[X] My Assistant

So this is kind of embarrassing to ask but... what's the proper stat distribution I should be using as DW?

I would say most important are Dex and Agi, Str and End not so much and Int and Wis just like 1H.

So this is kind of embarrassing to ask but... what's the proper stat distribution I should be using as DW?

I use dex = str > agi = end > wis >>>> int.

For agi, the conversions to both evade and offhand chance are pretty low, the attack speed gained from it is fairly negligible too... there's no reason for us not to use haste, also. It's still an easy source of stat gains when it's cheap, but dex & str both have a much nicer per-point payoff, so that's a better use of exp when the costs are higher.

But that's kinda arm-waving about the whole attack speed thing for something I don't necessarily understand too well, so someone might have math to prove me wrong... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah....
I'd love just a fucking "can't do anything if sparked except for cure/full-cure/health draught/potion/elixir/last elixir/drain"

I have definitely cast regen instead of cure by accident at least once.

allowing/disallowing certain actions other than hovering based on context is definitely over the line, don't even think about it

Is it really?
From what I understand, what is forbidden is what lead to an action, directly or in a different way than usual.
Preventing an action from starting, I don't think that count.
Forcing the healing icon on the user cursor, replacing an attack with healing, things like that would be forbidden, but just disabling stuff, merely causing the server to wonder why the user is taking more time to start another action at worst, should be ok?

Yes it is. Admin told us specifically.

You don't think it counts. Makes sense. But admin told us it does count.

Nope. You make total sense, but you don't make the rules. Admin does make the rules, and doesn't always make total sense. But he can - it's his game.

It makes sense in terms of removing user agency - the script makes a decision for user. Whether that decision is doing something the user didn't choose to do, or whether it's stopping them from doing something they did choose to do, it's still a decision the script made rather than the user. It might be a little more abstract, but it's definitely consistent.

Sorry, I think you probably already understand this but I still wanted to put in my piece on that ruling.

Even interpreting the data to influence decisions with alerts is an exception to the normal script rules.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty tough to reach Prof factor of 1.0 with cotton gloves and shoes if you use a Willow staff...You need prof factor of 537 WHEN your prof on staff, gloves, shoes are ALL peerless O_o....

Non-imperil mages out there, what are your prof factors??

EDIT: Btw, is there a distribution of high PL monsters available? Like how many are celestial, daimon, etc.

I have a spreadsheet of monster data from the nibl database (decond/jenga), not sure if that will help:
[drive.google.com] https://drive.google.com/file/d/13jg75lWfwM...iew?usp=sharing

Note that the data is slightly old (about a month ago). Can use filters / count / etc to find monster class distribution.

I want to stat a FRD Niten Shade kind of character. I want to make absolutely certain I do it right off the bat and don't make a really dumb mistake that gimps me forever. I'm hoping to be FRD for right now and maybe eventually transition into a spirit stance berserker kind of thing.
My gear looks like this, I'll probably be sitting on my armors until I get something leagues better, at which point I'll properly IW it, and I'll probably be sitting on my weapons until I get a high damage ethereal of slaughter katana and a high parry waki of nimble, ethereal if I can find it but I'd be much more comfortable settling for a regular waki considering weight and that I'm using shade equipment.

Waki

So with all that said, what assistance could you give to statting this, considering PABs and considering the different style (it is quite a shift from 1H Power after all).

-snip-

First, try to get Overpower5 on both your katana and waki.

Second, try to get an ethereal katana, much more important than an ethereal waki, though having both is obviously optimal. Also, if you want more pure power, you should go for balance waki instead (for guaranteed offhand hit+high crit chance) but nimble is more defensive so that's fine.

You should go for high str/dex, a little less high agi/end, keep wis at your level and int at about 70-80% of your level. That's what I think I remember being optimal.

Also, try to turn in some artifacts to get your PABs higher, if you can afford it anyway.

Well, maybe OP5 isn't necessary if you're doing FRD, but if you DON'T go FRD, you'll need it.

...

Those will be goals for the future then I suppose. Honestly I'm just happy to not be using this anymore. You have no idea how soul crushing IWs have been with half magnificent half not that good legendary power armor and this.

This might be a dumb question, but...
What the heck is FRD?

You also have to be using the Dovahkiin title as opposed to Godslayer.

I thought for the FRD build you're essentially just trying to get your attack speed to a certain point (#hits you get off before stuns wears off = enough to recharge the lost OC from FRD), so beyond the initial build-up of OC and maybe killing some small fry off at the end of a round, defense is mostly negligible, accuracy as well since mobs are perma-stunned.

Is 2H survivable on PFUDOR without doing that?

Yeah, FRD acts as a stopgap to get into PFUDOR at a lower gear level (with that tactic), but as a 2H you can also use a mace to get similar benefits (though it'll be pretty shoddy against schoolgirls compared to estoc). FRD is just more useful for niten since they're stuck with 2 bleeding proc weapons

FRD also synergises pretty well with Niten because Waki has innate attack speed, which means the stun from FRD will last longer.

Is 2H survivable on PFUDOR without doing that?

you have to heal or use deprecating spells more often when you play 2H. The weapon that can get the best out of FRD is the estoc. At the arena niten works better without it

I can't seem to get Live Percentile Ranges to work. I keep getting Request Error: Response code of "0" Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also what is the day for fire wizards? Any help is appreciated thank you.
