QUOTE(aloc1234 @ Feb 28 2013, 16:18)  Ok I'm just going to ask something very slowly.
Someone - anyone - can get 30k crystals/ hour?(except from HTTP)
Old numbers, i can grind more and surely HTTP can grind even more than me if he wants to. This post has been edited by danixxx: Mar 1 2013, 09:57

It seems fine to me. A lot of rolls in this game tend to happen in bunches, and artifact rolls are no exception.

So, these new light armor prefixes. Which is better - Reinforced or Agile? And those with Ruby, Jade, Cobalt & Amber prefix - useful or trash?

Agile is better. Light armor set-ups would benefit more from increased speed than a small boost to specific mitigations. The elemental mitigation prefixes are better than nothing, but they are definitely the "troll" prefixes (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . Still, better to have any prefix than no prefix, but given that every legendary gets a prefix anyway, I would be disappointed if I got one of the elemental mitigations (in fact I already have, some Legendary Amber Plate Gauntlets of Protection, oh why couldn't you have been shielding? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ). This post has been edited by T_Starrk: Mar 1 2013, 18:23

QUOTE(Falbala456 @ Mar 1 2013, 13:59)  If you're going melee, try to focus mainly on the fourth first. You'll end up maxing them all at some point anyway.
Nerf no, Regen II yes by all means.
Regen II has huge mana cost. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) At least it could last 3x more than Regen I. QUOTE(T_Starrk @ Mar 2 2013, 00:22)  Agile is better.

All next tier heals are less efficient than the previous if you only compare the numbers, but you're basically paying for the increase in healing power over an equivalent period. It's something like +70% healing for +100% cost between regen1 & regen2.

The problem is that Regen II is now too slow. The old system had Regen II working at the same speed as Regen (per-turn basis), where Regen II healed 33% more and lasted 150% longer, but cost 300% the mana of Regen. Because of the per-turn effect, over time Regen II kept you on the >50% HP mark longer. Now, it's per-tick basis, and the amount healed is too spread out for either to keep you from Sparking if you had a bad care of the RNG shits. In order to keep from Sparking, you have to micromanage your HP and Cure as soon as your HP hits critical - and if you do that, Regen II's higher HP return will essentially be wasted. After testing both directions, I can say with confidence that generally, you save mana by casting Regen - and you cast Regen II only on Channeling, or to proc it for Heartseeker.

Regen, either of them, is no longer as reliable a heal over time, but in a typical BT arena, unless there are no more than 2 boss+ or 2 customs that have been weakened (for example aoi phoenix/lind/celeste + a weaker mob), I will still lose more mp using regen1 because of the turns wasted curing. Maybe it's different for you, but that's my situation.

It's mostly a change in how you perceive it. Before we could just stay at max hp or close to, now your hp bar moves up and down constantly. You have to pay more attention to your hps and not let yourself too low because of spirits attacks and such. But baiscally regen does his job.
And yes, Regen II cost a ton, before I had Earthseeker it was my primary spell to cast under channeling.

I never forged armor so far, so I want to make sure I understood wiki correctly: If my cloth robe needs a crystalized phazon to be upgraded, after using it once I won't need to use it again, right?

QUOTE For rarer equipment (phase, kevlar, shade, power, shield armors) a special component is required to upgrade them by a level in a stat. Doing so however, allows for all other stats to be upgraded to that level without another special component. Shade and power armors, in particular, will require at least 50 special components to fully upgrade its physical damage.
Based on that, you are wrong. You need 1 Phazon to raise 1 stat by 1 level, after that you don't need more Phazons to raise every other stat by one level, but you will need another Phazon to raise any stat to level 2, and so on.

True, true, thanks. This does increase the cost that I expected by a whole lot, though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

After maxing out HP/MP tanks, try to fit in some SP tanks pvercharge. Weaken and Haste a very good skills, so try to get those too ASAP.

QUOTE(LawlietKlaw @ Mar 2 2013, 01:02)  Kinda new to the game. Well, fairly. I've just been going off of basic rpg stuff to get me through the game. Ehm, anyhow, can anyone suggest any tips for what I have going on here? Please and thank you. [ i45.tinypic.com] http://i45.tinypic.com/678cib.png[ i48.tinypic.com] http://i48.tinypic.com/2uysilh.png[ i50.tinypic.com] http://i50.tinypic.com/1113xo8.pngEdit: How do you make images thumbnails? Get weaken and haste and fill out the health and mana tanks! Spirit tanks is also useful later. Ignore exp tanks. Train Ability Boost and some Pack Rat. If you want to use light armor, which might be a good idea in this patch, use kevlar of protection or shade of fleet/shadowdancer. I will send you some decent kevlar. As for your stats you shouldn't let wisdom fall behind (mana is important for every style). Intelligence you can leave behind but not this much. For choice of weapons: dual-wield is a good choice for the early arenas. Daggers work but the common choice is slaughter club and balance rapier. It is up to you!
