QUOTE(zotnios @ Apr 3 2014, 09:36)  Does haste really makes a difference? Where do we see our speed and speed of monsters?
Action speed is basically the best defensive stats you can get. Not only monsters attack 25% less often (so it's basically like a 25% mitigation), they also regain MP/SP 25% less often (so they use special attack 25% less frequently), and your buffs last 25% longer.

So in a turn based system this means every once in a while (ratio player / monster speed) the monster skip his turn? If everything has the same speed approximately, this happens every 4 turns... I never noticed that, and I always use Haste already.

(Let's say both you and the monster do not have additional attack speed) Attack sequence without Haste You - Monster - You - Monster - You - Monster - You - Monster - ... Attack sequence with Haste (50%) You - Monster - You - Monster - You - You - Monster - You - Monster - You - ...

Naw... Start the first Arena on Normal difficulty. Cast Weaken. Cast Protection. Cast Shadow Veil. Cast Weaken. Use Scan. Attack. Cast Weaken. Use Mana Potion (if you're running low on Mana). Use Scan. Cast Weaken. Continue to do this... only attack very rarely. If you get above 25% Overcharge, use Focus to get some mana back. When doing anything... Cast Weaken at the beginning of the round. These two things will very quickly raise your skill.

What does Legendary Arcanist Shade go for? LMAX ADB, 6 PABs, and a few other L/MMAX stats. I can't find a comparable in recent past auctions, so...

Unknown.... Haven't really seen any Lmax arcanist shade of the new variety. What piece? helmet, leggings, etc? I would price it high initially, bc new patch might make arcanist hot shit. What I can't understand is that your power slaughter is priced at 25m, but it isn't sold, while the auction one is very similar, but at 25m already..... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I would consider buying yours, but I'm looking for gauntlets.... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Maybe I'm just not advertising my power slaughter leggings well enough. I haven't bumped my store thread yet since I'm still working on adding things to it. It's going slowly because I'm too lazy.

QUOTE(Mikey_Mike @ Apr 3 2014, 05:55)  General help Quick edit: So poor :/
First you should switch to 1H because it is better, or at least get an exq [any element] estoc of slaughter. The goal of melee is to get strong enough that ~99% of the time, you regen spell covers all healing. So that means you want to stack defense as much as possible. Getting exq+ plate of protection armor will help. Try to do this until you reach the higher difficulties (at least make hell easy) then you can choose to get more damage and play carefully (using power armor), or what I prefer: get expensive plate, upgrade it, then play brain off.

Isn't it a bit late with my one handed proficiency being so low? And kind of hard with so little credits to get anything good, and sometimes I need to save credits to download, you know what. This post has been edited by Mikey_Mike: Apr 3 2014, 09:57

switching to 1H might be your best bet. finding some good plate of protection and a decent shield(anything with >27 base block chance will do for now till you get money) to use with your axe shouldn't be that hard. if you're lucky you can find some (much better) cheap power armor around too. also, for reference: QUOTE(something @ Mar 28 2014, 18:58)  DW heavy is suicide

QUOTE(Mikey_Mike @ Apr 3 2014, 03:58)  the tower shield is fine for now i suppose but ideally you want to find a shield with about as much block as this one or better. force shields have the highest amount of block but they can get kind of expensive. The game has changed alot in a year. DW is still good(i still use it) but 1H is easier to run at high difficulty. Estocs went the way of the dodo bird.

That's perfect for now. As for the power armor, eventually at around level 250 but not this instant. right now you don't have enough PMI/MMI/block to use full power of anything. plate of protection (with shielding prefix if you can find any) will keep you alive. when you are ready to change over, start with one piece at a time. as far as which to choose: slaughter~balance>protection>>>>>>warding ^someone correct me if i'm wrong on that. i'm not an expert on power armor.

Slaughter >>> anything let me elaborate... Slaughter more than doubles each piece of power armors' ADB. A minor increase in crit via balance armor won't even be close to doubling your damage. So you load up on Slaughter, and if need be, pack on some Plate of Protection. This was the generally the best way to play 2H. But 2H is so terrible, no one wants plate of protection anymore. If Tenboro wants ' of Balance' to be better, I think crit% it should be additive, not multiplicative. This post has been edited by treesloth16: Apr 3 2014, 10:42
