QUOTE(indiexanna @ Jun 19 2013, 14:57)  Which one is the better weapon in terms of damage? Exquisite Ethereal Longsword of SlaughterExquisite Mace of SlaughterI know that the Ethereal Longsword is at advantage because it has better accuracy, no burden/interference and deals void damage. But does the total damage it delivers exceeds the total damage of the mace? And I'm kinda already comfortable with the stun proc the mace give, it gives me window to regenerate mana and health. Depending on your current burden, if you are about 90 (with the longsword), it is much higher in damage, when you crit, you always proc effects so that makes bleeding even better. But the major issue is the difficulty you play, if you get max stacks of bleeding you should deal least double the damage, however on normal, the mace should be more effective as things die fast enough.

Well, I have 0 burden if I use the longsword (I use full shade). Does having an absolute zero burden grants special effect?

at level 320, the burden on that mace scales to 16.10.
not sure how much burden it would give you right now but i am guessing the effects of that mace's burden on your evade could be insignificant.

Does burden even scale? I'm seeing it as 16.10 too

Some stats, like Burden, Intereference, Mana conversation, proc rate, the number of PABs an equip and has bleed damage % don't scale.

I had a question regarding Arena's. Is it smarter for me to do the shorter arena's on battletoads/IWBTH or do the longer arena's on a lesser difficulty? I can do up to Eye Of Death on Hell setting but I get roflstomped if I try it harder than that. Thank for any input you can provide.

if you don't have the time to clear all the arenas at IWBTH daily it's much better to do them at a lower difficulty than just doing some of them. playing at nintendo will take less than half the time but will net you way more than half the rewards. do the high level arenas first since you get a better exp bonus and also better rewards on the final round.

I gained silence when I got to 40prof in Deprecating. Got imperil after but I didn't notice the exact #in prof sorry.

Thank you Malenk, I was lead to believe I should keep my Stamina @or above 80 to get to 100%exp bonus. Considering I lose between 3-5 Stam for doing the longer arena's (even when I get all the ponies right)I find I can't even finish half the arena's I have open while maintaining 80Stam. Do you think I should not worry about my Stam and just arena?

Well the two ways to progress is this game are money and levels. Most people will have a limited amount of time to play so you have to choose between what you want to do. If you want credits, playing all arenas on normal is best, if you want exp you do the highest level arena on the highest difficulty. For me what works is doing trio and the tree* on the hardest possible (using the >80 stamina bonus), then completing as many arenas on normal as I have time to do. *I don't do the schoolgirl arenas on harder difficulties because it takes too much time, but of course you will get loads more exp.

QUOTE(baka9ball @ Jun 20 2013, 12:20)  The negation, the SD doesn't have a single PAB so it's just pure crap. The tiny crit chance it provide is pretty much shittier than the dex/agi/str/end (which also gives crit chance if not more)

go with the negation piece.
dex also provides critical chance and the dex from the negation should provide more critical chance than the critical chance from the SD.
