There is no change to element strike damage, it affects only elemental spell damage.
You get that skill with the Dovahkiin title. You need to be at least lvl 300 for that anyway, and that title isn't used by many people as Godslayer gives bonus damage.

or just evade for mages?

What is proxy bid(Auction)?


I have seen the seller proxy bid for others.

It's like automatic bidding on Ebay, you name the highest price you want to offer, the auctioneer will increase the current bid by a minimum amount.

What is proxy bid(Auction)?
I have seen the seller proxy bid for others.

Basically, if you can't be around when the auction is ending, you can inform the seller that you aren't available, inform him/her that you're interest in whatever item(s), and your maximum bid. The auctioneer will then help on your behalf until either your highest bid is outbid, or you win.

That's my strategy on Hell, and I always come close to running out of mana potion (with 1 or none left, with 10 at the strategy). So I reckon my gear is not good enough?

I tried using Imperil, but it drains mana so fast that I run out of mana at ~round 140. Do you use focus during the run?

Well I need FRD for Hellfest, but to get FRD, I need to clear DwD on BT T.T

Saving mana is the issue for melee to clear marathons and XXfest...
As you know, basically you can save mana with these:

- IA (at least 3+), RR, high WIS
- High proficiency of Supportive and Deprecating
- Cast Regen and Heartseeker with Spirit Stance (or Channeling as far as possible)
- Minimize using buffs and debuffs (including Cure)
- Offense and defense (It may sound weird, but it's true. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif))
- Use Focus (Minimize if you want to clear fast...)

It is an overall and composite matter, so I can't say a certain element or factor is the exact cause or not.

Here's some generic advices:
If your defense (PMI, MMI, Evade/Block/Parry/Resist, specific mitigation, and Attack Speed) is too low, you would use Cure more frequently and your SP might be insufficient with Spirit Shield.
Raising your specific mitigation by IWing gears is the cheapest (free if you do it yourself) way to increase defense against monster's MP/SP attack.
Only 5 levels per gear gives +20% to specific mitigations (including spike shield) on average.
And +20% to all specific mitigations is similar to that you gain more MMI, like from 60% to 68%. (yes, except void though)
VV helps to keep HP high and save MP and SP. I think it's very efficient and relatively inexpensive Hath perk (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
In case of debuffs, Weaken or Silence may be a must when 2 or more SGs are shown.
But only "debuff once or twice per round" is enough. Raise your dep. proficiency to increase duration and counter-resist.
Imperil is a waste of MP with rapier. Why do you use it?
You can easily balance your MP and SP with Spirit Theft.

Well... if you feel really insufficient your MP, using focus before 88 (2 SGs) or 113 (3 SGs) round is unavoidable to clear DwD.
Good Luck~ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

+Edit
I'd say that FRD also deserves consideration, but OFC is much better when doing Hellfest or IW.

At least it make the elemental strike hit harder (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
I use imperil BTW, with leather armor.

thanks, so i can bid some items, when i can't access an internet

I'm pretty happy with my shade shadowdancer set, but question was not about light armor itself but about using it instead of heavy one with shield and 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I guess you reply yourself a couple of posts earlier.

about IW - how do you guys do it (yourself)?
on IWBTH+?

Light 1H+Shield is the most survivable (and slow) style of play. You can do IW IWBTH before lv. 300.

Hell, using my 1H + shade I often go through a PFUDOR RE without casting cure or regen (not to mention no pots).

Well, it would be helpful if he feels that his MP is sufficient enough. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Is there a point in leveling up a weapon 'of the vampire'? The amount of drain it does is pitiful, even less than the average monster inflicts in a turn, and the effect kicks in only rarely. Would I be better served, health-wise, to just use a sword with higher damage to kill monsters faster?

Nope. Banshee, Illithid, & Vampire weapons are not really useful nor worthwhile. Whenever you can, replace your current weapon with one that has the "Slaughter" suffix (higher damage).

Thanks!

What are the top 2 fastest fighting styles(including Mage) ?

I mean using less time not less turn.

Huh...

I'm pretty happy with my Ethereal Illithid Mace... then again, it is Magnificent. The only other Eth. Mace I have is a Balance one. The Slaughter Mace I have is Tempest and they're both only Superiors. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Not play at all is the fastest style (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
