[X] My Assistant

IW is a 2h / 1h world. -edit and niten, but i dont have a set of that, erwtsnert is the one to ask for that- Mage is not too useful for higher difficulty. Might be different for the 450+ decked out mages. 2h is a lot faster, 1h is a lot safer.

I often do hell cuz I dont always have time to sit and mash keys for 30 min or more. Easy enough that i dont bother with shards for most of my runs. it takes me about 16 min for a mag (just over 1 infusion). (Scythe > estoc, power balance til ~160% acc, then slaughters / protects). Also redoing my estoc so going > hell slows a lot w/ my scythe. If you have the time / pay attention, it's probably more efficient to do the highest difficulty you can do comfortably. It usually works out to be better pxp/hr even when sacrificing +damage for pmi when you raise difficulty. But it varies a bit w/ item quality, so have to test yourself. Need at least 2% pmi to go up a difficulty (hell+), but might need 3 and try lowering pmi from there. All this talk is heavy armor, cuz i dont have potion issues, and +2000 damage over leather.

BT vs IWBTH is no longer that much an advantage; iwbth use to be 2x BT pxp modifier, but is now just the normal +40%. Same rule above, do the most efficient one if you have time. But if you're using shards, probably won't get more than 1 run in w/in the hour, so whatever works. For IWBTH, I have to wear my plate chest instead of my slaughter chest, so i prefer BT. harder to get my acc > 140 w/ having to wear plate too.

If going slow and not paying attention much, 1h is really easy just slower. A lot less pmi needed, but 2 2h hell runs w/ 2h is significantly faster than 1 1h BT run (2*2.8 = 5.6 pxp) for me. Carry more spirit potions, at least 5-7. Or use mana overflow + dark spells + drain for sp theft.

If not sharded, at minimum you have to wear enough PMI to get yourself to like 70% of the rounds, and then use scrolls to help out. I have IA3 though; if you're not IAed, might have to add some more PMI since you'll be using more turns rebuffing. Or if potions not a worry, bring some health potions and double dip heals in the late rounds.

Perhaps 2M. I dunno (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif). Plate is not that popular ATM.

BTW, I found that I'm get used to 1h and cannot go back to 2H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You got trolled on the intelligence roll. I had a very similar piece but with better intelligence sell for 750k in an auction recently. The shitty intelligence roll hurts it though, but still, mag max EDB. Show it to Dreamophobia but he might not buy it but he's looking for one.

Definitely 1m+, might go up to 2m depending on buyers.

Source: Based on worse piece auctioned for 1m.

PMI roll isn't that great. Otherwise it's really nice. Old plate with 4 PABs and shielding too (pretty nice PAB rolls too). Eh, like Colman said though plate isn't that popular right now, it was way more popular before endurance PAB got nerfed. Gonna say 3 or 4 million in a shop, less if it goes to auction.

you mag mjolnir can get higher bid that time if dreamophobia can online ( he said he lost internet connection when auction day closed ) , starrk (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


500k maybe ( prefix is suck )


@cruelsion

maybe around 2M or 2.5M since your PMI is suck but it have 4PAB old heavy and shielding prefix (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, I read that in his WTB thread. It makes me very sad (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) . Missed bid war (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Anyway... here it is... old phase but much better intelligence roll.

Hah, 500k is already a damn fine price to me; after all I was only expecting the usual Noodly and nothing more. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Edit: You are right Starrk, my phase is so similar to yours. Where did you get it, your phase I mean?

Doesn't having no resist hurt it though?





Also, I was reading up on mages and came upon this sentence:
A killing blow to a target that has Coalesced Mana with Arcane Blow will always trigger Ether Tap.

Isn't Arcane Blow smtn of the past? Is there still a way to Either Tap with 100% succes?

Lol, dropped in some arena. I'm pretty sure it was an arena clear on one of the schoolgirl marathons (or maybe it was one of the higher level regular arenas, meh, idk). Looks like it was just before .76 hit judging by the equip ID number. Anyway, sat in my inventory for awhile until I came to the conclusion that I'm never gonna be an electric mage on the side (even though Snowflake keeps giving me Mag+ Mjolnir gear, lol).

@colman

don't grind HV anymore now since my ping issue still lurking around (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

but usually 3-6 exq per run (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Arcane blow =normal attack.
Coalesced mana +normal attack killing blow = 100%ether tap.

@Nobody: with Max drop trainning? look not very different from mine.

Yeah I thought so too (people mock negation but resist is actually a nice useful stat to have). No resist and no attack accuracy and it doesn't even have dexterity to make up for it. Apparently some (most?) mages only care about the EDB, PAB (mainly int and wis), and the evade rolls. I'm still not sure what mages prefer actually, do they like the new phase with the attack accuracy, resist, and higher agility rolls? Or would they rather have an old phase piece with all four PABs and a fat dexterity roll? Maybe a mage can enlighten me.

I see thanks, I guess A. Acc and Staff Dmg is useful after all. :3

My current gear criteria is 5-6 stats with Agi/Wis/Int. With emphasis on EVD and EDB. Even with all stats maxed out, 4 stats is just no good in my eyes. This is coming from a newb though :3

I have no idea how to not go oom without proccing every Coalesced Mana I see. Any idea which tier spells Holy/Dark mages spam?

dexterity in 0.77 useless for mage, so im prefer fresh dropped phase, but they still so rare .(
