When Spark of Life is triggered Cloak of the Fallen procs, which grants full immunity to damage during the turn that Spark triggers.

Grants +75%? physical and magical mitigation bonus after the original proc.

This is the tool-tip from the EHWiki, so I thought it grants immunity for one turn. Very misleading (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

the turn when you act after spark triggered is not the turn when the spark triggered.

Yea I kinda figured out after reading about the action speed. Thanks anyways!
And this inherently implies that it's best to trigger SoL while attacking since its action speed is 1 and Cloak of Fallen will absorb attack from every monster. If I were to trigger it while casting haste, for instance, it's likely to get attacked whatever my action for next turn is.

Oh btw, is it normal to not use any of deprecating spells and the skills except for OFC? I never get a chance to use them really.

I'll get back to you with an EDIT once I check it the next time I clear the arena, but I think the Trio and the Tree roughly took me about 15 minutes ish. Basically I 2~3 shot monsters with SS on, I get to use OFC every 4 turns or so. I want to move up to IWBTH, but I think that'll have to wait until better base dmg.

I've been doing that but without IA auto-cast lol, I'm gonna get it as soon as I get the 50 hath@4060. Right now I'm basically trying not to proc spark as much as possible, but yea I guess it's better let it proc once I'm considerably low since if I attack on turn which I would've otherwise spent healing, faster OC.

UGH wasn't Cloack of the Fallen supposed to provide immunity for one turn? When SoL proc and my hp was 1 w/ cloak of the fallen, I attacked and was defeated immediately :/

Around your level, it's pretty normal not to be able to kill everything in a blitz. I had similar clear times when I was in your shoes, and there isn't much you can do. Judging by your difficulty setting, it appears to me that you're playing 1H, and frankly you can't possibly hope to get fast with 1H. If time really is an issue, then switch to 2H for the time being and accept not playing a difficulty as high as you could manage with 1H.

Cloack of the Fallen is not here to allow you to tank for free while attacking like a brute, but to give you the opportunity to get back on your feet by healing and renewing your buffs. Possibly spending draughts and potions aswell.

Thanks for the comment. Oh actually I'm absolutely fine with the clearing speed of arena@ nintendo. It's just that I tried IWTBH arena and, well I could try to pull it off, but it's way too many consumables and times for its worth. I mean I guess if I wanted to clear fast I would have to do mage but that'll be like endgame stuff, and I'm perfectly content with how 1H gets the job done and let me clear harder difficulty.

While you are here by the way, any tips on selecting great pass-through items? I'm looking at your lovely auction right now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

More specifically, I'm curious about the following thing:

1. power of slaughter vs power of protection/warding - dmg gap between slaughter vs p/w seems to be much greater than pmit/mmit difference, should I still go for protection/warding? I mean 12% mit vs 10% mit is merely 0.88/0.9 ~ 2.3% dmg reduction, whereas attack dmg diff is around 200, which equates to about 8% for me.
2. sd vs se vs de - I'm aware that ADB doesn't mean shit at this tier, since I'm mainly looking at exq/low mag (i.e. 50k equips) and the diff are at most 20 damage, and sd diff can easily excess that. But if I were to compare sd and de of equal quality, which can result in dmg diff of up to 70 pts, does extra endurance of around 50 pts can shadow that?

don't get too fixated on legendaries, some magnificent or even exquisites are fine too, moreover on 1h-shield playstyle that isn't too equip dependent. as long as the said equip have 3 PABs (or even 2 with one of them dex) and decent stats on it's tier, such equip will work fine until ~350 provided it's near your level (or soulfused - which is relatively cheap for exquisites).
use the live percentile script to look at the stats and compare it to it's higher/lower quality variant, you'll be surprised on how some equip aren't as bad/good as you though solely from quality label.

don't worry too much about suffix either, aim for slaughter if you think you have good defense already, nobody know if you have one except yourself as different playstyle demand different stats (i.e using haste or not) as long as you know what each thing do, you should try to tweak it yourself. it's also a fair choice to go balance if you couldn't afford better slaughter and not having any actual need for extra defense from warding/protection

dex is more all-around PAB, it provided a little attack and extra defense from parry, on the other hand str only boost attack, end only boost defense, once again, depends on your need.

Thanks for your reply! Oh my, by no means I'm looking at anything NEAR legendary/high-mag lol. I'm just looking at high-exq/low-mag those that cost around 50k~100k that aren't soulfuse-worthy to get by haha.

So I guess DEX is a must since it is kidna all around; it seems exq rarely has three pab and I'm looking into those rn.

-snip-

Tips? If anything, I'd say that staying focused on the stuff like "rapier+force shield+power" is a terrible mistake, and that's it's fairly possible to play other things without losing much, or even while being more efficient.
But as to tell you what to play... no I'm definitely not fit to do that. Just follow your tastes.

That'd be really the most ideal way, but I think that's gonna be a lot of headache to figure out the best comp lol, but I think it is awesome how you managed to pull it off.

I was running whatever good I could find at 200 and it was hard to make a choice too. I ended up using mag axe + exq force shield and leather/shade set. Pabs were really the biggest deciding factor, since you don't want to be forging/soulfusing items you want to replace.

The mobile phone settings in Monsterbation are excellent. Use the monster bar function.

CODE

    // mobile settings
    clearRound = false, // clear target and reset hoverAction at round transition, to avoid lingering taps and make monsterBar safer
    spacedBar = false,  // increase spacing of quickbar and monster bars
    monsterBar = [ [false,'213'], [true,'163','162','161'] ],

This requires Firefox on mobile, with tampermonkey add-on added.

Thanks for the info!

But, I can't get firefox because it requires ios 10.3 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Is there a script for linking your equipment? I can get something simple by pressing L while hovering over the equipment, but I want to be able to link my equipment with id number ADB and etc. I'm sure they didn't type up all the ADB stuffs in the auction for each of the item - that would be a lot of work (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Live Percentile Ranges

Pretty sure he meant auction mass linking

Refer to decon's tutorial in his shop. Scroll down to HVToolbox section.

HV Toolbox alone can't possibly allow one to run auctions. All of us auctioneers use our home-made tools to manage everything.
But I'll admit that my format pattern became popular very quickly.

HVtoolbox and HVutils both have easily adjustable list generator for forums. Only notable difference is HVutils adds "all" tab to list all equipment categories on one page in equip inventory.

Nice. Thank you for all your replies. I think for now I'll just stick to what Live Range Percentile gives me when I press L while hovering over the equipment.

On the other hand, so I just did SG arena for the first time yesterday, the first one (End of Days), and boy it takes LONG time, like almost half an hour.

I'm running it on Nintendo, and my build is 1H rapier+armor.

1. Should I decrease the difficulty to clear it faster? If this one already takes half an hour, I don't wanna think about when I do DwD lol.
2. Some good strat for faster clear time? It seems OFC isn't as efficient as it is for non-SG arena and RE, cuz it can't kill off SG.

Also, I'm considering clearing only the top 7 arenas and 24 RE cuz that's about 600 rounds in total, and I probably want to stay above 80 if I want to level up fast. Any comments on this would be also helpful.

Lastly, can you give me some priority about abilities? I've learned that I should lv up AL, Scavenger, Archaeologist, but in what priority? Currently I have AL 62, Scavenger 1, Arch 1.

Thanks!!

If you would be faster on a lower difficulty and feel better, why not.

To speed up the SG arenas you could also use vital strike, imperil and infuse your weapon.

Well, this is the decision between more xp or more income. I mean you should keep in mind that below 80 stamina you loose the xp bonus, but you get double the rounds out of a single stamina point, above 80 you 25 round per point, below it is 50 round per point.

Lastly, can you give me some priority about abilities? I've learned that I should lv up AL, Scavenger, Archaeologist, but in what priority? Currently I have AL 62, Scavenger 1, Arch 1.

AL only when you actually need it, archaeoligist everytime you can spend the credits and scavenger, well the same but with lower piority. Imo you should also train Luck of the Draw and Quartermaster. And personally i would say those four in the order Arch, Quarter, Scavenge and Luck.

Cool! Thank you thank you! For infusion, do I go with infusion of the day or just holy or dark to go with holy/dark imperil?

Also Uncle Stu aer you doing 1H build? If so, how long does it take you to clear SG arenas? I've heard 1H being not as fast as some of the other builds, I wanna get a sense of how fast it is.

As for stamina, maybe I should double check how much income am I forgoing by not doing the first 13 arenas. I'm really dubious about like the first arena which essentially equates to a single round in terms of # of monsters in later arena.

for SG arena its better to use holy/dark infusion than infusion of the day as SG have -1 holy & dark mitigation, except for Konata...
don't forget to use Imperil on SG...

I usually use 8 infusion + 2 aether shard daily for 3 SG arenas...
so its ~2 hour for me...
