QUOTE(clarkiest @ Sep 29 2013, 08:51)  -- I actually got problem with 2H, I can't blast through arena at Nightmare. But I guess I'll ask some advice after I figure out what caused the problem myself.
lack of PMI and damage , i think (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) @Spoison well heavy and shade don't have that much difference if you just playing arena ( shade alot better in DwD / marathons due to very high evade and atk speed while in lower arenas power wins in killing speed / slaughter rules ) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) shade have low interference too , and that make a huge difference with power since i need alot of focus spam in DwD (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) the difference will become high in GF at high difficulty ( power slaughter will only go half as far shade of fleet / SD can reach ) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) well , I can reach 500 rounds IWBTHfest with my power of protection (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) while slaughter set is very hard to reach 300 rounds (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) if you ask what make heavy worst , it begins when T remove burden reducing prof and godslayers burden reducing bonus (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) i forgot at what patch (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) last , power now very depending on feather for IW , DwD and GF (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by nobody_xxx: Sep 29 2013, 08:04

Isn't it only in PFUDOR? Mobs stat doesn't have fundamental change, and character defense only have resist mechanic changed. I guess it tell us light is superior when the mobs aggressiveness is to be cranked up a bit.

@clarkiest somebody tell me he become mightier and can hunt easier when he reach higher lvl. and now i also tell you that. I also fell unable to beat arena above nightmare when 222 but i can beat IWTB T&T when 243. for now, why not you just lvling your lvl first. after you reach 250, i'm sure you can beat PFUDOR T&T. if not, at least you can in IWTB. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) and personally i think your lvl just dont high enough now. This post has been edited by zanky: Sep 29 2013, 10:13

QUOTE(zanky @ Sep 28 2013, 21:52)  @solarhawk i got problem in term of damage. when go to PFUDOR, i'm not strong enough to take damage from monster. At least it happen now and because my equip also not really good. hmmm for me fire or ice spike will more help than using wind or storm. well, different ppl got different problem. btw ppl, just don't use fire like i talk about But use what you most needed. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That's exactly why I said the same thing everyone else says. Pick one you like, but it doesn't mean that those strengths or advantages it gives you play a significant role. I was just explaining which situation would gain the most benefit from each spike element. QUOTE(SPoison @ Sep 28 2013, 22:19)  I am assuming that everyone agrees that now light is better than heavy. I have a few questions. I try to play PFUDOR whenever I can and know that heavy takes a beating compared to light but my question is this: Is light overall better than heavy or is it just better to its counterparts? Meaning Leather is better than Plate and Shade is better than Power?
Also, what is the main things that make heavy worse for this patch?
I wouldn't say that light is better than heavy. It's still situational and still to each person's preference. 0.77 did change things that sway things a bit more towards light rather than heavy, but if you were to use 1h, heavy is still the prime choice. The reason (I believe) is due to how much more often monsters use their specials in PFUDOR. With light armor your primary defense is evasion and parry, which seems to scale slightly better against the attacks when compared to heavy's PMI approach. It's just how things scale up. For the record, using light and DW, I got creamed a couple times on PFUDOR before I got used to what to expect and adjusted my playstyle a little. Heavy is still feasible though, like nobody_xxx said. Oh, and probably the interference portion meaning you burn through mana faster on PFUDOR for heavy. Just another thing to compensate for.

@Solarhawk, Your new avatar is simply too dazzling. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) What are you playing these days with your newly minted club? Don't tell me you are still limiting yourself to RE and low level IWBTH/PFUDOR? Please tell/show us your progress in the Arena.

What I posted there is my fun 2H set: for some blasting. I have pfudor-only DW set, turtle 2H set, 1H set, and a mjolnir set (but doesn't have the AP).

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) You know what, I'm actually pretty happy with the new potency bonus. But leaving shield without barrier suffix (while I have yet got a decent one) is still feel sour. I will have no problem if I already have a good shield.

It also has an added bonus of making me look more sophisticated than I actually am, so yeah...

Value? Did you mean price? Value is in the eye of beholder. Price, in the other hand, not one of us know. Just sell your items/equipments at arbitrary price point, if it sell then it's good. If it doesn't, it might be too expensive. -- @buktoreIf we're talking about the meh, there are quite a number of them. But if we talk about the nice, fatality IS nice. Spellweaver is also nice.

I'm also sorry about that, my education disciplined me on some term usage. If I'm not educated in economic science, I will also equalize price and value, as I am just like you, not a native English speaker. Script pointed by zanky is a neat tool. But I did a study on price (bottled water), that 5% difference can make huge difference in perception, leading to un-ignorable difference in total sales. Here, you'll find that 1000c for voidseeker shard is still expensive now, but at 900c, it suddenly feel cheap. 100c is really nothing, right? Item bots are bidding at 800, I did little experiment few hours ago and I can crank up the other's bidding price to 900. (I bid it at 750c now though, since I don't really need it). In short, put price on your equipment as you like it.
