Wow that was fast thanks for the reply can you explain penetrated armor (and thus, estoc) is good? I still think think after penetrated armor you will still need to attack that monster again, and I will kill it with or without the proc, so why?
also if i switch to mace my accuracy will be low (even a balanced mace doesn't add to much accuracy), should I switch?
one last question, how does the mooglemail work? how can you be sure that the peoson will sent you money/item after you sent yours?
thanks for the help

1. Penetrated Armor effect now eliminates monsters physical mitigation entirely (up from 50% reduction). 2. It's up to you, but accuracy isn't so important when monsters are stunned - you have plenty of time to hit. 3. It's all about trust. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

thanks, you've been really helpful
couple more questions
1. do you still get the money from RoB when you pass it at easy difficulty?
2. I've never tried any difficulty besides normal, but it seems that there may be times that you would want to try the IWBTH difficulty? is this the case? is so when?
3. what is that orange bar under your name that says 917?

1. You get a big reward first time (regardless of the difficulty), after that only 1k every time. 2. Higher difficulty = higher drop quality, more exp and credits from monsters. So the higher - the better. But you don't need to force it, just play on the difficulty which feels comfortable to you. 3. It's karma points. If I imbue somebody with karma - that's the number of points I'll give to him. This post has been edited by Evil Scorpio: Jun 3 2012, 12:48

Power tank is only useful if you want more mod power (for expunging, tagging, renaming, and plus/minus comments). Your base power goes up by 0.5 every time you train (your base number before all the aura multiplication is added in). I already trained my power tank to 20/20 because more mod power is one of the main reasons I play HV (your base also goes up by 1/3 every time you level). So it really depends on what your motivations are for playing (mine are credits so I can download and mod power).

Armor inexpensive? They look pretty expensive to me. As a newbie, I have no idea about even rough value of items.

Even those plate and gossamer with correct suffix are inexpensive and good for starters. Kevlar maybe the most expansive one to get started with. As for rough value, you'll need to know which type of equips are trending and which aren't, which can sometimes be quite troublesome. QUOTE(Maximum_Joe @ Jun 4 2012, 00:26)  So gents, what next?
Get a few more levels on those trainings which gives more/better drops.

Depends on your stats, prof, and other gear. Destro will likely be the most logical choice

Little question ¿From which level should I start to seriously worry about how low my proficiency is? I'm currently lvl 45 dual weilder and my highest proficiencies are on dual weilding (14) and curative (13) with all the rest on 5 or below (not inclusing magic ones, which are of course 0), which is way below what the wiki suggest (50% of my level) but I'm not sure if my level is high enough to make a serious grind.

its not so much you have to worry about it, but the lower they are vs your level the less damage you'll, you'll get hit more, your spells won't last as long so you cast more times using more mana. if you find you get hit more or it takes longer to kill monsters spend a little time working on them. for most just grinding will keep them close to your level.

QUOTE(youngfolk @ Jun 4 2012, 00:04)  Karma Amplification increases the effect of the imbuement by 6%.
You have imbued Empathy with 196.1 points of karma.
Your Karma Influence Power has been drained, and is now 1.
So whats the question

I wonder if I'm achieving my goals efficiently here, or is my style choice just dumb? I currently go all shield armor, with 1 piece at 11.9% block, 2 pieces at 10% block, 1 piece at 8.5% block, and one at 5% block, the axe and club have high damage, and when nencessary I toss voidseekers at them. I tend to have no trouble in ring of blood battles or small battles, but in larger ones I'm generally just hitting them until I can chain my skills, especially on IWBTH hourlies. Is there anything I can do to keep my mana potion use down down to get more efficiency in longer arenas? lol, stoned, forgot to add pics. This post has been edited by FullestDay: Jun 4 2012, 09:23
