Haste gives 25% attack speed right?

That depends, 25% is only the base haste, but with fully upgraded better haste it gives even 50%.

While swift strike level 5 gives roughly 9.5%, but as I play DW if both my weapon has swift strike level 5 isn't that a whopping 19%? Or does it has a different formula?

No, 9,5% and around 19% sounds about right. But compared to fully upgraded haste and the attack speed you get from the rest of your set it is still not that much. So if i would play DW i would still prefer Overpower for my weapons everytime. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Yeah, what I mean by doubles is that compared to enemy's action, so it's like you're moving faster that you can strike enemy double the amount you can before. Let's just say you get extra turns, which in my opinion can be vastly more useful than a small extra damage that still depends on another number of chance (fatality).

in terms of defense, yes it basically make monster hit you less.
in terms of offense, technically yes if you see in terms of battle turn, in actual practice, nope, as your damage per attack/action turn is still the same, and that action turn is what you physically experience (page load).
relative to actual clear speed, I doubt it, unless we're talking about decreasing the number of cure you need as the number of monster attack is lower, but that's if your defense is frail enough that the extra speed warrant noticeably less cure times.

you could easily reach 30%+ attack speed bonus with DW

Ah yeah you're right, it's 50% at max level better haste.

Sure it's not that much but an extra 19% chance is still better than fatality that gives extra damage not extra crit chance, if it gives crit chance then I'd have to agonize between the two, but unfortunately it's not.

And also my evade is pretty much crap at this point (around 48-ish%) so extra turns definitely helps. It might be different if I have a full set of savage shade though.

Yeah, it is practically doubles the damage from the enemy's pov. As for clear speed, is it really matter that much? I always clear PFDWD around 4+ hours (yes, I always fell asleep while playing extra long rounds) so it doesn't matter that much for me personally.

Edit: mistyped fatality as overpower

Quick question about IW exp gains.
Wiki lists:

EXP Gains in IW = Non-IW_EXP * (PXP0 - 100) * 0.004

As the formula.
I'm not sure I understand the (PXP0 - 100) part.
Does that mean that, say this piece:
[alt.hentaiverse.org] http://alt.hentaiverse.org/equip/174618386/256368bb18
That has 0/200 Potency
If I input that into the formula it would be:
Non-IW_EXP * (200 - 100) * 0.004
?
And so the EXP gains would not increase as I gain potency, because the formula only cares about the PXP at 0?

That has 0/200 Potency
If I input that into the formula it would be:
Non-IW_EXP * (200 - 100) * 0.004
?

I am not 100% sure but it should works like that.

And so the EXP gains would not increase as I gain potency, because the formula only cares about the PXP at 0?

True.

I do not know if this helps to understand, but in any case, there it is. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Noticing some odd script behaviours atm. My Battle Stats isn't recording turn count properly - it seems to stop dead after a variable amount of turns per round (I had an amazing 400 turn DWD last night, as DW! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) - and the RE link which I think is Utils? now takes one click to turn into 'Loading...', and then another click to actually start it, rather than just going straight in...

Anyone else having the same issues, before I start doing any tinkering to look for the cause? Only started last night, previous day was fine.

I tried battle stats yesterday and it didn't work so I just turned it off.

I think if you wait a few more seconds it'll finish loading. Sometimes I see loading before it loads and sometimes I don't.

Chaos token, if it actually does increase the number of blood token that effect is only very, very small.

thats why Im hestitate over buying Tokenizer II, I really dont need any more chaos tokens

What kind of bizarro-HV are you playing? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But why tho? Token of blood is essentially not that useful over 5/day unless you are gonna do TTT, whereas with chaos token you can unlock monster slots and upgrade tehm

Just ask high level Players, if you play enough the Chaos tokens will come over time

you could also become a millionaire if you earn $1 per hour, it just makes things harder

Have you already unlocked all the slots? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

If so, are your 200 monsters full chaosed? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Only on the day that both of the above questions are positive will you no longer need chaos tokens. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I want to build mage, but all these gears are lv500 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
If I wanted to build a cheap-ass build for arena only, is redwood better than willow since arena monsters don't have much resistance to imperil?

I've also read that charged isn't necessary for arenas, but they still make arenas clear faster right?

Maybe I should get a cheap mage build for now and get good gears for pffest over long period of time...Can't even find soulfusable gears rn ugh

Even though I'm not a mage, my understanding is that Charged is for survivability (and by corollary this lowers your clear time because you spend less actions healing/etc.) at the later rounds in PFFest and maybe IWs.

↓

For SG Arenas, the ideal setup is Redwood Staff and Radiant Phases, and 0.79 prof_factor
For GF, Willow, Charged, and ~0.7 prof_factor

I've also read that charged isn't necessary for arenas, but they still make arenas clear faster right?

With charged pieces you'll cure less and that can help with clear speed.

Thank you~ I guess redwood for normal arenas as well? They're not taken into consideration since they're so insignificant perhaps lol

Willow is better for normal arenas since normal monsters are greater threat compared with SGs.
If you are going wind/elec I recommend grabbing a willow instead of redwood.

At the end of day, you will lose 10% of the forging materials after you salvage your redwood and pay for the IW again. Just pick a willow.
