[X] My Assistant

I mean more like: right now how well my runs go depend almost exclusively on how often certain few monsters appear. Eila Juuti Ilmatari or something similar can singlehandedly proc my spark of life on Normal while almost no others come even close. Getting those multiple times in a row can be incredibly consuming on my mana pool or spirit pool. I don't remember it being this way at all when I played more often.

I don't like this random element at all.

Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen 501st gives me a cool coat a lot...... Cloak of the Fallen (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I will have to say blue isn't exactly my color (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I hope there's upgrades for the mages, real soon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

While it's easier to get screwed as a mage, we have the superior killing speed. Put SoL in IA, lower difficulty a bit and just do more rounds.
If you'd rather play everything on IWBTH, then I recommend switching to melee. Mages just aren't cut out for that as things currently stand.

Is melee really that much better at high level fighting?

Pretty much.

Mages can probably do iwbth schoolgirls arenas faster than melees.

I had another question. For monsters, should i try to quickly get it to 25 so it can begin battling, or just wait and try and make it really strong before its Lvl 25?

Also, is there a main forum thread for monster QandA and theorycrafting.

If you only upgrade STR & END on a monster it will be strong for its level (25) you could also upgrade the monster with tokens but you may want to save them for more monsters.

Problem with going full-mage now is the monster's upgradable resist, which means more wasted pots on casting imperil, heal and SOL. On the upside you get to work on your proficiencies. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Go with a balanced setup & switch between mage and melee; you never know what the new update may bring.

And how do we know that the bonuses for potions and equipment are identical? Did ten state as such somewhere?

BTW, I finally found the small indication that they're affected by the same loot quality.

I guess if you're fully equipped with legendary max mdb/edb/evade/int/wis & all of that forged a good deal, too and have enough agi to reach the cap if you use haste, things may be different, yeah.

Eventually you are going to be equally proficient as both a mage and a melee and switch between them based on what you are doing. To reach that point I recommend starting out as mage, as the fast gameplay from AoE means faster initial growth.

As people said before, generally speaking a mage kills faster but lacks the staying power of melee.

monsters have 2 layer defense to every attack. First there is evade (reduced by accuracy over 100%). Then there is parry for melee and resist for spells.
Resist is annoying but so is parry.

imperil is only needed on IWBTH and as a mage you should avoid IWBTH anyways.
SoL should be on IA slot where it is only wasting spirit rather then wasting both spirit and mana (due to being triggered canceling out its remaining duration).

It's always pinned at the same place.

Or if you want the slim one, you can find the list of scripts here

Go to options and turn it on. Most features of the script are off by default.

Right, that's what I succinctly wrote; I stated that pursuing a Full-Mage stat setup is for naught since spells can be Resisted with chaos upgrades. As for Evade, the evade mechanics has always been there for both mages and melee, you will encounter it regardless of setup. ESPECIALLY with the newest patch, you will encounter more monsters evades since both Heartseeker and Arcane-focus will lose their "Focus" perk.

I do not always cast Imperil, it's an security measure against high PL mobs, regardless of level. I also carry SoL scrolls but I mainly reserve it for long rounds/difficult rounds, this is in consideration of the cost between a scroll versus that of a mid-level potion. When I fully transit to melee, I would use those saved up SoL scrolls.
