If you need it, of course. I don't use scroll that much, and prefer using element weapon with void shard instead.

Unless your a mage go ahead and get them. It's not a waste of AP and they are great for helping you save mana or getting effects from spells you may not have. Their especially handy at the end of IW or Arena runs.

I feel like 1 infusion slot + 2 scroll should be enough. Getting multiple infusion slots won't help as their effects counter each other, and I don't know if there's a time a player needs more than 2 scrolls instead of manually casting them.

If you don't use Infusions/Scrolls, let them be for now. I've got 1 Scroll and 2 Infusion slots, and the second Infusion slot never gets used at all (the first gets hit whenever I feel the need for a bit more punch near the end of an arena or something). They're a useful convenience when you've got more AP then you know what to do with, but that doesn't happen until 300+. Besides, they're so incredibly cheap it's easy to just pick them up when you feel you need them.

Though at your level you should focus a bit more on defense (mitigation) instead of offense, there's a few things for offensive build. - power suit of slaughter, which gives you tons of damage bonus - 2H weapon to hit multiple enemies, or DW weapons to maximize damage output on single enemy -> scythe/ axe gives the best damage output -> estoc/ rapier has penetrated armor which reduce monsters' mitigation to 0 Still, at your level you should probably get a full set of plate of protection and play a bit more defensively. ADB has a small level factor; while it means players will get a large amount of ADB at high level, it also means low-level players won't get the full benefit from high ADB equips.

Well, the best Strength-based builds are typically Heavy 2H Melee. That means a combination of Plate and Power Armor and a [ tvtropes.org] BFS. You'll want to take a look at the wiki's advice page, but this build usually has STR=END>DEX>AGI>WIS>INT, and Plate/Power Armor add more STR and END. Eventually you end up a regenerating Terminator with an Estoc (so long as your mana for the buffs holds out). Edit: Sent you a Scythe, for smiting your enemies. Scythe won't always be the best option as enemies start hitting harder and having higher mitigations, but at your level the raw damage of a Slaughter Scythe beats out the PA and Stun procs on Estocs and Maces. Dead remains the best status condition to inflict. This post has been edited by PK678353: Nov 17 2012, 13:31

QUOTE(Nekokon @ Nov 17 2012, 03:50)  If you really want to balance real time and stamina cost effective, I suggest using mace and full kevlar though. Just keep an eye for your hp while holding down the number pad and watch everything get stunned to dead (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you get proper connection it'd be much faster than having to carefully plan your move (mostly healing whenever your hp fall to dangerous level, which is quite usually) Beside, more attack means more prof gain too (eventhough buffs run out faster, but you don't need that many buff on at the same time with high pmi, haste and stun) mace kill rate is slower even compare to scythe in the medium difficulty but it give more protection. In condition I said, It is medium difficulty medium run so no need for more protection full kevlar It's just drag kill rate lower. medium run (like most arena) is fine even mix some shade but pack enough mana pot. kevlar+mace can go harder difficulty but harder mean consume more time per round. anyway It's up to each person . what way you wanna spend your time.

Mace sure is much slower in term of turns, but if you don't have to worry about dying and rebuff, isn't it faster in real time ? I only need Heartseeker and Regen 2 to faceroll all the way until there're >7 mobs (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This way I won't burn thru my stamina too fast, yet still net a good amount of exp/credit in a timely manner (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And mainly because I don't have to micro manage anything (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The only time I ever use my 3 infusions slots is at the end of Trio when you have the sisters and the tree who are each weak to a different element (they're all weak to soul but I already have that on my off-hand strike). But I think having multiple scrolls and infusion slots is nice, it gives you more options in case you get into trouble in the deep rounds. I never thought twice about getting them because they're only 1 AP a piece (I thought everybody got them (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ).

I gonna sleep if I use mace but with mace can go on hell or even more with more careful , more time and more sleepy play (most time I die because forgot to look at hp bar. and still left a lot of mana pot- -") This post has been edited by Manian: Nov 17 2012, 15:02

QUOTE(MirandaKerr @ Nov 17 2012, 23:36)  since my DW has reached 82 prof (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) , i'm considering to IW my offhand using 2H i've been using (decent/if not bad) mace+my light set, but i feels like being hit by a truck (normal arena). I guess losing over 30% parry is just too much. Use a full set of protection armor.

Not exactly Both Souls have same chance of procing Ripened Soul, but since Harvest is AoE, therefore it has higher chance of landing at least one Ripened Soul in multiple mobs QUOTE(MirandaKerr @ Nov 17 2012, 17:36)  in the land of ugly people, how ugly do i look?
Very ugly, even among the ugly ones. If you plan to switch to Heavy, only three armor suffixes matter: Barrier (Shield), Protection (Plate and Power), and Slaughter (Power). The rest are pretty much bazaar junk unless they are of magnificent (for Warding) For Light Armor, if you are getting hit, get Fleet/ShadowDancer (Shade); if you are taking heavy damage, then Protection (Kevlar) This post has been edited by Coma: Nov 17 2012, 18:39
