Thanks bro, worked fine (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

So I'm looking to revamp my character build and stats, and I'd like some advice about how to rebuild myself.

The build of my character being 2H Maces for the stuns

Here is a view of my stats/equips/abilites

So how should my stats be looking at this point? I figured I would throw a lot of points into END for the defensive purposes but it doesn't seem to be working that well, so I'm wondering how I should go about distrubiting my stats to be as effective as possible as a physical attacker.

So I know my abilities are pretty messed up, but I would prefer to keep the EXP bonuses, cause I enjoy them, anything else is open for advice. I took poison cause I'm told that Deprecating magic even as a Warrior build is very useful, but I got rather lazy about it as you can see by my deprecating proficiency. I'm strictly physical as far as attacking goes, but I'm open for suggestion about debuffs to take as well as high priority buffs that I should be skilling.

As far as my armor goes, I'm liking my Shade Light Armor, as I have a few pieces with a hefty +Attack Damage bonus, but I could part ways if someone has a more effective alternative to being a physical attacker.

Any advice for the best way a mage can go into crysfest and make respectable haul of loot: ideal difficulty settings, battle items, level for drop items, etc.

@Bloodmare
Depends on how much damage your phase set does. If you only got gossomer, your highest level prof will be needed.

I was able to do about 30+ rounds on Hell difficulty at around level 200 if you want an idea what I could do then. That was with using Sup mana pots and 1 godly spirit pot in slot 13. That was with a prof in Forbidden maxed + 150 prof from the gossomer set I am using.

It will also depend if you got the crystal hath perks, increase your crystal drops.

This was from the last few days, I reset mine every sunday to tell how much I get a week.

If you can do a few hundred rounds even on normal, there is still a cap on amount you can get.

Take all but 1 point from poison and put it into Weaken. Then take points from exp tanks into silence.

Next, change your stats. Wis should = level. Int 80%. End and agi probably same as level, dex a little bit more, the rest in str.

Finally, replace your shades. In full shade you should have at least 20% evade, not the pitiful 11% you have now. I have a few in my shop if you want.

You should also mix in a few kevlar of protection pieces. Maybe a ratio of 1-4 or even 2-3 if you can manage 20+% evade with 3 pieces of shade (unlikely).

At our level, we never seem to have enough end; Once you're a high enough level, and your evade stat is comfortably high, it'll seem like a mundane worry. The biggest con of 2hand+ shade for lower levels is weapon burden. With an ethereal mace and full shade I have 28% evade; with a 16 burden mace i have 21.9 evade; a loss of 6.1 evade just from the burden of my weapon. I mix kevlar and shade instead.

You should buy some new shade gear. Just looking at your burden, you're using prepatch shade w/ burden. Just wearing new burdenless shade will boost your evade to at least 20% I'm betting. Also, stay away from "negation" suffix shade if possible.

You might want to try out a slaughter mace instead of balance; damage is much better.

I know you said you like the xp boost, but if you have the option of changing, I'd add more to overcharge. If you like to shatterstrike (of course you do, who doesn't) being closer to 50% OC (and able to enter spirit stance again quickly) after shatterstriking is a godsend.

For deprecating spells, you don't need more than 1 pt in poison; it lasts a long time, and more pts only adds duration not damage. Should put 5 in weaken--great for legendaries and annoyingly resistant foes and BT/IWBTH. Silence for the legendaries and gods is also recommended.

I'd put a bit more into wisdom myself, but if you don't have problems w/ mana, not an issue. You don't want to swing any stat too high/low (other than int) as then the costs/gains per xp used are uneven. For instance, you can already see that for your next point of STR, it will probably cost just about the same as getting 2 pts of DEX or 4 pts of WIS.

Most of the heavy grinders seem to agree that anything above normal is shooting yourself in the foot. Just try to get as far as possible on normal seems to be the way to go, I think.

Any advice for the best way a mage can go into crysfest and make respectable haul of loot: ideal difficulty settings, battle items, level for drop items, etc.

play a few rounds and find out how many spells/turns it takes to clear a round. If it takes 2-3 attacks to clear one round on normal see if you can do the same thing on hard then heroic with the same spells. After that see how deep you can go and compare what you get with how long it took.

I never bothered with CF until I got all the crystal perks, I didn't think it was worth the time without them. But you ether want to grind as many rounds as you can as fast as you can or you go a little slower and play on a higher setting. Grinding fast works best if you can one shot stuff, even if you over kill with tier 3 spells.

You can fix it with Stylish ([addons.mozilla.org] FF / [chrome.google.com] Chrome).
This should take care of most problems (including MoogleMail):

Maybe this can included into the wiki, especially for those using customized fonts?

Noob question, how do you use potions in combat? I only see gems.

Noob question, how do you use potions in combat? I only see gems.

you cant use the ones you just found, you need to goto "battle items" and equip them before the battle. in battle you can use F1-F12 or click on "item" and click on the one you want to use.

Whats the best way to go against real life on iwbth as a mage? I imagine magic missile would take forever. But it has resistances to everything but void. Impervious to elemental too.

Plus, they don't exactly have any armor that mitigates soul damage either. I figure if anything, I might have to do that one as a melee.

Feel like I got missed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).

So yea, whats the best way to go against real life on iwbth as mage? This is the last time I post this question regardless of if I get an answer. (really don't want to be annoying with it but like I said, I'll go melee if I have to).

Honestly, thats the only plausible way to do it in my eyes. Use dw void weapons with over 100 prof so you can get that last skill. Pust some ability in overcharge, and use some power armor of slaughter to make it go quicker.

My question is why would you want to fight Real Life on IWBTH?
Generally after you get the clear bonus it's advised to just repeat FSM over and over again for the Noodle trophy.
IMO you're probably right, that seems to be the only way and it definitely doesn't appear to be worth it.

First of all, what's your playing style? From your proficiencies, I gather you're playing as a mage. With that setup, that's a no no.

If you're melee-ing, then you should play 2H at lower levels. It's much faster, especially when your gear is crap (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Also, look in the freebies thread. Lots of people with stuff to give away in there.

Now, if you'd like to give us a little bit more info to work on, like maybe your abilities and such.

I've got a lot of great gear, but don't know what to use. Is there an easy way to post the 165 pieces of equipment that I have.

Just for bragging rights really. I'd love to see it all say iwbth.

@rhudson
Are you trying to be a mage? You need lots of ability points if so. Gossamer of the elementalist would be best. (btw, no easy way to post all equips. you can show a print screen of all their names rather easily but the stats on each weapon matter more).

Regardless of play style, from what I understand slow is not needed. atleast one point in poisen. Max weaken and haste maybe. (mostly haste if your a mage, but it does help melee too).

If your going melee, you don't need those points in fire or ice.

I've got a lot of great gear, but don't know what to use. Is there an easy way to post the 165 pieces of equipment that I have.

Don't try battlecaster style at your level. Stick to either melee or mage.

And buy some equips from WTS. Yours may not worth it, even though you think they're great.

For any style, weaken and 1 point in poison is a must.

If you want to be a melee, but more points into SP tanks and OC tanks.

If you want to be a mage, pick all four types of elemental spells and holy, but don't take those which increase your resistance.

I've got a lot of great gear, but don't know what to use. Is there an easy way to post the 165 pieces of equipment that I have.

Have you tried reading up the wiki yet? It'll give you a clue as to what is a great gear, and it should also be a great guide as to how you should proceed in what direction.

You should also mix in a few kevlar of protection pieces. Maybe a ratio of 1-4 or even 2-3 if you can manage 20+% evade with 3 pieces of shade (unlikely).

Even if he could reach 20+% evade with 3 pieces, I'd suggest to stick to full shade and get all the evade he can rather than mixing in some kevlar. That way he increases the damage output too and makes shadow veil actually useful.
