Your IW strategy?
I'm still trapped at IW since yesterday (it is really boring; I ate, I slept, and I fapped on it). At hard difficulty, all is enjoyable but still require quite amount of pots. I already consumed 4 pots in 100 rounds I played. Is it too much? How to lower this mana consumption?

Qs 1 - 3 have been thoroughly addressed.

Q4. At your level, IW is usually pretty tough no matter what you do. I would try out my best 1H combo...it can be slow but indestructible, and requiring about 1% attention span...and few pots...a good mix for IW runs for lowbies.

If you don't know anything about 1H, or how to do it, then find out.

@eramosat
Oh, no, I am very well versed in 1H. Afterall, you're the one who give a mag buckler to me. (Which unfortunately, haven't seen much use for its low block. Maybe after my stat high enough).

Thank you very much for the answers, erwtsnert & e-Stark.

Question,
Anybody use axe for higher difficulties?
with current patch, clubs gain quite popularity while rapier still everyone's darling. what about axe?

In general, damage wise, Axe > Club. Club gives an extra element of safety w/ stun, but if your evade (assuming DW light) is enough to handle it, you won't need stun, especially for a small # of mobs battle like FSM. For marathons, you'd assume club would give you an easier time w/ the continuous schoolgirls (stun = less specials = less SP lost).

Since IW starts off weak, and then gets harder, you can avoid casting buffs you don't need at the beginning. You might be able to go the first 50-70 rounds w/ just protect, regen, heartseeker for instance. Use your gems ASAP, so that you're not blocking out potential gem drops. Avoid straight casting heartseeker if you can. Wait for a channeling proc/ or gem.

Do monsters keep getting stronger or do they stop when they reach 100% strength?

In 0.76 I was told that katana (excepting some extremely good examples) is inferior to scythe. What is your opinion on new longsword vs new katana?

You should never use Katana on its own anyway. Katana is purely in the game for niten. Longsword vs Katana will be longsword's win when 2H. They're not really comparable when you do different styles with them though.

agree (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

katana and wakizashi useless if used it separately (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

@EcchiKitty just do what erwtsnert said. his word is wisdom (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

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 about your style, change it!!!!!!!!!!! i notice your prof for DW only 6 and your 2H is zero.
if you use niten style, you dont get prof for that. use it separately.(increase prof both 2h and dw) after your prof is high enough you can use niten.

Players using the Niten Ichiryu fighting style do not gain proficiency in either Two-Handed or Dual Wielding proficiency even though both are used to determine equipment stats and fighting style procs.

use this for your reff (just change ability i put on light armor to your heavy if you wish)

The minimum proficiency needed to access the spell and the maximum needed to get the highest bonuses.

Gc auction have leg power gauntlets of protection ( my only missing piece ) but already bid 1,4M by black (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

those gauntlets only slightly better in PMI ( very little ) and STR compare with my old 4 PAB mag power (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

is it worthy to make a bid war higher than that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

i'm hesitate in make decision to do bid war or just make bigger offer to somebody that have better leg power gauntlets (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Um;

If you are capable of earning more credits than you know what to do with it, then go for it; otherwise, if the improvements are very minimal, I'd probably pass. Over the months I've passed up a lot of Legendary Phase of Freyr pieces that would have increased my wind score by small amounts like +10 or +30, just because the INT or WIS happened to be a few points higher. In my view, something like that is just not worth the investment.

On the other hand, if you're having a hard time finding sellers with Legendary Power Gauntlets of Protection, and you're simply dying to have "Legendary..." in every slot on your equipment screen, then maybe spending a lot of credits just for the satisfaction of that will be worth it. You might also be able to soften the blow to your wallet by auctioning off your current magnificent gauntlets, but the return is not guaranteed to be high.

It's up to you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

what is the best weapon for niten style ?

ethereal katana of slaughter and ethereal waki of swiftness , nimble , balance or slaughter (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ethereal Katana of Balance then Slaughter as you grow in lvl (or directly slaughter).
Wakizashi of Nimble then Slaughter (Ethereal or not, this time, Waki ain't that big on it).

what is the best weapon for niten style ?

Pretty much what the 2 above me said. If you're willing to use a featherweight, look into getting a hallowed waki for the cure bonus. The Interference and Burden are low enough to completely nullify with a shard. Balance is the 'vanilla' choice, maximizing the amount of times your off-hand strike will proc. I don't exactly know how off-hand and main-hand base damage affect each other, but if the off-hand base attack damage somehow has an effect on main-hand and domino strike aswell, slaughter is the best option.

Nimble is okay if you're having a lot of trouble staying alive, though that 7% extra parry at max is not going to make a huge difference, especially considering only melee attacks can be parried.

Actually, Balance is good if you wish to start soon (which I did, heh). High accuracy, high crit and overall goes well with playing Niten for the procs and such.

And well, yeah, there's an adding bonus through the offhand to the Attack Base Damage of your character. So, more damages.

Nimbles' still cool, since there's not a lot of magic attack. But at high lvl anyway it start to be less usefull and that's when you can turn to pick a Slaughter Waki.

Also you should mainly look for armors giving you ADB bonus, since the debug of Niten in the 0.76, the scalling of damage as been pushed down :/.
