Just my luck, as soon as I soulfused with a shield, I dropped a comparable one of my level...

Should I keep this https://hentaiverse.org/equip/79965018/c133e416a0
Or substitute it with this? https://hentaiverse.org/equip/145717688/1e5a8a44d5

Mainly, the STR bonus on the second one lures me in, but I see they're comparable otherwise...and since it's soulbound, it's going to level with me, right?

I wouldn't have soulfused the first one, but stick with it for now since you did. The other shield looks like a downgrade.

Your shield is basically a block stat. Everything else it provides is gravy.

the block on the soulfused one is higher. plus, it has more useful PABs (DEX and END - you may upgrade them as well, btw). stick with that.
as for the lv308 one, try asking decondelite.

he *had to*. it was bounded at lv365 or so.

Stick with your soulfused one.
The other one... meh it really has got nothing for it except being "force". I wouldn't even buy it (nor anyone else would), so salvage it for high grade wood and a few energy cells.

And yeah, as scremaz said, it'd be wise to raise other stats than the block chance. You already spent 5 damn defense matrix modulators for it, so make them worthwhile!

Hello there xperts,

I'm not convinced Vigorous Vitality, Effluent Ether, and Suffusive Spirit will meaningfully improve my gameplay. You see, HP is so easy to lose, as it was as easy to recover (2 special attack landed, a single cure). Can you convince me to buy them? What's your experience?

Or, what perks is more rewarding than those three bar improvement?
I have IA3 & Postage Paid (HAHAHAHA, I finally got it!!)

Thanks.

Two special attacks isn't all that much. Higher HP lets you handle actually difficult content. It turns rounds that spark you into rounds that don't, and so on.

mods do their best now and are preparing. Please wait warmly until it is ready
the new threadings, let me ask in this on from now (o^ ^o)

what would be the costs-benefits main/off hand combo for DW? ヘ(>_<ヘ) ￢o(￣‿￣￢oﾒ)

DW ppl seems to clear SG arena faster than me, and as getting new internets next week ( yay!ヾ(・ω・`)ノ ) so putting mage on side for a bits because upgradings is expendings

what would be the costs-benefits main/off hand combo for DW?

erm... you're asking which may be the best weapons for a DW set, right? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

best = expensives

wants something that can works well ,,((( ￣□)_／ ＼_(○￣ ))),, but i can afford
like, would non-ethereal axe slaugh + rapier of balance be good to invest in insteads of ethereal club + rapier of nimble? don't have much money to buy+ forge then upgrades later

if you're on a tight budget, just go with rapier of slaughter + waki of nimble. a mid-tier waki of nimble may cost 50k (maybe a bit mor eif ethereal, but not *much* more) and you can simply feather the same rapier you use for 1H, in case it's not ethereal. it should be enouh to give you a glimpse of the style.

as for armors, go for Savage of fleet or plain shadowdancer. cheap enough and still efficient.

If you don't mind needing a round to cure I would say Vigourous Vitality it's definitely not for you, as are all the other perks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
You get them because they have a chance (good in some cases, bad in other) to help you save rounds.
If you think that having 10% more health and curing 10% more will not help you much is fine if you don't get it, but by that logic you will get pretty much no perk at all.

thanks ヾ(=`ω´=)ノ”

Ehehe why reserving so many threads in Ask the Experts 2018 can't you just use your mod powers to shove them in afterwards? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We could. We can do ANYTHING! MwoohahahaHAHA!

(nah - this way is much easier)

would non-ethereal axe slaugh + rapier of balance be good to invest in insteads of ethereal club + rapier of nimble?

Club/axe + rapier are better and cheaper than rapier of slaughter + waki. You don't even have to forge your club (just lv.5), a decent IW is enough

I see
I see (＾• ω •＾)
Of course by decents IW you means FatBut (*ﾉωﾉ) or DW benefits from Swift (seem some ppl with it on their signatures weapons)

Swift strike is good when you don't have a waki.
Two days ago I IWed my club without reforging and got this. Then yesterday I tried End of Days and cleared it in the same time as always (0:12:30), but without any BoS. Today I bought 20 and made it unsellable...

Of course by decents IW you means FatBut (*ﾉωﾉ)

on a mainhand club, yes. on an offhand, fatality and overpower. on whatever mainhand, go for a combo of butcher, fatality and overpower.

DW benefits from Swift (seem some ppl with it on their signatures weapons)

DW already has plenty of speed on its own. if you use a waki, you can reach 30%. if you use whatever else, 20% or so. so i'd say not swift is not needed - unless you want to go for FRD style, in which case you need around 30%

With 4 savage (no shadowdancer, though) and 1 agile I have:
50.6% crit chance / +80 % damage
21% attack speed bonus

and with 3 savage and 2 agile:
50.6% crit chance / +77 % damage
23.8% attack speed bonus

I've tried many times and the second set is always better

depends on your level. your level will dictate what type of monsters you end up going against (and their chaos token upgrades) and what stats are actually significant/relevant (evade/phys mit/adb/etc)

that is why you experiment and find what works best for you

Swift strike is good when you don't have a waki.

Swift strike sucks whatever the playstyle. Fatality will always be the best, then it's butcher or overpower, depending on the playstyle. But in all cases, swift strike lways ends last.
