just curious, is this Exquisite Ethereal Longsword of Balance worth anything? i've seen 2 similar items with lower damage in WTS, one sells for 5k & the other 50k. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ps. is there a point in doing Normal - hellfest without Crystarium1? This post has been edited by malkatmp: Mar 3 2014, 13:56

People look at crit chance and PAB in a balance weapon, and your weapon sucks at both. With the way ED price is rising, no. Heck even with CrysI, you should at least do BTfest

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) thanks. i guess i'll tryout BTfest. though, is there a huge difference between 150 rounds of IWTBHfest vs say 250rounds of BTfest? didn do any hellfest since about 2 weeks now... got bored. (1hand, full set prot power/rapier/tower shild) since hell dont give any drop penalty, even after the stamina change i still would do hell and not anything above, only if you care for better equip drops and better exp (pfudor arena clear from marathons give better equip chances anyway). dont understand why people fret somuch ooohh play higher... to use your stamina more efficient, imo its just silly talk (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) , if you go pure for crystals and arti, then do hell as far you can reach. i try to remember back, got about 40-50k credits (droping + clear bonus) and about same amount credits from trashing equip to bazzar also about 5-10 arti and 2-2,5 pack crystals, after clearing 1 hellfest. (60k C for 2x ed for 1hellfest is not the world for most people (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) what you can easy pay, just from selling 1run the drops (even with not CryIII perk an trainings at max/near max)) with 47 scav 25 lotd 17 qua 7 arch, as you can see i didn even bother myself with maxing my drop trainings. anyway this is obvious talk/opinions from someone who dont care as much anymore for exp or equip drop as he did in the past. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) try your best in a time window what you realy want to spent on and thats allready good enough no?

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Mar 3 2014, 11:15)  Spirit Shield is in autocast for 1H+Heavy, and will be for 2H/DW Shade too
How often u die? on what highest difficulty u pass Trio arena and how much it takes time? Are you using spark with s.shield? so u thinking s.shield is useful before 265/285 level? Maybe if you dont die with s.shield before 285 - u will not die without it on same dif? Even 2 pokemons can kill 100%HP in one turn while using only s.shield < 265 level and for 1 pokemon u must have 61%HP to guarantee yr life atleast for next turn so s.shield can save yr MP & SP but not life, even after level 285 ability up. time spent on passing arena is not as objective as the number of turns is there any turncounters script for the whole arena - not one round? And maybe some script disabling blinking of expiring effects? Teresa of the Faint Smile, i like Ragyo in yr sign ^^

about 3,5-4h to get this deep, anyway it was befor the pfudor speed fix... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) at that time celestias did hit 250sp dmg crits. 6250hp hits or more does it need to reach my sp shild... still not enough to tank most dmg (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) should have skilled sleep at this try, meh... realy needed for mana leeching in this deep rounds.

I don't know anything about melee stuff. It's got the right prefix and suffix, just that the stats are too low. My verdict is Bazaar fodder.

ok, let's try one by one... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) QUOTE(tempasdf @ Mar 3 2014, 14:49)  How often u die?
can't really say how often, but if i want to be almost sure to pass RE i must stop at nintendo level. recently i started to do some IW/low level arenas at IWTBH and had mixed results, mostly due to Memory of Dark Mages pokemons... man, i'm really fed up of them, once i had a round with three of their own, passed that and got killed by random ones the following match because i forgot to cast Cure -.-" gc could start to think to help other players if he has nothing other to do than keeping an army of them... QUOTE(tempasdf @ Mar 3 2014, 14:49)  on what highest difficulty u pass Trio arena and how much it takes time? [...] time spent on passing arena is not as objective as the number of turns
Hard (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) actually, i redo higher arenas only for bonus trophies and other random drops, so not really interested to go very high with difficulty on marathons. it could be around 20 minutes... as for turns, i think about 3-10 with 2H for pokemons (depending on their numbers) and obviously a bit more in the last match, but absolutely no clue... QUOTE(tempasdf @ Mar 3 2014, 14:49)  Are you using spark with s.shield? so u thinking s.shield is useful before 265/285 level? Maybe if you dont die with s.shield before 285 - u will not die without it on same dif? Even 2 pokemons can kill 100%HP in one turn while using only s.shield < 265 level and for 1 pokemon u must have 61%HP to guarantee yr life atleast for next turn so s.shield can save yr MP & SP but not life, even after level 285 ability up.
mixed feelings around Spirit Shield - but i pretty much don't cast SoL anymore. i saw SS do *absolutely* nothing for 80ish turns and an attack of about 150% of my HP just after it faded, thus the decision to pursue IA2 to have it also in Shade mode. i should train also pack rat 2 though... -.-" however i noted that with the boos in HP tank has also a backward effect on the damage taken before SS kick in, so i'm still uncertain whether keep HP tank level 9 or not...

255lvl huh, so all over 30%hp ss triggers, then go ahead lvl to 285 to max ss down to 20% hp trigger, also hp perk 250hath~2,2mio to solve your probs? or use hv stats with hp alerts?
