[X] My Assistant

I wear 3x plate and 2x power equipment.

I wonder is power or plate the better choice at my level?
Since its said that Hit Chance is very important (my current is 133.9%).

Should I go for full power armor, or leave it the way it is??

Edit: And for lightarmor shade or kevlar?
+ Im not sure how high should interference and burden be?

Kevlar of Protection set with one good piece of Shade of the Fleet. Works for me. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Unless you're doing lower difficulties, you'll probably want a plate piece or two to balance out the lack of pmi from running power-slaughters.

Hey guys, been a while since I paid attention to HV, seems I've missed a lot. So i figured I'd come around and see how badly I've messed my build up. I know I'm gonna need gear upgrades since all my stuff is old school.

My build I'm going for is basically just like a Paladin type build I guess. I'm basically trying to make it further than just round 78 for Item world. I can just barely survive those 78 rounds, but I feel that I should be able to do more.

Any advice on gear upgrades to look for, stats, etc would be very much appreciated. To understand my character best, just think of a Paladin, heavy armor, heals himself with cure and uses protection, that's about all I do since all the other magic for my build kinda sux lol.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Dont have any legendary (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) im so poor but. I think I will stay the way Im and mix power with plate.
Damn but my lightarmor is only shade(with only 1x shade of fleet) lol. I think i will change some pieces to Kevlar of Protection

Thx for the advice.

ok first of all remove the ability points from exp tanks. You wont relly need that much exp, if u want more exp train adept lerner instead (maybe 100-150 pints).
Put some in spark of life 5x, weaken 5x and mana/health tanks(keep the mana/hp tanks always full), and maybe even some in spirit tanks.

Not sure but some more scroll and infusion slots could be helpful too. Absorb wont help u that much at your current level but if u stil want to keep it put only 1-2 in it.U can add more later on if u are around level 200 if u still want it.(Im not really a fan of absorb I wouldnt use it at all)


Your equipment doesnt look that bad but Im not an expert at fighting with a shield gear.The others can probably tell u more about it

Nope, he/she/it don't need shadow veil.
In fact all heavy armour only don't need shadow veil, the same apply to shade user that don't need protection.
And he/she/it is rare 1h user, so advice from me is change your weapon to rapier of slaughter and that warding armour to barrier or protection.

Thank you very much for the advice, so far I got rid of all my exp slots, and now have HP maxed, MP all but 3 points, and added a bunch of spirit tank boosts (i found that spirit makes a huge difference). I also got rid of the points in absorb, it was temporary to try it but don't like it. Unfortunately I don't find a lot of use out of scrolls and infusions, but could be i just don't understand them all too well.

To start, it's he. lol.

Thank you for the info. I got rid of shadow veil and got more spirit and mana from it. Sweet, thank you for the info on the armor. I'll definitely look for a mag or legend rapier of slaughter, but what about a sword version that could help me recover mana? Like the suffix that has a chance to absorb mp? The warding is a very old piece I just didn't find better at the time. I'm gonna be looking for probably pull plate power and protection or barrier. Would you say those r good options or stick with just the rapier and full plate of protection?

but what about a sword version that could help me recover mana? Like the suffix that has a chance to absorb mp?

Nah I wouldnt use such weapons with the siphon(mana, hp, spirit) shit they arent really helpful, slaughter is the much better choice here.
U can try to find a good weapon with mana conservation, but good weapon with with that are rare and probably very expensive.

ah ok then. I have some credits, not millions lol.

You might want to be careful with your wording here, at lower level/difficulty this surely isn't wrong, but at higher level in long IWs/GFs SV is definitely useful for heavy. And I doubt protection is uselss for light either.

Should I be salvaging Superior/Exquisite equips or should I NPC them? The wiki doesn't seem to have a lot of info on salvaging besides just whether or not they'll give an item. I salvaged a couple of items and only got low grade materials.

Also does any of the prefixes or suffixes on items matter when salvaging, ie. if you salvage something that is "of slaughter" do you have a chance of getting a binding of slaughter?

I often use protection for light and SV for heavy. It's the last buff I use for those two styles but every bit helps when you have the mana to spare.

Not sure if mine is the best method, but I only salvage ex+ tier 1 stuff, as they have a pretty good chance for mid grades usually.
Superior stuff is worth more than a low-grade from just the bazar value, so I don't bother with the small chance for a mid-grade there.

Suffixes don't matter, you only get x-grades out of equipment unless you forged it.

Salvaging is somewhat of a gamble, there is no guarantee that you won't get low grade mat from an Exquisite,
just lower chance from that of a Superior, but in general, higher quality equipment gives you a chance to get higher grade of material

I know some people tried to use potency pxp to determine whether to sell or salvage an item,
I personally use this kind of method as well, ie: I don't bother salvaging Sup quality stuff under 305 pxp on LV0


Tier 2 or 3 of Sup quality can have around the same or higher price of the market price for a mid grade mat, so I don't salvage stuff like superior scythe of whatever either.

and no, salvaging doesn't work like that, although I sure would like it to be that way (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

you can only have a "chance" to get bindings back from salvaging a piece of equipment that has already been forged with that certain kind of binding,
ie: binding of slaughter from a weapon that had physical hit damage upgraded.

Hello,
I've been using e-hentai for years but I only played HV casually. Now, I'd like to take it a bit more seriously and get to lvl 250/300, and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys could answer. First, here are my stats (gear is in my signature) :

[www.pixhost.org] (IMG:[t4.pixhost.org] http://t4.pixhost.org/thumbs/2020/15562926_stats.jpg)

1. I never, ever use focus. It gives a ridiculously small amount of mana, and it nullifies my evade (which kind of defeats the purpose of wearing shade), so that seemed like a bad idea. Am I wrong ?

2. I only use mana potions. Problem is, I currently consume a lot more than I loot them. I still have 400+ godly mana pots (I stocked them back when I was playing at Hell difficulty or lower), but I'm afraid I'm going to run out at some point.
I have a big stockpile of 900+ health pots, but their effect seems really weak. Should I use them nonetheless ? Also, spirit pots seem to drop rarely and I don't have many of them, even though I don't use any. I don't need them at the moment, but how do you guys deal with that after lvl 200 ? Do you buy them ?

3. I use my overcharge solely for physical skills. Rending blows make rounds a lot faster, and shatter strike helps me a lot when there are 7+ enemies together. I never use spirit stance since it consumes spirit and doesn't seem to deal much more damage than physical skills. Honestly, it doesn't seem productive. Am I missing something ?

4. I play arenas on Battletoads difficulty, and IWBTH for the first ones that don't have many rounds. I always keep haste, shadow veil, protection, regen II and heartseeker (that I recently acquired and love) on me. I use protection since I don't have spirit shield yet, and it prevents monsters from one-shoting me (most of the time ;_;). I'm planning to replace the former with the latter at level 190. Will that be enough, or should I keep both ? Will I need a lot of spirit pots to sustain it ?

5. The basic spells rotation above usually works well for 40 or 50 rounds in Battletoads, but then I suddenly get stuff like that :

[www.pixhost.org] (IMG:[t4.pixhost.org] http://t4.pixhost.org/thumbs/2020/15562927_arrow-of-sodomy.jpg)

Is that normal ? I don't think my gear is bad, and I doubt I could get enough mitigation on shade armor to survive that anyway. I never use spark of life since it eats up so much mana to keep it constantly active, and, like in that example, it would have been a complete waste for the previous 43 rounds. Should I still do it despite all that ? An alternative would be to cast silence on every monster (since I only get killed by special attacks), but that would take even more mana.

6. Are my proficiencies high enough ? Frankly, it's a pain to grind them, but well, if I have to, I have to. For some reason my light armor proficiency is super low, even though I've always been wearing full shade since lvl 80 or so. At first I thought evades weren't taken into account, but the wiki says otherwise. Any way to improve that other than normal combat ?

7. Whenever I have 3 tokens of blood, I kill FSM in normal difficulty for the noodly appendage (which I sell for credits later). I tried it in nightmare and hell difficulties one time each, just out of curiosity. The fights were just as easy as in normal mode, except much, much longer. I cast only regen II on me, keep weaken + silence on him, then proceed to hold "1" on my keyboard... Thrilling, really. But aside from the noodly appendage, he still dropped crap. Is there any real benefit for killing him in high difficulty ?

8. If you see anything else in my stats / gear that looks wrong, don't hesitate to tell me or even yell at me for being retarded. I don't mind.

Hmm 2H with light armor O.o but well if u really want to

1. I never, ever use focus. It gives a ridiculously small amount of mana, and it nullifies my evade (which kind of defeats the purpose of wearing shade), so that seemed like a bad idea. Am I wrong ?

Thre is nothing wrong with using focus to recover all of your mana u used before. If u have a high OC u can probably recover around 200-300 mana points at once. I think u might want to have some extra mana . Just weaken or silence the last monster and spam Focus. I dont really see a problem there.I usually get all of my used mana points back.

2. I only use mana potions. Problem is, I currently consume a lot more than I loot them. I still have 400+ godly mana pots (I stocked them back when I was playing at Hell difficulty or lower), but I'm afraid I'm going to run out at some point.
I have a big stockpile of 900+ health pots, but their effect seems really weak. Should I use them nonetheless ? Also, spirit pots seem to drop rarely and I don't have many of them, even though I don't use any. I don't need them at the moment, but how do you guys deal with that after lvl 200 ? Do you buy them ?

I had the same problem as u before I started to use focus. and now I get much more potions than I really need because I rarely use them. Just give Focus a try.

3. I use my overcharge solely for physical skills. Rending blows make rounds a lot faster, and shatter strike helps me a lot when there are 7+ enemies together. I never use spirit stance since it consumes spirit and doesn't seem to deal much more damage than physical skills. Honestly, it doesn't seem productive. Am I missing something ?

O.o spirit stance gives u damage x2 + lower cost for spells, just put some more ability points in the spirit tanks. .By the way show us your Ability tree plz.

4. I play arenas on Battletoads difficulty, and IWBTH for the first ones that don't have many rounds. I always keep haste, shadow veil, protection, regen II and heartseeker (that I recently acquired and love) on me. I use protection since I don't have spirit shield yet, and it prevents monsters from one-shoting me (most of the time ;_;). I'm planning to replace the former with the latter at level 190. Will that be enough, or should I keep both ? Will I need a lot of spirit pots to sustain it ?

No keep both protection + spirit shield is good. I think I know why u run out of mana so fast because u use too many spells at once + without focus. Try to switch between haste and shadow veil not both at the same time(if your mana is low) and try to use the spells in spirit stance to save some mp.

5. The basic spells rotation above usually works well for 40 or 50 rounds in Battletoads, but then I suddenly get stuff like that :

Well u need spark of life or sprit shield. To avoid that problem use spark of life if u have a mana gem. Your armor isnt that bad it seems(but I would use kevlar instead of shade since u have a 2H weapon too more phy/mag mitgation) but why do u use 2H with light armor?.

6. Are my proficiencies high enough ? Frankly, it's a pain to grind them, but well, if I have to, I have to. For some reason my light armor proficiency is super low, even though I've always been wearing full shade since lvl 80 or so. At first I thought evades weren't taken into account, but the wiki says otherwise. Any way to improve that other than normal combat ?

Nope your 2H prof is ok but your light armor prof isnt that great. 50-75% of your current level should be normal. But thats wihout a doubt below that.
Well u can grind it at item world just pick up a crude equipment and grind it on iwtbh(fastes way) or just wait till it catches your level.

7. Whenever I have 3 tokens of blood, I kill FSM in normal difficulty for the noodly appendage (which I sell for credits later). I tried it in nightmare and hell difficulties one time each, just out of curiosity. The fights were just as easy as in normal mode, except much, much longer. I cast only regen II on me, keep weaken + silence on him, then proceed to hold "1" on my keyboard... Thrilling, really. But aside from the noodly appendage, he still dropped crap. Is there any real benefit for killing him in high difficulty ?

Dont waste the tokens now wait till you can defeat him on IWTBH the drops will be much better. Well lets say "almost" much better because its still just luck whether u get a good or bad drops but your chances to get some good stuff will increase.

besides what others have said, luck and how much the gamble cost.

I salvage t1 sups 300 pxp plus, and generally the ones that are less than 800c. Figure out a price point at which you'd rather just take the credits.

My current luck with exqs and mags is abysmal so i'm thinking of giving up on exq worth more than 800c.
