Do those waste turns?

No they don't.

What's a good 2H weapon for power leveling 2H proficiency and that goes well with Shade?

I'd say Mace, since stun prevents monsters from parrying (I don't think you can get proficiency if the target monster parries).

You can. Proficiency gain won't be affected by parry/resist/evade.

Weapons - Go into a high difficulty crude equipment's Item World and go for as long as you can.

Does the quality of the Mace matter in such endeavor? Will a cheap Superior Mace suffice?

Oh, cool, didn't know that.

Maybe pick a Mace of Balance with dex and a good proc chance, to stun more often? You will take less damage thanks to stun, and inflict less damage as well (compared to a weapon of slaughter), so that sounds good for proficiency gain.

@Dan31
@Varst

Thanks for the answers.

I've been using a mace with a 27% stun chance for 4 turns. I recently got my hands on another mace that has better all round stats but the stun duration is only 3 turns. Is it possible for this mace's stun duration to go up to 4 and if so, how? Through increasing my own level? Perhaps through potency in the Item World?

So I was trying to determine how much better a weapon would be for me without equipping it because it had STR PAB so I looked at the wiki and found THIS formula. I plugged in all my numbers and [www.wolframalpha.com] THIS is what got outputted. I'm pretty sure my damage isn't it the negative 10000s. Am I doing something wrong?

I did look around some more and I found another Physical Damage Formula. If that is the true formula, does that mean every point in STR will give me 2 more damage to my weapon? [puu.sh] http://puu.sh/6dMYF.png <-- Is that weapon actually putting out 581 crushing damage?

Oh and is there really a big difference between Magnificent and Superior? The stat difference seems miniscule and I'm confused how such small stat differences can make one able to take on IWBTH when I'm having trouble on Nightmare.

The base proc chance duration cannot be changed. But it is adjusted with your level, so it might go up providing you level enough... You will probably get an ever better mace before it happens.

Just out of curiosity, could you post the links to your maces? To get the link to an equipment, hover the mouse over it and press 'c'.

1st Mace
2nd Mace

I know the 2nd Mace is probably better because of the damage but I'd feel a lot better about it if I knew it could get up to 4 turns for the stun duration like the 1st Mace.

[www.wolframalpha.com] THIS is what you should get.

Exquisite and above have a % bonus to all stats. You should probably level a bit more before clearing item worlds.

I know the 2nd Mace is probably better because of the damage but I'd feel a lot better about it if I knew it could get up to 4 turns for the stun duration like the 1st Mace.

At my level second mace has: Stunned: 25% chance - 4 turns

Both have a 4-turn duration at my level, haha. Pick the mace of slaughter over the one of balance, you deal significantly more damage and don't lose too much in stun proc chance.

At my level second mace has: Stunned: 25% chance - 4 turns

That's reassuring then, thank you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Of course, Dan is probably right and I'll have gotten a better one by then. At least I know the duration can go up with level so it makes looking for one a little easier.

But it is adjusted with your level, so it might go up providing you level enough...

Nope, only stun duration scales up with level, not the stun chance. The 27% chance you see is already the "base" as you call it, and it can't be modified by any mean or method that I've known, including me leveling up, IW or the forge.

Err, yeah, you are right, I was actually speaking about the duration, not the proc chance, and I ended mixing those up. My bad.

For anyone interested, here's my Eco 5 logbook:

lvl 4 - 2 eco, 1 arch, 1 weaver
lvl 2 - 1 anni, 1 arch
lvl 7 - 3 eco, 2 anni, 2 weaver
lvl 4 - 1 eco, 1 anni, 1 arch, 1 pene
lvl 5 - 2 eco, 2 pene, 1 anni
lvl 5 - 2 eco, 1 anni, 1 pene, 1 weaver
lvl 2 - 1 anni, 1 weaver
lvl 9 - 5 eco, 3 anni, 1 pene

31 runs, I guess I should consider myself lucky.

I wonder how some people seem to be getting eco 5 flat, with no other potency unlocks.

If you also consider stun from critical hit, it is scaled (slightly ) with level.

I think the system is still biased to giving more of what's already there.
