In that case, what would be the priority in selecting the right shield? So I should be looking at the PABs more importantly? I'd love to get myself SDE Force Shield with high percentile, and I wouldn't matter if block chance was a bit low, but currently I can't find one on the market :'(

As for the rapier, I've never looked at it that way, but it's an interesting perspective and probably right one too. As for infusion, I haven'd had a chance to do either IW or GF, and I think it'll stay that way for a while, so the only infusion I would do and that matters is for SG arena, so in a sense ethereal rapier at IW9 can achieve that so that's pretty good.

What's the probability of rare materials or bindings in a monster gift? The wiki has odds for each grade of common material, but I couldn't find the overall common/rare/binding breakdown. (I hope I'm not missing something terribly obvious here.)

Wiki can tell that about material grades because they are bound to monster PL, but that is not the case for everything that is not material. In the end every single monster has the same chance to bring you a phazon from PL 25 to 2250.

Ethereal rapiers cost more because they are useful for dual wield.

Nope that is not the reason, because not that many player do actually play DW and not all of them even use a rapier. The real reason is that they are just totaly overrated.

Block i would say.

Dont worry, for some things you just have to be patient. I mean in the meantime you can allready pile up some money to make sure, you will be able to buy it when one shows up.

so in a sense ethereal rapier at IW9 can achieve that so that's pretty good.

Yeah, about that. Did you also think about that upgrade that rapier would sooner or later bring it up to IW 10? Because somehow i doubt you will be able to fully forge it just like that. I mean the BoS alone will cost nearly 10M. So do you still think this would be a good idea for you?

Even if I were to get an ethereal rapier, at least at this moment anyways, it's probably going to be something transitory, and I'll probably not spam binding of slaughter, if any, on it.

If time comes and I actually were to buy an ethereal rapier as an endgame gear because its other merits are too big to forgo just because it's ethereal, then it'll probably be either full forge upfront (IW9), or reforge until I get the element I want(IW10). Then again, this will be like a long, long time from now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

As for the shield, I'm bidding for a peerless SDA right now, but I'm kinda at the limit (8m) and don't wanna spend more on it, I mean it's not even SDE..

I mean it's not even SDE..

Well, that is the reason why you didnt see a bid from me. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

hahaha good one. But then again even a peerless SDE would cost less than 15m, right? This is a past data but I looked through Super's past auctions to get an idea of how much I should expect to pay, and saw a peerless SDE with starting price of 15m not being sold. It's past data, but I think it should still somewhat holds.

Unless it's SDE Protection ofc...who knows how much THAT will cost (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well that wasnt actually a joke. I mean i have allready a quite good shield, so that little bit of more block a peerl would give me would just not cover the loss of all those endurance.

hahaha good one. But then again even a peerless SDE would cost less than 15m, right?

at least 30m if it's dampening, a warding one maybe 20+

at least 30m if it's dampening, a warding one maybe 20+

It allways depends if people with enough credits are actually looking for one.

That would be my limit =D

Really? Interesting, because for me it would be the other way around, i would pay more for the warding than for the dampening. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well that wasn't meant to say you were joking, but a way of expressing that I enjoyed your witty comment (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)



Dang I should travel back in time and snatch it at 15m. O_o

Is dampening more valuable than stoneskin and deflection because it's the weakest to crushing? Is it only for heavy armor or for other armors as well? I don't recall seeing specific mitigations strength/weakness for each armor type, but maybe I just didn't look hard enough

NVM Found it right away in the Equipment Ranges lol

quick question, what's a good IW combination for 2W? for 1W it's always but4/5 fat 5/4, but for 2W do I need Over5? When is swift needed? probably not gonna play 2W in the near future but just want to IW it, although it's not even an estoc...

Is the stats too bad for this one? Thought most people only care about its adb? not familiar with how slaughters are valued.

Ethereal rapiers cost more because they are useful for dual wield.

And as we're always saying, that's complete bullshit. Non-ethereal+feather = 0.7 burden at most, 0 interference.

If infusions cost 200 credits each, I guess after 10000 1000 infusions you would be wasting credits. I guess that could be 1~4 years months of playing this game.

I've seen both endgame and temporary ethereal rapiers left at IW9 but I never did that with any of my own. My previous analysis was for endgame rapiers. For temporary ethereal rapiers, which most people don't give a perfect IW9 to begin with, the numbers change. Because a blind IW10 typically costs around 200k, while But+Fat=9 may cost up to 2m. So you can see it's a close call for both endgame and temporary rapiers.

Also don't forget, only people who always fight with infusions (and 2 infusions with IW9) should consider leaving an ethereal rapier at IW9. I can't say whether it's right or wrong, but many players including myself are too cheap to use infusions. Anyone who falls into this category should finish IW on an ethereal rapier no matter what.

I don't know if ethereal gets priced higher than arctic in general. My feeling is that they are similar but there is a lot of randomness based on who is bidding and their beliefs.

I think Butcher & overpower would work fine on a 2h, but I haven't played it myself.

That slaughter piece is very good. Lowish level, and highish ADB - it's a winner for sure.

I need a reply quick

Is this good? 66k in my bazaar

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) shite someone bought it.

that was an excellent piece for such low level, yes.

And as we're always saying, that's complete bullshit. Non-ethereal+feather = 0.7 burden at most, 0 interference.

ah, thanks for the correction, I totally forgot they don't weight much.

Back when I bought mine long ago, my DwD time was abysmal, so I decided against using holy and dark all the time on it and went for iw10. Wouldn't have done it now, but reforging without dark descent is too expensive.

usefull or salvage?
