[X] My Assistant

I sent you something a bit better.

It should hold you over till someone can donate you an ethereal weapon (mace or estoc if you're sticking to 2H); or you buy one in the WTB forum.

eh... mine are ethereal maces of balance, pretty sure they are good enough. I am just trying to decide which one to equip.

Go with the higher damage mace.

Go with the higher damage mace.

I didn't say it because I just wanted to know about how the weapon primary attributes affects damage calculation. the other properties don't factor into my question.

the problem is the one with higher 401 damage only has 18% chance stun for 3 turns while the one with lower 327 damage has 26% chance stun for 4 turns

if the 327 mace has better primary attributes that boost the damage using strength and dexterity, then it's better for me to use the lower damage mace.

At your level, the its a horse-a-piece. Higher damage vs. better stun proc/duration. But you'll be hitting them often enough that it won't matter all that much. When in doubt with maces, damage wins out. unless it is really bad damage.

You were correct, strength adds +2 damage per point and dexterity adds +1 damage per point. But if you have both weapons you can just equip them to see the difference in damage.

Ethereal weapons only go so far as to how much damage void allows through, but monsters still have armor with PA can get through; and Maces are just good for tank players who want to sit back and wack everything behind a wall of stun.

I might have the void-mitgation-armor thing backwards, but it does work.

Thanks, that's the one thing I missed. I was under the impression that Void damage ignored all mitigation.

It's better to think of it this way to avoid future confusion if things change:— Void do not ignored monster mitigation; it just happen to be that every monster in HV (and even the player character) all have exactly 0 void mitigation, and currently there's no way to increase or reduce it— yet...



BTW, Katana sucks ... Niten, however, is nice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

and currently there's no way to increase or reduce it— yet...

Or ever will.

Void will likely never see resists. If it does, it means he lost his notes, or is coding drunk.

void will never be resisted, else it will just became another 'soul'

Well, but there is the truth, and the truth may hurt, but that's what it is.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, Void does (and will forever) effectively (even if not conceptually) bypass all specific physical mitigations. And all specific magical mitigations as well.

Well, but there is the truth, and the truth may hurt, but that's what it is.

  ... Oh please

Here's a hint : I've been a melee for 4 years straight now; not the oldest around here but still pretty old (I was here before ichy! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) ... I was there when eth is still soul, I still remember exactly who was the one who actively request for it to be changed, I was right here in this very forum when the patch that made eth to drop void instead went live ... And apart from that, I was one of the very few with enough balls to go screaming and moaning directly at Tenb continually for almost a full year if not more, demanding for melee to be improve at the time when most people are too busy facemelting mobs and don't give a shit about melee... And I succeed— the first ever direct boost to melee was a something like ~30-40% increased to phy dmg stats (ADM) ... Joy!

I'm with you here. Everything's going to change SOON ™ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

can anyone give me example how to count these?
1. PXP gain = roundup(Item round count * PXP modifier)
what does "roundup" mean?
2. PXP(x) = PXP(1) * (1 + PXP(1)/1000)^(x-1)
3. Total PXP needed = 1000*((1+PXP(1)/1000)^n - 1)
i am not really good with english. so could you use full formula? thanks. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

what does "roundup" mean?

EDIT: Nevermind, Falbala456's post below is simpler and better

Also, PXP(1) means the PXP needed to level the equit from level 0 to level 1 (I might be completely wrong here).

The first integer number over or under.

What magic attacks do the you high level mages use most often?

Usually it's holy/dark cycle, that's why those fenrir/heimdall equips are way more expansive than their elemental counterparts. Just don't mix them together; either full fenrir or full heimdall, then get a good katalox staff of destruction. If you want to be a more core player, there are many minor things to do, but it's the general direction.
