That's a solid improvement, since your first clear a few days ago that's 2794 turns quicker! Did you change any equipment, or improve on your strategy? Or both?

Either way, congratulations.

Last time he switched to using Vital Strike and improved from 8500 to 8000 turns. As a shortsword user, perhaps he was not used to Vital Strike yet though and might not have gotten full effect out of it like you did (6000 to 4800 turns). From my spy peeping technique in the shower I believe he switched his equipment. Went from fiery shortsword to demonic rapier, also switched shield, gloves, and pants. Also today is void day so he will be over 5% faster.

If he switched to rapier, that's a lot of damage over time he's inflicting from somewhere else. I haven't used a rapier in a while so I could just be mistaken, but don't recall having DoT with it? He does have some spells listed though, so maybe it's from them.

Edit:looking at how small it is compared to his damage, it is more likely to be from spells. I get about 12% from my sword.

Has he gone to a slaughter rapier? I'm not about to argue which is better between SS or Rapier, but there shouldn't be that much of a difference between them, it wasn't a slaughter shortsword he was using so I can see the difference coming from the suffix as opposed to weapon type. Either that, or the adb boost from his new armour was significant.

Using Impulse

+300 turns

-1min

nice (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Why would using impulse save more time?

imperil, perhaps?

I can't speak for mages, but impulse does speed up real time (for me at least) as 1h imperil. It doesn't reduce turn count, but it improves t/s as it's quicker to impulse stragglers than it is to use 1/2/3 keys I find

Two changes to my equips, started using the demonic rapier I posted and swiched to slightly better Gauntlets.
[213863432] Magnificent Power Gauntlets of Protection (Level 302, MMit 24%)

The biggest improvement was from finally understanding that sword and shield wasn't about durability but the counters.
Swiched out auto cast haste and shadow vale to Spark of Life and Spirit Shield.
I should have done more reading up. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

That definitely explains things. It's more painful until you get decent gear or more levels, but it does wonders for your speed. I used to do the same at first, and was doubtful when I was advised to stop, because I was constantly getting sparked, but after a few tries I realised that I was getting sparked less without shadow veil, because any monsters that would special attack me would be dead from counters before they got enough oc more frequently than they could survive it.

That mostly applies to arenas though, shadow veil and haste should still be useful in later grindfest rounds, or IW if it becomes a struggle.

sorry. wrong post.

How could I do to make my picture in normal size?

use "embed into post" instead of "add into post"
but you're doing us a service if you "add" instead of "embed" like what you used just now when your pic is equal or more than general screen resolution, so maybe start resizing it to somewhere below 600~800 pixel width before you start using embed. You know, small enough that it won't stretch the page width when it's posted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That was becoming such a problem with this thread in particular that I wrote a script to deal with it...

CODE

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Forum Image Resizer
// @namespace    FIR
// @version      1.0
// @match        https://forums.e-hentai.org/*
// @grant        GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==

var a = document.querySelectorAll("img[alt*=Attached]");
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
    a[i].style = "max-width: 100%";
}

(I'm aware this should be doable with normal CSS, but the img tags themselves have style attributes and for some reason, even giving it !important wasn't overriding it in my browser... so I just had to change those style attributes, instead)

Thanks lestion
I'm using that script now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

DD6, 1horse, using flowers and bubbles.

Even though 5-10turns were caused by mistake(did not add bubble and flower immediately), it was far away from my data at level 450. When I was level 450, then daily test data were between 500-525turns. My best record was 499 turns in lv453 created in one Friday, with the help of 3 horses.

Is this using your willow or a redwood? that's incredible!!

using my LAWD, but a 5+4(crit damage) IW.

[attachmentid=136143]

With the same EDB, INT and WIS.
In bubbleXflower mode, Mystic is better than Radiant before 35 foreged.
In general mode, Mystic is better than Radiant before 15 forged.

However, Mystic equips is much cheaper, and cost less to forge.

That's a much bigger turn difference with and without Vital Strike than me. I had to think about it, but I came up with the explanation: it's because you use Shortsword. I play non-Imperil Rapier. In general the styles are close, but if you are going to beat down SG without Vital Strike, the rapier will be way faster because PA stacks up to 3 (and you can stack Imperil on top of it if desired) while Imperil is like 2 PA.

I'll quote my old tests for your comparison.

When I feel up to it, I'll try with a rapier. I'll IW it to 9, and use holy+dark on the same days. I'm more than willing to be corrected, but I don't think it being a rapier will close the 1000 gap of using vital strike. The better adb on a SS and extra damage of bleeding wounds should make the difference closer than a simple 1pa stack difference. That's just my gut feeling, not backed up any numbers, which is why I'll test it.

Edit: for clarity, I'll use the same conditions, infusions, aether shard, and imperiling. My rapier is shit, but I'm comparing it against itself anyway.

Same days as last time, sale holy/dark/void on weapon, just with rapier this time
Without vital strike: 7043 turns 0:45:38 (2.572 t/s) 3 horses
With vital strike: 5426 turns 0:45:02 (2.008 t/s) 1 horse

n.b. the turns in both cases are a lot worse than my shortsword turns, but this isn't due to the differences between short sword and rapier, but due to my short sword being much more forged and better rolled, I'm not making this comparison to say that one is better over the other.
