NEGATIVE!?!?!?!?

Is that the heavy armor proficiency kicking in?

I'm surprised the negative Burden doesn't cause shit to freak out.

Does that increase your evade??

Seems like Tenb forgot to put the lower boundary on burden (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
But then when burden is first introduced, nobody thought it could go below 0, so that's fine

Collect 7 different ponyfeathers, and you MAY have a present.
People probably want the second set for collection purpose.

I see,something like last year easter eggs huh? thanks for the answer

Oh, my mistake then.
I got that information from:
I should note that my reference for "sucking" is that it does little damage, not in the amount of ponies it incorporates (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
That's interesting. In theory that should make getting the skill slightly easier

Just a random use of the skill,

Complete HV newbie here. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I've grinded my way up over the last 2 weeks and switched from 2H/plate to dual/leather somewhere at level 40.

Bosses seem to be a non-issue, but I've lately encountered problems getting through >22-23 round arenas in hard mode. As you can see in the screens, my proficiencies are utter shit due to changing this late into the leveling progress.
I'm still quite unsure how exactly to balance out my attributes and what I should pick up in the abilities. So far, I'm planning to follow a rough outline of 1.2-1.3 Str/End, 1.1 Dex, 1 Spi/Agi, 0.8 Int in terms of stat weightings.

Now, here come the questions:
- Would grinding up the proficiencies help me out with these issues? Does the rate of proficiency gains scale with difficulty?
- Is the stat balance I'm aiming for feasible? I'm planning to slowly progress onto Kevlar gear with the sufficient credits - any further tips for gearing?
- Did I miss any crucial abilities that I should absolutely pick up? Should I ditch points from the EXP/MP tanks for Spi?
- While boss fights are pretty forward with keeping up everything till they die - what's the recommended fighting style in arenas as DW? So far I've had Haste up at all times, keeping up my HP with Cure and using Protection/SV only with the channeling procs, because they seemed to drain too much mana otherwise. Should I change this behavior? Should I use Spirit Stance late into the fight or right off the bat to conserve some mana in the early stages?

Thanks for your time.

1. I don't think prof. grinding will solve the problem in your case. And rate of proficinecy is only affected by how close it is to your current level.

2. Stat is okay as long as you feel so. Kevlar isn't that good after the recent patch, and you should considering switching back to plate. You also need both 2H/DW for different situations.

3. Max weaken. Then take some time in your SP and overcharge.
It's not urgent, but it surely helps.

4. Against tons of enemies? 2H is still the king.
However...if you want to keep DW style, you can try club/rapier. Or try different combinations till you feel it's comfortable. Because variety is DW's advantage.

2. Are the balance 2h maces any good? And what are the main differences between Plate, Shield and Power Armor?

3. I rarely ever need/use weaken in arena because it's single-target and I haven't encountered any problems on bosses with R1 yet, so is it really necessary?

4. So DW primarily for bosses/low round arenas and 2h for tons of enemies? Both using plate or should I switch to leather for DW?

2. Balance is ok, but its really good for lower levels, when your accuracy is poor. At higher levels, slaughter seems to be the way to go for melee. Plate armor is your standard heavy armor. Shield armor gives you extra block chance, even without a shield, power armor gives you more attack damage (in fact, it gives you the highest melee attack damage if you get a whole set).

3. Its more of a neccesity for legendarily and gods, or at higher difficulties where you much more likely to be one shot killed by an unlucky maximum damage crit. For melee though, silence (which you don't have yet) is usually the better choice, because your more vulnerable to magic damage, while for mage, weaken is better because you can't afford to take a lot of high damage physical hits and melee crits would murder you. But using weaken now will help level up your deprecating proficiency, which increases the durations of your debuffs, which really helps in the long boss battles later.

4. Yes, DW works better for bosses and small number of enemies, while 2H clears rounds much faster because of domino strikes. You can go either leather or plate, but I'd recommend plate armor, because of absorption was removed as a stat, and with the addition of enchantments, light armor really has no advantages over heavy armor at higher levels. Its a tough time to be melee.

has any1 noticed this? any reason why it happens?


and yes.. the real skill is phased out, not just the "hotkey" for it
i think it usually reqs me to be at 110 or so

it's on cooldown (probably)

yeah, thats not it... i probably shoulda included the whole pic... but i didnt want it to just occlude the entire screen

could there just be a hiccup in which it displays more oc than i actually have? cause its never certain as to whether i can shatter at 10x... sometimes i can sometimes i cant and defending for the turn in case it doesnt register or something, doesnt work

e: ignore.... i live in herpaderpastan...

What's your max OC suppose to be, check in derived attributes i mean. My max OC is always correct; you sure you didn't add any to oc boost?

you need 110 OC (100 + 10 OC drain for turn) if you have spirit stance activated, other than that, cooldown and 100 OC is all that is needed. never had an issue w/ 10x OC.

You can attach the file instead of embedding it if you want to avoid screenhogging; it will open in a new window.
