Shield question again. Should I replace my current shield with this one? It has a little less block, but it's SDE instead of SDA (with higher stats of 'em as well) plus much more MMI with almost no loss of PMI (-0.1% in shields' current states).

Have two power warding equipment currently, and I would like to switch one for power of protection. Which of the two is a better candidate? For either option, what's the threshold of improvement that would justify a replacement? (specific ADB or other stats)

Legendary Amber Power Armor of Warding

Legendary Mithril Power Boots of Warding

I would replace the Mithril Boots because of mithril.

How does Imperil and penetrated armor work? And does it stack when I'm using rapier?

Imperil reduces physical and magical mitigation as well as elemental mitigations. But be aware this does not include dark and holy. If you use one of those you should get the corresponding ability dark and/or holy imperil.
Penetrated armor does decrease the monster physical mitigation for 25% for each stack. And PA alone can be stacked three times so it can at max recudes the physical mitigation of a monster down to 25%.

When you wrote a little less block a thought about something like 65 to 61. And that chase the answer would be an easy yes. But 73% to 57%? Tough question but i would say, yes do it.

How's the IW on [alt.hentaiverse.org] This shit?

I was hoping for one more Fatality or 5 butcher but OP is important since no stun. What do you guys think?

And I will be getting it to 10, I don't really care about elemental strike that much so if it's not holy or dark it's not like I'll reset it.

That depends. Is this for DW or 1H?

DW Mainhand, yeah.

Overpower is supposed to be the best potency for non-club DW by a wide margin, so why not keep it?

Is there a certain prof factor you can reach with Deprecating magic to guarantee your Imperil never gets resisted?

DW Mainhand, yeah.

For DW i would keep it.

I guess you mean as a non mage? Tbh i doubt there is one you could ever reach without reaching Lvl 500 first.

And I got Holy Strike on it, nice.

what's the loss on block from your char stats? i guess something like 0.5 or less, right?

looks solid.

knowing that people purchase the deprecating prof perk, i guess the usual 1.0 rule applies

It was small for sure, plus I've already fixed it by forging. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

P.S.: there is a package in your MoogleMail waiting for you, btw. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

oh, looks like there's a package in my Moogle! how did you know it? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

I often did wonder if that one would be even worth it. Still not sure about it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

if you ask me, with all that mages spend in terms of gears, perks, time, efforts and such to *make so* their stuff work, it'd be a real mock if that didn't work. basically, they make it work by force.

as for whether it's worth it, well... no clue.

Well tbh i am just curious if it would make a difference for non mage players. Because i just have my deprecating five level above my level and imo that is actually enough to play any SG Arena smooth. It is still quite a work to hit those damned dragons from DwD but except that i am actually just fine. So my guess is that it is just not worth it for non mage player. But of course i cant be sure. Could even be enough to save one a minute or two for clearing DwD. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Hm, have to test that later.

I have 44% depre counter resist and don't even bother imperil those dragons.
It's not like they hit that hard even for nonforged-equiped mage standard. at worst I take another minute or two to kill them and have to chug one more mana potion to kill the bastards.
but yeah, if you simply wants to shave that 1-2 minutes from your clear time... that's different question.

Yeah? Well good for you mage. Just what should that tell me? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) That mages dont have any problem hitting with spells? As if that would be any suprise. Or do you actually read in my post that those dragons would be a threat to me? It is just that i cont even remember when beating DwD at all was a problem to me. So i am really quite confused about your post. Mind to explain it to me?

whoa whoa, slow down uncle, what's with the hostility.
you said that "it's quite a work to hit them (imperil them I guess in this context) using depre prof 5 level above your level". and I just wants to say that even with 44% depre CR (~0.3 depre prof factor) I don't bother trying to imperil those dragons on dwd as it's still a problem hitting them sometimes and the hassle for managing the imperil for them is worse than letting the mouse hovering for another extra one or two minutes (and occasionally extra button pressing for the mana potion).

Ehm. What? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Oh, well in that case i just misunderstood your post. Well, imperil on drogon or not means for me something around 10 rounds more or less. No, big deal but still. But it doesnt mean one or two minutes difference. So i wonder, how could it mean that for mages? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
