Void isn't that necessary unless you have a mace or club. Slashing damage is commonly sitting at 25% damage reduction, so while its an upgrade, its not worth spending too much on. That free axe looks much better (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This post has been edited by fishinsea: Nov 19 2012, 07:59

QUOTE(loserneo @ Nov 19 2012, 15:39)  It's interesting to hear that you guys have so many potions, cause I need to buy mana pots all the time. Still~~ Actual question, I'm considering buying this for 20k: Superior Ethereal Axe of SlaughterIs that an upgrade from what I currently have (link in sig)? Edit: NVM Someone bought it while I was musing lol Edit2: Tell me anyway though so I have an idea. Eh, it's not too bad (ADB is pretty good), but the lack of PABs make your current axe marginally better. 4PABs on your axe means that you can level up your weapon with only Butcher and Swift Strike (and Hollowforged as the last potency), if that sort of thing interests you. With the Ethereal one, you're as likely to get other PABs, and that might screw things up nicely. But I guess for 20k, it's worth thinking about once or twice.

QUOTE(Coma @ Nov 18 2012, 23:55)  For a weapon, look at prefix (ethereal generally are must buy) and suffix (Slaughter is the best suffix for axe), its Base Weapon Damage is near max (52 base), have high bleed rate, and good PAB roll.
Thanks for the advice. How did you know what the max bwd was? I have the scripts but not the knowledge or at least reference material. Edit: Wow, lots of responses so quickly. No, I did not think about the 4PAB thing because I don't have the stamina to IW this stuff. I'm focusing all my stamina on EXP right now. Those obscure-looking pony riddles with too many dark-colored circles keep raping my stamina XD This post has been edited by loserneo: Nov 19 2012, 08:01

Yes, but would have been better if there is none to be mitigated. Plus ethereal means the axe wont have burden or inference. Regular axes have base burden of 10~17, highest of 1-hand weapons, which would have made lest popular weapon choice for DW Shade QUOTE(loserneo @ Nov 19 2012, 07:59)  Thanks for the advice.

ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges Bookmark it for reference, or if you have Base Stat script installed, press R QUOTE(loserneo @ Nov 19 2012, 07:59)  Those obscure-looking pony riddles with too many dark-colored circles keep raping my stamina XD
Generally the answer would be Fluttershy QUOTE(fishinsea @ Nov 19 2012, 08:00)  Question is: who is willing to IW a superior axe? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Depend how good it is. Generally having 4PAB is enough to try a run or two QUOTE(fishinsea @ Nov 19 2012, 08:00)  And coma, all I'm saying is to wait for an exquisite that you want to keep instead of making marginal upgrades.
But it was an improvement and cheap, until Killa give one for free. I dont consider upgrade to exquisite even into lvl200, and I am still doing ok with half of superiors. This post has been edited by Coma: Nov 19 2012, 08:09

QUOTE(xmagus @ Nov 19 2012, 07:26)  This is incredibly interesting. Because I have Godly Mana Potions coming out my ears. Every day I sell them off in 100-unit job lots.
/me suspects you have to increase your Scavenger training level massively.
Seriously, in a 100-round Arena, I get about 50-60 Godly Manas and a craptonne of Godly Healths.
good for you... QUOTE(Nekokon @ Nov 19 2012, 07:36)  Pretty much the same here, average of 1 to 2 pots every round. Even without scavenger you won't run out of pot these day, so much as went bankrupt because of that. And she(?) is lv 222, no less o.O
yeah but i cant do arenas because i die... is dificult understand ... the fact i cant do arenas? look! i have lvl 222 and im still with the destined display... so is for something, no? im not all the mage experts all in one with all the stuff and complex build and so on... if you just joking me ... i prefer dont help as that... well, i dont know the "ask the experts" section need know all about this game, be expert and more, SORRY ¬¬

I think there is something wrong with your setup, I was a part-time mixed Hemidall/Fenrir mage and I could get through Trio just fine. If you run out of mana, weaken/silence until Condensed Mana appear, then use staff to proc Ether Theft, drain until monster dies and rinse and repeat. The higher difficulty you go, the easier this trick becomes.

Post links to your equipment and screenshots of your abilities and stats. If you're having that much trouble with arenas then there might be something amiss in one or more of those areas.

QUOTE(fishinsea @ Nov 19 2012, 11:33)  Spamming infusion of divinity anyone can do it under 300.
I just did, kill FSM in IWBTH. He has 4,5M HP, hit me for ~2kHP when weakened. I barely survived at the cost of 7 Godly mana pot, about 15 or more infusion of divinity and total zero SP, MP and ~10% HP left. I got 1 chaos token plus this junk as rewards. Not sure if it worth the trouble.

It might be time for you to make the switch to Holy/Dark.

Not sure if it worth the trouble. That seems odd, since he was only hitting me for 1k after I weakened him, and of course, phase isn't exactly rocking massive mitigations. You've got 5 AP in Weaken, right?

keep in mind that lv5 butcher add only 10% calculate with it's str and dex should determine that how much damage weapon can add.

Yep, max out weaken and silence. Maybe i'm just unlucky today. Somehow i've been getting hit twice as much as usual even with SV active. I even lost an hourly battle today, got crit by 5 mob at the same time; since i was in full health and they were weakened, i didnt bother cast SoL (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) QUOTE It might be time for you to make the switch to Holy/Dark.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Weaken is supposed to stop critical hits entirely. I think you need to take your Weaken in for repairs, something's not right here.

My bad, by crit with weakened, i mean they used special attacks, those attacks usually costs me 1.4-2k HP each
Normally i only got 1-2 special attack at a time so at worst i only have to use cure II, that time i got 5 distinct red lines and the cute little box "you have been defeated". I was speechless for about 2 mins there.
PPS: maybe im confusing a bit here, let me sort it out first. My defeated earlier really got to me.

The mana conservation on yours and mine is okay for a one-handed weapon. You might be able to sell it for 30-50k, imo. This post has been edited by T_Starrk: Nov 19 2012, 10:47

Yay to godslayer (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Have to do it in Heroic though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) At least no more instant death (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE(Luxury_blood @ Nov 19 2012, 02:41)  good for you... yeah but i cant do arenas because i die...

well, i dont know the "ask the experts" section need know all about this game, be expert and more, SORRY ¬¬
I just stated some common knowledge. If you're still in trouble there must be some fundamental wrongs, not "expert" ones. For example, lower the difficulty to normal, and you can pretty much 2-hit everything just circling dark/holy; keep sv and regen up and you don't have to watch out for your hp all the time; remember name of those monsters who killed you/making trouble/... and deal with them first hand (weaken, silence, or outright kill them off first); etc. Sorry if it sounds offense, but that's all there is. This game can be slow, but it can't be hard. This post has been edited by Nekokon: Nov 19 2012, 12:35
