[X] My Assistant

I sold many stuff including crystals and artifacts for credits, and I got Crystarium III just now at last.
Now it's a good day to grind! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Crystarium III (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) so expensive

If you mean status effects like searing skin or freezing limbs, nope.
Offensive spells and spike shield can proc them.

Thanks for clearing the doubts. But the result is not gonna help anyway. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Is it possible to be able "Block" without "Shield" or "Heavy Armor"?

Question; what's the purpose of effective proficiency? Does it increase the rate of proficiency gain in addition to proc bonus? Eg: elemental

Second, whats the best way to up elemental proficiency? from lvl 100-175 it's moved from base 95 to base 107. Ouch.

Use a single 1 hand weapon without shield can still have some block from 1h proficiency. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Whoa! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Didn't count that one! Thanks for the info. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

so, I am lv 225 now, I haven't switched my equipment at all since lv 150 because battle drops don't ever give me anything good after the current update.

I can do hourly battles on battletoad, but I get one shot death a lot more often now and I am starting to wonder if my equipments just aren't good enough anymore.

I don't know how I can get better ethereal weapons... so should I start playing item world and try to level up this so so mace I have?

Just keep playing, it is only around 200 when your proficiencies start to match your level as below then, you tend to level up too fast. Also don't waste too much money on the Assimilator Training as it isn't needed.

If you start using Spirit Shield and casting Weaken on pretty much every mob (or concentrate on the higher level/hp mobs) you should be able to easily take on PFUDOR on random battle. I have to heal pretty much every 3-4 attacks if I don't use weaken.

If you want better equipment, you can always buy it off other people, otherwise you have to be very lucky to get a good piece in your weapon style.

Don't worry about leveling up items or forging them until you get equipment that is worth at least 1 million (I would even say higher), it is not worth the cost of forging or the effort IWing*, as the bonus you get is pretty minor.

*of course you can do a little bit like the first few levels, but getting it to level 10 is definitely not worth it.

Some Exquisites would be nice and did you actually upgrade those superiors at the forge?
That boot really has to go.

If you are getting one-shot at your level, are you using Supportive spells...at all? Or do you simply mean that Spark of Life is triggering more often than you'd like?

Either way, the Item World won't save your equipment. It has to be upgraded, and you will not be able to do that buy finding sufficient pieces yourself; you will need to engage the trading forums.

hi,
so right now for arenas, I can do IWBTH on the first page, and hell on the second page.
For good loot quality and experience, which one should I do first?
Should I sacrifice difficulty for higher lvl arena or vice versa?
Thanks guys.

I got one shot before I could even finish casting all my support spells.

I cast in this order
- haste
- protection
- sparks of life
- shadow veil
- regen

heartseeker takes priority when I get that free casting because it helps so much.

the point is that before I could finish casting all the spells, several monsters would be fast enough to kill me before I could get all my supports in.

if you get 1 shot , than cast SoL and regen first (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heartseeker should be cast last regardless of free cast being available or not, you want all the buffs in place to protect you when you cast Heartseeker because of it's long cast time.

It's not like you're going to die if you don't cast those def spells first and if you're not sure, just cast SoL first. I'd rather take a tiny bit more damage than waste 20%+ of my mana. With not even 5% mana you can heal yourself to full again.

Lots of good advice has been offered. I would add this.

If you haven't gone to the wiki yet, you should. Start with the advice page HV Wiki - Advice and browse around.

Your armor is a big mix of gear, and lots of it is not as helpful as you think. Try maybe to get a full set of Leather of Protection gear, it will be the cheapest option in WTS thread. You can find free too. No other suffixes allowed! See if that helps. If not...try better Leather of Protection gear...or go Shade, any type of Shade for now as long as it has both Strength and Dexterity PABs, and is Superior. This too should be quite inexpensive, or even free, in WTS thread. No ideas to be offered for Kevlar, simply not enough of it around to be worthwhile. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Definitely replace your mace. Make it Slaughter , not Balance. This alone will make a massive difference.

Hourlies. Add 2 - 3 health potions to your battle inventory and eat them whenever your health dips below...60%? That should be enough to keep you protected from one-shots, as health pots you both a big HP boost plus an ongoing regen. There are few other better uses for health pots, so don't be afraid to figure out how to use them.

What do you think one-shot death mean, it doesn't mean you are hanging on by the skin of your tooth, it's instant defeat, no next turn for the player.

The OP said casting Heartseeker takes precedence when he has channelling effect available. I took that to mean that he casts Heartseeker first whenever he gains channelling effect regardless of his normal buff casting procedure. I found that most one shot death occurs when Heartseeker is cast before the buffs are in place. I have tried deliberately casting Heartseeker first a few times in RE and sure enough,almost always an instant defeat (max sized mob).

You can try IA(s) and put SoL on the first slot.

I haven't been one-shot for some time now, I was simply pointing out my experience in experimenting on how to induce one-shot death; try casting Heartseeker in a large mob consisting of high PL monsters.

I almost never use SoL, only time I cast SoL is in the final round of the Arena or the RoB but I didn't bother casting it last time I did FSM - didn't even get remotely close to needing it.
