QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Dec 26 2017, 03:56)  While we are at it, at level <400, putting one Balance piece in your build can't hurt.
Thanks for the attention (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(Setton-san @ Dec 26 2017, 03:12)  Is it worth it to offer the Christmas trophies to the shrine or just sell it for 600k?
If you let me put my situation, I sold the "unique" trophy and shrined the other three ones. I don't know if I got lucky (or it was expected), but I ended up getting actually three legendary pieces of heavy armour. Two plates and, funny enough (as the reply above said it would be interesting to have) one Power Helmet of Balance (although from what I understood "Mithril" isn't a good prefix, but I am still happy to have it).

Got lucky, and kinda paid 400k or so for that Helmet basically, since Plates don't really go for much. If rolls in that Helmet are good, it is a nice piece.

QUOTE(decondelite @ Dec 26 2017, 08:14)  Wrong. DwD is equivalebnt to a T8 trophy, while TT&T is equivalent to a T7 trophy.
How hard is PFD ttnt? I only did it once at IWBTH for the clear bonus. I don't think my armors can support me under so many spirit attacks.

Heavy use of debuffs + weapon skills = can be done. According to some old PMs, I did it at lvl ~257 hadn't neither OFC nor a full mag power set by then. ( ̄ω ̄) EDIT: probably had a full mag power set because I had my first Legendary drop, a Plate at the same week on my checklist that I don't ever remember considering equipping it. Got nothing worth a single Noddly, much less two ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ! so never ever tried doing it again so I know for sure that it was at PFUDOR because it is listed there (´。• ω •。`).

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Dec 23 2017, 22:46)  in case you guys forgot it, IW has bad multipliers for, uh... pretty much everything.
QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Dec 24 2017, 00:07)  @Scremaz: doesn't IW have a good EXP multiplier? If the formula Non-IW_EXP * (PXP0 - 100) * 0.004 is correct a peerless Arcanist should have >1.2 EXP, which is definitely not bad.
QUOTE(decondelite @ Dec 24 2017, 00:16)  As far as I've noticed, IW XP slightly better than arenas, but only because the average amount of monsters per round is greater.
I did tests to compare the experience gain in Arenas and IW (PFUDOR, Stamina < 80). (IMG:[ imgur.com] https://imgur.com/x78sUVG.jpg) The numbers themselves are not important (even because each has a different gain), but the simple comparison between them does. From the above, only IWs up to 55 rounds are more advantageous in terms of gain experience. The only advantage I see of the IW on the Arenas (of the same number of rounds) is that, as the amount of monsters in the IW is higher, statistically speaking the probability of drops in general is higher. Since I do not use scripts, I can not know the exact numbers to make this comparison in the drops. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) In addition to the credits, which are markedly lower in IW, I did not see much difference in the gains from the sale of equipment to the bazaar. So the only advantage it would be for the account of other items (crystals, restoratives, infusions, scrolls, and perhaps tokens and artifacts). The IW can be a good alternative for anyone who is not a mage, and also for those who do not want to spend hours in a row in a grindfest.

no, why? but i agree we need a bit more datas. QUOTE(Basara Nekki @ Dec 26 2017, 04:43)  I did tests to compare the experience gain in Arenas and IW (PFUDOR, Stamina < 80).
hmm... so these datas are partly outdated, uh? https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Battles#Battle_Modes

Can status effects on monsters amplify the damage done by weapons with elemental damage or does the extra damage only count for spells? Thanks in advance.

That bonus very low for melee, if it even exist.

Hey, gotta get the most from whatever you have. There aren't any elemental damage types I'm weak against so my spike shield isn't much use at all defensively but I figured it might be slightly better offensively even if the difference is significant. I'm thinking of using the frost spike shield's effect on enemies might give my tempestuous weapon a little more firepower.

For defense it is not real of any use. But ether you use the spike that fits to the element of your attack, or you use fire.

Not to sound condescending or anything but I'm not sure how this game works and if what I'm trying out is actually affecting the gameplay. I have played games where I had to do some weird rituals for efficiency's sake and I later learned it was a waste of time because it wasn't affecting the gameplay at all. That's why I'm asking the experts. As an example, in Left 4 Dead I used to turn off my flashlights if a witch is around but it turns out they don't care at all and they're more likely to gib you if you're standing next to her rather than shining her face from across the room nam sayin This post has been edited by JFK_360_Noscope: Dec 26 2017, 22:17

It does. I even updated the wiki not so long ago to mention that elemental procs do amplify the power of matching elemental strikes, after going through an appropriate experience to check it.

Greetings Experts. Happy Holidays. If one exceeds the 10/day cap for PA adjustments on one or more days are those excesses filled on the following days? .

If you mean that you can later one adjust more PA, the answer is yes. But if you have to adjust that much, that you actually would care about that, i suggest to just create another persona.

Hey, Uncle Stu. Thanks. When making PA adjustments, I can sometimes get carried away. Have a Happy New Year!
