that burden is quite normal for a longsword, though it has the side effect to lower your evade chance.
also, i wouldn't bother with IW at your level yet, unless you've great stocks of ptions, have done all arenas and still have very much time to play between two REs

What percent should I have my 2-hand/light armor proficiency at by lvl 150, and in addition to doing Random encounters on IWBTH, what's the best place for me to grind for exp?

Just in case it got missed.

this is my current stat page change to hard to try and level my 1h sword and this is my current loadout it sucks thats why i need the credits

armor prof will raise and eventually catch your level without you need to do anything.
to raise weapon prof you have to (obviously) use that style as much as possible, preferring regular hits over special skills when safe enough. moreover, wiki says this: click

profs = the more = the better (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

exp = arenas.

change back to 1h sword i kill faster with it ( (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) dint notice it was same image)

gosh, not even a full armor set... you have a PM (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

oh, and a question: what's the effect of Platinum Ticket? i read in wiki that it adds 2500 to loot quality and has a tier multiplier of 5x, but are those really that visible of effects?

According to wiki, it has the same value with Noodly Appendage. (LQB +2500, Tier Multiplier x5)

This is going to be a vague question; my apologies in advance.

I leveled from 208 to 209 today. I usually clear second page arenas on Nightmare with ease, using 2 Greater Mana potions on average. I also clear REs on Battletoads fairly easily unless I get 9 or 10, then its tricky but not impossible. After the level up, New Wings - T&T was all losses. I only lost on T&T because I ran out of mana, but that's ridiculous considering how I was doing before the level-up. I feel like I do significantly less damage to monsters I could usually clear in 4 hits.

I haven't changed equipment. I know I was on the same difficult as I usually play. Maybe it's just been bad luck today, but objectively there's no reason I should be doing this little damage with everything else being the same.

Is there some sort of transition level where your stat/level ratio drops so dramatically that monsters become significantly tougher? Does the level scaling that occurs for monsters affect their stats as well?

^ i think some monsters just got "overly" strong, because their owners keep winning the 5th prize in the lottery. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

maybe it's just me, but i've died in the Trio and the tree yesterday. & my Sol seems to proc more often than before.

Yes, I also think this is true. I need 2 SP for TT now; used to be just 1 like a week ago. The mob strength to player strength ratio is quickly becoming unbalanced.

I'm thinking about switching back to being a mage or off-mage after winning THIS in the lottery a little while ago. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Could someone give me a quick rundown of how the mage playstyle works these days? It's been a year and a half since I switched to mele so I don't really know what spells I should be using or how to handle cooldowns.

I think monsters should have their drops quality scaled with their chaos upgrade. So the game isn't less hard for people who want challenge, but the people who can barely kill them won't complain anymore (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

this would be nice, but tbh, the drop rate for good (read: Leg) equips (more armor than weaps) have increased dramatically in the past 6months.

i thought they do, no? or i'm imagining things again?

I could be misremembering, but I think monster PL above a certain level used to give a bonus to loot drop chance, but it was removed some patches ago.

Okay, I've got this: Exquisite Ruby Force Shield of Protection

I've seen a number of Mag Force Shields with less Block sell for over 300k, and shields with more block sell for 1.5m.

Should I bother hoping for a better shield, or just forge this one?

I'm at lvl 93 playing as a fire mage...and have absolutely no idea where to go from here.
My trainings are all incredibly low (started playing HV a few days back), but I'm concentrating most of my efforts on the loot based upgrades.

Should I transit into a frugal phase set? If i was comparing (equally 'good') staffs, is focus, destruction, or sutyr better?

Also, are there are any benefits to the higher difficulties, besides the extra exp? Hell arenas are proving incredibly challenging - some of the player-owned monsters are hitting me for 30-40% of my max health with their special moves; and I usually run out of mana in grindfest really quickly even with careful usage of focus/ether tap.

imo, i'll save up 500k-1mil for a ~Mag range block shield in one of the auctions instead of a Mag quality force shield with 3PAB. forging is still too expensive for me. though, i'll probably have another clearance sale after this weekend & hopefully i've enough to buy something.

if you don't hv max Pack Rat, i'll focus on that first before loot based upgrades.

you should slowly switch from average =>superior=>exq=> mag. also,as i understand it, staffs with matching prefix/suffix is better then destruction.

better loot roll & more exp. also, hv some potions. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
