QUOTE(f4tal @ Sep 11 2017, 13:25)  Sounds fair enough, but the "random"-word ruins all fun =(
it's tied to riddlemaster, and riddlemaster *is* random. however Extra Strength could another useful investment if you have all those mobs already, yep. consider that when (if) you'll purchase a gold star they'll become 80...

yep. one proposal was to close this one, keep it as sort of memento and start a new one for this new meta. not feasible, i guess...

Should I upgrade SP Tank for mage build? AFAIK SoL depletes a percentage of spirit when it activates so SP Tank seems useless.

Depletes a percentage of base spirit so SP Tank is essential. Playing mage without SP Tank is suicide.

So at max SP Tank, it's effectively 25% SP depletion?

When my spark triggers, I think I remember losing like 1/2 2/3 of my spirit bar, because spark triggered and spirit shield kicked in too (usually), if I don't have a big SP pool. Not having SP tank as mage is suicide, and frankly I'd recommend boosting the sp pots aswell, given how fast the SP bar depletes. It's not like you can't afford it at your level, right?

The strikes are just side dishes.

Might take quite some time until I train enough Ability Boost so I want to reallocate some points from abilities I don't use much. This post has been edited by as013: Sep 11 2017, 18:25

What weapon would you guys recommend me to one shot monsters (not school girls) in Normal mode? I was thinking in getting a 2H weapon to get rid of them quickly. I'm currently using 1H/Rapier, it's safe but I'm not sure if it's the fastest way. I highly doubt I'll be dying in Normal mode, so playing safe is not necessary, I'm guessing...

a holy staff. otherwise if you still want to through the 1H route, maybe a hallowed/demonix axe? a hallowed/demonic longsword? even if perma-spirit and counter-stuns may be more valuable than sheer ADB... This post has been edited by Scremaz: Sep 11 2017, 21:35

Does anyone remember when we talked about the proficiency slots for dark mage? It wasn't too long ago, just after 0.86 patch I think... But I can't find it in this thread.
Or I'll ask again: what slots will get a lv500 dark mage a 0.8 prof factor with good gear not peerless?

iirc someone said shoes and gloves... btw, a calculator for a minimum prof shouldn't be too hard to realize... This post has been edited by Scremaz: Sep 11 2017, 22:37

Almost ready to give up (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif) Mine took 226 amnesia shards when done by vivi with the dark descent hath perk a half year ago. At the time, I thought that this was within the normal range, but a little more than average.

Hi guys, I'm certain it's in this thread somewhere but it's a chore to search through.
What is best Potencies set-up for a 1H? Is it Butcher-5 and Fatality-4? And if I were to run DW set-up, is it the same between both weapons?

It is because both you and I still remember playing at a very low level. At our current level most monsters have maxed elemental resistance. Read my earlier explanation again. In theory cold strike could be the best, especially if you cast imperil. But I still like dark and holy strike best.

226 amnesia as total payment or ~10m + amnesia as total payment? QUOTE(DJNoni @ Sep 12 2017, 00:08)  200-500 amnesia shards, and a couple of days non-stop grinding. I think in the old days Super used to do it for 6m or so, iirc.
So more like ~6m, hm. This post has been edited by Benny-boy: Sep 11 2017, 23:18
