[X] My Assistant

what 2H are you using and which potions did you bring? my curiosity...

4x Heroic Health Potion
1x Heroic Mana Potion
(probably should've gone for a more 3 and 2 approach come to think of it, but still)
and this...

EDIT: I made it to around 25-30 before running out of mana/mana pot/debuff cooldowns. I tried to maximize use of my turns by using Great Cleave and that secondary ability to clear an entire round in one turn... My Domino's only at 59% I believe :/

That's the problem right there

Bring 4 mana potion and 1 spirit potion. Use cure and regen to recover health. Health potion is a waste of valuable potion slot, unless you're attempting PFUDOR random encounter, when 1 should be more than enough.

Don't use debuff, unless you're facing boss or doing PFUDOR random encounter

Also level up your pack rat training to level 5 :/

Ah, thanks bunches. Here's to hoping this works in T-1h30m...

EDIT: Oh, damn, Pack Rat atm is much too expensif for me lol...

EDIT2: How do I handle brute force damage though... I tend to get wrecked when mobs deal consistently high damage and Cure cast is on cooldown ... I think that's why I've been sticking with health pots rather than just mana...

Wait you're telling me that 100k is too much for you at your level? O.o

Just what did you spend all your credits on?

And where do you get your gears? Hopefully not the bazzaar...

Cast Haste, Protection, Shadow Veil, and Regen whenever they're down. If you stilll need to cast cure, cast Spirit shield. In normal, you shouldn't even need to cast Cure at all...

Also have you ever clicked on the abilities page? Just making sure...

100k is a BIG bother also for me that am 50 level over (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
furthermore, have you slotted all the abilities you can? and a scroll should be usefule to save mana...

I'd have to say this then. I'm a rather poor noob >_>
I just can't imagine how one arena from the next got so impossibly hard on me...

abilities slotted it seems, but i think you should cancel scavenger and go with pack rat instead, eventually you recover the 10k even faster...

Okay, that 50k on assimilator was wasted. Prof is not really that much of an issue pre-200. Heck even at my level, I do PFUDOR with 0 prof on 1H just fine... Scavenger is a poor investment, especially if you don't even any level in quartermaster. So is 75k on archeologist, considering how rare the artifact is.

There you go, 125k that should have been spent on pack rat. Now cancel that scavenger training and put 2 points into pack rat.

Also, reset the AP on spark of life, and put those AP into Shadow Veil

I got assimilator to compensate for my already low proficiencies, and the only reason I put AP into spark of life is because I never felt the benefits of shadow veil. My base evade is literally only .5% and when I was taking damage at roughly the same rate with shadow veil on I forsook it...

Train Ability Boost and Adept Learner a bit. The first few levels are dirt cheap for what they bring.

Can you link us your equipment?

Like I said, proficiency is not that big of an issue. It will eventually catch up to you as you get to high level. I myself have a level 1 assimilator only (yep, I made the same stupid mistake back then), and I got my 1H prof from 0 to 300 in 4 days.

The formula for evade is like this (1-(1-base_evade)*(1-shadow_evade_bonus))

As you can see, the less evade, the more the buff adds. In your case with 0 evade, it pretty much gives you a straight 25% chance to evade an attack.

In fact it's actually more effective than protection, since protection follow a similar formula: total mitigation = 1 - (1-base mit)*(1-protection_mit_bonus), so if your base mit is ~50%, protection only gives you 12.5% increase in mitigation.

Yeah, here:
Main
No offhand :/
Helmet
Body
Hands
Legs
Feet

Still equaled to 25% dmg reduction, though... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Not to mention that maxed SV give 25% evade while maxed Protection give 30% dmg mitigation.

Sent you a moogle with a big wall of text. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

True, that got right over my head lol

Not to mention SV costs more and lasts less. And that's why I always keep protection up, while SV falls into the same "use with caution" category as Spriti Shield.

Should put that tl;dr here so everyone can criticise learn from it xD

Yeah, here:

it's 2H, so you can't have offhand... btw, the estoc of balance is because you wanted an ethereal-but-couldn't-find-a-slaughter one or does it have a particular reason? it also has only 1 PAB (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Could always switch to a mace. Stun helps a ton with survival. Using an estoc is kind of pointless at low difficulty/level.

Finally hit 100, and I'd like to /r/ some feedback on my current setup before I go further:

Also:
Should I swap to 1h, or is 2h fine?
Can I get some possible pointers for a mage build (i.e. prefferred equips and whatnot), thinking about switching


Sorry if these have been asked. Ty for your time

Holyshit GP got shot up to 260 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

will it get to 400 by the end of today? xD

man I wish I bought GP yesterday, from 190 to 260 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
