QUOTE(Cashino @ Oct 29 2013, 12:32)  That's if you buy things. If you play long enough, you'll eventually get a reasonably good set without having to pay anything.
Also, people really put too much value into Leg+ gear. I use a mostly Exquisites for my Holy set (recently replaced one for a Mag that dropped) and it's enough to get me through IWBTH Arenas minus marathons (no upgrades either). Bigger issue is how much time and attention I want to spend going though stuff.
you are right, though that 'eventually' may take more than a year (since I have never got exq+ mage gear in my HV life, I could only buy them) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The point I'm trying out mage is that they can apparently clear Marathons (at iwbth) where school girls are slain faster than melee and you really need good set to do so. There is no point in playing mage if you can't do tha marathons for 'me' since I can clear all arenas excluding the marathons in 2 hours. mages are expensive (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Nice thing about mage in marathon is that fighting 2 schoolgirls at once turns to be about same as fighting one - manawise and timewise. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Kinda wish finishing Arena on Phudor didn't take so much time, it takes me 10 hours+ to finish everything excluding Eternal Darkness and DwD.
Edit: Maybe I should swap back to Mage when I'm 310...

Already level 281 (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You've accomplished something that took me one year (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good Job So how is it like up there in PFUDOR arenas? Does it drop leg all day? I'm busy in IW and IRL, haven't cleared arenas for few days...

If you have good ping and good equips just stick with melee I guess. The highest leveled player in HV is melee in main so far I've seen. Mages are expensive (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) edit: I shouldve added this into the post above... I won't complain if I get reported for spamming too much posts (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) edit: Now I found myself I can beat PFUDOR RE (10 monsters) without spirits.. awesome thrill playing against high level mobs without SOL and SS (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by cruelsion: Oct 29 2013, 04:19

I have used only 1H style until now, so I dunno about 2H or other styles well. Just curiosity, why the damage scale factor of 2H Damage ability is just 3, while 1H is 4 and DW is 5? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The damage gap between 2H and DW is 600 on 300lvl. One power slaughter can't surpass it. Yes, domino is AoE attack. But it really justifies relatively less base damage with same proficiency...? (no matter how small the difference is) Fully forged 2H weapon has fearsome damage, but I think it is available for only few top players. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Anyone knows the clear speed difference between SD DW and Fenrir/Heimdall Mage for Phudor DwD? Is it small or significant? Assuming they're equal level and geared.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) You get base damage * 2+ targets on average, and you're complaining that DW can hit one target harder?? Why not just take away all of DW's advantages?

I can do PFUDOR DwD in ~65 minutes with shade/dw. I could no doubt do it faster if I had a dual-wield set like Drksrpnt's though. Holy mage should be able to do it (a lot?) faster, assuming they don't run out of mana and have to focus all the time.

My main goal is probably to farm Arena everyday on Phudor, using DW is just not as efficient as mage. So I'm planning to step over to Fenrir in the future, I would've gone for Heimdall if the gears weren't so damn expensive. Well, I don't think I'll sell my DW set just yet before I could hold on my own as mage. The thing I'm worried the most about when I swap is my mana consumption.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Oct 29 2013, 12:58)  20M For leg cobalt phase robe of heimdall in GC auction (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You wrong , HTTP mostly mages now since now turn/s limited to 4 (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Your LoTD still low , 15 is a good one to see exq frequently (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) my ping still suck (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 20m for cobalt prefix eh (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) so radiant or charged prefix would cost 50m? I never talked to HTTP b4 so I wasn't sure.. only thing I heard about him was that he used to clear IWBTH IW in 10 mins. Is he level 500 yet? I'm poor u c I dont want to train LotD anymore... I dont even play HV so frequently anyway. I only play HV when I have bad internet (forcing me to withdraw from playing online games and comeback to HV) given that I have some Tv programs to watch in my computer (e.g. 'Running Man' and 'Gag concert' are must watch for me although I gave up my citizenship of Korea (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif))

Lul, you're using junk exq shadowdancer and same with weapons. I can probably do what you mentioned in 4 hours, but that's not gonna make me more money, maybe if i had 50% more damage then i'd try.

Does it drop leg all day? I'm busy in IW and IRL, haven't cleared arenas for few days... He doesn't have the cash to train LOTD because he's buying experience trainings+perks, i doubt he has a single good exq+ item from a clear bonus. Powerlevelling is overrated, i got to level 245 in 2 months back in january-march and then i quit for 6 months. Someone i know got over level 300 in 3 weeks during the summer, i told him to stop getting ahead of me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif).

Well, I might have exaggerated a bit, I don't think the difference in our equips can be that big, half of my Exqs are Mags in disguise. I clear End of Days in ~1 hour, what about you? As of now I don't really care about anything else except clearing Phudor DwD asap, after that, my level is kinda whatever.

I need IW experts to advice on me please (karma not spent today to give it to you, whoever would like to advice me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) I'm currently playing hell difficulty IW on my exquisites and legendaries, I ran IWTBH IW once at 176 rounds required exq and i barely made it into the finish line using 1 handed fighting style with a cheap eth. rapier of slaughter. Can you guys tell me your experience on IWing? Like which was easier for you or your preferred fighting style and gears to accompany it as well as which build was quicker. I welcome mage experts to answer me too (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thank you very much in advance edit: is IWBTH IW the only effective way? I mostly have over 80 stamina so plz dont consider stamina consumption, is hell IW too slow and inefficient? I would like to test it but It's too time-comsuming so please tell me your experience thanks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by cruelsion: Oct 29 2013, 07:11

Its strange. 1 hour for school girl but 10 hours in total.... Anyway, may I know what weapon are you using? I'm too lazy to play arena, since the drop is........ @Curelsion: I can only do IWBTH IW by 1h, so my advice is not useful. What can I tell you is that 2h IW required good armor.
