Maging is probably still the easiest/fastest way for that

Safer? Yes. Faster? No way in hell.

I can say this because I've done IWBTH DwD both ways.

I am a melee using mace, then that skill sounds useless to me.

I thought everyone beat DwD as melee? Then again, I don't really pay attention to what other people do. I just beat it, but I cheated by spamming Scrolls of the Avatar and Gods and by using enchanted armor.

I'm not sure about it, but before shards are added I haven't seen any claims from lv.300 players that they can beat BT/IWBTH DwD. The situation obviously changed with shards though.

And I don't count those who spam scrolls to recover MP (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Still okay since it gives 100% stun proc. If Shatter Strike gets nerfed it will become powerful.

Anyway, I have completed DwD with some scroll of swiftness (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Scroll SoL is cheaper than the spell version. And you get THREE spells for the price of one action with one of the Awesome Scrolls, plus they cost 0 MP. Sure, they may not last as long the spells with my proficiency, but that's a small price to pay. And when the Scrolls and my IA were both up, I had double Haste and SV for extra lulz. Protection + Shield/Barrier wasn't a bad deal, either.

You mean scroll of avatar? Does the haste stack?

They stack.

How long did it take for the whole run?

To experts:

Whats the difference between battle arena and grindfest?

Arena is a structured series of encounters. You'll always see the same type of monsters at each round.

Grindfest, on the other hand, is random. That's the main difference.

The other very important difference is that once you start an arena, you will not be able to restart it until the next day.

Also, Grindfest uses more stamina.

Arena: preset number of monster composition, monsters have 100% damage output at any round, 400 rounds per 20 staimina in normal status, have clear bonus, later arenas have higher EXP bonus

Grindfest: random number/composition of monsters, monsters start with 51% damage output and increase by 1% per round, 200 rounds per 20 stamina in normal status, no clear bonus, no extra EXP bonus

As for cash received, it depends on the number of rounds and difficulty you've played.

Did I find something interesting?



I know it is low level. Bumped it by 6 levels already in IW. I know it will take time, but this thing looks spectacular when compared to Slaughter/Ox/Cheetah/Banshee/etc... I never stumbled upon Battlecaster type of weapon before (I know I haven't seen a lot of good stuff yet at ~100 lvl (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

Nope, you didn't.

They stack.

But with double haste, you only need an action speed of 177.8 or 200 to cap out lol (haven't determined if the scroll and spell add together or multiply)

Hmm at this moment I have 246.1 speed.

So I guess it's an overkill for me.

Yeah, 246.1 would become 369.15 with haste, so you can still improve a little bit with double haste, like you wouldn't get hit by e1ia and be able to get more hits on monsters, but it probably isn't worth using the scroll and spell

I never experimented with double haste, never tried that out even once actually, so mine's just a "guesstimation": the effects are multiplied together.

I can't see why the conventional stacking method used for everything else (lowering of mana costs included) shouldn't be applied here too.
