QUOTE(varst @ Mar 29 2012, 19:49)  1. Tried using MM to proc CM again after ET procs? This should save you some mana. 2. If your equips set is correct (mix holy/dark), it may be a better choice to alternate between holy and dark spells. The ultimate method to save mana is , of course, to kill everything as fast as you can. 3. Any depreciating spells on legends? Nerf can help you if you need more than 4 spells to kill a legend. 4. Round-opening spell: try using purge -> pestilence on MM-ed monster? Or a riskier method: MM on legend then purge?
Thanks, I'll try them tomorrow (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I used mostly Pestilence and Banish then Lightning lvl 2 for a few I couldn't kill. The set I used is the set 3 in my sig. With Mana Conserve my offensive spell costs are: Pestilence 32MP Banish 32MP Lightning 23MP (Depending on how much HP is left, if a monster has a lot of HP left I will use Wrath of Thor 32MP) Otherwise my spell cost would be a lot more than that with any other staff. You should let your phase armor do the damage multiplying while the staff reduces your cost to be effective. You trade off some damage but you should last a lot longer when your spells start to cost you 10MP or so less. From the layout of spells I used the most used ones are on the second quickbar and toward the right side. You can see it from [ dl.dropbox.com] screenshot of the last round. For ET'ing, I would manually pick MM then use the R button to repeat until CM procs, then whack away until ET proc is gone, then repeat again until I got everything again. On occasion I will do Soul Harvest to get back my SP before doing ET for mana. They hit pretty hard when your stamina drops below 80.

QUOTE(Fille84 @ Mar 28 2012, 22:10)  What would you guys recommend a 2H melee warrior to carry with him (battle items) when doing Arena lv. 110-150?
Also what should one think about when choosing heavy/cloth armor? What are some "good" ones out there?
Bump you guys.

1 Godly HP, 1 Godly SP, the rest Godly MPs. As for armor, I suggest mixing shade/kevlar or go full shield armor. You need defense. I think shield is better compared to light at your level. This post has been edited by ChosenUno: Mar 29 2012, 18:01

Right. HP I take it stands for 'Health Potion', and MP for 'Mana Potion', what is SP tho? Also when looking for full shield armor, are there any stats I should be extra observant for when buying one? This post has been edited by Fille84: Mar 29 2012, 18:06

I just bought this staff, not as sweet as yours but well.. it's cheap. I'll try again tomorrow.

@Fille84 If you got IA in use, more MP pots your going to need since Channeling comes up less frequently for melee. Heartseeker will suck up like 200+ MP if your using a heavy armor set. It cost me close to 300 MP if you want a comparison and that is with the old shade set I got.
HP - Health Points MP - Mana Points SP - Spirit Points
Potions in the context ChosenUno used. You could probably skip the use of 1 Godly HP pot if your weapon is a vampire type and just have it in reserve if your in a tight spot when you hit the last round.

Is the lvl 150 arena significantly harder? I go into my 100+ arenas with just shitty potions. 3 ave healths, and 1 of each tier mana (2 supers, no godly), and an average spirit O_O @Fille84 pay attention to the phy mitigation and block. "of the barrier" pieces can get higher block chance, and are much rarer, but "of protection" can get you better mitigation, pretty much as good as plate of protection, with a bonus of giving you block. Be warned; plenty of "barrier" pieces don't have that great block, and plenty of "protection" pieces have shitty block. It takes a lot of work to find good pieces. My pieces are all "of protection" w/ 5 or 6% block-scaled (I had an 8% barrier piece that I sold). And if you're a miser about interference like me it's even harder to find such pieces (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I usually use a slaughter scythe, and go full shield, but lately been using an ithilid scythe/eth longsword of slaughter, and the damage wasn't as good, so I had to supplement w/ a piece of power armor or 2.

Do you have enough DW proficiency? You need 75 OC and 100 prof. to use that ultimate skill.

I used to think like this ... But then I realized that even with IA, you can play the game exactly as if you don't, and (almost) everything will be exactly the same as no IA, with the Channeling and all, but you get the added bonuses of having not to cast some supportive spell at a critical moment, like the very beginning of the battle, or while in effects of power-up, like Bubble Gum for example.

No, not really. I went in yesterday on normal difficulty with a full godslaying loadout....and used 1 godly mana pot. Between protection, and occasionally using regen II when I got channeling, +spirit stance, that was all I needed. This is with full set of kevlar and a mace.

What is generally the best combination for dual wielding?
I currently use two Axes of the Slaughter, but I'm not really parrying much, and the damage isn't too impressive.

@ Stoiki2000
You sure you already use the T2 skill (Back Stab) and have sufficient OC (75) before the lv2 skill timer expired?

@buktore I cast my support spells first and use channeling to do the upkeep if I am lucky. It still sucks a lot of mana that way. I don't think I have gotten a bubble-gum drop since the patch to do it that way.
@Stoiki2000 You will need to have 175 OC total if your doing the skills right after each other

Are you filling up the OC bar first before using it? Having 190 OC in your stats doesn't mean anything if your not charging it up first during battle.
If you have spirit stance turned on when using the skills you have to add 10 OC for every skill or you will need to have 205 OC total to use it that way. You can sort of shortcut it by turning on spirit stance before using the last skill.

@ Stoiki2000QUOTE(buktore @ Feb 16 2012, 06:35)  You have to use that eye-poking skill (Iris Strike) first in order to use the buttsec skill (Back Stab) and so on.
A new skill icon will show up after using T1 skill, which look like this: [ I ] ... You have to use the T2 skill before this expired. Once using T2 skill, another skill icon will show up: [ II ] ... Same as before, you have to use the T3 skill before this expired. @ TrolljainTry a club. In fact, try everything... This post has been edited by buktore: Mar 29 2012, 20:05
