Been awhile, I have leveled up quite a bit so I think it's the time to ask for advices again (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Here's my character's stats: [attachmentid=12746] and abilities screen: [attachmentid=12747] Also, my current melee gears: [MH] [OH] [Helmet] [Body] [Hands] [Legs] [Feet](I'm still looking for good Kevlar feet piece; no luck just yet though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) I personally think my prof is too low for my level, probably because I only level up by fighting the high difficulty hourly encounters. Don't know how to work around that though, I really don't have enough time to complete Arenas everyday or stick in Grindfest for hours and hours... So what do you think? What can be improved?

QUOTE(wrinty @ Mar 22 2012, 02:05)  So I decided to see exactly what you Bazaar campers can get by going to the What a waste... thread. Apparently, you guys can get one of the items I'm trying really hard to get... Superior Ethereal Mace of SlaughterSeriously, looks like I should Bazaar camp too when I'm desperate. I'm not camping. I actually look through the bazaar to post new min/max ranges for Skillchip. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Seriously though, I was screaming hallelujah at that one. You're not gonna see that happen often. I had done an arena, and just quickly took a look through the pages before selling my crap drops. Lucky enough to click buy before someone else. You can often find good deals on 1handers and non-scythe/katana 2handers (and ethereals every now and then). Low Level phase sometimes under 10k , and high(er than me) level shield armor under 20k, sometimes power armor too. You'll never find good kevlar or shade for cheap though; they're always over 30k. The scythe i'm using right now is also from the bazaar; better stats than ones i had bought in wts, but damn it cost me a pretty penny. I hesitated before buying it, but since it's hard to find the really high wdb+bleed scythes--those are usually fought over in auction--I decided the price was worth it.

What can be improved? it can't be helped if your prof is low; that's what the tradeoff is for leveling faster. 2nd tier DW skill is not very good anyway. But getting it up does really help the damage. You might try to find an off-hand wpn w/ a bit more parry; I feel yours is a little low. Try a nimble dagger or rapier and see if the +acc/+dmg is not too bad. Club's damage is good, but proc is a little low. I just took a look at your gear; get a new breastplate. the phys abs/miti is too low, the +piercing barely worth it. Protection suffix all the way.

I actually have another club: Fine Club of Slaughter. Great proc chance and duration but the damage and crit rate fall short to the Superior one. Anyway, with my 24.8% crit chance, the proc rate is still not too shabby with the Superior club; not at the level that I could be concerned. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And yeah, I'm proactively looking for a new rapier but haven't seen a good enough one that could replace my current rapier yet. That "of Deflection" breastplate is gonna be replaced soon. If I win a new piece at that auction. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Also, I noticed that before level 110-ish, my stats have always been under my level, even with my Int kept at current level - 3; now they are catching up and even surpassed my level. Kinda interesting. Edit: I forgot to say thanks *doh*. Thank you very much for your answer, etothex! This post has been edited by Kagoromo: Mar 22 2012, 20:16

You might also look for a better piece of shade or 2. remember that those give +dmg/+acc (shadowdancer also gives +crit). Your evade will improve, and if you replace the chest w/ a really good protect piece, you'll have leeway w/ your abs/mit.

Sorry for sounding retarded, how do you buy an item off the item shop? I click on it, it shows the credit on the bottom, but I can't buy it.

You do need to ensure that you have enough credits to purchase that item in the first place. When you can purchase, the (IMG:[ g.ehgt.org] http://g.ehgt.org/hv050/img/shops/accept_d.png) will now appear highlighted in yellow (IMG:[ g.ehgt.org] http://g.ehgt.org/hv050/img/shops/accept.png).

I have more than enough credits, and somehow horribly wrong is going on, because I don't see the "accept" button anywhere. ;(

Are you able to scroll the window up/down? If not, close that window, go back to the main page https://e-hentai.org & re-open the HV as a new tab, you should be able to then scroll up/down, see the accept button & buy what you want.

The only times I can't see image-based button in HV is when I access HV by Opera mini on my cell, with image disabled (doh!). Sooo your problem is pretty weird.
Anyhow, before choosing to spend your credit on Bazzar's items, you should take a look in the WTS forum first. It's likely that you will be able to get decent equipments with way better price than the in-game Bazzar.

Thanks for the quick replies. There is no scroll available, and I closed the window and reopened it; still no accept. I'm just trying to buy pots, don't have enough credits to buy most WTS items on the boards.

Well.... 1. What's the browser you're using? Firefox/chrome recommended. IE may suck. 2. Pots are usually cheaper in WTS than bazaar.

Which browser are you using, FF/Chrome/IE? I just tested on all 3, & I did notice that for IE, if your HV is opened directly from the main page as a separate standalone window, it does not allow u to maximize the window, hence u WILL NOT be able to see the accept button. edit: ninjaed by varst, the ninja master.

Awesome, problem solved; thanks everyone for the help!
Another noob question, am I supposed to be smashed in 3-5 rounds in grindfest due to having no armor?

Yes. Have you decided on what style of play you want? Check out varst Some general advices for more info. Once you have decided, you can proceed to request for some free gear from the WTS forum, there are quite a number of Freebies shops now opened.

Eventually you want to focus more on evade, but for now if high ab/mitigation gets the job done, don't fret. I only worry about extra damage if this happens a lot--you hit a mob and expected it to die in 2 hits, but it survived with just a bit of hp instead. It's annoying to have to waste several extra turns killing guys with a sliver of hp left. In the end, and if credits allow, mix only if you feel the hit in abs/miti in exchange for dmg/acc/evade is acceptable. 1 or 2 pieces of shade might help, but until you go ethereal wpns the burden will be too high to make better use of evade.
