No sure what I should be aiming for in gear. I'd doing DW with a high parry dagger and then more or less random heavy armor

rapier on offhand, you need to make holes on those monsters armor.

the common used combination is axe+rapier+heavy armor or club+rapier+light armor
with already high PMI heavy armor you seek more damage from axe, while light melee focusing on crits to proc stun&PA as much as possible.

it seems pretty plain to me, but i have the suspicion that you are not so good with english...
the answer is no.
if you want to earh GPs you have to be the uploader of the torrent or the owner of the gallery, better if you are both at the same time.
just downloading a torrent and seeding it won't earn you anything.
but you should still seed the torrents you download for a while.

Thanks Malenk for the answer.
It is like you said. i am not really good with english.
i think uploading is almost like seeding. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

So I shouldn't worry about having a lower parry chance when I switch to a rapier?
Also would the damage bonus from the axe offset the loss of void strike on my main hand? (and to a lesser extent the stun proc)

I haven't switched to an axe yet because I thought the ethereal stat was more beneficial overall.

just change your dagger into rapier , that enough at the moment (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

use protection suffix if you want to use plate (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I have a question about upgrading equipment. I've read the wiki over and over but it just isn't clicking.

Are the only two ways to upgrade by 1. entering item world and 2. using forge?

I did #1 on a sample item and now it says its level 71/250 but I don't see any difference in stats or anything.

For #2, where can I find the materials for upgrading like the bindings or metals? Only random drops?

1st , when the PXP exp is enough it will gain 1 lvl of potency ( the potency is random depend on how much PAB you have on that weapon , but if you have 4 PAB than it will be butcher or swift strike ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


2nd , binding can only be found by getting gift from your mobs while material can be found either from gift or salvaging your equipment (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You missed out that such mats/bindings can also be bought from the WTS forum, provided that one has enough credits & luck. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

and you both forgot that you can get bindings shrining pony figurines.
yes, you got owned, send credits to me.

Can you go axe + rapier (offhand) with light armor instead of heavy?

I've seen people tell me a few times to get a low tier spell to compliment a higher tier one.

I can't understand this logic, because obviously the reason you get a low tier spell is to get the status effect that compliments the higher tier one.

So why not get a high tier because it more often procs the status effect to make the other spell better?


In the advice wiki it tells me to get purge and pestilence to grind prof, not banish and pestilence.

Is the lower mana cost really warranted? On some occasions I would have to cast purge twice where I would've only needed to cast banish once, meaning more cast time, meaning more damage on me, meaning I have to cast a healing spell.

You can, its not like there's some rule. You kill faster with axe over club, but take more damage.

Wouldn't I be forced to grind proficiency, though?
Also to get gear similar to my current gear, I'd need around 1 mil probably, no?

Grinding magic proficiencies is much easier than melee/armor. It took me several days to grind up to 250prof of holy/dark from zero, switching from elemental to dark/holy. I'm still only halfway! to my level with melee, party bc I am lazy to do it, and my gear sucks.

To get GREAT holy/dark gear in exquisite, it might cost >2million credits. Not to mention a nice staff, which can be at minimum, 250k.

But Flying Pasta Monster is weak to Holy, so that is a benefit, not to mention undeads, humanoids, celestials, and daimons are weak to holy/dark. And you have access to Ragnarok. It is really your choice; you could also wait until the mage patch is integrated, your elemental magic might be even stronger than before....

@wega
most of elemental mages change into holy / dark mages (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
it's hard to find high LvL ( 300+ ) mages that use elemental magic (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
( maybe just 1% that still use elemental like n125 & hito )
But in the end , it is up to you to decide (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
@night

use protection (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
i think it's better to increase your PMI (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

better combine power slaughter & plate but the main problem is good power slaughter price is very expensive (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

expensive is an understatement for good slaughter....

Ok, guess I'll go with PMI/higher burden over the leet Warding sexiness of the Legendary...wonder I much I can get for it in my shop.... or an auction... 500K at least?

Wega993: Mastering the art of using lower tier spell on normal and the like when there are 1 or less resistant mobs is vitally important for your mana consumption. Furthermore, the explosion damage doesn't depend on what inflicts or explodes the proc, merely on your score in the explosion element.

Also, while you don't need to switch to holy/dark exactly now in 50 levels or so the monsters that start with 25 Wind will be real pains.

non-protection suffix plates was never that appreciated.

Actually, it does. You just have to make the logical conclusions.

Potency unlocks add stats that the equipment piece does not already possess (with the exception of damage stats and action speed bonus for weapons)

Logical follow-on: Whatever stats currently NOT available on the equipment, as well as ADB (Butcher) and Atk Speed (Swift Strike) are the only ones that IW can unlock.

{Potency Table}

Logical follow-on: Melee weapons can only have 4 PABs.

So, if you have a melee weapon that has natural 4 PABs, then the only 2 potencies that can be unlocked are Butcher and Swift Strike.
