I like neither. Haste more than SV for bosses+

But at a low level for a mage SV is more worthy than haste. If you ask me...

If you had to choose, I'd go with Haste since you're not ready for the awesomeness of X-Magic. Faster casting means you don't have to worry about getting hit which is what SV mitigates. But both are good to have.

On a related note, how awesome/not awesome is Arcane Meditation? I'm 4 levels out from it and was wondering if it's worth it's huge mana cost. Or do you just cast it when you have a mystic gem/channeling?

The gains aren't drastic, but there's a noticeable difference in power. If I'm in a pre-Endgame arena, I just cast it myself since it'll last long enough. Otherwise, I use Channeling.

What's the speed modifier of arcane meditation?

This is the longsword I am using currently using Average Sapphire Longsword of Slaughter

I am looking to purchase a better longsword and would like some advice on what to look for. I know I want something with a higher Hit Proc (in the 20s at least) with at least as long a duration as I am currently using. I am just a little unsure how to prioritize the rest of the stats when purchasing a longsword.

For example should I look for a longsword "of Slaughter" like I am currently using or would "of Balance" be preferable?

Related to the question above does the greater attack accuracy bonus increase the chances of causing bleeding wound on multiple creatures in a mob? If so which do you think would be more likely to cause multiple bleeding wounds on a mob: a regular longsword with a 25% Hit Proc vs a similar longsword of Balance with say only a 22% Hit Proc?

So how do you think I should prioritize the stats when purchasing a longsword. Currently I am considering prioritizing them in this order

Hit Proc, duration 6 or 7, damage as good or better than my current longsword, Attack damage or Attack accuracy (not sure which is more important hence the "of Slaughter", "of Balance" question above), attribute bonuses, Attack Crit, Interference, and finally Burden.

Does this seem like a reasonable ranking or am I completely on the wrong track? I would like to hear what the experts think a good ranking of stats on a longsword would be.

Is your Prof lacking behind?
Is your equipment bad/outleveled?

Whats Prof ?
Yeah the Equipment its a litlle back ^^',oh got a tropy and got me a 2H sword with greath bleding effect
But rest i think i am missing around 5 lvls on each equipment,i still dont get the stuff with the equipment i go max on dmg and try to complete the othere needs with stats alone ? any suggestions on swordman/cleric gear for my lvl ? for the sword man it should be OX equipment no ?

Prof -> proficiency

General trend is, when you are about lvl 1-50, I recommend level 60-80 gear.

lvl 50-100, I'd say about level 130-160 gear.

Try looking at some player shops or... the evil bazaar.

whait you can equip higer lvl gear than you lvl ?

Yes, you just get downscaled stats. But the point is, you get to "grow" with the equipment, hence you don't need to keep buying new equipment.


Equipment levels are not limited to your current level, you can equip equipment higher than your level, it's just the "effects" of the equipment gets "reduced" to your current level.

When the equipment is far too high level, the equipment reduction effect is drastically too high to be worth wearing it. Hence I recommended the levels of equipment you 'should' be wearing to avoid "too high reduction" effects.

Level 1 wearing level 200 equipment is pure silly. Unless the level 200 equipment is some sort of Legendary, Magnificent or Exquisite (not to be mistaken with Exquishit) then the downscaling (reduction effect) wouldn't make much of a difference then. But then, those equipment are beyond "overpowered" hence downscaling doesn't make too much of a dent then.

however Burden and Interference are always scaled to the level of the equipment and not the player so take note when you are using equipment that are a lot higher than your current level.

And with what affects burden ? oh and i probly got wy i was losing the 2h weapon i got from tropy i thougt it was good,but its shit,only the bleeding effect was2 good for me,but ass stats there was nothing,i got a beter chance with 1h weapon and shield ^^

It is always known that one hand shield is the best survivability, but two handers tend to kill things much faster. And you die much faster if you don't handle two hand properly with proper gear.

Burden yes, doesn't scale to your current level. IE, the burdern is always higher than what you should handle.

Higher proficiency reduces your burden, so in theory, higher level players using higher burden equipment to their level, should not experience "heavier" burdern than someone at a lower level with lower level gear because their proficiency normally "negates" the increased burden from higher level gear.

Higher burden means slower attack speed, and the higher chance enemies can double attack you in one turn.

oh i get i now lol,did not make a diference to me ^^'

also the tokens for legacy encounter,its 3 max keep on you ? cuz i havent had 1 in some time now,are they more rare than the token of blood wich heals you ? ucz thouse i got some more drops X(

token of blood does appear to be rarer than token of healing.

as for how many token of blood you can have with you at one time, i am not sure as i have only three with me as well.

strange no,i founf even more artifacts than tokens lol

i found more blood tokens than artifacts.

I have about 60+ healing tokens, I only used about 5.

I have about 13-15 blood tokens, I only used 4.

I had a total of about 10 artifacts to total history.

If you're wearing Silk with Accuracy bonuses (cap, gloves), you can get away with Slaughter. But I always preferred Balance longswords because it doesn't matter how hard I hit if I can't hit. Crits also guarantee procs. A DomStrike can be a crit, but they don't all have to be. And it can miss. This is the longsword I was using before I switched to katana/Niten if you want a reference. Its an old one, though, since it doesn't have a crit bonus but was a pretty solid Bleeder.

As for the rest of you, some of this stuff is mentioned in the wiki if you took the time to read it.
