i doubt 5% PMI will make much difference.

it worthy , try IWBTH IW leg or mag run / GF , that 5% make huge difference (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Is it? Good thing I have no intention to get rid of the Kevlars yet.

i think you're high enough level to go full shade.

that is some shitty evade on the pants. boots are usable but sad adb. replace boots when you find something worthwhile, make an effort to replace pants. (chest, legs are strongest pieces so don't gimp yourself there)

. . . unless you're prioritizing damage, in that case just go for SD and up your crit.

Then I'm off to farm some credits! Thanks for all the replies.

i agree with etothex , you lvl are high enough to go full shade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

just don't rid your kevlar (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

BTW, there's nothing wrong when my STR PA (449) is lower than DEX (489) right?

nah , STR now only increase a little damage base compared with last patch (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Remember the time when STR also contribute to HP? Yeah, good times.

And also PMI, no?
Btw, I'm still using full kevlar set. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) All shade is so bad and/or expensive... At least Kevlar gives me okay PABs.

How do the stats of the current good leather pieces compare to kevlar? I've never worn leather armor so I have idea what a good piece looks like.

Resplendent Regeneration and gold star regen
are they 1.5*1.5 or 50%+50%?
also should I get Resplendent Regeneration or Effluent Ether first as a warrior?

Is using Innate Arcana hath perk worth it?

Seems like everyone's using Hath and perks..

the mana costs of regen/protection/sv/haste is too much, considering i'm heavy.

the formula doesn't really give me a sense of how much I save mana from using the perks..

any tips?

You save 10% of the mana needed, plus the turns to cast. Regen can't be used with it, already asked. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It's more a convenience thing to me. I'm heavy melee too.

IA3 is when the savings become better than just spirit stance casting. (30% vs 25%)

IA allows you to be lazy, not having to recast stuff is not something you ever will willingly go back from. More useful in higher difficulties where buffs might run out every few rounds. Also in late IW rounds where you might have to spam cure to stay alive. If you're juggling 5-6 buffs +cure you won't have much time to attack.

Never worry about supportive proficiency again.

You're almost at the level where most monsters will have spirit attacks, and you sometimes die to random one-shots on normal or get blasted on the 1st turn. IA1 with spirit shield will at least save you from ever suffering that ignominy again.

can't use it for heartseeker either, just haste, shadow veil, protect, spirit shield, spark

@thth:It's not as good as it used to be for several reasons(adjusted durations so nothing is lolshort, you get less mana conversation than you used to at level 4&5, spark is useless), but still very useful.

Oh, and resplendent regeneration, definitely. One of the best perks for melee, it is vital in the quest to get mana neutral.

I dunno, Spirit Shield and Shadow Veil definitely FEEL short compared to the luxury of 100+ turn Regen, 150+ Protection, and 200+ AF/HS. Fortunately, we no longer have 30 turn Protection.

However, IA1 still has great use with SoL, since it puts it straight back up and doesn't cost you extra mana to do so.

Can I IW a staff that already have mana conservation (i.e. of focus) with economiser? I guess not (I tried it a 2-3 times without success)

Potency unlocks add stats that the equipment piece does not already possess (with the exception of damage stats and action speed bonus for weapons).

no , tenB will not allowing us to have that much mana conservation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah, thanks guys.

I was hopeful because Economizer is on the same table as Archmage, Butcher and Swift Strike, but I guess 45-50% mana conservation would be rather OP.

Forget about mana. The sole reason why anyone should get IA is this :

IA allows you to be lazy

Funny enough, when OC no longer gives passive dmg bonus, I bought IA2 solely to save the 10% OC on casting support spell while in stance so that I can attack more— kinda pointless now seeing that I spent 10 times more OC doing little to no damage on a group of high parry monster...

is it true for a stamina recovery time around 10-79 faster than stamina recovery around 80-99 or not? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Stamina is restored at a base rate of 20 per day (~0.0139 per minute). Stamina does NOT regenerate while in battle.
However, while you are in the Normal range of stamina, you lose stamina slower than if you are in the Great range of stamina.
