[X] My Assistant

Yeah, sorry I only had a Superior Club of Slaughter on hand...

Something to note... Did you have all your buffs on? Protection, Shadow Veil, Haste & Regen? I don't think you're high enough at 111 to have Heartseeker, but that's an invaluable buff.

Another good thing about Stun, is that it prevents monsters from Parrying/Evading your attacks. It's what makes Sleep such a powerful spell and 1h+Shield a popular combat style.

one thing drake... i noted DW is quite good paired with shade, but what about 2H mace? is it better to pair it with heavy power?

Recently most of the monsters I have fought in the battle have been parrying and evading my attacks a lot of times. Any ideas or tips from the experts here to overcome this problem?

i think you need a stun weapon or more accuracy, but can you post your stats please?
also, some buffs like haste and debuffs like slow can help

I constantly use haste, just wondering if anything could be done in case I can't use it or to find an another way to solve this problem.

And here the stats:

Give me price check on this please.

Between 200 and 500k depending on which auctioneer you choose to sell your equipment through.

I constantly use haste, just wondering if anything could be done in case I can't use it or to find an another way to solve this problem.

if your problem is to have always haste high without having to worry for mana levels, with enough luck to find a bunch of scrolls of swiftness they can grant you the haste effect for 30 turns and with a bonus action speed of 60% while the normal haste gives +50% for 20 turns (30 if casted on channelling and with the ability slotted), plus they are really cheap: only 75C each. their duration cannot be increased by supportive prof though (at my level it means that normal haste can dure about 80 turns)

as i read from wiki you have the choice to either augment your accuracy to contrast monsters' anti-evade (actually i think 117% is a bit low for custom monsters, try to go for 140% little by little) or equip a club weapon (providing you don't have it already); if you can't find an ethereal, try a plain one, the more burden shouldn't have so much effect on a heavy...

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) DW heavy is a really bad idea unless you have full exq+ power of slaughter. that being said, congrats on making it this far with that setup

either switch to 1H + good shield(force is recommended, but any with >30% block will do) or find some good shade armor.

switching to 1H will probably be cheaper; just get yourself some good plate of protection/dampening with shielding prefix if you can find any. i have this shield and these gauntlets if you want them

edit: also, take some points out of agility and put them in endurance; your evade and attack speed aren't going anywhere wearing heavy.

2nd edit: switching to 2H mace is also a good idea. i don't have a decent mace to give you though :/

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) DW heavy is a really bad idea unless you have full exq+ power of slaughter.

so i was right, given the current price of slaughter DW is better paired with shade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

one thing drake... i noted DW is quite good paired with shade, but what about 2H mace? is it better to pair it with heavy power?

I used to do Shade exclusively, but I've found that Power worked better for me. Haven't done DW since around level 150 or so, but I'll be switching to it soon to get my proficiency up.

Recently most of the monsters I have fought in the battle have been parrying and evading my attacks a lot of times. Any ideas or tips from the experts here to overcome this problem?

Sleep spell. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Stun is good too. Though you can get some nice splash damage with Sleep + Mace (2h). Your primary target can't evade or parry (because of sleep) and other monsters nearby get splash damage. With the bonus of random stuns!

isn't sleep a bit mana-eater for a heavy and for being a one-hit spell?

isn't sleep a bit mana-eater for a heavy and for being a one-hit spell?

With Abilities slotted, it hits up to 3 monsters... and, for me at least, it's not that huge a mana-eater. Especially since I use an Illithid Mace. Unless I have to cast 3 or more spells in a row (including a non-channeled Heartseeker), I pretty-much never run out of Mana.

Of course, I pretty-much only use it against FSM, the Trio or when I'm frustrated with 3 or more misses in a row. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well using Haste all the time isn't really a problem for me, I have plenty of mana potions to use as someone recommended me to do it when I posted here weeks ago. Just wondering if anything could be done without using it all the time.

Most of my armor is already Exquisite, and all of them with "of Protection" suffix (also recommended by someone here when I first asked here).

Well I guess changing the armor to Shade would solve this problem? Or perhaps the weapons/play style? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

And well it's not like I'm dying all the time because of this, but it's really annoying to deal with 3-4 misses in a row when I get ready to battle...

you're making me curious about trying a siphon mace...

i think the less radical change is to try a club, and in the case convert to a mace... build an entire shade set from zero isn't so cheap, at least you should buy enough time to bring one piece after another..

Club combined with Rapier just like HV Advice page is recommending them? I have got Axe/Rapier at moment just like the own page is also recommending them.

unfortunately no. you're going to hit that level pretty soon where playing without haste on is suicide, especially at high difficulty. start saving for IA1 so you don't have to waste time recasting it.
for dealing with parry/evade: get a club or mace, raise dex, raise weapon prof. so or use voidseekers.

Club combined with Rapier just like HV Advice page is recommending them?

yes, preferably of balance; rapiers of nimble are shitty unless they're ethereal and have >mmax parry.

imo, your Proficiency is a bit low for your lv. you're almost lv200, but your DW is about half of that & Heavy is 3/4.

like what something has said, switch to 1H rapier slaughter+ force shield (35%+ block) &keep your armor (slowly change it to Power Slaughter) or keep DW & buy a new Shade fleet/shadowdancer set.

Good Luck.

am i on the right track??
