QUOTE(Uncle Stu @ Oct 25 2018, 17:21)  I see. So how does this actual looks like anyway? I mean using vase gum. Because i cant see it as anything but burning money to use as 1H, i have never actually tought about it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) What it looks like? Pretty much the same as for 1h, only faster. If you do 2500 turns for PFFEST, you get to see 2 to 3 turns per round. An occasional riddle. And a lot of expiring buffs, some healing.

No, i did mean using the gum vase. So you wait until the last quarter of the fest and just start using them both at the same time or what?

If you want to go for the fastest possible, both gum and vase from round 1. But what I do, is I wait for the last quarter and use one at a time, never both together.

QUOTE(DJNoni @ Oct 25 2018, 05:49)  Hardly improvement, as he was using gum+vase at the time. Dead is dead.
So that means ~2300turns (2.3 turn/round) is the limit (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I just thought if ~2000turns or sth are possible... This post has been edited by Lostwizard: Oct 26 2018, 02:25

Apologies if this has been asked before:
For 1H Rapier + Shield, what is more effective:
Force Shield for max Block at the expense of B/I?
or
Barrier Buckler for lower Block but lower B/I?
Curious if anybody has tried both ways recently to determine.
Thanks
JC

As a low level player I would prefer a Buckler of Barrier or even a regular Buckler, to a Force Shield.
However the higher level you get the cheaper your spells become (mana cost and strength are relatively the same but durations last longer). Interference is supposedly irrelevant on high level players. In that case I suppose a good Force Shield would be both better and much easier to find.

Was there a change for low level players? Because i have never carred about interference. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) The more i even think about it, today low level players can even care less about interference as i could in my time. You will get now everything refreshed between battles, i either had to wait for it to regen between battles, use potion or just go into battle with what i was left from the battle before. Also i was limited to just a few potions i even could take into battle and had even to give it some toughts how to split up those few potions i could get into battle between mana and spirit. And no, you had no place to waste for any health potions. So i really cant see why even low level 1h players would actually care about interference.

Have never even looked at my interference since I've started

Hello, want to ask about equipment comparison, at first I try to compare it my self, usually, I just see who have the bigger number and use that one, but this time I try to use the Live Percentile Ranges script to see the stat better and satisfied my ego but after 30 minute of deep pondering moment staring at the stat percentage I realized something very crucial... I don't know what the hell I'm looking at. my current weapon is this Legendary Ethereal Rapier of SlaughterI'm thinking of using this, it say this one have bigger adb which is good? Legendary Ethereal Rapier of Slaughtermy question is, will there be a significant difference if I soulfuse, item world 10 and upgrade 5 the other one too and then use it? and whos better and why? thank you for lending your time answering this.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) it's 3.62 difference in base adb, pretty noticeable difference, maybe around 50-75 ish ADB at your level (could grow to 150+ on lvl 450+ and lots of ADB upgrades) but I'll use the first one, it already have good IW potency+holy strike, parry-str-dex are miles better than the second one. the higher str and dex will offset small part of the adb loss, plus you'll have better parry.

I've read some posts about what I should have done as a newbie, but I think I did it all wrong. Now, I want to know how can I try to fix it and which are my worst mistakes... Would you help me with this? My stats and equipment:   Thanks for your help, sorry for my bad English (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I have two things i want to point out.
The first is, dont mix different armor types. So, no light, cloth and plate armor in the same set. The second is, more dexterity.

I would stick with the first rapier, it has a perfect IW which is extremely rare and difficult to get for ethereal. The second ethereal rapier doesn't have good enough stats to justify a new investment in IW and the wasted forge upgrades on the first rapier.
I'm probably actually one of the few players who used a fair number of featherweight shards for exactly the reason decondelite mentioned, especially back when I was weaker and using a legendary demonic rapier with burden and full plate. I got ~100 free shards from as013. It wasn't absolutely necessary but feathering my whole equipment made IW easier. I even feathered my buckler.
Now that you mention it specifically regarding force shields, it might be very efficient and economical to feather just the force shield because it has by far the most interference. Maybe chest armor and leggings too, but you'll lose a lot of burden which wouldn't be desirable on a high level player.
I don't know if I would want to feather all the time though just for arenas as a poor low level player. (I'm not poor anymore and I'm medium level).

Well I didn't exactly search the thread to check like I should have, so I figured I'd cover my bases in case this question came up 2 pages ago (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE As 1H you want block and dont really care much about burden or interference.
Thanks I appreciate the response. For a long time I have wondered if a top tier Barrier Buckler, whose block would not be that far behind a Force Shield, had any benefits.

Only for 1h mage. Otherwise, get the highest block. SDE force shield is the best there is.

I've read about it and I'm working on it. I don't have enough equipment to make a set of only one type, should I use some equipment even if it is not the same type or should I just leave some empty slots? What's the best option? QUOTE(Uncle Stu @ Oct 26 2018, 12:01)  more dexterity.
OK, I'll spend more points on it. Thanks for your help (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
