Well, you are at a high level so, you did need to cast Cure/Regen more as Phys Asb is much less effective than it is for much lower level players. Try single target in an Item World Flimsy/Cake to greatly reduce the HP damage you take from the mobs to reduce Curative casts.

Well I didn't remember that, but it's pointless for me now since I have my elemental prof high enough (~100) so I don't need to use such extreme methods anymore (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Does armor prof raise faster then weapon?

You get hit more than you can hit enemies, so, yes, it generally does.

Also, with AOEs you kill them faster, which then reduces the damage input-->less mana wasted.

Well, yeah, at levels like that, my Elem prof comes from just doing Arenas and long EXP IW grinds.

Also, with AOEs you kill them faster, which then reduces the damage input-->less mana wasted.

But, it costs 2x per cast, which is a massive mana waste. Twice as many casts = twice as many chances to gain prof.

How is a mystic gem's boost applied to shield, or does it even get a boost?

It lasts 50% longer, nothing else. Same rules that apply with Channeling (all non-damage spells get only a duration boost).

It would be better to say that all non-variable effect spells only get a damage boost because cure gets the 50% boost.

Does poison just get a duration boost then?

4 5 Spreading Poison hits Manthra for 578 damage.
4 2 Manthra gains the effect Spreading Poison.
4 1 You cast Poison.
3 2 You gain the effect Channeling.
3 1 You use Mystic Gem.
2 3 Spreading Poison hits Manthra for 676 damage.
2 1 You gain the effect Defending.
1 4 Regen II restores you with 265 points of health.
1 3 Manthra gains the effect Spreading Poison.

Yes.

I just finished off Invisible Pink Unicorn.

For me, a Fighter, it took a little over 1300 Rounds with an off hand Rapier, a Main Hand Axe, and lots and lots and lots of Bleed, Poison Spells, and Mini-Spirit Attacks whenever possible.

I also have "Banish" (the strongest available Holy Spell) at full power......and from what I've seen of the Spell, its Breached Defense doesn't weaken defenses nearly as much as Penetrated Armor does.


My question is: How in blazes does a Mage with a Staff get to take down such a creature? I mean, are Legendaries less "armored" against Magic than they are for Physical Attacks?

Or does a Pure Mage who wants to kill one of these things have to call in sick from his RL job so that he or she can take all day long to take this creature out??

congratulations on beating IPU
IPU has a resistance to holy spells

Breached Defense does functionally nothing. Nerf, however, is a passable replacement for PA (well, not really, but it is better than nothing)

You can hurt them with magic, but you aren't going to do much. Probably not enough to not require using a LOT of mana elixirs.

Did you kill yours as a Mage or a a Fighter -or as a Mage but using Dual-Wield??

Congrats for killing IPU Thanos008.
EvolutionKing was the only player who killed RL by maging, and about the other 2 gods, I don't know if anyone kill them that way. (unless Hito of course)

By maging, do you mean with a staff? I beat both Real Life and IPU using PA + Soul Harvest/Pestilence.

as a Mage using Dual-Wield

Yes, he did with a staff, he did it just after magic missile become free cast, and that was the key to his victory.

Edit: You can see here:

I did it!

Yay!

Where should I start putting AP? I have the health and mana tank boosts filled, the item/aura slots, shield, heal, and poison and weaken are full.
