Just found this while lurking in the bazaar: Superior steel chainmail coif

Is that a collector equipment worth selling? ^^

The other day I stumbled upon this but couldn't buy it, I was too slow:

88% domino strike... stunning (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
could you please post the stat of your mace?
don't know what he uses, but that function doesn't work on all browsers (or at least i haven't found how): ie with opera you have to manually insert the second quote -.-"
to write another comment is indeed faster (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My Mace is good, but not amazing... but the Mana theft really keeps my potion use down.

You could try getting Rapier of nimble. They're not as expensive as rapier of slaughter/balance, and they provide you more defense (parry) that you'd need. The loss in ADB is not that serious, since rapier doesn't give much to begin with (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Some Power of warding/Plate of warding could be useful too (preferably the former - I'm not a fan of plate nowadays). They're cheap and give you defense against magic, which is the common weakness of both 1H and heavy. However, only get them when you're running out of spirit pot during arena run, due to spirit shield drain.

Also, make it a habit to always use infusion for IWBTH/PFUDOR run, they're very useful on DW and 1H. Try to match infusion with spike shield

Thanks for the tips.

Not really, it must be a good item as well to make some profit.

I have this if you really want to start collecting old stuff.

i've got this estoc and my domino is stuck at 75%, even though the stats seem similar to those of your mace:

[attachmentid=36354] [attachmentid=36355]

is it due to my character stats, lower than yours?

also, i IWed it till level 6 and gained Butcher Lv.3, Swift Strike Lv.2, Overpower Lv.1. am i in the right way? what potencies would be the best in this case?

I think it's because: Two-handed 262.00

Potencies... I don't know too much about. I just randomly IW my gear sometimes if I'm in the mood.

Time to go watch the Superbowl now.

i've got this estoc and my domino is stuck at 75%, even though the stats seem similar to those of your mace

CODE

Domino Strike Chance = 40 + (STR + DEX) * 0.02 + 2H / 10
http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Fighting_Styles#Two-Handed

114 STR difference, 105 DEX difference, 78 2H proficiency difference.
That's going to result in a 12.2 Domino Strikes occurrence difference which is about right going from 75% to 88% (depending on rounding).

i IWed it till level 6 and gained Butcher Lv.3, Swift Strike Lv.2, Overpower Lv.1. am i in the right way? what potencies would be the best in this case?

I wouldn't worry too much about what you get given that its only a superior weapon. I'd just get it to level 10 asap so you can get the extra strike and kill faster. Ideally for 2H, you'd probably want Butcher and Overpower (Overpower especially if you're going to play on PFUDOR). And by the time you can really do PFUDOR arena runs well with 2H, you're going to have a better weapon by then.

Generally Butcher is always the best, unless it's gonna be your offhand. Fatality is the solid 2nd. It can become even better if you have high crit chance. Swift Strike is also good if you're wearing light, not so much on heavy (due to burden penalty). Overpower is okay on offhand DW and niten, arguably useful on 2H, and worthless on 1H (since your hit rate is ~100%)

Personally, I reforge whenever I see Overpower in the first 3 level, and swift strike in the first 2, but that's cos I'm 1H heavy

yeah, from that formula it seems that the difference is due primarily to 2H prof, and less but also to stats...

i know that it's only a Sup (moreover 2PABs), but it's the best i can afford right now... if a good drop won't come i think i'd go with it for a long time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

shade/light user here, depending on the mood and if i'm trying to level something. given what you said, what i gained so far isn't so bad then...

I'm planning to buy shade and try for hellfest/SG with 1H/shade. Now I'm split between shadowdancer and arcanist. Shadowdancer can make clearing slightly faster, but Arcanist seems to be good for longer runs (which is the reason I wanna try shade in the first place). Plus it's a bit cheaper. So any recommendation from the experienced shade users?

Another question, when avoidance chance is rolled, which defensive stats have higher priority? Block, Evade, Parry, or Resist? (wishing that Block and Parry are rolled before Evade/Resist (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )

Evade first, Resist last.

Evade first, Resist last.

furthermore it does have a sense: i have to resist to a hit only if i can't evade it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Physical attack: Evade -> Block -> Parry
Magical attack: Evade -> Block -> Resist

Evade has always the highest priority. So you can't counter-attack when you evade first for you're 1H Light.
But 1H/Shade provides really good defense with 50%+ Evade, Block, Parry, Resist.
It could keep you safe in some extremely hazard situation. (like IWBTHfest or PFUDORfest?) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Oh good to know, I reckon I don't need too much Evade then. Arcanist is looking a bit more attractive now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'm trying to finish Hellfest first, then PUFDOR D&D

Are spike shields worth getting? I am deciding between spending my mastery points toward a new major ability slot which will cost 3 points and am going to put Archmage in there or spending it on the augment ability slot.
