dropping a powerup. These powerups are automatically slotted in the "P" item slot of the player's inventory. Players can only have one powerup at a time and cannot receive a new one until the current one is used. They persist between rounds of a battle but are lost at the end of a battle series, essentially making them temporary items.

When you upgrade an item's stat that is further boosted by IW, does the upgrade only apply to the original or both? E.g. a willow staff has 10% counter-resist and you give it Pen5. If you upgrade its CR by 50%, is it +5% or +15%?

Iirc the bonus from IW comes last. Also what percentaces do you now actually mean? Because upgrades mean less and less the higher the upgrade is.

You can't upgrade Counter-Resist.

Is a Waki of Swiftness useful for Niten or DW ? Should I pair it with a Rapier or something else ?

I would prioritize Balance or Nimble as opposed to swiftness.

I've recently got a Leg. Ethereal Club of Balance, I was thinking of using it as main hand in DW, with the Leg. Fiery Waki of Swiftness in offhand, since it has good stats overall, nice parry on top of attack speed ...

In wiki, it is written that

499? Gifts may now include High-Grade materials

Does here "?" represent that it is not confirmed!

Something like that. But even if it actually starts at 499, it would maybe mean one HG Mat every two or three months, so going beyond 500 is adviced.

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.

T3 Wrath of Thor hits for AVERAGE of 25000 elec damage
T2 Chained Lightning hits for AVERAGE of 18000 elec damage
T1 Shockblast hits for AVERAGE of 12000 elec damage
T3 Flame, Cold, Wind blasts for AVERAGE of 15000 fire damage
T3 Paradise Lost hits for AVERAGE of 15000 holy damage
T3 Ragnarok hits for AVERAGE of 15000 dark damage
+15% Damage to afflicted (Breached Defense, Burning Soul, Deep Burns, etc...)
-You drain 45 points of mana
-You drain 783 points of health
-Vital Theft hits for 436 damage.

So yes T1 Shockblast being < 1/3 the mana but only 5 targets is good for spamming.

this is 20 round run average equip IW on IWBTH difficulty, using same weapon and equip, same ability setup, the only difference is the first one using exclusively Elec spell (because the equip is an elec mage equip)
I simply change the spell rotation.

Elec spell rotation is using highest tier possible whenever available.
Rainbow spell rotation = wrath of thor - flames of loki - fimbulbetr - storms of njord (actually, tier them as tier 4-3-2-1 and use the highest tier available, but it should generally follow the rotation - except when there's some break from the rotation due to using healing spell or using items/gems)

Elec exclusive :


rainbow :


The 1 element exclusive took 366 turn, while the rainbow one took 405 turn, that's 10% increase in time. and I believe that difference will only increase the better your equip for the specialized element is, the higher difficulty is, and the longer the round are. for example, here's the same IW run using dark element, using better dark mage armor and exclusively using dark spell.

but yeah, sure, if you're happy with your playstyle, don't make me stop you.

Should I try this shield instead of my current one? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Wow, that's a detailed analysis. THANKS
If only MS updates could be half as through, maybe the 5 computers I've had to reinstall windows for friends because MS updates corrupts the SFC database! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) BTW: I in favor a 30 year pain and suffering class action suite against MS. Who's with me? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyway, nice scripts, I hope that was a 400 round battle script too.
I haven't done "A Dance with Dragons" because it takes 150 rounds. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Someday I'll read the scripts to make sure their aren't any extra-wares in them & then use them.
But as I've said before my "No-Script" Add-On won't be happy with me. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
