ok thanks a lot for the advice i will try it once i have the level needed

I think you can try TT&T on 250 lvl if you have enough Deprecating proficiency
to get duration of Silence longer and enough mana potion.
On keeping Silence, FSM and 3 dragons become just sandbags.

If you're not confident, you can try it with low difficulty for the first time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You don't necessarily need silence if you use Spirit Shield, it's definitely safer to use deprecating spells though.

Hi everybody i have a question i know it's too early for me to try it but, I want an advice : at what level could i try
TRIPLE TRIO AND THE TREE?

I'm using one handed (magnnificent)axe of slaughter ,with light armor.

If you can do every other arena then you can do trio as well.

Should I get IA IV or Resplendent Regeneration? I'm thinking of IA 4, because I'm going insane over the fact that I've got to cast my own protection over and over.

I want to ask :

How much high attack speed + additional option in a melee weapon can get ?

Can it reach 25% + aspd bonus on swiftness weapon ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Does anyone have a weapon with at least >25% + aspd bonus ?

Looks like you have already answered your own question. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . So, go with your heart to decide

been wanting to ask about this for a while. I've been trying to go for a parry/block build since day one but i never thought to ask if im even doing it right. sometimes in battle, i can go multiple rounds without getting hit once, but other times its the complete opposite and i constantly take massive damage (on normal)
first, are my stats good or should i redo some of the point totals? equipment wise, im always looking for better stuff, though i've been mainly looking for high atk, evasion, and str/dex/end/agility. if i can wisdom, cool, but i don't care about int at all. any tips to make it easier to not take damage or should i abandon this type of build and go for something else?

first
By choosing fleet shades, you're maximizing your evade stat. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that there would be less chance for you to block incoming attacks. Isn't it contrary to your initial intention (maximazing block and parry)?

second
Evade, block, parry, and resist are games of chance. By improving those stats, you will have chances to completely miss the damage. However, those chance won't be 100% due to mechanic of the game, so you will always got hit sometimes. For the damage that get through, it is depend on what monster do. If it is normal attack, you will only suffer minimum damage however frequent. But if it's a MP/SP attack, you can suffer a huge damage, although it's rare. You need to improve your PMI or MMI to lessen the impact. You can prioritise one of them, focusing on what's often or focusing on what's hurt. But the advice is in balance.

third
Your stat is not good enough, wisdom is too low. If you're not dependent to regen and protection (which is common), I guess your stat could work. But if you need to cast quite amount of spells, you'd better give wisdom a bit of your attention. You can ignore intelligence for now, since you're not very dependent to SP tank. But at later level, monster has much greater lazers, you will need additional points in spirit.

--
1H/Light offer the best defense, but that's only true after at level 300+ due to level scaling

--
Following is my stat for comparison.

[attachmentid=30872]

rapier & shield,
head, body, hands, legs, feet.

My build is what considered typical of 1H, selecting heavy as the armor of choice (giving up evade). My goal is to make 1H mechanic do their work; a lot of block and a lot of counter attack. Too bad that my proficiency is still very low (88), I haven't see adequate counter attack. This set do not have a very good defense either, I almost dying on pfudor hourlies with it. However, I am already at the level where adding +5% PMI armor only give +1% of total PMI, so there's not much I can do except to keep leveling up and saving credit to buy exceptional pieces of gear.

You can mimic the composition of my gear (shield of barrier, plates or power) to achieve similar stat. And with your proficiency closer to your level, I believe you will achieve better block & counter than I do.

You don't necessarily need silence if you use Spirit Shield, it's definitely safer to use deprecating spells though.

I like SS very much. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

BTW now that you mention it, I like SS but it is a SP eater for me to maintain all the time of long arena 225+ even I have Spirit Theft. So I don't set SS on IA and cast it manually when I reached 101+ round of End of Days, 110+ round of Eternal Darkness and 75+ round of DwD. ATM keeping SS on is not necessary almost time for me.

But it's annoying to cast and cast it manually... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

If I want to set SS to IA without losing much SP,
- Higher PMI/MMI
- Higher HP
- Higher Block & Parry (for I'm 1H Heavy)

Is there anything I'm missing?

Actually I think it's not having high MMI that's eating up your SP.
Most people have quite a bit of specific mit against Crushing/Slashing/Piercing and focus on getting PMI. I'd say that a large part of spells which deal physical damage already get lowered enough to not proc SS.

But getting a lot of PMI means your MMI and elemental resistances will be lower most of the time, monsters with elemental spells feast on these players and really drain your SP.

I have SS , haste and SV in my IA (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

coz they have low duration compare with protection and SoL (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Acutally I think it's not having high MMI that's eating up your SP.

Thanks! I'm improving my elem. resistances, especially focusing on fire, holy, and dark,
but I must try harder from now on. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Why not Haste/SOL and Spirit Shield ?

Anyway, what's SV ?

I'm always longing for setting Regen and Heartseeker on IA. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
But the day would never come... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

SoL is mostly wasted on the earlier rounds because you won't be anywhere near 0 health anyway, while SS, haste and SV are always useful.

I also thought that the auction is somewhat strange.
CoD makes me comfortable and relaxed seeing the fraudster, though I believed forum WTS is a confidence society.
Too sad... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

In general, you can trust people in the WTS and WTB section. Mainly because it's not a huge community.
First time I've had trouble with someone anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
