QUOTE(HigherMakoto @ Jan 4 2013, 17:51)  Do scrolls stack with spell effects?
Yes, or I should say, scroll effects are independent from spell effects.

QUOTE(varst @ Jan 2 2013, 18:08)  As t15 said, scythe or estoc. But hum...what's the potions you bring into battles? And what's the spells you use in battles?
Also, your shield armors' links! I can tell you shield armor needs block, PMI and PABs, but without the actual stats I can't even suggest you to keep that or change into more favorable armors!
I usually cast shield, regen, flame spike. If I battles in exp X10 mode, I also cast spike of life at the beginning of game. When I raise to 90s, I starting using the god / superior potions, eventually starts running out of stock, so I switch back to the "greater" potions. I am recently learning Haste, its effect seems to do not much for me. How should I set my abilities? [attachmentid=21326] [attachmentid=21327] [attachmentid=21328] [attachmentid=21329] [attachmentid=21330] [attachmentid=21331] [attachmentid=21332] [attachmentid=21333] [attachmentid=21334] This post has been edited by badmoonedition: Jan 4 2013, 16:02

Heyas folks, So, tried my luck again in the item world on the mace, with hitting the Butcher this time. So my next question is rather obvious: while not expecting miracles, would it be best to hope for a Swift Strike to land for the next one, and then run the rest of the item worlds by ear, or since Butcher landed, will Swift Strike be removed from the chances of dropping? Also if I decided to start forging extras on to this and then decided against the build, will the amnesia shards take off those added on by the forge? laters, RRViper (who also forgets at times that he's only been around for about 60 days, and some people have been around much, much longer)

Besides what aiwotorimodose have said, existing potency has better chance to repeat itself when IWing. QUOTE(badmoonedition @ Jan 4 2013, 21:51)  I usually cast shield, regen, flame spike.

Please give the equips' links, I can't read its base through screen cap. Haste is useful, you should max that ASAP at your level and use that. If you can finish your arena with greater potion, it's okay to use them. Otherwise, it's better to buy godly mana potions and play on the highest difficulty you feel comfortable with.

Don't bother with high difficulty IWs at your level, clearing on hard should be good enough for you. Main thing, get better weapons, yours pretty much suck I'd say. Get a slaughter club with better stun chance and high damage, More PABs if you plan to IW it in the future, too. oyzkkkk sells a pretty decent one in his shop I think. As for the offhand - balance rapier with decent proc/acc/parry.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) However I have a question... the rapier that u sent is better than my dagger? Rapier: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=e818ff33a3Dagger: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=7c2cfc0429The dagger have 21.84% parry chance and the rapier 10.20%... Wasn't parry chance an important factor? QUOTE(Temchy @ Jan 4 2013, 18:42)  Don't bother with high difficulty IWs at your level, clearing on hard should be good enough for you.

Rapier is better, yes, the PA proc will help your damage by a lot (moreso the higher level you are) the puny bleed from the dagger doesn't compare. Where did you spend all your credits? Trainings? Personally, I didn't bother (much) with training until I had decent equips, that is superior/exquisite those will help you far more than some expensive trainings, especially at lower levels. Just do all your arenas on the highest possible difficulty and save up for a few days, this should get decent equipment quite fast. (well, depending on what Evil Scorpio sent you (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) Stats, maybe some more dex&agi with light armor, evening them out with str&end. Don't pay attention to profs until 200+, yours are fine already. Abilities are alright, fill up the SP tanks next, more SP = longer spirit stance. You might want to get spark by level.. 160 or so, I think thats when spirit bars show up. Depends on the difficulty you play, though.

Rapier will be more useful later on once monsters start having insane mitigation (somewhere around 170 now?), currently it doesn't matter too much. Arenas are the main source of credits now, do them on the highest difficulty you can.

That seems reasonable, it's good to keep stats (other than int) somewhat balanced to maximize cost-efficiency. Monsters will have spirit bars at around level 160, which is like their mp bars, but their spirit attacks require 100% spirit and deals tons of damage to light armor users so you might want to pick up spark of life soon. I would say overcharge takes priority until you can use frenzied blows, max spirit tanks after.

OK, understood, but on IWBTH (random econunter and first 7 arenas difficulty) I found almost 90% of monster with spirit bar. I can survive thanks to Silence and Weaken. This post has been edited by pigowallace: Jan 4 2013, 18:48

1) yea, might be somewhat different for light users and someone more knowledgeable should chip in, but at least you shouldn't go wrong with that, 2) as in higher PL monsters with a spirit bar/attack that could oneshot you depending on difficulty 3) after the obvious hp/mp tanks, regen II, heartseeker, spark or spirit shield, (when you get to those higher tiers) yes.
