QUOTE(Kagoromo @ Feb 17 2014, 20:16)  Tbh I'm ambivalent about your method. Reason is that I can make it to round 500 of Hellfest just facerolling in perma-SS without any pot and only a few times casting Spirit Drain here and there using the Illithid Axe in my sig. If I use rapier I expect to Focus once in a while, but my clear speed doesn't get impacted much at all. Gems are usually enough to refresh my vitals.
You have to try Hellfest at later rounds, that is 600+, to see if it's really effective at clearing thing fast while keeping you safe. My experience with deep Hellfest shows that not being in SS to build up OC and relying on long CD skills is very dangerous because at times, you won't be able to quickly bring down hard-hitting certain monsters.
I'm also only level 290 - I'd need another 40 levels to be able to do that comfortably. When I have time I'll try going into "deep hellfest" and see what happens. That might be the point to change to Spirit Stance of course. Before trying this method my Spirit Stance always used up way more spirit than I had, with more levels that will get easier as my spirit tank increases.

Tell me please about elemental strikes on weapons, is there best or worst one? Is there any meaning to reset IW if lvl 10 elemental strike is not good enough?

@ malkatmp : thanks for the advice ^^ I don't have dual monitor so it seems this method is the way to go.
@ Kagoromo : Thanks a ton for the script. (especially NoPopup one) I was only using mouse melee till now)
Btw are there any more useful scripts for melee such as myself which will make the battles more convenient ?

^skill hotkey. Don't waste ability slots for em. Use same key to activate the chain, depending on highest tier available and it carries across weapon sets.. I also can't live w/o gem icon since I use nopopup too and never check battle logs, and periodically pressing g doesn't cut it for me.
good news, brought my pfudor T&T time under 15 min (enough for 1 infusion) w/ 1h. bad news, still get shit for drops (0 exq, save crappy arena clear bonus)

IMO, dark > holy > 4 elements (electricity > wind > fire = cold ) For most of the weapon < 1M before forge, it is not worth reseting.

the script for showing the gem icon is even larger than my (edited) HV slim including the gem icon and no popup (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) This post has been edited by Colman: Feb 17 2014, 21:07

(thanks for that) the "P" box is useful. Sometimes i run noimage on, and that kills the gem icon too, becoming useless, but the "P" placeholder box stays and blanks out when a gem is there. I really should give mousemelee/spam a try.

Sounds really good, how to change % of low HP alert? Found, really good thing, all in one, don't slow hv much and it feels like HP alert works better then my previous one. Thanks for your work.

QUOTE(holy_demon @ Feb 17 2014, 19:32)  About that, is it true that light and cloth has higher drop chance than heavy? (since cloth and leather can only be salvaged from, whereas metal can be obtained from 1h/2h/heavy)
Well... I don't know exactly, but it makes sense. QUOTE(xcaliber9999 @ Feb 17 2014, 23:07)  If you don't mind but how can you multi task like (watch anime & youtube) while playing HV ? Shouldn't you have to press or click to progress very rounds ?
As Kagoromo said, I'm using Mousemelee, NoPopup, and some other scripts. - HVSTAT Slim : display gem, duration of buffs and debuffs, round counter, and so on - Inline Difficulty Changer : easily change difficulty not visiting setting - Magic Score : calculate magic score of mage - Keybind : use various shortcuts - RiddleLimiter : pass through the riddlemaster by just clicking, not typing a letter This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Feb 17 2014, 21:51

No, you can simply hover everything.

Holy and Dark are the ones to get... Fire is okay, 'cause it works on Undead. I wouldn't think that resetting just for the elemental strike is recommended... especially if you got good things in earlier rounds (like butcher & swift strike).
