Well damage of the Mag is okay, parry is quite a bit low. And the lack of an element really hurt. I would say, fuse it just if you have more then enough fragments atm. But you should really replace it quick with a rapier with element. TBH i havent seen a nonelemental rapier for a while, didnt thought that would be even possible any longer. Also i would not recommend the use of shielding plate. I know it sounds good at first. More block, means more attacks that dont do any damage. But as i see it, that little bit higher block chance is the lack of the bonus damage just not worth it. I mean maybe you could use a single piece or two to compensate the lower blockbonus you have at your level. But i really suggest to avoid a whole shielding set.

Neither. You should soulfuse and use this one. Its in your MM. A bonus for creating my ultra cool catgirl icon. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Protip: you want an elemental rapier, not an ethereal.

True, but this one is better than everything he could use otherwhise at the moment. So even i would say, use it for the moment and hope for a good elemental-strike at the end of IW. Also beggars can't be choosers. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

But elemental rapiers have burden, which is favourable to 1H playstyles and can be completely negated for DW playstyles with a featherweight shard. Furthermore, with an elemental you know what elemental strikes you will get at IW10 (the already existing element+void strike), while an ethereal is a random pick between the 6 elements added to the void strike.

or.. You can IW to 9, and then pick 2 to infuse before play.

Read the wiki? I mean, you can't really expect anyone to make a summary of all the information needed to start maging (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) If you have doubt about the equipments needed, the gameplay or anything else just ask the specific question.

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Sep 3 2017, 23:52)  just in case... https://ehwiki.org/wiki/HentaiVerse_Advicehttps://ehwiki.org/wiki/HentaiVerse_Advice_Advancedplus, iirc somewhere there was a graph (a block diagram, perhaps? or an algorythm?) which helped people picking their element... I had some nilfheim phase in my inventory already so I decided to go ice. Actually I have read all of those and reached prof 230 already but I still have some doubt. 1. So no staff bonking monster's head? No means completely not, not rarely. 2. Maging is pretty much spamming spells of my chosen element? 3. Do I need to Imperil? 4. What spells are recommended to put into IA? Currently I'm putting SoL and Protection to farm proficiency. 5. I won't be upgrading armors much. Should I be looking for a Charged or Radiant Phase? 6. Do I need to cast anything apart from my element spells and Imperil?

1. completely not. staff prof is awarded as long as a staff is equipped now 2. yes. put them in chain rotation (in the order T3 > T2 > T1) and cure/rebuff/chunk potions when needed 3. yes. elemental mages have to. 4. it depends how many slots you have. personally i'd say Spark > Shadow Veil > Spirit Shield > Haste > Protection. but i may be slightly wrong. 5. it depends whether you want to do more arenas or more GFs. or at least, djnoni said so ther other day... 6. supportives. probably a couple of deprecating ones, but only in critical situations. btw, now you have to go with Arcane Focus, not Heartseeker

they are not so relevant, but usually Holyproof and Fireproof are considered the best mitigation potencies (due to many Celestials and Dragonkins respectively). note that if you already have one of those in the prefix you cannot earn it through IW though - not that it matters, since equip roll > potency lv5

So when a piece is allready cobalt it will never gain coldprof? Never noticed that, but good to know. Well in that case i wont waste any shards on the shield and just be happy with whatever i get from snowflake the IW goddess. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
