QUOTE(Colman @ Oct 23 2013, 17:25)  I am sure I am not rich and I am not a (hentai) expert. 1) I have to buy gears from others while cannot obtain gears for sell. 2) High ping (Eastern Asia) 3) Poor equipment, my best set is the leq leather of protection. I think experts and the richs will never consider leather. 4) Haven't played with every style (never try elemental magic). 5) Not sufficiently hentai/ hardcore. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I thought you were a HV expert because you help others out (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Colman: Not really, Ichy can clear Hellfest easily by using his leather protection set but not with his shade. He's saying that shade more geared towards ROB or marathons. Well of course the other experts can have different opinions/experience though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Colman,
You don't have a store do you? Would you happen to have an Exquisite or higher Hallowed Rapier of Balance with 3 or 4 pab, the latter being preferable?

I do not have good enough gears for sell. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) I have only got this rapier. It seems 22+ LotD is very important. and I won't have it in the next few months. (Assume I am still active by the time) This post has been edited by Colman: Oct 23 2013, 09:57

I have this Hallowed Rapier but it's a 2pab and I think that deficiency would be hard to overcome given that weapons don't get pa potency anymore. Oh well, the search continues.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Oct 22 2013, 23:45)  leather better than shade in GF (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Well, leather can go deeper in grindfest but it's a lot slower. In fact, leather is really only useful in grindfest for me. I used to use it for IW but my shade is good enough now where I don't need it. This post has been edited by T_Starrk: Oct 23 2013, 11:24

QUOTE(LittleSweetLoli @ Oct 23 2013, 01:16)  U serious ? ^^;
Those should all be IWBTH clears by your level methinks (well, at least battletoads minimum).  Seriously, arena is one of the easiest modes in the game. Also, I reminded I haven't done any of my arenas today (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

Note too self ? Don't read books during play. I also failed Eternal Darkness (Hard) - I don't realize that Regen effect ends. I'll clear it when I find some time. Afterall I need over 1h to clear that arena.

Wow, as a new player, all of these pictures are making me wonder if I made a mistake playing a heavy armor wearer using two handed weapons! Now, I wonder... Should I have went sword and board for the mitigation?
So, another question I suppose... (I am a rabid question asker... I believe in advice wholly),
Is two handed fighting style viable in the higher levels, or is the loss in damage mitigation not worth it? Also, now that I wonder about this, should a two handed heavy player NOT use power armor for the loss in mitigation... Is the power armors extra offensive benefits mainly meant to offset the sword and board guy? Does it make more sense for a two-hander to really stack up on as much mitigation as he/she can?
I really appreciate the discussion and the insight offered in this thread, by long-time players, to new folks like myself. Thank you all!
(Note: Yes, my joined date is a long time ago. But up until a couple of weeks ago, I was only a lurker... And didn't even realize there was a 'Hentaiverse' until I finally noticed the 'You have encountered a monster' tab when searching for my pronz! Haha. So, yeah, for all intents and purposes, I'm very new.)

For melee, 2H is for fast clearance. So Estoc/Power of Slaughter is the pinacle of this play style. Of course you can use mace and lights for better defense, but that kind 2H won't be as fast. I believe T_Starrk doing all those Puff in 2H. Then again, his gears is heavenly. Let's not talk about nobody3x, he tell everybody he's poor, let's assume his gears is just as poor, be it in defense or in offense. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) My 2H can't do shit in higher than Hell. My DW can survive Nintendo, but playing to proove that you can survive is not fun. My 1H, well, it's a tank, I still trying to figure out its limit. Do what's fun for you. Clearing arenas higher than what's expected from you is not challenging, it's painful. Mostly from it's tedious process. BTW, this is me coming to the party. Is it photoshop? Is it real?

I think you should continue to stack on PMI with plate or power of protection, while focus on getting better weapon if you want a damage boost. Only in higher levels one can start to wear slaughter without having to worry about the low PMI of power because high base stats can contribute significantly into PMI. The passive bonuses that different kind of prof give you also become more pronounced then (for heavy 2H, they would be better specific mitigation, extra health and parry). You should also note that the other 1H users here are all over levels 200 and thus having more than 200 1H prof. That's the point when 1H's damage is maximized, thanks to being able to counter strike 3 times every turn. Prof lower than 100 however, only allows for 1 counter, and that's, by all means suck. Anyway, there's a reason why 2H is still the most popular melee style at the moment. No, actually there are several reasons; two of them being safe to play (wearing heavy armors and/or using mace) and doesn't require optimum equips to become rewarding. Hell, it also doesn't require any prof. grinding at all; you pick up your [ tvtropes.org] BFS and just go to town like that. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) So yeah, imo you should just keep playing as 2H for now. At higher levels you will get a lot more breathing room so you can proceed to experimenting other playing styles then. Who know, you might just give up your armors completely to become a Black Mage.
