[X] My Assistant

I need a reccommendation on what to buy for body parts either heavy or light, i need something that really increase the strength stats , any idea ?

i'll tell everyting i use. all i know about DW, 2H light and my adcivment so figure it out yourself because i really bad at explaining (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and decide yourself if you want to copy me or play your own style. i first play HV on may or June(i'm forgot) and now i can become lvl 263. I become lone wolf until 202 without no one help until agust.
don't blame me because you got hard time. My style is mana eater but can do high damage with imperil.so i want to attach divine magic on my hand so i can use ether thief.with that mana will not a problem anymore.
but shame i quit already before i can tell you what good point of battle mage.
i got some stuff to do in my life. very important and I don't know if i'll be back or not.
I'm hope i'm not back (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

This is weapon i use.
DW:
main hand 1: exquisite ethereal axe of illithid i'll research what i can do with this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
main hand 2: exquisite ethereal club of slaughter i use this for marathon IWTB
main hand 3:superior ethereal axe of slaughter for marathon normal
off hand: exquisite ethereal rapier of balance
off hand(optional): exquisite rapier of slaughter still research for this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) i still don't know what i can do with this
2H:
excuisite ethereal mace of illithid(i use this for highest difficulty)
excuisite ethereal longsword of slaughter(i use this for lowest difficulty)
superior estoc of illithid(i'm not use estoc now because i'll got a hard time to clear IWTB arena using estoc, i use it after i easily clear IWTB arena)
for nitten(i not use it now but not hurt to collect from now on)
superior katana of balance
magnificent artic wakizashi of slaughter
Superior Ethereal Wakizashi of the Nimble
My Armor
excuisite shade helmet of the shadowdancer
excuisite shade breastplate of the shadowdancer
excuisite shade gaunlets of the shadowdancer
excuisite legging of the fleet
magnificent cobalt shade boots of the fleet

What i need is better equipment i can use:
my plan is to colect better ethereal slaughter weapon and better shadowdancer with armor prefixes

for DW* is:main hand(better club or axe) and off hand (better rapier)
for 2H* is: better mace and estoc
for armor* is: better light armor.[/color]

and the final plan to my equip is:
DW: legendary ethereal club or axe of slaughter
legendary ethereal rapier of balance(or nimble)

2H:legendary ethereal mace of slaughter(optional)
legendary ethereal estoc of slaughter(primary)

my armor:
all legendary shadowdancer with armor prefixes(Agile will be better)

i also planing to gather legendary ethereal katana of slaughter and legendary ethereal wakizashi of slaughter(or balance)
i'll use this if my prof is high enough

Note:
* i collect all equipment as long as it's better so i dont mind use longsword,shordsword,scythe or other.

I plan to increase dark and divine spell.
it's not like i want to become dark/holy mage.
i planing to find a way to combine melee and mage after that i want to compare which is better and can quickly kill enemy betwent melee,mage and battlemage

now i also collect all info and do lot of trial and error for what style i use it now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Do remember: Never go with parts of different equipment types. If your body armor is light, your whole set should be light. Or the other way around, if everything else is light, so should your body armor. Just search through the shops for a piece with high STR bonus.

In general Power of Slaughter heavy has the best damage bonus, but is expensive. I think heavy has the highest STR bonus, leather is crappy in most cases. Light only really gets good when it's legendary or shade.

but light can cast lot magic and when i look at wiki for first time. I decide to use light because i want combine melee and mage. and i found a way to become battle mage.

but that path will really hard and to long. also more expensive.
battle mage will be more safety to hunt compare to mage and quicker to finish enemy compare to melee

What does proc mean?
And what is count as physical damage? Fire shield change fire damage to physical?
Monsters take damage every time they hit you?

yes monster will take effect searing skin if you use fire protection. and with that debuff it hp will drop a little every turn

Can proc upon parrying or blocking an attack.
Do a minimum of 5 damage to monsters regardless of damage taken.
Count as physical damage.
Can proc status effects (~20%? chance).

What does proc mean?
And what is count as physical damage? Fire shield change fire damage to physical?
Monsters take damage every time they hit you?

there are two components to damage calculation/reduction, "general" mitigation and "specific" mitigation.

general mitigation is basically physical mitigation or magical mitigation.
generally speaking, melee attacks is physical and magic attacks are magical.

specific mitigation is Slashing, Piercing, Crushing, Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, and Dark.
e.g. axe is slashing and banish is holy.

Damage Taken = Original_Damage_Roll * (1 - Physical or Magical Mitigation) * (1 - Specific Mitigation)

so in your case it will be:

Damage Taken = Original_Damage_Roll * (1 - Physical Mitigation) * (1 - fire Mitigation)

damn make mistake and my use longsword on RE IWTB and it's really hard without stun (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

1. Should IW these (either myself or pay someone to do it for me, more than likely the latter) or wait till i find legendary/ethereal versions?

Exq Hollowed Dagger of the Battlecaster

2. Should i do anything to my stats/proficiencies or are they fine for where they are?
i guess my goal is to be able to IW stuff on my own on a high difficulty without embarrassing myself, and eventually beating DwD on BT

Keeping them all at level isn't too bad a starting point. Look carefully in battle and note down what you need, if you can survive easily, put into STR. If you seem to die often, AGI and END. DEX for the best of both worlds. WIS should be a bit less than level because it does have the least impact of the 5. INT should be far below level, it does nothing except increase magic damage and other magical stuff, but it doesn't help cure. It does add some spirit points, which is why you still want some INT.

about STR, DEX, AGI, END it's wise to balance it. i don't say you make everything same. like erwtsnert say, increase it as you wish but keep it balance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

and i already post my stat so look at my stat for you reff

Don't use longswords, they're crap. Use scythe if you really want bleed, or better yet, Niten if you plan on actually IWBTH'ing with a bleed setup.

The club is decent, if you have some time left IW is an option. I wouldn't do it for the dagger because it's a Battlecaster one and has crappy stats. If you're a dual wielder you should get weapons with 4 PABs for guaranteed 4 Butcher/5 Swift Strike or 5 Butcher/4 Swift Strike.

I'd take a few points off AGI and into END. AGI used to be very good, but END is the better choice right now. Keep everything balanced cost-wise. Don't go too far ahead in one and leave the other ones behind. Exception is INT ofcourse.

I already know but all i got only ethereal longsword for normal and i make mistake on my equipment set us should use number 2 instead i use my previously set on number 3(i set mace in this set before change to longsword). and i got really hard time if i not use mace on IWTB T&T so i never look for scythe
all i want is estoc so i can get penetrate armor.

Which protection is the best flame, frost, shock or storm?

if you have melee elemental strike or is an elemental mage then just get the one that chains with your element, else it doesn't really matter cos each one has its pros and cons. it is more of a personal preference.

thanks, i'll keep that in mind. i think i might be able to find a club with 4 pabs somewhere.
and yeah, i know the dagger isn't that great. it's only there for it's MC, accuracy, and parry. maybe i'd be better off with an Illithid weapon on the offhand? anyway, i'll keep my eye out for something better and/or pray for an awesome drop

useful info. need to seriously level up my training stuff

If you really want a semi-caster setup Illithid is OK. Unless the MC is your main point of using it, I'd switch over to either balance or nimble. Balance for damage, nimble for a defensive build.

You shouldn't IW anything unless you plan to keep it long term, if you do item world on your weapons and get the best case: 5 butcher, you will only get around 100 damage, which is only around 4% more damage. Although it may be worth it to do the first few levels, the later levels are not worth it (yet)**. As long as you have spare arenas, it is much more worth it to do them.

**do note that the item world mechanics just changed so it may be more or less worth it.

For stats, as long as you keep your core stats within 20 of each other, you will be at least 95% efficient, I would recommend bringing end/wisdom to the same as your other stats. For Proficiency, if you play on normal a lot, then a 2 hand weapon will save you much time.

I guess one handed are the best at clearing highest difficulty arena, so my question here,

If I were to clear PFUOR or IWBH level, what tactics should I use with one handed?

Should I kill all except 1 and keep use focus?
What types are best to leave to the last? Should I use weaken before I do focus?

I have pretty high one handed prof, but I have no idea of how to do in high difficulty.

How works going on PFUDOR ?

I cleared all arenas up to Trio and The Tree on Hard (attept on Nightmare soon).
On PFUDOR - First 3 arenas - 3rd one took me few minutes + 2 health pots - 4th one - not tried yet. Maybe when I put my axe at level 4 (3 atm). Also, improved heartseeker in one level wheeeee

Just as you always do really, keep your buffs up, cure when low on HP. Try to always spirit stance, leave the schoolgirls and use up some focus, don't have to do this if you have adequate amounts of Mana pots. Use weaken if you want, but spirit shield should do the trick most of the time. Don't focus too much or you won't be able to spirit stance the next round. 1H is not the fastest, but it's very safe.

Some tips to 1H?

Use Heavy Armor, don't use Shadow Veil, use a Ethereal Rapier...

Don't use Focus... Spirit Stance is much more important (sometimes you activate it in the first round and it lasts until the end of arena (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )... carry some Heroic Mana Potions instead (and Heroic Spirit pots as well)...


I don't use any special tactics... simple attack attack attack... killing from top to bottom and then from bottom to top... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I don't use any debuffs too... really, don't need... it's only waste of mana... but keep all my buffs up all the time (SS, SoL, Haste, Protection, Regen and Heartseeker...)


Here my clears... all piece of cake with 1H... (serious, can do TT&T half asleep (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )...




(will try the others high level arenas in the new PFURDPXWSZ#@% difficulty when have my stamina back (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )...

@e-Stark,
Hey, thanks, I am now aware of new patch. Shit! Melee wasn't buffed enough!

What weapons are the best for DW?

Is Axe//Waki good?
