I'd suggest raising your difficulty and imperiling every monster. It's not that easy to one-shot everything now, so I'd suggest spending more time on high difficulty.
I think the staff is the problem. Even though it's heavily forged, it's still lacking in mana conservation. It's better to get a elec-elec or elec-destruction staff, depending on your magic score, then IW that staff to econ 5.
Clothes are okay, though I'm not going to forge anything without ex+ EDB.

Thank you for the advice. Yeah i was wondering about imperiling, it does make things faster but its also a bit annoying for the game to be balanced around having to imperil everything. I'll have to look into getting a better staff, they are quite expensive though. This one I pretty much got for free, which is the reason i've held onto it for some long. The prices are quite hectic now. EDIT: Does anyone have an idea of the ballpark figure for how many millions a good Legendary Shocking Redwood Staff of Destruction would cost?

Seeing the talk about imperil... Would it make sense now for melee to use imperil as well? Or is the mana penalty not worth it?

Imperil makes things slower, so I just keep increasing the difficulty to compensate. And I'm not Tenboro so I'm going to tell you if something works but not why it works. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) That staff's free....no wonder. Well it all depends on the stats, but something like this would cost you 10M.

Don't think so, you don't have that many ways to get your mana back. This post has been edited by varst: Dec 29 2013, 17:36

I use imperil only on school girl when using axe/shield.

I normally play Estoc + Heavy. I was wondering if trying out my Estoc with Light Armor would be a good combination. Any suggestions?

To Imperil every normal monster may be waste of mana, but to schoolgirl or other ultimate monsters, it could be a good choice for 2H (not estoc) and Niten. I use Imperil to schoolgirls on marathons when I play Niten. This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Dec 29 2013, 20:45

I still look for some brainless fighting style utilizing MouseMelee script and I have a question. What are absolute minimal stats when it comes to IWBTH and playing 2h + light ? By stats I mean evasion / parry / DMG / resist ? I've tried heavy + 2h, but so far a set of full power of slaughter doesn't make more than 10 rounds (not IW or forged) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).

Depends on whether you use Estoc or Mace. Estoc+light is too risky if you don't have mag/legmax evade. You should be wearing atleast full mag if you want to attempt the marathons. I guess 65~% PMI/MMI and ~6% evade, or around 75% PMI/MMI with 0% evade is enough for IWBTH (evade % without feathering). Your base damage should be atleast 5000, a bit less can work with mace. Parry doesn't fluctuate much with 2H so I can't say anything about that. Ofcourse, an ethereal weapon is almost a must.
Be sure to feather (if going heavy) and cast all buffs you have.

I'm thinking of switching over from 2h heavy to 2h light(shade). 1)What should I prioritize? ie stats, suffix 2)What would be considered decent gear? I will more than likely be playing on lower difficulties until i max out my light armor proficiency. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

The staff was unforged when I got it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) though I see people selling worse legendary staffs for a far bit. Hmmm 10m thats probably going to take a while. I'll probably then recycle my current staff to get some mats back. This post has been edited by EsotericSatire: Dec 30 2013, 03:57

With a good mace, the stats erwtsnert mentioned could work, they wouldn't have to be very good as the mace does a lot of the work. But it will be slow. Your gear would have to be very good for an estoc to be even worth trying. If you want brainless, give 1H a try. Good Barrier shield with block and your best rapier. You can put on your heaviest power, and then ride the Spirit Stance as long as you like. It's quite brainless, the hardest part is developing a way of cycling up...and down...and up...the mobs. Probably better than the mace, as the mace will take much longer finishing off the strongest individuals in a given mob.

I will more than likely be playing on lower difficulties until i max out my light armor proficiency. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) To change to light, you give up PMI in exchange for evade. You still want the best PMI you can get but Evade should also be good. Get gear with good Evade and PMI and then all 4PABs (or any 3 as long as...Strength? is present?) stats to start with. Leather s/b of Protection, Shade any with Fleet or Shadowdancer if you can find it. Weapon is more important. You need a Slaughter Mace...more important than all the other gear. Although at your level, even with a great mace, you could find it slow compared to what you achieve now. Decent gear? Just try out what you already have, and see how the Arenas and other stuff goes before upgrading. There's a ton to choose from in the shops, and not expensive...not sure if 30k gear is good enough for you but you should be able to find Exquisite Fleet Shade for that with ok stats. Weapon is much harder.

Okay, thanks for the tips. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll work on a set of shade armor. I have a set of leather of protection already, but not really a big fan of it...

I'll work on that too. Would an estoc be out of the question with light armor?
