It's not surprising he's going non imp fire with DDIX.
No counter resist is a serious disadvantage for redwoods that I picked a willow instead.
I am cold instead for fire but the situation should be the same.

Interesting.

So it means that 13,59% Counter-Resist can be better than:

Elemental Proficiency (Redwood) 8,29 > Elemental Proficiency (Oak) 6,45
Fire Spell Damage (Redwood) 21,78 > Fire Spell Damage (Oak) 18,56

Assuming they both have the same prefix.

So, is Redwood only good if it has the prefixes Destruction, Elementalist and Surtr (or Niflheim)?

First thing non imp elemental is for ultrarich only.
I doubt if it is any viable without DD7+.
Why redwood is best match for Fire/Cold is simply Fire/Cold don't match with willow(no MDB).
For Wind/Elec redwood is completely inferior to willow.
Redwood provide more prof but imperil elemental mages can get enough prof even with willow+shoes slot.

Only destruction suffix is preferable.
EDB suffix is simply inferior to MDB suffix in most cases.
Prof suffix- I don't really see demand for it.
It can bring ~0.8 prof factor without any cotton but that's all.

Does anyone keep track of equipment condition drain? My PFFESTs are usually around low 40s condition drain each time I do it, but for some reason the one I just finished took around 82-86 condition... wasn't defeated (completed it), didn't trigger spark of life any more than usual (don't think it has any effect on equipment wear anyways), #monsters was about the same... Just a random 2x of the usual condition drain on everything lol.

Maybe you hadn't repaired it from the last fest? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I think I did... maybe I just forgot. Brain kinda tired right now lol. I'll try more later and see what happens. Might be hard to reproduce if it's not just a brainfart though.

Is full forging the staff a necessity for arenas as well? As I am building my mage gear, I thought of trying out with this staff I just got https://hentaiverse.org/equip/182420332/a75482ff17

And some plain phase pieces. At least the Mdb is high enough to be around 9% leg mdb, but is it waste of resource to forge it cuz it is not gonna work anyways? What would be the minimum forge needed for making this staff viable for a while to cleqr up to pfdwd?

Since it is mag, I dont plan to get p5s4 on it lol

How's your proficiency?
I have this set up on my "Temp Frost Mage"
And I'm definitely healing basically on cooldown.

Legendary Arctic Redwood Staff of Destruction
Peerless Ruby Phase Cap of Niflheim
Legendary Cobalt Phase Robe of Niflheim
Legendary Charged Cotton Gloves of Warding
Legendary Cobalt Phase Pants of Niflheim
Peerless Amber Phase Shoes of Niflheim

But I think part of that has to be because my proficiencies on mage are crap.

Cloth armor
348.398
Staff
348.377
Elemental
348.974

Wasn't like the recomended prof factor ~0.7-~0.8?
(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
0.144 Proficiency Factor

It's not something like minimum requirement but more is faster.

You can try ~50 MDB, ~30 EDB&prof.
I will suggest you at least get Pene5.

Change your gloves to elementalist (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Change your gloves to elementalist (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Would if I had one (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

How's your proficiency?

I haven't done any forging on my prof glove yet so idk yet, but i'll let you know once I get the perk and do the prof forges (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Also, it might be a good idea to do some work on prof at least on REs, b/c after some my elemental proficiency is at 381 without equipping any mage gear.

Thanks for the info (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Will try that much forging to see how it goes. I guess I'ill just start with lower level arenas at pfudor and if it's too difficulty then try iwbth or something (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I found a SS of my DwD clear with plain mage set.
If you have proper prof your DwD should be something like this.
Lv~400 maybe
LTRD ~90 MDB & ~45 others forged , P5S4
prof factor ~0.71
3 plain phase, 1 charged phase, plain prof cotton gloves
Cotton Prof forge ~30
All phase less than 5 forge
All armor with Jug 3~5

Yeah, I need me some Jug and some prof cotton.

Why is it that whenever I use alt+2 or alt+3 for Regen or Heartseeker respectively, it'll automatically do my (most of the time) last used spell, Cure, whenever I hit alt without waiting for the number input?
Does it do that for the same reason whenever I alt+tab to a different window and alt tab back, I automatically use cure until I refresh to get it to stop?
Could it be a script problem? Is that a Monsterbation thing or something?

Maybe you have cure set to "alt"?

Maybe you have cure set to "alt"?

That's the thing though, I don't recall ever doing that, and even if I did I don't see anywhere in settings that would be indicative of it. And I decided to mess around with it some more and found that it didn't always cure when I just press alt, sometimes it sits idle like it's properly waiting for an input. But then I gave it its alt+1 for cure and it didn't do anything. Even with this messed up cure at least it's faster than just using mouse at least. Still, I'd like to figure out what the heck is going on.

Check for this:
hoverAltAction =
Bind(KEY_ALT

Also, might I recommend to forgo the whole alt+x stuff on buffs altogether.
Just go with a single keybind.
For example, on my 1H set up I have
Q - queue up imperil
W - regen
E - cure
R - heartseeker
S - spirit stance
D - full cure
F - vital strike
Z - imperil monster #2
X - imperil monster #5
C - imperil monster #8

And I have had 0 issues whatsoever.

that

I'll look into doing that, it certainly seems like a better option. It LOOKS like the reason for my misery is Chrome aggressively unfocusing the tab whenever I hit alt. Which doesn't change mousemelee, mousemelee still works great, but it messes with hotkeys like using draughts. Was really throwing me for a loop when I kept opening the Chrome help tab every time I tried to use a mana draught.
Thanks so much for the tip though.

Yeaaaah...
I'd go for 1 key shortcuts with monsterbation.
Why did you even choose to go alt+whatever in the first place? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
It's not like it's the default in monsterbation

Yeah, I need me some Jug and some prof cotton.


How is your base prof though?
(IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/xh9l1Oq.png)

my base prof is 381

Yeaaah, I'd start working on this too:
Staff
+Spell Damage 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.5
+Spell Accuracy 0.01% / 0.02%
+Physical Damage 3
Cloth
+Spell Accuracy 0.05%
+Spell Critical Chance 0.01% / 0.015% / 0.018% / 0.021% / 0.025%

It's not just the elemental that's important
