If it did more people would actually buy it.

What is the best Spike Shield to have? (how to choose the best one?) ...or it's just a personal choice?

depend on what you plan to do!?

arena, gf, iw, to support your weapon strike, for what armor type,....... ?

What is the best Spike Shield to have? (how to choose the best one?) ...or it's just a personal choice?

if melee then choose the one that combo with your weapon's elemental strike.

if fire/ice/elec/wind mage then choose the one that combo with your primary elemental spell.

if holy/dark mage then it is just a personal choice.

Well... for general use... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Actually, I'm a Melee Light Warrior...

I was using Fire (with no reason)... - DW with both ethereal weapons without elemental strike -

Now I'm training both DW (for RoB and IWBTH Hourly Encounters) and 2H (mostly for arenas)... and am using Storm, cause my best 2H weapon for now is a Shocking Estoc... but wondering if there was a better manner to choose...

Well, thank you guys for the answers...

Are credits a random drop now?

Yes, read the wiki / patch notes.

Storm Spike Shield and Frost Spike Shield are the best, in my opinion. Turbulent Air increases enemy miss chance, while Freezing Limbs causes slower enemy movement. Shock Spike Shield might also be good, because Deep Burns lowers evade and resist chances. Well, that's all on paper at least. Just pick what you think will benefit you the most. Chances are that you won't notice anything. If you're interested in explode damage, then choose an element that complements the elemental strike of one of your weapons, but you probably won't be impressed by the damage.

I haven't been on in a while, didn't see it in the notes so I must have missed it. I'll look again later then.

Need Recommendations, and a couple of questions

But before that, here's my current stats and equips
[sadpanda.us] http://sadpanda.us/images/1748943-S7JMB0D.jpg

1. What's the ideal attack speed bonus at my current level?

2. About equipments, I know it's adviced that you aim for evasion for light armors so take the shadowdancer / fleet suffixes. But I'd like to keep my resist and mana consumption balanced (I cast supportive spells often) so I'd like to hear what you guys think about using negation and arcanist type armors as a part of my shade armors.

Is it okay if I keep it like this or should I just go full shadowdancer/fleet?

3. What to prepare to fight Flying Spaghetti Monster in RoB? (got enough token, but not enough level)

4. Is the armor HP/MP ability bonus worth spending the AP? I tried disabling them all (took 4 levels of it) and it only reduces around 0.03-0.04 x total HP/MP

5. Is the shadow veil ability bonys worth spending the AP? How significant does Shadow Veil increases your evasion while it's active?

6. Are my proficiencies (aside of deprecating) falling behind? Or it's normal to have em that low?

I think that's all for now...

1. wait till t_starrk coz he using 2H light lately in this new patch (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
i'm heavy DW and 2H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

2. go for fleet or SD (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
that why there less player bid for your leg arcanist auction in hentaiW auction (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)


3. get ethereal weapon or at least hollowforged coz FSM have extremely high resistance piercing , crushing and slashing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
you need rending blow too coz FSM have high PMI and you using mace (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
prepare your weaken or silence + SS (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
just fight him at normal if you aiming for Credits (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

4. yes

5. even heavy with 0% evade , SV is usefull so imagine it yourself for light with full fleet (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

6. it will match up your lvl when you hit 250 above and playing at high difficulty (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Thanks for answering
1. Alright, I'll wait :3

2. I'm glad I got the item tbh. Perhaps it's because I haven't seen any other legendary shade stuffs and compared them to my current items. I see it has overall better stats compared to even my current breastplate that's why I tried to get the legendary helmet of arcanist TWICE. Participated in an auction for the same item but different stats. Some asshole bought the helmet and then resell it at higher price. PMed that guy (because I know the original deal was waaay below that) and he offered 700k, I didn't have the money back then. But once I hit 700k, I PMed that guy and he said NO. Turns out he didn't sell the item anymore.

3. Currently grinding my deprecating prof. Does fighting it at higher difficulty ensure better loot?

4. I guess 0.03 worth much on later game then?

5. Alright

6. Ok, thanks :3

2. well if that leg agile shade fleet or SD auction , than you will see player who serching for leg SD/fleet like homicid , stony or http join the bid & the price will go beyond 10M (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
like finiteA leg agile SD auction , sell for 1600 hath ( nearly 13M ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
that just describe how big the difference between arcanist/negation with fleet/SD (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

3. yeah

4. yup

I think that's all for now...

Dammit, Nobody_xxx said my name now I feel obligated to answer, fuuuuuuck (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ....

1. At your level? Ummm... really I have no idea, lol. I have a good grasp of what full shade should at least be at my level though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) , I'd say over 20% for two-hand and over 30% for dual-wield at level 350 if you have leveled gears and high agility. For your level, just do the best you can, make sure you level your weapons(s) to get some swift strike, get gears with high agility rolls (I think if the agility is twice your level it adds 10%). That's probably the main difference at your level, agility. The agility from gears and artifacts isn't as high so you probably can't get the full 10%. Also the "light speed" in the ability tree probably factors in too, that is also tied to your light armor proficiency. DW goes higher than two-hand because you can max out swift strike on both weapons instead of just one. Agile prefix is nice, but almost impossible to find one of really high quality with perfect rolls. You can probably be less picky than me though so it might be easier.

2. Mana isn't an issue for high level light armor players (at least, it isn't for me), so the low interference and magic accuracy of arcanist isn't very useful. Negation is just arcanist without the magic accuracy and low interference (they have the same resist rolls, lol), so yeah, the only reason to ever use a negation piece is if the quality level is much higher than your current gear. Resist is nice, but I've never noticed a difference when I loss a few percentage points of it. You are better off just getting fleet and shadowdancer and sticking to them, you want to push your evade and crit as high as you can really, that's the optimum shade set, imo. Between shadowdancer and fleet, well, nothing beats a good shadowdancer piece but fleet is much more common and easier to find something with good rolls.

3. Ethereal weapon (or voidseeker), also use silence the whole time on him. Put a holy infusion on your weapon too. Cast all the regular buffs on yourself and attack. Dual-wield works better than two-hand for this. I'd say ethereal club of slaughter in the main-hand and ethereal rapier of balance/slaughter in the off-hand is your best bet for killing it fast (the stun on the club will give you some room for error when it comes to keeping silence up too). Put infusions on both weapons and run frenzied on him with 3x PA stacked (if your dual-wield prof is high enough).

4. It's tied in with your light armor proficiency I believe. Regardless, it's one of the first things to max out for a light armor user, you want to max out everything under light armor and your fighting style.

5. Yes, max out shadow veil. Very important for shade, lol. Anything that increases evade is good.

6. Don't worry about proficiencies at your level too much. Leveling will become slower and slower and eventually they will all catch up (I think mine all caught up around level 300 or so).

Well that proves that you can provide quite a satisfying answer though, thank you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And.. do you mind extra questions?

1. Do stats (STR,DEX,etc) have caps? (like if they're capped at 500, then the bonus ASPD will be doomed when you're 500 XD). And... the stat priority would be AGI>STR>DEX-END for light armorers then?

2. Tips for Trio and The Tree? I saw the wiki and it seems that they aren't as powerful as Real Life / Unicorn / Flying Spaghetti Monster so I assume that it's just like facing Konata, Yuki, Mikuru, and Ryoko at the same time.

3. Not really a question, but what Nobody_xxx said makes me want to see a good Legendary Shadowdancer / Fleet equips (weapons / armors). Can I see some links please? Just for eye candy :3

Thanks

2. Tips for Trio and The Tree? I saw the wiki and it seems that they aren't as powerful as Real Life / Unicorn / Flying Spaghetti Monster so I assume that it's just like facing Konata, Yuki, Mikuru, and Ryoko at the same time.

Simple. Always kill Yggdrasil (the tree) first. Otherwise, it'll keep healing the sisters with full HP and the fight will be endless. Make sure Haste, Protection, SV & Regen are on at all times. Spam Weaken & Silence as usual. Imperil is recommended so you could cut down their health much quicker and cast Heartseeker when you get the Channeling effect. After that, it's a walk in the park.

I've been keeping intelligence at 0.7 times my level, everything else at my level, and the other exp go into strength.
The weapon and armor abilities might not seem like much, but they scale as you gain prof, and add up in higher difficulty and longer (the former implies it's also the latter but still) battles. Shadow veil perks also come into play more then too, especially the type of battles that can trigger spark enough to need spirit pots.

1. Not that I know of. I know some of the effects of the stats have caps though. Like agility being only able to add 10% attack speed and the mitigation from attributes being capped at 80%.

Ummm... personally I value them like this for full shade: AGI=DEX>END>STR. I value agility and dexterity above all in my set, basically I'm a whore for evade and crit, lol (it works well though). Endurance is next as it adds to PMI/MMI and HP a bunch, strength is last but also very important. In fact, they are all close with shade, I would even probably say it's more like AGI=DEX=END=STR. You want to find pieces with all four melee PABs. Every piece in my set has at least those four PABs with an emphasis on ones with high agility and dexterity rolls.

2. First, silence Yggdrasil if you are using two-hand, otherwise it will heal the 3 witches from the domino strike damage. Go after Yggdrasil first of course. After that, no real strategy, just hack and slash until the rest are dead, lol. Make sure you keep your buffs up. I never have to use deprecating spells on them (they're weak as fuck).

3. Well, you can't see my set, I only have one legendary in the set anyway (and four magnificents). Still, I like to keep my main equips to myself. However, I don't mind sharing other people's links! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . Check it out, some good legendaries and bad legendaries in here, it's mostly the recent ones, I put my favorite 3 on top (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=feb1062d6a < my dream breastplate. I'll never forgive Ichy for getting it before me (T_T)

http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=c3b7b5f655 < the best pair of shade boots I've ever seen. They have the same base evade as legendary fleet max. Which is why I think SD is just fleet+crit as far as rolls go.
