I grabbed on of those from the Bazaar myself just now... Just before I kicked the FSM's behind!!! Thanks for the advice on using DW. Heck, even using Sleep was working like a charm!

well , light DW just keep atk without even think of defense ( you must have great shade set + forged ) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I can clear hellfest around 130-140mins now using ubuntu ( I think I will get faster if using mint , but flashing problem is alot more frequently in mint compare with ubuntu (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ) last clear hellfest using wins7 is around 170min (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'm using Power 'cause the only Shade I have is Battlecaster and not that great. Been thinking about buying some, but I used my 150k on increasing my Archaeologist to 3. As far as forging goes... Bindings are still extremely rare for me. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Just finish the IW of my offhand rapier and tried DW in some low level arena. My feeling is that DW arena run require a lot of healing, with my axe + rapier + heavy (3 slaughter + balance + 1 plate of protection). Is there any trick to maintain the mp in long fight?

It's probably your heavy, take way more dmg and use more mana than Light.

use a club, has better defense. you can keep 2 or 3 guys stunned while you finish off your main target too if you're up to the bother of changing targets (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well, power armor make killing fast. And I do not have full set of shade. Not sure can leather of protection also do the job. My short term target is to clear DwD by DW. I am also considering switch my main hand weapon to short-sword to increase the parry.

Besides, everything die in 4 hits and I do not really have reason to do so. edit: Do people still using crude IW to train proficiency? This post has been edited by Colman: Dec 17 2013, 20:03

Use "Club + Focus" for MP recovery.
If you want the best parry, use Waki of Balance in offhand, or use Rapier+Rapier. And despite popular belief, Rapier+Rapier has very good clearing speed in higher difficulty.
One of DW's specialty is Speed. So the best Armor is Shade. Leather of Protection is second choice. My experience with DW+Heavy is very bad. So I don't recommend anyone to use it with DW.

Don't think Leather will do the trick, you'll reduce your damage and take the evd penalty anyway. Keep as many Slaughter pieces as you can, as long as you can clear DwD within 15 pots proportional to spirit/mana, you're fine. A lot of it has to do with whether your mana regeneration is positive or negative. Personally after getting RR, my potion consumption went down by a factor 3. Using focus is just not so efficient, too time consuming. This post has been edited by Oversoul: Dec 17 2013, 21:01

WTF, I IWed and reset my gear 5 times and it got overpower for lvl.1 every time? How many times do I have to do before it stops giving me the same potency that I don't want?

I Know that feeling very well. Nowadays I get these specific potencies 90% of the time: Staffs: Spellweaver or Annihilator. Melee Weapons: Butcher or Swift Strike Armors: Elecproof or Capacitor. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'm fed up with my IW for Staffs. I NEVER get Economizer. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

without crystarium, is it worth trying to normalfest (or even hellfest)until eventual death for crystals?
also, is there a cost-effective way of leveling a monster(x amount of primary crystals, y amount of elemental crystals) or do you just keep feeding them whatever till they hit PL 750?

I would say no without crystarium. If you want to get get crystals, get crystarium and artifact trainings. Artifacts used to only give from 100x, to 500x with crysIII. Now they give 1k crystals, and monsters are easier to level. plus they only cost 10c per now, down from 25c. Also, why do you say PL750?

i think 750 is when low grades are no longer gifts guess i'll start training scavenger/archaeologist. they're both kinda pathetic anyway (16/50, 2/10)

oh i see, yeah, and PL750 is not that hard, but much easier with crys perks. the last upgrade for primaries is about 10000 crystals to get to 750, so not bad. Midgrades are ok, but you should try to get one monster to 1500, that is when only high-grades are gifts. but you should know that scavenger training only increases to a max of 12.5%, from your base level of 10%. I think your archael. training is more important atm.
