I agree with this. Although IMO in order to clear higher arena at BT ... Smart-playing, Finesse, and a good preparation & planing are required.*

The sad thing is that... The killing speed is, as far as my experience tell me, no different than just using eth mace... And using mace is significantly easier. So, why bother... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

No planning is required if it's only BT. The last time I did Trio on BT with my ethereal scythe, I clocked it to be 12 minutes flat.

Nah, mace is actually one of the slower ones. Among scythes, maces, and estocs, assuming all ethereal, the fastest is scythe, then estoc, and finally mace.*

*This might not apply on lower difficulties where monsters die in 1-2 hits.

The lv difference (of monster) might have something to do with it. For one, I'm not at the point that estoc (more precisely, PA) would be faster than mace yet, though I did suspect this maybe change in the future.

Meh... I'm suck anyway, so... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Current Training:
AL: 170/300
Assim: 3/10
AB: 64/100
Scav: 27/50
LotD: 10/25
QM: 7/20

Which should be next?

Scav and LotD, but that's my personal choice.

What are the max base EDB and max base Prof for Gossamer and Phase gear? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Add ~0.20 to everything

I do all the arenas without multiple legendaries, with what ever I feel like using. Ethereal Scythe or Estoc.
When in arenas that are Legendary after legendary, dualwielding is the fastest.
In the level 300 arena, I used to use mana elixirs, now I use an illithid scythe.

In arenas without multiple legendaries, I use a 2-handed non-stunning weapon and autocast:
Haste
Ptotection
Spirit Shield
Shadow Veil

In arenas with multiple Legendaries, I dualwield and autocast:
Haste
Spirit Shield

In level 300 arena I use illithid scythe and autocast:
Haste
Spirit Shield
Protection

I also equip 1 spirit elixir here and the rest are godly mana potions-

What should I invest my abilities in as plate user, at very start? Someone told me to not to do exp, and spirit seems useless. Is ele resist any good?

health/mana tank, aura slot. If you go melee you'll want to use overcharge, it adds to your damage.

This is what I can tell you.
Do not wear cloth
Do not wear plate
Use Light armor with as high physical mitigation PERCENTAGE as you can get.
Stay alive using Regen(2)

I know you don't have good light armor at the start.
But If you make a thread in the WTB thread, asking for high physical mitigation light armor, the nice people will most likely give you some for free. I would.
It's what I use.

Exp, health and mana are all important. I didn't know shit when I started.
I would put some in exp. That levels you faster, there's also exp multiplier in bazaar trainer.
But overcharge makes you do more damage. I really can't say.
Don't believe me anyway.
Once you can autocast something. Autocast: Protection and Haste.

I cannot do hath, I cannot do forward port thingy.

Is it possible to 1-2 shot normalfest with a 2H weapon and a mage stat build?

Physical or magical?
Cloth/Light/Heavy?

Pestilence + Purge seems to take care of things pretty well (Shade + Ethereal Estoc)

I was looking at HV equipment calc. Looks good, but... How do you guys tell things such as "this item has bad stats" or "this item has close to max stats possible"?

Lurk moar.


I'm not trolling. This is serious answer.

Experience.
There's no express way to success.

Mage stats + light/heavy armor + 2H melee weapon (no spells, just whacking).

I tried that, and the answer is simply no.
Still need about 10-15 wracks to clear a round.
(And I've adjusted my stat so that STR/DEX equals to my level)

It could be done if your 2H prof are high + scythe, I think.
