what is ADB and BLK and how is it caculated?

See acronyms, BLK = block, formula for it looks something like (equipment block + ability block) - cap modificator after around 60%

As someone in the terrible 300-400 level range (and recently emerging from the low 200s range), I think it's pretty safe to say you should never soulfuse Superior or Exquisite equipment. Since the low 200s I've only accumulated 7500 soul fragments or so (have soulfused two Legendaries only).

It's just so easy to replace every 30 levels or so your equipment from 200-300 for sub-Exquisite, and forging is prohibitively expensive at my level. It's cheaper just to buy new stuff each time.

Here comes a new question.....How can I distinguish which I should use or which is better......

[178502266] Superior Rapier of the Nimble (Level 144)
[178698213] Superior Rapier of Slaughter (Level 173)

wow, superior equips are THAT awful?
My brain still stunned from the astonishment, that my answer would just the lvl 173 slaughter one, better overall attack I believe
except if you still on low hit chance that you miss a lot, then the balance might better.

thank you
but what does ADB 65% or ADB 0% mean on weapon and armor in shops.
ist their a list where the max stats is listed?

It is the percentile range. Most players use this, and there is a script that calculates it automatically.

It shows how good the item is. For Legendary: a 0% ADB rapier means it is the absolute worst Legendary rapier possible for damage. A 100% ADB rapier means there is no legendary rapier out there with better damage. Rich players want above 50% on all good stats. Over 80% and people pay crazy money. And, a 0% legendary rapier will still kill monster quite effectively.

They're Superior, so yes.
Use whatever seems useful right now and don't think twice about replacing them when you get something better.

what happend if a monster has negative denfence and using rapier on it no effect or still more damage?

I don't think defense can become negative, even with imperil + penetrated armor tacked. For Schoolgirls, imperil seems to work very well with rapier. For normal monsters, it's a waste of time. But never negative, I though.

what's the most verbose statistical tracking script exist today?
something like monsterbation's damage tracking or something, but would also record things like resisted spell, it's resist level distribution (25/50/75 %), or differing between block/parry instead of simple "miss", and so on. and if it works with monsterbation too.

what about monster with 50% weakness to fire 10% imperil make it 60% or 55%?

what about monster with 50% weakness to fire 10% imperil make it 60% or 55%?

monster 50 fire mitigation. 10 imperil makes it 40, meaning 40% less fire damage dealt to monster.

I think he meant monsters with negative elemental attribute, like daemon's holy -50 elemental weakness.

From Wiki:
It is important to note that mitigations are applied in a multiplicative fashion. However, they cannot be reduced stats below 0, or reduced further if the mitigation is already negative.

Of course I will replace with a better one
but I don't know if the attack accuracy or the piercing damage will be more important

Imperil reduces both elemental and physical/magical mitigation.

The physical/magical mitigation is multiplicative with your other forms of physical/magical mitigation.

The elemental mitigation is additive with the enemy monster's elemental mitigation. So enemy 50% resistance becomes 40% resistance, and 50% weakness becomes 60% weakness.

However if you have two sources of elemental mitigation, for example Imperil and also Day Element Bonus...or your Coldproof and Cold Shield, I believe the two sources of elemental mitigation are multiplicative with each other.

You posted four weapons afaik. And all of them where non elemental rapier. So i am not sure what sort of choice you are thinking of. They all do piercing damage and only one of them does actually really increase your accuracy and that would be the balance one. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Btw if i were you, i would ignore vampire or illithid weapons, they are just not worth it. The benefit from weapons with other suffixes is allway bigger.

Btw when i remember at my time at 200 i would say go for balance or nimble atm.

but I don't know if the attack accuracy or the piercing damage will be more important

Most important stats are element of strike, adb and parry, then pabs and chance of crit (accuracy and penetrated armor are usually high enough to not care, high burden and interference for 1H are even helpful)

I have so often read of people who struggle to hit the monster at that level, i would say accuracy isnt as unimportant to them, as it is high level player. And when i look at what is in the bazaar right now, elemental superior or even Exquisit weapons are quite are. Was that allways that way? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
