[X] My Assistant

I remember getting a Fine Cotton from a Yuki at round 75. You'd think getting the rare equipment drop from an IWBTH legendary would be something you can't get on any given Normal round, but I guess not.

You get that with all you've put into training and doing it on IWBTH (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

3 hours could be 3000 rounds of grinding where you could get a equipment every 35 or less rounds. You may not get a godly legendary of cotton but you should be able to get a lot more stuff that is better then a fine cotton of something. Plus more artifacts, shards and other stuff.

The rewards you get for the time spent just seem out of place

May I hv some tips for my build?

First, may I know if there's any particular problem you're facing?

@ hitokiri84

I blame those who demanded for IWBTH to be their new 'Normal' ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

I kinda want to ask for a new difficulty that would make even 1 round of battle challenging for the sake of Random Encounter + RoB, with huge loot and quality bonus of course... But then, I bet these people would go back to the same routine of 'wanting to play the highest diff all the time' and demand for a pussification of such difficulty.

Then it's the same old story; people playing them en masse, get shit load of gear, Tenb nerfed loot bonus, repeat... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Yeah. Slow do have an issue with duration at first... However, when the situation calls for, it's benefits (especially for melee) is enormous.

However, let me emphasize that while I say it's good, the fact remains that none of the deprecating spell are of great importance for melee; Stun and PA is all the thing melee really need.

The aura thing is just my personal (albeit a rage inducing one (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) opinion. 1% crit has low effect, sure. But +xx% exp has no effect as far as I'm concerned. Also, spent point just to gain further point faster doesn't make any sense IMO...

Im 2hand - light melee

try and do all your arenas & RoB for the first time clear bonus. Take credits and train a lot of stuff. The training costs are low for the first levels and well worth the price.

I dont really hv any particular problem (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
But I think my build isnt the best and you guys can give me some tips that make my build stronger (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

get 60 more AP to max spirit & overcharge tanks so you can use skills or spirit stance more

So what's the best way to raise staff prof. quickly since mine is very low? I'm trying to power-level to gain access to Regen II, Pestilence, and Nerf.

get a full suit of priestess (staff included). entering IWBTH flimsy/crude IW. cast regen. hold down the numpad.

Easier said than done. All I got for Priestess equipment is shoes. The staff is an Fine Oak Staff of the Owl. At least I have some Crude equipment anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Well, at the very least you get another chance at a good equip by offering the trophy to the Shrine.

High-light the main point for you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

EXP bonus do have some effect beofre lv. 200.
1. You get more arenas to clear. That's a good source for credits.
2. You have more AP to spend on the ability tree.

If you don't want to spend extra time on spamming, the other method is to incorporate more MM into your strategy. Using MM with staff will also raise your staff prof., and you can also save some mane for the 2nd/3rd spell.
But then prof is indeed a way to slow down power-leveling IMO, so there no real 'solution' to that.

As buktore have said, you can always choose to upgrade your equips, but I don't see any real need to do so right now.
Some fine-tuning suggestions:
1. Get some refined aura training. You've put your points into auras, but you don't have aura slot to get the effect. It's when you really need that refined aura.

2. As your armor seems okay, you may spend some credits on trainings, probably the ability boost and those four which alter drop chance. Save some credits though, so you may get some better equips when they're available.

3. Get a few deprecating spells. Probably weaken and silence, as they have been proven to be useful against a strong target. That's not a must though, so you may skip that.

As a light melee, I feel regen I/II, haste, heartseeker, spirit shield (and maybe spark sometimes) will serve you right for most of the time. Weaken, slow, magnet are also useful against god/legendary.

Yo
I want to start grinding prof. but don't know which one would be most helpful for a main heavy armor set.
This is my prof. right now.

Any advice on reach one I should raise?

Supportive and depecating, followed by dual wield.

Thanks
Any recommended weapons I should dual wield with?

Preferably ethereal.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, something "good" from the Shrine. Some people. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And there was no trophy. It was an actual equip drop from a legendary, which is more rare than normal artifact drops. The problem is it was bottom-of-the-barrel trash when it should have been something worthy of the circumstance.

I still get Averages from BT clear rounds
True story

Oh, and when grinding for profs always keep an eye on the Curative one (although that will naturally keep growing since one who doesn't heal in battle doesn't go far of course (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) but it's still a good thing to grind it if it lags behind your cap. Having Regen give 75 or 100 HP per turn is a big difference, even bigger if you factor in the extended duration from proficiency.
