If you're not using imperil you should always aim for 1.0 prof.

QUOTE(ALL_MIGHT @ Dec 21 2017, 08:48)  Can cold mage play without imperil(like Holy) if prof. Is high(more than 0.68)?If yes ,how much min. prof. Should be?Thanks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I believe hot and cold mages are on the same boat (*・∀・)爻(・∀・*) here. The usual answer people give is that imperil is better than no-imperil. I tried playing with no imperil during my start, shoes + cap = prof_factor of >1. Took the cap out and put a phase on, imperil all the way, DwD (  ̄ー ̄)φ__ turn count remained around the same at the point, whoever clear speed raised because I was healing less often. If the situation was like that at start, ヾ( ̄◇ ̄)ノ〃 imperil would just improve itself with the time, due to forging the EDB in the phase. For SG arenas most of the turns and time is spent bullying (*/▽\*) schoolgirl, so no matter if you kill the mons without imperil, you would need to imperil the girls, so why not already do it from start?

We serious people now ┐(︶▽︶)┌ and doujin nani complained that people with bad english (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) weren't going to understand advice like that And it takes too much effort to write long texts (ノ*°▽°*), it is hard work actually. On-topic: C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘ sometimes you find in WTS an older patch unassigned item, legendary and such. It follows the same logic as current equipment when you equip it, right? I mean, if it says -20%ADB, it is that base value and scale to current rules?

Yes, the scripts compare based on actual current values. Check all the stats though, most will be quite lower.

QUOTE(decondelite @ Dec 21 2017, 05:22)  See it that way: you spend your time defending with depr spells and curing, but what is your actual, natural defense? Barely any damage mitigation, barely any blocking with your shield, barely any damage to actually kill the monsters (which will help you being attacked less). I'm pretty confident that you'd do wayyy better with a Buckler of the Barrier or a Force Shield, a full Leather of Protection set, and a rapier/shortsword of Balance/Slaughter/Nimble.
With proper offense and defense, you won't need to spam Weaken and all in the first place. And then you won't need to save/restore mana just as much. If you really need to save mana anyway, use draughts, potions and Featherweight Shards.
I'm pretty sure I don't understand the essence of the set you recommend. What's the turn-by-turn play? Maybe it's just my equipment, but I feel less safe with the new set than the original set. Then, what should I focus on, in terms of stats and abilities?

actually around his level 1H + Leather should work well to migrate from 2H + Leather to 1H + Power...

I don't have enough hath to purchase a hath perk that costs more than 250 hath without spending more than a million credits but should I get innate arcana iii now or at a later time because I would rather save up for crystarium ii right now.

Maybe it's just my equipment, but I feel less safe with the new set than the original set. Then, what should I focus on, in terms of stats and abilities?  You should stop using Superior now. Exquisite should be the minimum for all your equipments now. 1H + leather isn't optimal in the long run, but at your level it should be the best you can get. I can guarantee a thing: if you're too afraid to take damage and spend a lot of turns to cast depr spells, that is exactly when the monsters actually tear you apart as you're taking too long to kill them. And if you're not using it already: use Spirit Shield. You may want to use Haste aswell until you feel safe enough in order not to need it anymore. So first change your weapo, your shield and your boots. If you really can't change your weapon, at least get it to potency 10 so it gets Hollowforged. Once you get an Exquisite weapon, don't be afraid of forging it until Forge 5.

I'll go ahead and buy that perk next unless I get a lot of advice saying something else is better to get now instead. QUOTE(Scremaz @ Dec 21 2017, 11:03)  i have a few hath laying around too, since i'm halfway for a perk but didn't decide which one yet. need a loan?
Yes.

No, get Innate Arcana III. Crystarium is useless for someone of your level. After Innate Arcana III, I recommend Tokenizer I.

Crystarium II will turn 2 crystals in drop to 3 crystals. ┐(︶▽︶)┌ Don't buy it yet. Calculate __φ(◎◎ヘ) all your crystal gains tomorrow. If you use monsterbation, it is already there after each RE/Arena, just add it all. Half of that * 3,3 would be your estimated profit per day if you add Cryst II. Now you know how much time it would take you to regain the investment __φ(..) considering the current hath price.
Ask yourself: is waiting this time to make a single credit of profit (¬_¬) really worth passing something else for?

I don't really want to get Innate Arcana III right now because it's not like I am a mage or something that will really need a perk like that instead of sticking with Innate Arcana II for a while longer. How good is Innate Arcana III for a 1-hand sword and shield user like myself compared to Innate Arcana II? This is just my opinion but I consider Tokenizer I to be less useful for me than getting more crystals for myself which I could always sell and for my two monsters to use at the monster lab.

Any Crys is a long therm investment. But you should forget the immediate effect it can have when you actually get some crystals to upgrade your monster without the need to buy CP. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Total worthless if you ask me. I did buy Arcana III a long time ago and didnt use it since nearly the same time and i will never see that Hath again. Well Tokenizer I i total worth it. When you actual have the Hath i suggest buy it. It makes it so much faster to unlock more monster and get more profit out of the Monsterlab. This post has been edited by Uncle Stu: Dec 21 2017, 23:04

Indeed ( ˘▽˘) but I made Arena lvl 180 just now, and got 660 crystal with Cryst III.
So it would be 132 Cryst at 0, 264 at I and 396 at II. If he makes that arena once a day he would profit 160k credits in the end of one year by getting Cryst II compared to his gains with Cryst I.
I will make a DwD + ED + EoD + TTaTT after the dawn and repost back (*´∇`)┌θ☆(ノ>_<)ノ my crystal gains so it is easier to calculate.

You can salvage/bazaar them without regrets, or try to sell them if they are low level (like <300) Legendaries.
