QUOTE(aukxn @ Mar 21 2014, 08:27)  Hi, I am playing DW style, here is my specs LV: 200 ATK:211 (+90 +3) DEX:227 (+185 +2) AGI:230 (+211 +1) END:200 (+63 +1) INT:100 (+0 +3) WIS:200 (+30 +0)
Duelwield (void/void) (both hand weapons got LV 10 IW) 79% offhand strike
2986 atk base 153.5% hit chance 29.1 crit chance / +66% dmg
50.4% phys migration 43.7% magic migration 36.2% evade chance 62.2% parry chance 55.3% resist chance
As the higher lvl I get, the stronger monsters are and I got difficult with how to build. My initial goal was increase AGI and DEX to increase parry and evade chance. Can someone give me some advice.
Also, does increasing int make my support magic stronger (cure, regen)
More Str, More End. Keep your 4 physical stats about even (not counting equipment/Snowflake bonus). What types of weapons are you using (Rapier, Club, Axe)? A club may help your survivability. For Melee, +Int just adds Spirit Points.

Yes, including FSM. The target must be bleeding, of course.

sadly, I use dagger (that give me a little lower dmg but get a higher parry chance) both of them are legendary though.

Hi, I have searched the forum this time BEFORE asking this question (btw I found nothing): Where can one obtain bindings? Are they just buyable and if not when do they drop? I searched the wiki and all i got was that they do not drop during battles (because in the color chart there wasn't any color with bindings (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) thanks for your help and happy *whateveryouaredoinghere* (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Both weapons are daggers - I am guessing that you have an Ethereal Slaughter dagger as the main and an Ethereal Nimble as your offhand - your burden/interference footprint must be minuscule. Unfortunately, this Slice and Dice set will not work at higher difficulties, you will need either Penetrating Armour from a Rapier or Stun from a Club in order to prevail against higher level mobs at higher difficulties.

just curious, that +66% damage come from big luck with IW or also from shadowdancer set? that evade and those mitigations make me think you have a full shade armor... also, how many 2PABs? This post has been edited by Scremaz: Mar 21 2014, 18:56

yeah, main hand is slaughter (not ethereal though but it got lv 10 IW) and offhand is nimble So how about the stat I should build. Should I still concentrate on Dex and Agi and give Str and End a little care or should I focus more on str and end QUOTE(Scremaz @ Mar 21 2014, 18:42)  just curious, that +66% damage come from big luck with IW or also from shadowdancer set? that evade and those mitigations make me think you have a full shade armor... also, how many 2PABs?
my main hand bonus 4.62% for crit chance and 10% for crit dmg and I got full set of shade but only 2 of those are magnificent, the rest are exquisite my offhand bonus 5.31% for crit chance and 6% for crit dmg it also hase counter-parry though I don't know what it mean This post has been edited by aukxn: Mar 21 2014, 19:41

Niten/power is endgame melee if you want offense, 1H/shade is for full on defense.
Mage is fine with a fully forged staff, kill them before they kill you etc..
Some of you guys have terrible analytical skills.

From the beginning, I'd kept all of my attributes even but advice from this forum thread suggests letting Int lag behind for the melee players. Thus at the present time, 5 of 6 primary attributes are even at 30 levels above my actual Exp level and Int lagging behind 30 levels below. Spirit points may not seem so important at this junction for you but when you are facing off against the SG in the last 3 Arena, it's the one thing that can keep you alive. What is the highest level that you can play for a prolonged time on a consistent basis?

It seem many players in this thread think the extra SP from INT help SoL and SS. In fact, it is not. The SP consumption of SoL and SS is scaled with your base SP. The more base SP you have, the more SP you used. The actual helping perimeter/skill is the SP tank. The only thing that SP from INT can help melee player is the duration of Spirit stance, as it always use 1 SP per turn.

actually, in wiki (and description of the spell) is clearly written that SoL uses 50% of your BASE SP points...

Magnificent Onyx Phase Cap of Freyrmy 4th Mag drop(PF FSM) which is worth more than the other three taken together at bazaar, but is it worth something for other players(auction)?

magic accuracy, PMI, MMI, evade, resist, spell damage and INT seem to vary from Emax to Mmax, other stats so-so... it shouldn't be so bad to sell i think

However, its OC flow sucks, so it'd be only decent for low difficulty run (though don't expect its clear speed to be amazing) . Without a consistent PA, it will be terrible in SG. And with its limited AOE, it's terrible for GF. To top all of this, it lacks defence, so it needs to be coupled with shade or plate to do PFUDOR. It's pretty much in the same position as 2H nowadays, except that 2H gives prof, while niten doesn't, so it's useless to low level as well. If Niten used 2H and 1H prof, it would actually be pretty OP. 2H prof gives parry and 1H prof gives block + counter -> spamming skyward sword all day 1H/shade is a terrible mix. Evade and 1H really don't go well together, at all. This post has been edited by holy_demon: Mar 22 2014, 02:02

you can only reset *all* the slots AP and mastery points paying a certain amount of credits. if i remember correct, that amount is a bit excessive, especially at medium and low levels like yours...

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) though, it's very likely you can get 200+k for that.
