That doesn't look right to me... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) ... Probably an outdated info as I said earlier.

Haste from scroll did gives more action speed in the past than from the spell version, but now it grant the same effect (at least that what it said in the battle description) ... So the 'Stronger of the two will take priority' is obviously false. Same goes to Shadow veil. Though I'm not quite sure how SV work if you have both of them at once, but I guess they just stack in a multiplicative fashion.

'Protection' from scroll are completely different from spell version and they work independently from each other. You can have both at the same time.

Spark and Absorb from scroll work alongside with spell version. So if you have both the spell and scroll version of Absorb active, it will basically work like you have 2 absorb layer, with the scroll version at the front (i.e. activate first) and the spell version in the back.


Unless I missed something, like Tenb said something about this in some obscure place (link to the source if anyone want to correct me) ... I'm pretty sure what I said is correct. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well, that's the big question. Previously, using a Scroll would make your action speed hit the cap, so Haste couldn't add anything. Now... who knows? It would be easy enough to find out, though.

I guess I could just answer that. Yes, they stack.

Also found this while rummaging around:

In some far future patch, proficiency will likely no longer affect damage directly. It might affect stuff like cast time, interruption chance, target chaining, the width/length of column and cone AoEs, the diameter/range of targeted/self-centered AoEs, and stuff like that. But since we don't have any of that in today's system, it won't, yet. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh boy. I can already smell the shitstorm.

My other weapon is a ethereal shortsword and shield I got from enemy drops in the Arena, but I don't have much proficiency with it. Trying to farm for ethereal katanas and shade equipment in the distant future.

Well, it probably depends on the stats of the specific weapons, but in a general sense the 2H is probably still the better bet. With larger mobs, Domino Strike becomes vital for sure.
Good luck farming ethereals and shade, I have yet to find one ethereal weapon on my own (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Oh boy. I can already smell the shitstorm.

By the time those features are implemented HV will have 3D graphics and I'll have a flying car (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'm not planing to switch to mage any time soon, but I've been maintaining a mageing set for if/when I do, but I don't know shit about staffs. What should I be looking for when choosing a staff?

Here's all the staffs I own.
Superior willow staff of destruction
Average ebony staff of the owl
Fine oak staff of the earth-walker
Average redwood staff of the fox
Average redwood staff of focus
Average redwood staff of the owl
Fine redwood staff of destruction
Superior redwood staff of the owl
Fair willow staff of the owl

That may, or may not, be a consequence of this ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

...
• Change AoE spells properties to suits their namesake. Example: Tier.1 spells hits a 'cluster' of enemy (IE: 5 max), Meteor hits random monster slot for x times, Chain Lightning bounce from one monster to the next with less damage for x times or until missed or resisted, etc. ... Current mage gameplay right now is so... uninspired. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
  ...

But mage still had the EDB damage bug plus some other back than, hence my request suggestion. If he implement the thing he said back than into the current HV now... Oh god, I couldn't even imagine! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

You've doomed us all! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Well... not really. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

For elemental spells, you will want an Ebony Staff of Destruction. For Holy/Dark spells, you will want a Katalox Staff of Destruction. You will want your staff to have high MDM, EDB, Proficiency, and later when you start relying on it, a good ET rate and duration. When you first start out though, you might do yourself better by finding an Ebony or Katalox (depending on which spells you're using) staff with the Focus suffix, as that will increase your Magic Accuracy to help reduce misses.

I got my 1st Artifact from the Item World where I delved into the Fine Ethereal Shortsword of Balance, which is an ASHPD Portal Gun. Is there any use for the artifact besides offering to the Shrine?

No, so sell those artifacts to players or shrine them.

You could sell it (here or at the Bazaar), but offering it to the Shrine is by far the better option.

Guess I could offer it to the Shrine. If I do end up getting some crystals it would be a waste. See people selling or auctioning off equipment for Credits.

No it's not the better option. Whether the artifact should be shrined or sold to another player depends greatly on what they need most. 100 crystals is the worst outcome for starting players although the probability of that shouldn't be *too* high. I believe a lot of low level players find credits to be lacking. So selling it on the forum is not an inferior option.

Whether the 14k credits or chance at getting +AP/stat point is more important relies solely on the artifact owner

I also got 2 trophies from the Item World fighting Mithra, then Dalek next. It's a toss-up for the artifact. Either I sell it to get credits and train myself in Scavenger or offer it to the Shrine to get something random.

Is the damage of Magic Missle increased by Elemental Profiency (or a other prof)?

Magic Missle ups the staff prof from what I was told.

Yes, seconded on avoiding misses. Those are harsh when you have low proficiency and derived accuracy stats because of nooby-low Int/Wis. 20% miss on 10 custom/boss monsters=Ouch! At least they don't get monsters with PL of 200-500 all the time, LOL.

I got lucky back before CM was nerfed and had a 48% (back when max on drop was reduced to around 40%) staff that could essentially give me unlimited mana in long item worlds. Now that would not be a good strategy at low levels. Only worry about ET chance once you have the stats and proficiency to take advantage of it.

I also remember the fire spell 0-mana exploit back then. Not really useful since you had to be about level 5. I don't even know if it was ever fixed but it's useless after your first day. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Casting Magic Missile will increase staff prof. Magic Missile damage is boosted by elemental proficiency though. https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...st&p=603613
