[X] My Assistant

It was started with my desire binding a key to imperil, messing around with monsterbation script.

> The script doesn't work
I must did something wrong.

> Undo changes I made
Still not working. I must forgot something somewhere.

> Go to the script thread, copy a new script. Still doesn't work
> Just realized it is different version of monsterbation.
Must be my browser not compatible with new script, I need it updated

> Update the browser
> Leave the game to do something else
> Back and had the browser updated.
Still not working.

> Copy the older version of the script.
Eh, it sorta work. But my old binding is gone.

> Re-bind old keys
Ok, it's work. Although still a bit strange.



I'm slower by about 500 turns than usual.
Anyway, anybody had problem with hover? It only work if I point to white space on the right of monster name box. It usually triggers anywhere inside monster box. I can't isolate what caused this. Tips appreciated.

Edit: found the problem. I missed old setting hover area.

I should be able to get my turns down a bit once I get around to IW'ing my better Rapier, but I've been too lazy to do that recently. Using a Mag Rapier of Balance instead of a Legendary of Slaughter..

The way I fight seems inefficient at times, but it works most for me right now.

Time keep improving without me changing anything much. No equipment upgrade this week, no hath perk purchase, no ability improvement since 3 days ago (330 imperil was nice).
It's like level 320 to 340 is the time for player to easily get stronger.

As reference:
Leg Hallowed Rapier of Balance | Leg Force of Warding
Mag Helmet of Warding | Leg Armor of Protection | Mag Gauntlet of Balance | Mag Legging of Protection | Leg Boot of Balance

Level 335:

Today I've switched to Evil mage.
This is what I've got for my very first DwD run, with a shitty 0.52 prof factor:

(IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/nLXLGVe.png)

I got my new rapier fully IW'd and tested DwD timing with it, reduced my turns by about 900

Started using Spirit Shield/Protection in my IA instead of Spark/Protection and have been using potions more actively (even got Pack Rat 2 to make sure everything goes right)

Nicely done!

I can clear PFDwD in 15 minutes with 2.3 t/s. How fast I would be with a connection like yours?.

I didn't knew such high t/s was possible for mages. Me jelly.

Thank you.
I was combining my equipment to find a low-cost build that was faster than my melee in all arenas.
Yes, it has 2 Charged pieces, but with Spellweaver potency on a staff it can be replaced with 90%+ EDB plain ones.
Similar in stats unforged Willow of Focus is slower. Imperil resisted count is 1/3 lower, but it doesn't compensate for the loss of damage.
Can't get Penenetrator 4-5 on Willow of Destruction. That Economizer at levels 7+...
Don't have any Redwood...

With 3 t/s it should be around 11-12 minutes. And then under 10 minutes :P
There are screenshots in the last pages with 2.8-3 t/s...

T/s sometimes may higher but clear time is longer... We'll see how it'll change.

3 t/s? Mostly melee users iirc. But yeah, some mages get really close to that (like lololo16 2.8 or qr12345 2.9).
But I don't remember anyone getting higher than 3 like you. But I can be wrong my memory isn't reliable.

Yeah, rounded qr12345's 2.973 t/s to 3. Guilty ;_;

It may drop. T/s is weird that way.
In non-SG arenas I have 2.7-2.8 t/s.

Edit: non-SG arenas bit

No biggie~

← 2.1 t/s in non-sg arenas. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

DWD on normal days:



Cold Mage, DD1

That's fastest t/s I saw for mages, I think.

With melee going over 3.1 t/s with imperiling everything, I do wonder if there's a hover option for imperil that doesn't make you doublecast it, while being faster than pressing 3 keys.
Maybe just the routing issue, I get ~250ms delays on half ajax updates even with 40 ping.

Dark Monday

My counter-SG set of Awesomeness:
The Dark Staff of Awesomeness
Radiant phase cap
Charged phase robe
Radiant phase gloves
Radiant phase pants
Radiant phase shoes

I think I'm doing something very wrong, I keep getting close to dying and having to think about keeping myself alive.

wow, that's slower than my 1H.
I can't read mage's stat, what's your equipments, forge, and hath perks?

I have Protection, Shadowveil, Spark of Life and Haste on Innate Arcana and I've upgraded nothing except the basic ones on my staff. Legendary Ethereal Redwood Staff of Surtr

These are my equips pls no bully I'm poor ;-;


And these are my abilities

Few things:

1.Never, EVER use a ethereal staff. It's complete absolute garbage. Peerless EDB on that shit is barely higher than EDB on a proper Superior staff with matching prefix/suffix. In your case, you should be looking for fiery redwood staff of Destruction. It shouldn't be too hard to find, it's fiery, it's cheap.

2. You need to have minimal forging on your staff to play mage, if you can't handle it, sorry you're not ready for it. By minimal forging, you need at least 50 on MDB and EDB and prof. Staff forging is much more affordable than cloth forging, tho.

Because of the reasons above, your magic score is way too low. It needs to be at least around 15k for comfortable playing.

3. Your proficiency is way too low. You have five phases right now - you need to get a proficiency piece. The best thing is to get it on shoes, but since it seems you can't afford the proficiency perk (4m), maybe you should get a cotton robe of elementalist. You want your proficiency to be 1.7x your level.

When you swap out one of your phase with a cotton, your magic score will drop. You need 15k AFTER you make the change.

Ok some good advice thats exactly what I needed. Also having 50 everything is considered minimal jesus christ feelspoorman.

I'm such a fucking scrub

Yes, unfortunately mage is a rich man's luxury for the fastest clear times. You're better off playing 1H if you're on a tight budget but still want to do things relatively safely & quickly.

You could also play DW or 2H, where the cost of armour pieces isn't too bad, but getting a good weapon and forging the hell out of it is key to even remotely reasonable clear times. (Check out my club - I'm still ~5k turns for DWD clears and 1H players can go a bit faster with considerably less investment)
