[X] My Assistant

I have all heavy/2hand abilities, pretty much maxed support(except arcane focus/spikes), but nothing in dep... haven't casted weaken since patch... just imperil every once in a while...

I'm training dw-light(120/60) because my 2h/heavy profs are both @lvl 281. all spell profs are about 276 (what it was when patch hit).

well my heavy kit is "whatever was in my inventory". so I'm guessing my damage output is way lower... whats your base damage just so I have an idea. also health/mana/pot ratio?

never done looong fights with melee before, as mage i went 2spirit, rest mana

@Mantra: Although the burden issue is now less than pre-patch - if you feather you can use an elemental mace or estoc with shade now it's still there. But the main issue is that light avoidance - evade - doesn't trigger counters while heavy avoidance - block - does.

I believe power would work the best though given the decreased monster damage.

Estoc and mace are 2H weapons. I asked about what is best for 1H melee.

With my power set I have 4941 base damage, 75.3 PMI, 3.1 evade, 27,5 block, 52.2 parry, 17.6 resist
With my plate set I have 3195 base damage, 79.6 PMI, 0 evade, 40.6 block, 44.6 parry, 17.6 resist
With my shade set I have 3525 base damage, 67.1 PMI, 47.2 evade, 25.9 block, 50.5 parry, 58.4 resist

So again I ask. Which armor is better for 1H melee?

Power for more damage? Plate for more PMI? Or Shade for evade?

i would go with the power setup.
1h is the stylewith the best defensive capabilities, so going plate would be overkill (nice shielding plates btw) and if you go for damage power is just much better than shade in the damage department.

with my full power set, max heavy/2hand abilities and prof, attack is a tick over 5k.
DW prof is just under 200, with shade and no abilities in DW/Light, attack is a crippled 3200 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif).
My deprecating is 224, maxed weaken gets like 29 turns, silence (no ability pts) gets like 13 turns?

I have maxed pack rat. I tend to use heal potions in short battles (cuz heavy interference costs and all). l/g/h health, l/g/h mana, l/l/l spirit and the rest h mana. If you know you won't need that many mana potions, throw in some health potions. Doubling with healing potion and regen saves you from those infuriating pauses in regaining health too. I don't want to stop and cast cure while i'm holding down a key (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

hm.. ok my 2h damage is lower but close enough i guess/hope. now that all the mayhem has settled down guess its time to bite the bullet and get the pack rat/scroll/inf trainings... there goes my weapon budget...

I kinda want my credits back. I finished pack rat just because. I haven't even come close to using up that many potions. You'll be fine with the slots you got. Focus if things are in bind. Carry more spirit potions now, as mobs use their specials quite a bit now.

Since I never get a single good shit I want to buy some equipment, heavy armor and a 2h weapon.
Which stats are the most important? I'm clueless about it, don't know what it's better.

In order-
armor: PMI, end, str, then your pref of dex/agi (if you can get 3). Obviously it'd be nice if you have all 4 pabs. If you're using power, then ADB is a factor as well.
weapon: probably fact if it's ethereal-elemental-etc, damage, str, dex, agi

use the equip base stats scripts in scripts thread to compare to logged ranges in http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges to know if the stats are decent or not.

Which shield should I use for 1H with power set?

Legendary Mithril Buckler of the Nimble
Legendary Mithril Kite Shield of the Barrier
Legendary Mithril Kite Shield of Protection

Thank you!
By the way, I installed the script but it didn't do anything, do I have to use custom fonts or something? It still shows the same stats as ever.

I'm no expert in 1H combat, but isn't the whole point of using a shield is to block attacks? So I'm guessing Legendary Mithril Kite Shield of the Barrier due to its higher block chance.

@Trombe1: It has hotkeys.

@Mantra: I wasn't referring to 2h/1h, I was referring to burden...

yes use custom fonts.

@etothex
@Lement
It's working now, thanks to both.

I didn't understand well about the primary attribute bonuses, for example:
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=1b3159ad03
how much str would that be? Seems like the range is between 2.7 and 9.26, so I don't get it.
Also the attack crit chance says "+Nan%", what?

Go for the kite shield of the barrier. Also, I checked my shields, and even my best tower shield of the barrier doesn't have such a high block chance. It's very nice.

Second choice is the buckler of the nimble, if you think you need lower B/I and won't have to block many magical attacks (but I don't really recommend it, though it would definitely be handy at a lower level).

I would go for the Barrier one. I do not think you really need more parry. A few % of PMI is useless as well.
btw, does your power set a full protection set? I expect a much higher attack power at your level.

with that kind of PMI is almost surely a protection set.
i also thing the kite of the barrier is the best shield.
bucklers are a choice only if you are using light armor, and frankly the mithril prefix is wasted on a shield with burden/interference already so low. if it was agile we could have a discussion, maybe.
anyway with heavy i don't think it's worth it going for buckler only because o burden.
your armor will eat up almost all of your evade anyway and since you are using a power set a shard or two will be more than enough to keep your burden under 75, probably even with a tower shield.

Quick question, what's the magic number to get Divine/Forbidden and Deprecating Proficiencies to increase?

I've been spamming them almost every round with little, if any change since the 0.76 patch, then level 316 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Current proficiencies:

Divine: 296.81 <- 0.01 increase since patch update

Forbidden: 290.48 <- 0.02 increase since patch update

Deprecating: 315.52 <- no change since patch update

Any advice would be greatly appreciated (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's weird. I have access to the Corruption spell, and I'm a melee with 0 forbidden proficiency.

Try putting on some Gossamer cloth of the Demon-Fiend maybe?

Probably locked by level, as hentai_fusion suggests.
