Just hit lvl 50, about ring of blood...

Is there some form of preparation that should be done before even attempting to do any of the bosses? Tried manbearpig just to see how hard they hit, was doing fine, got it to about half hp and then got one shot by Global Warming crit for something like 1.1k damage (me having little under 800 hp).

Maxed out HP tanks with equal stat spread, just felt a bit owned by getting one shot from full to 0. Dont feel like wasting tokens just to get lucky and hope for no crits on spells.

Bring a scroll of life/scroll of the gods or 2. Assuming you can handle the regular attacks, that should be enough to beat the bosses.

the ring of blood bosses that you encountered in item world and grindfest are usually considerably weaker than their ring of blood counterpart.

if you still want to give it a try then my advice for you is to go for the PA+poison combo if you are melee or the elemental weakness approach if you are maging.

either way remember to keep it poisoned at all times as...

Poison causes:

* Periodic damage to the affected enemy over a set duration.
o Since damage occurs at the end of an enemy's turn, an enemy can hit you on the turn it dies to Poison's damage.
* A 50% decrease in the MP and SP regeneration rate of the affected enemy.
* A reduced chance of missing the affected enemy with physical attacks.

Get scroll of life or gods to survive his attack.

I used to use a rapier to dual wield to cause PA kill bosses faster and then casted poison on him.

edit: posted a bit too late

i used a high flee gear and i was lucky enough to have never gotten hit by Sp attacks of the first 4 RoB bosses.

I had no trouble at all damaging them, was using Axe/Rapier and poison on PA proc + haste/shadow veil/weaken. Melee attacks, no trouble either. Dont think I even had used a single mana pot before I just got one shot.

Guess Ill try with a few scrolls of life when some actually appear in the shop.

Still makes no sense. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Coalesced Mana chance = 10 + (0.04 * WIS + 0.02 * INT) * (1 + Staff / 200)
I want 30, staff=0, and if INT=WIS=x
30 = 10 + (0.06x)
x= 20/0.06
x= 333.333

For some reason I divided this number by 2 who knows why.

Any areas I need to improve upon?

Here is my gear:

My weapon choices at the moment are a good bleed proc and high ADM axe with a good AP proc and high parry rapier in the offhand. As for gear choice, I aim for high evade silk gear. I am considering redoing my abilities to drop the points in exp gain and move them to OC. The next spell I am aiming for is weaken. My aura points are in orange and yellow with yellow being my active aura. My attribute distribution at the moment is dex+1 agi+2 or 3. Thanks for any advice.

Well i don't see anything wrong with all things that you have posted. Except that you don't need the int (yet incase you want to mage later).

i simply continue to lose in blazing field and fresh meat arena
monsters score lots of hits and critics even while shielded, resist a lot to poison and weaken (even 3-4 casts for a successful spell, and not because of interference)
2 greater healing potions and 3 greater mana are not enough
i made it sometimes, but in 40% of the tries

what's wrong with my build? i even changed equip but is not enough...

[www.pctunerup.com] stats
[www.pctunerup.com] abilities
[www.pctunerup.com] equip
[www.pctunerup.com] auras

i'm in middle of gaining some overcharge, i've planned to power up poison and haste

for the next tier, shadow veil is useful? barrier is useful?

barrier : no
shadow veil: maybe, if you have high flee.

i wouldn't bother using weaken on normal mobs, you will take less damage if you take them out instead.

Try playing 1H with a good shield, you'll get hit far less. I have trouble with higher level arenas too if I dual wield. While you do more dmg, you also take it. Shadow veil is a very useful spell imo. It currently gives me an extra 15.6% extra evade. Never bothered with barrier myself.

Shadow veil is quite expensive and it only works on physical attacks and i would rather use haste and shield .

Foe me dual wield would give me better results in the arena's (except roB, played it safe with a high block shield) . Instead of blocking and countering, you could have taken out a monster with an off hand attack. Eventhoughparry is not as god as block, but it can still save you.

instead of using light armour, i used a low burden gear with 27,4 flee to clear the arena's , shield and haste off sets the loss of defence a little.



EDIT: get better and lighter gear, even my silk flee gear gives me slightly more physical defence than your current set.

take in account that you have like the double of my levels so of course even silk can own my light setup, but i will try a full cloth (hoping to find decent pieces (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) )

for what i've understanded
-evade silk for dualwield
or
OH with shield with my current armor setup

-better continue with the same abilities adding haste

but why the monsters in arena resist so much to my deprecating spell? too low proficiency?

what about my attributes? are they ok?

Oh, I was told I would need int eventually. What is a good rate of int I should have then? I plan to stick with meleeing for the foreseeable future, and it looks like poison is the only damaging spell I cast. Should my int be at roughly half my other stats?

What are more life saving and useful Mana or Health Potions

i found more useful having more mana potions than healing ones...

my [www.pctunerup.com] abilities are ok?

should i increase INT to increase the chance of weakening monsters on first try? or is better invest in other stats

A HP Pot you can heal yourself once.
With a MP pot you can cast many cures.

[x] MP pots

should i increase INT to increase the chance of weakening monsters on first try? or is better invest in other stats

I thought WIS>INT for melee since WIS gives more Mana then INT
Magic Points = (10 + LEVEL + INT * 0.25 + WIS * 0.75) * MP Tank Modifier
Magic Regen = 1 + WIS / 25 per minute

Just my thought

i was thinking that investing on INT could give me more chance to not miss monsters

wisdom is useful for melee but if monsters resist to your spells too much can be dangerous and you simply waste mana

Well, killed all the bosses now. Aside from Manbearpig, more like free 10000c than a challenge really. And for MBP, just bought a few crude fire-eater pieces and it was cake after that as well.

How often does the bazaar restock by the way? I practically never see any of the good scrolls for sale there, maybe just being constantly bought out -.-

The Bazaar doesn't restock the rare scrolls (As far as I know).
Anything scrolls that show up there are sold by players.
