[X] My Assistant

so I got my Arcane Meditation recently and it is great.
Now I was wondering how I should change my gameplay based on that.
Pre-lv 130, I was recommended that I use a staff of focus and elemental clothing and do lightning-fire combo in battle.

But now that I got Arcane Meditation, I can probably replace my staff of focus with staff of destruction, right? and I was wondering if I should specialize my magic by getting heimdail clothings or something. or if I should rank my tier 1 magic to farm in normal well.

thanks in advance

New focus staff has a mana conservation bonus. Get a new one if you wish to continue using a focus staff.

Make sure to get a straight set for efficiency. Some of your gears are far below your level, get some new ones. Heimdall/dark combo is effective at high levels but rather mana consuming. You may raise your difficulty, as long as you can kill them before they cast spells.

Do I still need a focus staff? Doesn't arcane meditation take care of hit chance?

And do only focus staves have a mana conservation bonus?

No.
Pretty much.
Yep.

Yeah only focus it seems. I don't have any real problem with hit chance and I'm still using elemental magic (a bigger problem is when several enemies survive with low HP....yay for Spark)

guess ima just get a new focus staff and stick with elemental magic.

and i really should level up my gears. xp

Just buy some new ones in the WTS thread. Saves you a lot time.

As a DW semi-heavy, what Deprecating abilities would be most effective?

Also, trying to train my DW, Deprecating, Supportive and Curative proficiencies, any tips on how to kinda train each?

I imagine each has a different way, since if I try to do everything at once I'll just end up with a really slow increase of each.

You get your DW proficiency naturally by hitting mobs.

For the spell proficiency, get some mana pots and burn them down in IW on easy. There is no other way other than casting them.

1. Get a Focus staff and cloth (dont matter which type, as long as it dont have any inference)
2. Go to IW Crude
3. Spam spells
4. When CM proc, whack with staff to proc Ether Thief
5. ???
6. Profit!

Deprecating: Weaken
Supportive: Any Spike spell (which you dont have high enough level), Protection
Curative: Cure

Just wondering if the ehwiki's section on equipment proficiency is up to date?

I think so. You noticed anything abnormal?

Time for you to change your armor as you get arcane focus. Get a destruction staff or EDB staff within your budget (ebony for elementals, katalox for dark/holy), then get some phase with EDB bonus specified to the magic you're primarily using. If you don't have enough credits, you can get some fox phase (with the new patch I think they've become way more useful). But EDB is still better than fox clothes in terms of primary spell's power.

And pick either weaken or imperil, or both. They're very good against any bosses/legends/gods.

What debuff do you usually use when fighting bosses/RoB?

I only currently have weaken and poison.

Was thinking on using weaken + bewilder and maybe Imperil?

What is the fastest way to grind staff proficiency? I use for it low level focus staff (many hits before advancing to next round and max mana conservation for spamming cure) on easy difficulty (hard to die) in crysfest (lowest stamina cost). I also wear cloth armor to gain cloth proficiency. Is there any better way? Wearing heavy,light armor, or maybe i am missing something else?

Do Item World on crude equipments. If you want the armor prof too then play on easy difficulty. Otherwise play on IWBTH.

The problem is to protect yourself from 1-hit kills. If you don't want to wait till lv. 100/110 for spark/silence, then bring some scroll of life and use them whenever legend's MP bar is half-full/SP bar is full.

It depends on legends' SP/MP damage type though. If it's magical you can use scroll of absorption, it will absorb legend's magical attacks. Remember to keep weaken on as it should prevent legends from dealing crits. If it's physical it probably won't deal much damage with weaken. Using scroll of life only if you what some sure win.

As for bosses...they aren't that hard.

thank you for your reply. I've always thought your replies were helpful during my pre-lv130 days.

I have around 500k credits at the moment and I seem to make around 20k credit per day of arena grinding.
So I would like to get my hands on a destruction staff.
which base magic damage bonus should I be looking at for my staff? around 30? 40?

And if I'm planning on just grinding normal arena mobs for credit, I should just go for some phase EDB right? since heim costs too much.

go as high as you can (above 32, go 35 if you want), ebony shouldn't be too expensive nowadays.
good elem phase also doesn't cost that much, go for medium lv non near max elem phase. you can always get a better one (stat & level) latter, so don't spent all your credits now.

What factors determine how much credits you receive after clearing a round?

Difficulty, great/normal status, hath perks.

Except 3-6 on normal status per mob, increasing by 1.5 to the min, and 3 to the max, per difficulty setting, with a double step increase from BT to IWBTH

Take aiwotorimodose's idea. Elemental phase (not elementalist! EDB phase!) isn't expansive and should be good enough to start with.
Just remember you still need either holy or dark spells against lv. 180 and above arenas, so don't spend too much on your elemental suits and save your credits for either heimdall or fenrir and a good katalox staff.

I just started changing from 2h(mace) to Dual wield style. I would like to ask if there's any guide for such a build as i couldn't yield any results from searching.
Currently using kevlar protection set (thx el h)
Mace(main)(average balance)+rapier(off)(fine slaughter)
str=dex=agi=end
wis= lv*0.8
int=lv *0.5

I seem to be taking a lot of dmg from monsters on hard especially the ones made by players. I usually go protect then kill the ones with strange names then mp then the remaining, but it seems like my survivability isn't that high.
Should I find a better mace or something O_o
(maxed all hp tank and got 120% OC)
any suggestions would also be much appreciated
