[X] My Assistant

Hi everyone, it's been some time.
Could everyone give me some advice on my character. He hasn't been quite able to 1hko all normal rounds O_O, while struggling in BT and IWBTH.
Not sure if the problem is in the set/pabs etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

Set in sig

you need lot of agi, go buy some normal clothes

Normal = with agi, int and wis ?

Normal = with agi, int and wis ?

normal = int + wis + agi

and in these days, no one can do 1 hit kill all the time, becuase the resists from mobs

There's several problems here.
On normal, you are going to 1-hit less monsters as they start to have HP/holy/resist chaos upgrades. That's something you'll need to get accustomed to.

On BT/IWBTH, heimdall isn't the best suffix in terms of power output. If you want to have do better, try fenrir as it's the powerhouse. Besides, dark spells' debuff also decrease the damage dealt to you.
If you want some fenrir suit, target those with better AGI and EDB as dark spells take more time to cast.

Also, adjust your primary stats. Your INT/WIS is too high; I would keep the adjustable part at 110% of level, then put the rest of EXP into AGI/END while keeping STR/DEX at around 90% to your level.

@Varst and Eqwer
Ah thx. TIME TO CONVERT TO THE DARK SIDE.
Wonder if anyone'll be willing to trade Fenrirs for my Heimdalls....

You still need your heimdall for situation like low-difficulty grinding and against FSM, so it's still useful. It's always better for mages to have more than one set of phases for the flexibility. In fact, it's always better for HV players to have several set of independent equips for diversification; For example, heavy + estoc is also good in high difficulty. Of course, they should be able to afford the cost first.

1HKO even on Normal is luck to a certain extent. You can brute force through resistance to a large extent, but then there's that one bastard who invested in max Holy resist and a pile of Endurance (Mechs in particular can do that). Spell resists are just something we have to take on the chin as well, and are unaffected by difficulty. You won't be able to afford a good Fenrir suit and Destruction staff with 600k, but you can do a decent Fenrir suit and a Fenrir or Focus Staff with that. I think invested something like 400-500k into the Fenrir I'm presently using, and just noticed that none of it has AGI at all, which annoys me now.

Edit: define 'struggling' with BT/IWBTH. Killed all the time? Can't do more than a 10 round arena? 50 rounds?

Hi, im a newbie here. I'm doing grindfest in hard difficulty with my lv 6x mage and often being defeated around round 40 for out of potion and max at round 5x when the mobs can even kill me full health in 1 round. I'm asking is that a normal for a run or i'm too weak. Any suggest would help.

Monsters' damage increase by 1% per round in Grindfest/ItemWorld. I would say 40-50 rounds on hard is pretty good for a lv.60 mage.

is difficulty setting effect the chance for token of blood appear as a reward in arena ??

No, it's only affected by the arena you choose. The lower it's on the list (thus longer and harder), the better chance you'll get token as part of the clear bonus. Even so, there's still chance for that to be chaos tokens.

Ty, btw do you suggest to increase the difficult level or is it better to stay at this rank?

so it's mean that the token drop pure randomly depend on luck & arena challengge (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Luck of the draw
Quartermaster only increase equipment drop chance

Can't be sure. Things will get easier and you can play much longer on the same difficulty when you level up. On the other hand, raising the difficulty will give better rewards. Eventually you'll unlock and spend most of your time in arenas.
What I choose to do a long time ago is to increase the difficulty once I reach around 100 rounds on the same difficulty, but that's not a must.

Quartermaster increase the chance while LotD increase the quality. Both are important so you may want to level them evenly (in terms of credits).

I am a newb lvl 66. melee user 1h. I normaly survive grindfest around lvl 3x at heroic lvl. Does dualwield is more advantage than using a buckler in term of survivability.

@t15 & varst
thanks for quick answer (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

lastly , how to gain credit if arena currently unavaible and grindfest now doesn't drop credit anymore ??

random encounter is always there for you

and bazaar all of your useless thingies

No where else to ask really, so I'll just ask here. The gifts we got...I saw someone wanted to buy one of them on wtb and I was wondering are they especially special or just someone collecting? Also, I am thinking of just holding on to them...would that be a waste since they all are asking to be used with their descriptions.
