[X] My Assistant

Currently I'm playing 1H heavy, but my clears are a little slow, and I'm not sure if that's because of my playstyle, items, or what. So I was wondering if it would be worth it to try and set up a mage persona or is it too costly/not worth the time.

I have around 30m, so i think I could buy some decent gear, but I'm unsure how big of a difference it'd make to change playstyles.

I forgot to answer your last question. If you want to know how powerful mages are, you can check out their DwD performance in that "Post Your Stats on DwD ^.^" thread.

mage ppl, what scrolls do you use for IW? I tried using protection, shadow veil, haste since round 40 (mainly cuz my IW rounds are 80, don't own 100 rounds items (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) and it seems to work pretty fine.

Thing is, it seems scroll of protection is very effective (30% to 50% mitigation), but Idk about veil (25% to 30% evade) and haste (50% to 60% action speed). I guess I need those tiny improvements for late round grindfests, but can I perhaps skip them for IW?

Much thanks for the detailed responses I got previously on DW + Armor I should use. Again, the wiki doesn't detail out very well what armor type is reccommended for Niten. I would assume it's the same as DW and I should be using light armors/shade right?

Yes, niten is conventionally light armor also (though generally considered the weakest style right now). Same principle applies as with DW - it _can_ technically be played with heavy, if your parry is high enough (like.. 90%+)

Two Questions about Arcane Focus:
1. Didn't it used to increase both the chance to Critical Hit and Critical Damage?

Did you activate Better Arcane Focus?

RE: Q1: Yes

2. Why can't it be selected as a Hath Perk?

As Hath Perk? Do you mean why you cant set it in a auto cast slot? unsure.gif

RE: Q2: Yes

RE: Q1: Yes

Well, in that case it should, do you ask because of the tooltip info during battle? I remember another tooltip been wrong, i guess it was haste, so wouldnt be suprised, if it would be wrong for another spell and wouldnt worry about it.

RE: Q2: Yes

Because 10bo did prevent us to do this. Regen, Heartseeker and the Focus are not allowed as auto cast.

Thanks for clearing this up. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes the pop-up states "Arcane Focus will additionally increase the damage of any critical spell "


So can we assume that the damage is additionally to Critical Chance?
Or only additionally INCREASE the damage?
I thought it use to say Arcane Focus will additionally increase critical chance and damage. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

No.

You know this.

Magical Attack
1012 magic base damage
100.3 % hit chance
0 % crit chance / +50 % damage

And when we now talk about critical damage, we actually talk about the +50% damage behind crit chance. Except of course this is what you mean by "damage additional to crit chance." In that case the answer would be yes.

Oh ok, Thanks again.

So my Magical Attack Stats:

2761 magic base damage
178.2 % hit chance
37.2 % crit chance / +50 % damage
97.3 % mana cost modifier
12.4 % cast speed bonus

So in closing Arcane Focus or Better Arcane Focus will NOT increase % crit chance.

Ehm, Arcane Focus will increase crit chance and also damage. Better arcane focus is only a addon that does improve arcane focus. In the end arcane focus does the same for mages what Heartseeker does for melee. It increases damage and crit chance and with the right ability also increase crit damage.

So i just shrine all button in Easter event.
Right?

So i just shrine all button in Easter event.
Right?

you only need to shrine one each to obtain the reward at the end of event.
you could do whatever you wants to the rest, selling or even hoarding them for whatever reason is fine too.

- Can I shrine all 10 of Easter artifacts multiple times?

for example i would get 20 x T7s and 2 x T8s if i shrine all 10 artifacts x 2?

or just 1 time only for the T7 and T8?

- DJNons said "Also, everyone may receive only one set at most." but what does he mean by 'one set'?

10 artifacts or the T7 and T8?

- Does this event ends on the end of Easter holiday 22nd?

No.

This.

The T7 and T8.

It ends at the end of Monday the 22nd, the day after Easter.

No.

This.

The T7 and T8.

It ends at the end of Monday the 22nd, the day after Easter.

I see, thanks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Are forge upgrades kept after reforging? (I'm guessing they stay on the item but i couldn't find any documentation that says they remain or are lost after a reforge)

Are forge upgrades kept after reforging?

Yes.

Yes, but if I were you I wouldn't forge an item before I'm done with IWing it.
Salvaging by accident instead of reforging is a risk.

So I did the arena on Nintendo Difficulty and I want to know if that was a bad idea doing that at my level right now?

I had to do a lot of micromanaging on making sure that I can beat it on that difficulty.

It was so annoying.

Or, use HV Utils script, and you can't accidentally salvage the item.

Or just equipment it item in another equipment set, that does also prevent you from accidentally salvage the item and you dont even need a script for this. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Well, usually this depend much more on the equipment as just on your level. But from your description i would say, you may not be ready for nintendo right now, without to upgrade your equipment, either by getting better equipment, or by forge your equipment.

But, if you dont have a problem with annoying and you can survive it, i would say go for it. But dont torture yourself when you dont have fun playing the game that way. You will soon enough able to play nintendo. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
