0 INT wont be a problem since MP pool is based on WIS and the costs dont increase with lower INT.
If you havent already, I suggest you to purchase orbital friendship cannon. It is not very expensive and will noticeably reduce your clear turn count, which means faster runs.

I already have it, but is it worth it actually using it? It doesn't damage schoolgirls that much, and it feels like I'd rather be using that spirit just to stay in spirit stance

lowering INT to 0 wouldn't give that much of a benefit, imo. rather, you'll lose a certain amount of SP points for the sake of, uh... negligible ADB boost, i guess.

rather, about that block thing... can we see your gears, please?

it depends *when* you use it. in case of SGs, the biggest effect will be to wipe away all the small fry around them, yep. you can also try to inflict a 1~2 stacks of PA on them and/or to cast Imperil to boost OFC efficiency, but i doubt you'll be able to one-shot them...

uhu. alright, alright.

yes, shield seems to be the highest priority. a Mag or a low-tier Leg Force shouldn't be that hard to acquire at your level... if you don't mind sinking a few soul fragments, i have a couple Mags to give away.

then, you should at least replace Greaves and Armor for an ADB boost. but first things first, look for a better shield.

I have used almost no soul fragments since starting to play, so I don't mind taking the second one off your hands, thank you.
What range should I be looking for, ADB-wise, when choosing the new armor and greaves?
Also, is that it? DJNoni said I should be able to do it in 20 minutes, but are these equips really making me take three times as much time to clear the arena?

Nah, I said it wrong. Better equip will gradually improve your speed, step by step. In the future, when you start creating a mage build, and after you level up a lot, and after you spent millions on forging mage gear, etc, etc, then (lv 450 or so) you will be able to do it three times faster.

I'd rather stick with Melee since I want to be able to play while I'm barely paying any attention, and even with scripts a mage build looks too involved.
Also, won't 0 INT be a problem? I mean, I still use a shitton of MP and supportive/deprecative spells.

As a fellow long-time melee player, I agree that melee is great for non-attentive play. Playing as mage requires constant use of potions and cures while melee never uses potions and rarely cures, but in exchange you can clear rounds approximately twice as fast as a high-end melee build. Depends on what you prefer.

I personally have bumped my intelligence to 250 just for the extra spirit points it provides. INT by itself doesn't do anything, but the XP required to get it to 200-250 is so negligible that you might as well do it. My next STR upgrade requires 28 BILLION XP, while the next INT upgrade (251) requires 2 million. Drop in the ocean.

And orbital friendship cannon is great. A proper melee build would be able to maintain spirit stance indefinitely anyway, so using OFC just means a few turns without SS until you charge back to the pips required to activate SS. And especially in grindfests, it basically one-shots ~300 rounds all by itself, so you're really only having to kill 700 rounds worth of monsters to beat a PFUDORfest (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

well, of course the higher the better, but i don't know how's the market at your level...

Thanks for the shield, Scremaz
Should I forge block at least up to level 5?
How much do the defense matrix modulators go for?

8~10k each on wtb. something like that.

Striborg's turn count and clear time is comparable to mine, I don't think he needs to get that much stronger. And I'm still using the shield with 25% block chance ehehe, but only for a couple more levels until I upgrade to my replacement 35% shield.

By the way, just noticed I have a shitton of excess lesser equips.
Should I just sell everything under Exquisite, and salvage everything unger Mag?

But then even with bad internet 20 minutes would be achievable.

I agree with the rest, but I wouldn't be that sure on this part.
With 1.1t/s (and mage will probably have even lower t/s) it would be pretty challenging to finish ED in 20 minutes.
In non-element day I can't reliably go under 7 minutes myself, and I have 3+ t/s.

First check decondelite WTB. Low level gear is often valuable!

I'm slightly ahead of you in gear and level, but not by much.

I think your best bet at this point is just to keep an eye out for the cheapest power armor that is close to your level, and at least Magnificent quality. Try to get all your armor with Strength, Dex, and Endurence (don't swear how much, just as long as it has 40-ish or more). Five pieces of gear all giving 120-ish stats each adds up. Pieces with "of Protection" and other defensive suffixes like Warding, or Dampening are cheaper than offense suffixes like Balance or Slaughter, so stick to those.

Watch Kedama's and Super's auctions each week, and keep an eye out for low level (we're considered low level in the lower 300's) power armor that isn't being bid on by others. Try to snag cheap stuff you can wear now or will be able to wear soon (whatever counts as soon to you in your opinion). You can get stuff for the 50k minimum bid (and a slight discount in Super's auctions for bidding early). If you find a piece you can really use, be willing to go a bit higher. Somtimes I see pieces I'm willing to go 150k, or even 250k for.

Your sword is pretty good, the shield you just got is solid. Fill out the rest of your slots.

I'd only really worry too much about the percentile listing for ADB% if you gind a nice piece you'd like to soulfuse. Otherwise just keep an eye on the actual damage value the piece of armor has, and what level you'll be able to wear it. The ADB% just helps you compare, for example, how good a level 200 legendary helmet is compared to a level 500 legendary helmet. If the 200 has higher ADB%, if you soulfuse it, it will have higher ADB at 500 than the one already at 500.

Just to let you know: don't forget to lower your agility enough so that you reach 0 attack speed bonus.
Go for slaughter 1H too. Balance is good only as offhand for the DW style, you're losing a lot of ADB for very little effect. You don't necessarily need a rapier, a shortsword is pretty fine too. But don't take a club or an axe, they're not very good for 1H.

As for your Exquisites and older equipment well... some of them may have a (very) high value. You may want to take a look in the WTB section or to open your own shop. I'd be very interested in them for my part.

Hallo dear Experts here, I know I'm not a new Player mehr, but now I also need your Advice.
Thanks to Knights I can use my new Staff with Spellweaver Lv.4 Penetrator Lv.5 now.
before that I use my old Magnificent Staff with Economizer Lv.5 Penetrator Lv.3 Archmage Lv.1
I use Elec Willow with Imperil, and now I have Problem with Mana Management. That is, If I play Arena till The Trio and the Tree, I can't get enough Mana after using the first Mana Potion and before the second Mana Potion are ready. That means, I can't get 75% of my base Mana back within 40 Actions, If I don't get any Mana Gem and Riddle Master in this 40 Actions. So with my new Staff I play a bit more slowly than with my old Staff.

My Stats are:




And the Perks I have, which may affect the Mana Consume, are:
Vigorous Vitality
Effluent Ether
Eminent Elementalist
Innate Arcana IV
Dæmon Duality I

And my Equipments:
Legendary Shocking Willow Staff of Destruction
Magnificent Radiant Phase Cap of Mjolnir
Magnificent Radiant Phase Robe of Mjolnir
Legendary Charged Cotton Gloves of the Elementalist
Magnificent Radiant Phase Pants of Mjolnir
Magnificent Radiant Phase Shoes of Mjolnir

My Desire is, that I can play Arena only with Draughts and Potion like before, but without Economizer or Frugal. Is that possible? If you can already get it, how can you get it?

Thank you.

Mana management:
1. Aether shards. Don't leave home without them
2. Mana draughts. Always.
3. Potions: Available? Then drink it!
4. More wisdom. less endurance.


That should do it for Elemental mage.

1. Must Aether Schards be used for Arena?
2. Yes, I alway use it.
3. You mean that I should use Mana Potion as soon as it can have its full Effect, but not wait until the Stop-Hover-Line (I set it to 30%)?
4. OK, I will change my Management ones to Legendary ones and forge for more Wis.
