1. For melee players, what are good strategies to keep spamming Deprecating & Supportive magic without exhausting Mana?

Focus staff + weaken for deprecating, DW or OH + shield battlecaster (whatever gives you the most MC) and spikes for supportive

If you keep up protection, veil, spirit shield, heartseeker, regen, haste all the time while you do your arenas or whathaveyou all the time, your professions will be pretty respectable. Yes, you can keep them all up without IA slots with good frequency using focus on last mob.

I try to spend my Overcharge on Focusing like this most of the time, I was just wondering if it's ever more worth it to use Skills or Spirit Stance over just using the OC to recover mana?
I use Heavy armor, and I generally lose more HP than a Cure recovers while Focusing my 175% OC up, I'm starting to feel like it might just be better to use it on Frenzied Blows and wipe the round of mobs whenever I can afford it.

So, does Spark of Life makes a player temporarily invincible? Can I still be killed if I don't cast Cure right after my HP is down to its last bit while SoL is active?

When Spark of Life is triggered Cloak of the Fallen procs, which grants full immunity to damage during the turn that Spark triggers. Each additional AP put into Spark of Life after the first adds a turn of +75% physical and magical mitigation bonus after the original proc.

Technically you can be killed, but I don't recall having been killed that way. Unless you get hit by a crit skill on IWBTH or something it should be safe if you have Haste (and SV) up.

Sure you can, if you don't cast cure and get hit by 120% of your HP. Since it only leaves you with 30%

You cannot die when you proc spark. All damage is basically ignored that turn. The following turns you will gain cloak of the fallen which will reduce your damage taken by 75%. You could die while that is up, but it is much harder to do so, a little healing will cure those ails.

Just focus spam when there is only one left, and the weakest one at that. That really will bump up your skills long term. Frenzied blows is great when it kills off almost all monsters, otherwise you'll be taking a ton more damage from them (damaged do 20% more, agitated do another 20, or 25%). That may not happen without more OC tanks.

Arxdewn: If you need mana that much, consider using Illthid or Battlecaster. Or lowering the difficulty. Because the time taken to focus spam isn't probably worth it.

I just looked at HV wiki hotkeys page and found nothing, but just to be sure, there are no ways to put my specific fighting style skills in hotkeys, are there?

I actually looked around and found that:

Skill Script

But it seems not to be working, are there any alternatives?

Tiap no longer supports his wonderful scripts. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Have a look at HV Keybinds. You can assign skills, spells, and other actions to pretty much any key and key combination.

Thanks! That's precisely what I want, actually (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is this Scythe something worth?
Exquisite Ethereal Scythe of Balance

It has a nice price tag in the shop. ^^

Is it just me or are we getting more riddles?

It's the same for all players.

Since Void damage ignores armor, piercing armor + void damage is entirely pointless?

Void ignores Crushing, Piercing, Slashing resist. Physical Mitigation still affects it (and monster PMI is definitely noticeable at our level). PAx3 + Void means you ignore all damage reductions (might only need x2 if it's additive rather than multiplicative).

Exq+ Ethereal Estocs of Slaughter are expensive for a reason.

I just reached lvl 130 and I think my Evade just dropped a bit by that. Is that so? If yes, why?
