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

Fus Ro Dah
Stuns everybody for 5 turns.

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.

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.

Maybe you're still using default font.

Hi! I have some questions regarding Hollowforged staffs.

Firstly, why are many staffs requires only IW9? Isn't the original elemental strike kept as well?

Secondly, suppose there is a perfect roll of Legendary Ethereal Oak Staff of Heimdall or even a peerless one. What happens if one Hollowforge the staff to get a holly strike? The only down side here is a huge expected cost.

Any comments?

Strikes are all physical damage. They only apply to normal attacks.
For mages, who deals damage by casting spells instead of normal attacks, IW 10 is useless.

For mages IW 10 is useless.

HGW is HGW. You dont get one more just because the HGW Staff has better stats.

or even a peerless one.

Well, you could ask scremaz if he still buys worthless peerl for 50k.

First you cant get hollowforge on an Ethereal Weapon. And all elemental strike have absolutly no effect for mages. Just like -vincento- said.

The only down side here is a huge expected cost.

You mean together with a perfect IW? No, the downsides would be a waste of a lot of credits, the waste of a lot of time and all this for absolutly no benefit on a staff that is only HGW.

Imagine trying to get a p5s4 holy strike on an ethereal staff lmao....

Just to clarify these things a little more:

Like Stu said, you can't get hollowforged on an eth weapon. The Hollowforged effect is what weapons with elemental types get at level 10 automatically, instead of a 2nd elemental strike, and it converts their damage to void-type (and adds the void strike).

A weapon that naturally has an elemental type (ie, a Tempestuous Rapier etc) has a bonus to spell damage of its type, but getting an IW10 extra strike doesn't add this bonus for that strike type.

These two effects are why it doesn't matter to mages whether their staff is level 10 or not - it would only enhance their physical hits. (And also why eth staffs are near worthless)

i like to call it "my gollum" so i can be like "RIIISE MY GOLLUM!!"

I see. I confused myself as I took the elemental strike as the elemental damage bonus. Indeed only MDB and EDB matters so the physical damage roll does not matter at all for spells. Luckily I am not planning to play mage soon to make all kinds of silly mistakes.

No worries, very easy thing to think there's a link between!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
