QUOTE(Kagoromo @ Dec 7 2013, 09:04)  Well, it's used to be that people with less than ideal ping (i.e ez 4 turns per sec) would choose either mage or 2H as their play style. Seeing how 1H has started to be used despite that just makes me feel all fuzzy inside. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) WelI, I WAS an Elemental Mage not a long time ago. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But doing long battles on higher difficulty was very tough (for me atleast). So I shifted to DW-Light. It's not bad, and have a decent gameplay speed and survivability, but for PFUDOR it's still not satisfactory (mostly because of my crappy gears (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ). So I'm thinking of trying out 1H-Style. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And as for 2H, it was the very style using which I started playing HV, but for some reason, I don't want to resume using it again, since I don't have good gears for it.

QUOTE(Cats Lover @ Dec 7 2013, 08:31)  Very good. Even lv.10 Exqusite Hallowed/Demonic Rapier of Slaughter is much enough for 1H user to beat marathons IMO.
Should I use it for 1H or as mainhaind for DW? (rapier/rapier)

since you are european player , go for DW mantra (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Better find some axe / club for mainhand (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) You will fast enough to clear PFU DwD with DW in less than 1 Hour if your atk power are high enough (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This post has been edited by nobody_xxx: Dec 7 2013, 09:56

Both good. Generally speaking, it is said that club+rapier or axe+rapier is better, and rapier is better for offhand. But I think it depends on each user and preferance. Rapier+rapier is also not bad one. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) it's quite rare for DW user using dual rapier , cat (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Think of it as a more defensive playstyle with additional parry over an already high off-hand parry. Edit: Oh and a freaking good rapier is way expensive and difficult to find IMO QUOTE(holy_demon @ Dec 7 2013, 16:17)  Just curious, how much atk is high enough?
second this too! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by LOL50015: Dec 7 2013, 10:40

QUOTE(hihohahi @ Dec 7 2013, 12:19)  there is a low chance you can get high grade mats from exq send them to Slobber if pxp is > 316, he pays 2.5k for each send them to piyin if pxp is > 320 with >2 PABS, he pays 3k for each
I salvage them if they are > 325, sell them if they are > 316, bazaar if they are < 316
Wow I don't know such deals exist, has to check WTB threads more often :/ Thanks for the tip!!! QUOTE(Cats Lover @ Dec 7 2013, 19:31)  I like rare one (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I still have the dream to be a fighter who uses offensive magic, or battle mage, whatever it is called. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) maybe elemental rapier of battlecaster + elemental buckler of battlecast + phase ? attack with offensive spell and, defend with shield, and counter attack with your trusty epee xD This post has been edited by holy_demon: Dec 7 2013, 14:51

Why does my max HP increase by 1 for every 90-100 arena rounds I clear? I'm not sure if it's normal, but I can't find any documentation on it.

It should come from your armor proficiency.

I thought of that, but the proficiency is keeping up with my level, and the increase keeps happening even after it's maxed out for the level in question. Which happens pretty early. I'm not complaining of course, just trying to figure it out.

Deciding what weapon to use on mainhand (and to a lesser extend, for offhand as well) for DW is more about proc effect/chance and less so about the main stats; the difference among them has very little significance in an actual battle compared to the difference of the proc.

QUOTE(Colman @ Dec 7 2013, 06:20)  For me, mp is not a problem at all. On the other hand, burden a problem. For me, balance between B/I has the high priority. That's why I don't really like Force Shields. QUOTE(Kagoromo @ Dec 7 2013, 08:18)  I think the huge added block chance is worth the extra mp cost. Dunno, I think this "Huge" factor have been greatly blown up. QUOTE(Kagoromo @ Dec 7 2013, 08:18)  Also, force shield's innate high block chance writes off the need for "of the Barrier" suffix and makes other useful suffices available. "of Protection" and "of Warding" are particularly of interest. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) And the difference is about 1-1,5%. Doubtful interest. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(kuro009 @ Dec 7 2013, 06:24)  But Which one is better overall for 1H-Style? Axe, Club, Rapier, Shortsword or Wakizashi? Rapier with max PA chance. QUOTE(tonytyzhang @ Dec 7 2013, 06:33)  Based on the following, which weapons should I use?
Weapon-1 + Shield. This post has been edited by Laboq: Dec 8 2013, 03:11
