it's quite hard on my lvl. I'm doing my best to keep str, dex, end and agi around *1.0

Don't keep them all at 1.0x your level then. Focus a bit more on str and end.

not 1/3? int gives 1 mana for 4 points, wis 3 mana for 4

wis also gives mana regen a bunch of other benefits, so its more valuable, especially for melee players. Keeping int upgrade cost more than 1/4 the cost of wis is a fast way to determine how much int you should have.

I was talking about armor proff. as long as they are hitting you you gain it, and there're turn skipping actions: defence and focus (you don't damage mobs and you don't lose mana)

And like I said, any "do nothing" action counts as skipping a turn, so you can't gain any proficiency during that turn. You also don't get your normal mana and sp regen, while upkeep costs from IA still kick in. Using a skill (even when successful), defend, focus, and failing to cast a spell due to lack of mana all count as skipping a turn, so you can't get proficiency that turn.

question:
are heals affected by mag base dmg?

Nope, heal is determined by curative proficiency, and cure (but not regen) is also increased by holy edb.

im having trouble deciding my off hand item:
fair shortsword of slaughter( more damage, occasional offhand damage)
or average buckler of protection( less damage but more protection.

Or get a good "of the nimble" weapon in offhand since 1H style sucks. You can get about as much parry as you get block from a buckler.

They're for different styles.

If you use weapons (shortsword or others), that would be DW. If you use buckler, that would be one-handed.
Since they have dintinct differences, it can't be compared.

thank you.

just reallocated all my AP in order to get in line with all the hv changes...

any comments on my AP allocation?
pure mage build btw...



also, what to do with my remaining AP?
will still have a lot of AP left even after max-ing out the level 250 tier.

Get Imperil and Storms of Njord, you'll need them for the schoolgirl marathons.
Fimbulvetr is useful against the dragons (though you're still a long way off), Nerf and X-Nerf are kinda useless right now, Slow can help against FSM.
Why so much hate for Scrolls and Infusions?

Imperil and Blind, those are irreplaceable for mages, especially Imperil.

Maybe some points into OC or exp tank?

Probable choices:
1. Wind 3: against konata in EOD and one of the trio sisters before 250. If you have good dark/holy EDB suit you may skip this.

2. Imperil: I will pick it for its -25% mitigation on monsters. Good against legends/gods.

3. EXP tanks: why don't spend on it when you have tons of AP left?

4. One spike spell: just for raising supportive prof, that's not a must though.

5. Slow: Useful against FSM, but I still like magnet at lv. 250.

6. Blind: Again, useful against FSM. Though I'm not sure if I need that many spell on FSM now...

Some of this is repetition, but whatever.

Absolutely get Imperil and lose Sleep. Get Blind.
I would personally get a full stack of elemental spells rather than having two tiers of dark and also two tiers of holy.

For FSM, wouldn't just Silence and Weaken be sufficient for both mage and melee? I don't really see the point of applying so many different debuffs on FSM.

EDIT: And Imperil as well, unless you don't use rapier/estoc. Or you're an elemental mage.

Imperil is top priority for mages

You will wish you had cast Imperil earlier when you ran out of mana in x25 FSM

Imperil = more damage done = less turn taken = less chance of being 1HKO by FSM

no hate... just no love

sleep is for the goddess

I've never found Sleep useful.

Yeah... Wasting your time ~8 hours a day with your eyes closed and doing nothing is kinda pointless, isn't it? WTF is God thinking when he implemented this function, anyway!? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Lucid dream is kinda nice though... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

You regain mana and hp, dur

Not good enough. Too easy to get awake from dreams (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That would be eating. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
