[X] My Assistant

I just reached level 90 and learned Absorb(4 points in it).
Then I tried to use it in battle but did not see any effects from it.
Was something wrong with it or it just has a very low chance to provoke?

EDIT: Sorry, please ignore me.
I just understood what's the problem there. It only works with magic attack. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hm....if you want absorb to activate, you must:

1. make sure that one of the monsters is using magical attack. Magical attack is rare: only elementals and few bosses and above have this as a special attack.
2. be hit by the magical attack. So you can't evade/block/resist it.
3. be sure that the magical attack don't crit you. Absorb won't work on crit spells.
(you can avoid crits by casting bewilder, but what's the point?)
4. be lucky. There's a 75% chance it activates.

So...think about it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

By the way, its better to use the scroll of absorption. At least the scroll version has 100% activation chance.

Although I found the reason before I read your reply, you information is very useful.
I think I should reset my ability points now.

So, I can submit the lv160 axe for new max weapon damage & max burden?

think it fits for new max damage for non-slaughters. Not burden though. I posted a 12 burden axe some time ago. Post it in the equipment range thread please.

Done.

Superior Axe of the Illithid

New max weapon damage for non-slaughters - 33.76
Current wiki data - 27.02

Meh, I still think doing the aura upgrade is still worth it for more reasons than the exp. If you are switching from mage to melee or vice versa, you do need to use different auras. But it seems like a waste to just let something you unlocked and maybe even get a level or 2 in just sit there. It helps with the primary attributes too. Some give the evade, crit bonus and what not. They are all useful.

Plus like some one said, its easier and faster to max it out because its only 5.

What is a good level of training for Adept Learner to attain, especially now from my current level, lv111?
I do not have enough nor any (currently) AP to tank the EXP Ability Tree.
My current status is 94/300.

Its whatever you want. I heard 100 is a good number to get.

I'm not really too worried about leveling up though. The random battles on iwbth give insane amountes of exp. Do about 4 of them and you level up pretty much. (give or take depending on your level). I think it was 3 and I leveled up when it was first changed. Now its about 5 or 6.

Honestly, I would rather put my credits into scavenger or any of those other ones similar to it.

are the Nerf speels good for power tanks 2 ?

I'm having these 2 katalox staffs:
Fenrir staff
Destruction staff

When using fenrir staff (all other pieces are the same)
Magical Attack 828.9 base
Intelligence 298
Wisdom 281
Holy EDB 76.0 %
Dark EDB 65.8 %
Divine prof 99.80
Forbidden prof 94.50

When using destruction staff
Magical Attack 915.4 base
Intelligence 295
Wisdom 279
Holy EDB 72.7 %
Dark EDB 40.7 %
Divine 93.20
Forbidden 87.90

Basically the destruction one seems worse in every aspect except for better magical base damage. So which one is better at actual spell damage? I'm not talking about accuracy or ET, just pure magical damage. Can't really compare in actual combats, because of different monsters each time

Use this formula to determine which is better
Magical Attack*(1+EDB/100)*(1+Prof/200)
Fenrir (holy): 2023.68
Fenrir (dark): 2186.84
Destruction (holy): 2317.59
Destruction (dark): 1854.03

So if you are rotating dark/holy you should probably use the Fenrir staff, but if you are just trying to blow things up with holy then use the destruction staff

I'm planning to buy a new staff, and I'm a little unsure about which stat I should priotize, should it be magic damage, elemental proficiency, or magic crit?

Depends on multiple factors, your proficiency, other gear, current magical attack damage, ect. Focusing on magic crit is not very helpful. If your profs are low then getting a prof staff with high proficiency can sometimes be better then getting a destruction staff because of the cross multiplication of mage damage.

So for any staff you will want it to have decent bonuses in all three categories, with the typical priorities being MDB > EDB > Prof

Its whatever you want. I heard 100 is a good number to get.

Thanks.

I asked on a different thread but etothex pointed this place out to me, so i'll just copy and paste my last post.

"So i've had an account for a while now but never really played hentaiverse until about a month ago, and to be honest i have no idea what i'm doing. I hit level 42 by just grinding in the grindfest but i'm sure i'm missing out on a lot of content that i don't know about ._.

So, basically... is there any tips or information you guys can tell me about? I got pretty addicted due to my insane imagination CG'ing all of these fights in my head rofl xD

thanks for replying.

Oh also i know about ability/aura points and stat points so i don't really need filling in on those... I'm a seasoned gamer, just not to hentaiverse."

so,yeah. I don't know what i'm missing out on but i'm sure theres more to this than what i'm using...
Thanks for replying.

I have not seen a single ebony staff of focus with mana conservation, are those staffs obsolete with the last patch?

More like everyone's keeping them for those long-ass arenas (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I can sorta see that, but not a single one in WTS or WTB? Must be crazy rare then, even ethereal weapons are sold often.

1. is there something new that makes stance reduce dmg? cause i always seem to take way less as soon as i activate it

2. besides exp is there a reason why people want to do arenas on something besides normal (sans last title)? seems like a good way to waste money if its unexpectedly difficult

3. why did no one mention that iwtbh with bleed weapons is a pretty good way to get rolled if they sit in agitation


your av is hypnotizing eto

LOL glad you're enjoying it.
1. Not really, but there is a side effect called killing stuff faster makes me take less damage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
2. Last stage of arena gives you items/equips. Higher difficulty gives you better chance of getting better drops. It's the same for the hourly encounters.
3. Sorry; (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) now you know; it's why people suggest plate for bleed style; you need that phys abs/mitigation, +endurance bonus.

Everyone's busy with the new dawn, so let me first point to some useful archives. We really should make some sort of copy-paste reply for this.

Is my gear good? Can be answered by installing the script here or [userscripts.org] here or using the scaling calc to set your item to level 0 and then compare to the Equipment Ranges Wiki

Finding good gear; never buy stuff from the bazaar at your level. The cost of an item at the bazaar is 10x the price you sell it, so even shitty gear might cost you 3000c or so whereas you might pay only 300c - 500c from other players. Go to WTS subforum to browse:
https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showforum=77

and in particular, some freebies for low levels in these player's shops:

Don't be greedy, but feel free to experiment w/ different equips to see what playstyles suit you. In case you weren't aware, it's fine to use equipment over your level. It's recommended in fact, since it's easy to quickly outpace your equipment's effectiveness since you level a lot faster at lower levels.

And of course this thread is a great resource. A search is suggested, but may be hard to use cuz you might get tons of results, but do go back a few pages and see if what you want to know has been asked.


Back to your question. Focusing on melee or mage? or trying out both? go however you like. If melee, Dual Wielding is better for accuracy, but 2hands is better for outright killing lots of stuff. For all classes, put 1 pt in poison, and 5 pts in weaken. Weaken any strong mob giving you trouble, any time you are testing the waters in a new dificulty if needed, and any time you run into a legendary.

For armor, fighters want "of protection" suffix gear, and mages want "elementalist" suffix gear.
For melee weapons, balance gives accuracy, but slaughter gives best damage.
For staves, focus = accuracy, destruction = damage. Mages should always max out the aoe spells they want to use; not only does it increase damage, it reduces mana cost.

Oh yeah, if you get an artifact, you can turn it in, but it's probably worth more to you if you sell it; people are always buying em for 14,000c (depends on market, check WTB subforum), and the credits will help you out more than 100x crystals or 1 ability point would.

Anything more specific just ask here. G'luck.

The good ones seem to be crazy rare. Now that I look back, I wish I kept the one with 45 percent conservation...
