Bonuuuuuuuuus day!
Infusions, enchants, the whole shebang!


So close to sub 2400 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Yeah, soulfusing some of those armors would def help in that regard!

That's the plan after I get jug 5 on them.

Bonus day, DD5.

That's such a nice stat! Would appreciate if you could share your equipments, since I'm also trying to do imperil dark mage! I assume you are using robe for your prof cotton piece?

Damn! Nice.

6,212 turns 0:33:40 (3.075 t/s)

5,404 turns 0:28:03 (3.211 t/s)
changed my 1H-style from right-handed to left-handed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Greshnik seems to get the lowest turn count out of all of us, he should try on Fridays (void day) that would surely break the 3.5k turns barrier. I'm not sure how he does it with only DD1, maybe he has more upgrades than we realize. I think he uses a lot of Balance armor, which I've also noticed seems to help a lot for DwD.

Probably his Imperil is also upgraded to max. I have Better Imperil, Dark Imperil, and Holy Imperil upgraded as high as possible, but I still cheap out and leave Faster Imperil at 1 upgrade so that the mana cost doesn't increase, so Imperil probably wouldn't help me much right now.

1 Warding, 2 Slaughter, 2 Balance.

Hmm that's not a huge amount of upgrades, about the same as vincento and pure slaughter set (also similar turns result). So I guess the main thing is the use of imperil (max upgraded probably) and also balance armor being extra useful on DwD, which I had also observed on other players earlier (I think it was you, tox01 in particular). Balance armor is probably more useful on DwD than other arenas because getting crits earlier and more often on SG lets you kill them a lot quicker.

I've thought from long ago that balance armor and even balance 1H weapons are underrated. However I'm currently theorizing that at the extreme end of 1H (top end gear, DD9, and max forge on everything) that slaughter would start to perform better even on DwD. At some point you won't need crits or even PA to kill SG with Vital Strike.

Switched to 2 cotton and 3 phase; gave me 4 mins faster time.

Why would you not max upgrade your imperil? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Lv. 361, Friday

got a bit hiccup today which made me miss some VS on SG (and landed on normal monster instead<_<)...

hmm...
I think it's largely because of my low lv...
with equips shown on my signature, it usually around 3.5k turns...
my best record was 3,444 turns, which IIRC when I was lv. 358 on Sunday...
but I think it was a fluke as it really hard to do it again... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

and yeah, I got my Better, Faster, Dark and Holy Imperil as high as I could...
I maxed Faster Imperil because my success rate isn't 100% yet, so I could recast it directly when I failed...

for now, I plan to search for better boots, maybe a slaughter or savage of protection/warding one...

Switched to 2 cotton and 3 phase; gave me 4 mins faster time.

The staff's magic damage is about half way upgraded. Because of the diminishing return, I don't think I'm gonna upgrade it anymore.

I have DD1, IA4, Eminent Elementalist, and Evil Enchantress. Also, Infustion was placed on staff for this run.

No, if I understand correctly, Monsterbation selects Fimbulvetr when its off cool-down.

I think you applied infusion before entering the arena, and that doesn't do anything for mages - because it adds elemental strike to your weapon if applied pre-battle. You have to use it in battle to benefit from it as mage.

All things considered, your magic score is too low on either setup. Maybe share your equipments so we can get a clearer idea?

Also, as elemental mage, you eventually want to go 4+1, while I understand you might feel more comfortable with two cotton pieces since your prof factor is not enough with 1 cotton piece atm.

Sorry if I'm wrong but this sounds like you used the infusion to enchant your staff.

Mage use infusions as battle items.

Yes, I did it wrong; I thought it would have that affect if I enchant my staff. Oops. Time to buy more infusions I guess.
