Wow this is the first time I heard that axe can be better than rapier for high level players. I knew axes are not bad especially in DW, but didn't know they could get that good in 1H.

kukrak, oh yeah I guess the Peerless you get from Follower of Snowflake are soulfused. Thanks for pointing it out. I guess the imprisoned level 100 idea still works but there's no need to send 50,000 hath for him to get Follower of Snowflake then. Especially since he can't fight. Guess it would still be an optional incentive for someone to volunteer for this tragic position.

Come to think of it, it might not be so bad to be that guy. Potentially I could see that person becoming the richest person in the game, depending how the economics work out. He will be a level 100 guy with all the best gear (eventually, after a very long time of trading back and forth). And he can raise an army of PL 2250 monsters. I guess after a decade he could decide he is tired of it and venture out and fight.

Also, why do I see mages use a lot of scrolls?

No Mana cost and iirc they last longer.

Well, this is a quite new development, and it is just better in normal arenas, in the SG Arenas is still rapier faster and at least i wouldnt trade damage for parry in any grindfest.

The main reason is scrolls have better effect than spells.

Should I get an axe for PFest spamming?

No. don't get an axe for PFest spamming. Use the rapier for Pfest spamming. And work on your cold gear. With all charged + heavily forged you can do PFfest spamming with cold mage. Then if you are really really strong in 1h melee, you can try a peerless axe of slaugther. That will be a little bit faster. In short: A rapier until you reach near-perfect stats.

Then in Pffest maging: after 300 rounds things get tough. Even for my Very Nice Cool Set. So I use scrolls + infusion of frost after round 333. Because then I don't get spark of life every round.

I thought you can just spam spirit potions and put SoL in an IA slot?

Nope. There's more to maging than that. You need to pay attention and be careful not to die. And you need every consumable you can get. It has positive return on investment, but you need to buy scrolls, elixirs and infusions, and even aether shard every now and again. And I even use flower vase at the last 200 rounds, just because I can afford it.

Iirc SoL has a cooldown.

yes it has. But if you gets Spark of Life every round, you're at the wrong difficulty. I get sparked often, but not every round. It's cooled-down when I need it.

In DW why don't people use two rapiers?
(Wouldn't the damage be more?)

and
is Counter-Attack skill only available to 1h?
(Because I find Counter-Attack to be very useful)

Basically the chance of processing PA is not doubled.

Because you can stack only 3 procs of PA and when it comes to SGs you want both PA and bleeding. Add to this the fact that you'd prefer a waki of the nimble ass offhand to max out the parry.

it's not like you *want* BW for SGs. it's only that, since double PA effect is pointless, one wants to focus on other stats - like parry on wakis or ADB on axes (which *incidentally* bring BW within). or stun on clubs

Guys and ladies, tell me, please, what is good, say optimal "attack speed bonus" for 1H/Heavy?
I have 2.3% now.
Should I decrease it and how much then?

2.3% isn't that horrible, but optimal would be 0% (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

optimal would be 0%

This! So dont use haste. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

2.3% isn't that horrible, but optimal would be 0%

As I thought. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
Okay, will decrease it then. Thanks, guys =)

Due to this and my SDA shield I reduced my agility points to 200. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
