I've always selected right answer, but lost stamina everytime why is that?
Sorry to hear that the pony quizz is giving you problems. Most players succeed in answering correctly 95% of the time. So just keep trying and use the pony chart. Rest assured, you will not lose stamina when you answer correctly. There are other ways to lose stamina: did you check the wiki?

As an IW weapon potency is Overpower/Counter-parry desirable or should I just reforge it it I get it as a first potency to try getting damage/crit/speed instead?
Also the regeneration bonuses in gold star and hath perk works on the normal regeneration only, the "in-combat regeneration", or they also apply as a bonus to the magic/item "restoration".

Well that depends on the style you want to play. 1H dont have any use for overpower. But afaik it can be usefull for DW.

It's the best potency for DW and 2H (except FRD 2H), third choice (but still okish, unlike swift strike) for 1H.

Thanks. Also, the monsters have a power level cap, but not an upgrade cap?
What I mean is, do I need to min/max or after reaching PL cap I can still raise a stat/mitigations/chaos upgrades?

QUOTE(esam @ Oct 5 2017, 03:15)  Hey all I just unlocked Innate Arcana III, but the third slot is not available in my settings. I have waited an hour. Should I be worried or need I do something?
Server needs a little time "to get" your new Hath Perk. Just wait a little. And no, switching set/personas/settings/etc have no effect - you need just wait a little. Usually no more than half hour.

If you are 1H (guy with weapon in one hand and shield in another), then your potencies are: Fatality > Butcher >>> Overpower >> Swift Strike If you are DW (guy with two weapons) or 2H (one weapon in both hands), then your potencies are: Overpower > Fatality >> Butcher = Swift Strike (ain't, guys and ladies?) You should, however, not bother with getting perfect potencies on your weapon if it is not your long-term weapon. Just get any potencies on trashy weapons and don't mind. If it is, however, some Legendary piece of equipment, then you mind to get best potencies, but do not push yourself too hard here. QUOTE(reality_marble @ Oct 5 2017, 15:23)  Also the regeneration bonuses in gold star and hath perk works on the normal regeneration only, the "in-combat regeneration", or they also apply as a bonus to the magic/item "restoration". Afaik, it applies to regenerations effects your get from restoratives (like draught) and from Regen spell itself. But I might be wrong here. Correct me somebody here.

Yes, even after getting the max Power Level - you still can increase Chaos Upgrades. Stats (STR, DEX, AGI, so on) are part of Powerl Level - so to get max Power Level, you should max them up first (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by f4tal: Oct 5 2017, 17:28

Are damage and crit chance more important than str, agi and accuracy (in this case)?

QUOTE(lololo16 @ Oct 5 2017, 21:23)  Are damage and crit chance more important than str, agi and accuracy (in this case)?  from my limited experience as a DWer, i'd say the important stats for a waki are: parry DEX, AGI crit (useful indeed, but the way it's added up doesn't make its spread so relevant) ADB (useful indeed, but rolls are low to begin with and the 20% penalty makes the difference not so relevant) all the rest. maybe a slight preference for crit if you play as a nitener. in your case, uh... i'd pick the demonic one. too bad those DEX/AGI rolls are so low. you can still try to equip both and see how much Crit varies though.

QUOTE(lololo16 @ Oct 5 2017, 12:23)  Are damage and crit chance more important than str, agi and accuracy (in this case)?  Use the hallow one. My preferences: Ignore str. Ignore acc for a balance wakizashi. Even with the worst roll, it's easy to reach the cap. I prefer killing undeads faster, since celestials are weak. Thus, hallow. I don't recommend balance offhand for niten. The only good about it is some slight extra crit, & most damage dealt by splash & bleed, not offhand strike. 90% off-strike is fine by me.

The PL cap, 2250, is reached when you get +25 for every primary attribute and +50 for every elemental mitigation. https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Monster_Lab#Upgrading

How about bleeding wound? My current waki has 24.7% demonic 23.6 hallowed 23.1 How important is? QUOTE(Dead-ed @ Oct 5 2017, 17:36)  Use the hallow one.

At that time, i used frd when starting the next round, killed 5 before the stun expired (this is where swiftness suffix is useful), & filled overcharge while killing the rest (better survival with nimble here), repeat. Not sure if nimble or swiftness, or nimble+swift strike. Tedious style anyway.

1 per round is enough for me (3 agile pieces) at arenas and maybe +1 or 2 imperil at item world. Then I suppose that suffix doesn't matter when using this style (?

Yes, just aim for high speed & parry. You need to click frd, spirit stance, & imperil... ever considered 1h with power protection set as starter?

Hmm, I never use spirit stance (and imperil just at IW). I can clear T&T in 9 minutes so I don't think it's worth investing in my 1h set (which I seldom use) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

QUOTE(Rand alThor @ Oct 6 2017, 00:18)  What should I aim, itemwise, to build a holy mage?
Your aim should be to incease your income that much, that you are richer than 99% of all other players in HV. I would suggest to choose a cheaper mage style. Holy is the most expensive playstlye in this game. This post has been edited by Uncle Stu: Oct 6 2017, 00:28

QUOTE(Rand alThor @ Oct 6 2017, 00:18)  Got my second legendary holy-cloth drop, thinking seriously about changing to mage: Legendary Charged Phase Cap of HeimdallLegendary Ruby Phase Robe of Heimdall Never played as a mage. What should I aim, itemwise, to build a holy mage? What staff, how many heaven-sent, and how many "of heimdall" gear? And what about stat spread? allow me to answer your questions with another question: do you want to imperil or not? we can say your build will revolve around this

Care to elaborate? Oo QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 5 2017, 19:31)  allow me to answer your questions with another question: do you want to imperil or not?

What is the main difference?Time? If so I would prefer not to imperil, but if it's easier and cheaper, I'll do it.
