And the gear as well, You'll will be a lot better with elementalist gear now, the best avoidance you can get is by dead mobs, not some +5-10% extra evade, plus holy/dark is only for special cases (like legendaries). Get inferno, thunderstorm, including the ratings. Fill up HP/MP tanks, you can get rid of poison for now if you can't get much more AP. Remove AP of SP+OC as well.


I have an elementalist set with 10% less evade totalling about 38% elemental proficiency (not including staff) at my level. I'm assuming thats 19% more damage for 10% less evade if I got the formula right???

So its still better to attempt those arenas with a staff rather than battlecaster gear for defense?

If i used my staff I'd get 16.5 MDM, 25% MAC, +9 elem prof
+2% elec/fire

Using my Batlecaster rapier/sheild I'd get 15% MDM, 18% MACC, 4.4% parry, and 13% block
So switching to this id be trading -7% acc, the elem proficiciens and elemental ratings, for the block and parry.
Not worth the trade still?

Guess I'll at least trade the holy spells for fire and the OC for tanks. I got holy because it was the first tier 2 spell available. I'm training more AP for tanks atm, and use poison a lot when I go melee in easier arenas which I do at higher difficulty levels.

Edit: Is it more important to get hp/mp tanks or the elec/fire elemental ratings with the AP i'll get from restating overcharge? I'm leaning tanks because I think I'm too low level to be full mage focused.

I do have almsot the same problem as usahjj.
The Arena figths with more than 5 rounds are pretty hard for me i always do have to use all of my items(5) and and even if i use cure its still to hard because the monster especially the mini boss are hurting me to much (30-60 hp i think per round).
Here are my stats maybe someone does have a tip / suggestion for me

Your stats aren't bad, but you can leave INT behind more, and raise WIS which is much more important for you.
Light is crap unless you get good kevlar. For now you can stick with full heavy plate (highest physical absorption, but once you start to have arenas with mini-bosses in higher levels, switch to silk of high evade.
Use a rapier in main-hand(for PA=extra damage), and a dagger in off-hand (extra parry)

You're ignoring magic rating which we know that +1% increase means +2% damage so it's more than 19%.

You also lose CM which reduces MP cost by half if casted in the target, and that's important, plus ET/channeling.

I wasn't a mage at your level, but imo not worth.

Don't do it, it's a waste of time, leveling up should be your priority, and beating the firstly arenas at higher difficulties don't do nothing, use them instead to raise prof in cake setting.

+HP-> survive longer, +MP -> more casts.

You get more and less 1.5 hath per artifact in long run, that can give you an idea. Wait that's completely wrong (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
huh +100 hath is good.

It's both.

The first 4 stats should be close or equal to your level, you can leave INT behind more, and raise WIS which is much more important for you.
Light is crap unless you get good kevlar. For now you can stick with full heavy plate (highest physical absorption, but once you start to have arenas with mini-bosses in higher levels, switch to silk of high evade.
Fixed just for you.

2H is a style with low acc, so if you're having too much misses, get a longsword/katana of "balance".
Your Ability tree should be like this (check the 2nd attachment)

You have crappy gear, and you fucked stats, so it's normal.
Get Full heavy Plate with most high physical absorption it's better for you until +50 levels later.
Don't use buckers, find a kite with good block, and use a rapier. For 2H use a longsword/katana.
mage is ineffective in lower levels.
Get weaken, and fill up the rest of MP tanks first.
Stats: all at your level, then with the rest xp, raise WIS more than INT. (You'll have to raise at +4 levels to reach this)

I spend the exp best I can, but I really can't help with the equipment (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Credit is hard to earn, if I use healer, there's not going to be any net gain. With full heavy, wouldn't that being too much burden? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
And weaken is used to make the upperlevel monster doing much less damage? It can only cast to one monster? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Buy equipment from other players in WTS or just request some in WTB, you'll save more credits.

Yes you'll get double or triple hit, but each hit will be very small, and in case of cake IW you'll take 0 damage for several rounds.

Weaken half the physical damage, and also prevent physical crits, it's good for using against mini-bosses in arena, that is until you start to get several of them, but this happens at higher level, when heavy start to be less effective and you need to switch to high evade. (because when hits are superior to 100 points, mitigation/evade is better than absorption)

Iv been reading a bit and it seams that having a mix of light armor and cloth armor is better for 2h since cloth has lower burden and no interference and interference lowers your cure proficiency, so my question is that what light armor should i change to cloth but i still wont lose all my mitigation

No, a mix of heavy and cloth would be better if your're going to go that route. Leather is generally worthless. Also, at your level, absorb > mitigation.

Get 1 or 2 pieces of good plate. Body/Legs are usually best. Rest cloth.

Sweet Hey is having a avoid based character possible or should i just stack on heavy body/legs like you said and rest silk of the protection. Does that sound like a good build or no

Full evade won't be as effective at your level since you can't really get a decent amount. Also, absorb is still effective at your level as opposed to being pretty worthless at high levels.

So concentrate on absorb now and evade later around 50+?

You don't cast only thunderstorm, that's only the first spell, then you cast inferno.




Worked, Blazing field and Fresh Meat were a lot easier today after getting the fire spells, restating OC to tanks, and not fighting with my evade set. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

finally hit level 100... thinking of resetting my APs...

i am thinking of reallocating my AP in both wind and ice to holy rating, reallocate my cure to cure 2.

after which i will complete the holy rating, and then start on sparks of life.

i am thinking of holding off on soul until i have APs to spare since the only monsters soul is useful against is Real Life and the boss level monsters.

what do you guys think?

Get weaken, bewilder, and haste or SV first it will be good for Bosses, normal things like IW.
Fill all HP/MP tanks, ok with fire/elec spells, but get 2nd tier of cold, and leave 1nd tier of holy, master the 2nd instead. After all this, get absorb (Great with channeling (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), and spark, cure II. For preparation for RL leave 1 AP so you can raise the prof, but imo don't waste AP's for soul (or wind) just for a single battle when you need so much AP yet. In case of Konata you can even kill her without wind, using other elemental spell, just takes longer to kill that's all.

For White Bunneh. You will encounter many times in arenas (duh), and with 1st tier is too long to kill. (You can use the soul spell, but it's more expensive, and slower, plus you don't have the extra damage from elementalist prof in gear/staff)
