Btw, I've been doing IWBTH on a Crude IW and still can't get any coins to show up.
I guess I'm just really unlucky.

QUOTE(malkatmp @ Apr 16 2014, 00:41)  not getting hit is better than getting hit with some damage mitigated.
It depended on how hard the hits. For light hits (<2% HP per hit), no one care. Reg can take care of them. For med hits (~10% per hit) you want to avoid/parry/block for receiving lower damage in average; thus use heals less often. For heavy hits (>20% HP per hit), you may want mitigation for a more stable result and less SP consumption rate. You do not want one-round shoted too often I think. 1H with shield of warding can have all three (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) This post has been edited by Colman: Apr 15 2014, 18:52

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) And is it worth spending money and time to forge&IW it? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Bump. As a DW user, I also want to know about this. I giving up expensive rapier atm. But eventually if i going to use 1h or DW for level 300+, i think i'll need rapier for it PA.

So you have 2.5. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Btw I tot ppl usually go for Shield of Barrier-... Nvm, I guess I know why.

it depends from one DW user to another: someone may prefer balance to have high offhand accuracy, others nimble for the boost in parry... you should first of all try to figure out what you want imo. if you're too lazy to do that, the default scheme is: main hand axe/club of slaughter and offhand: rapier of balance (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(kos9494 @ Apr 15 2014, 02:50)  I remember reading some veterans' posts arguing that once your armors reach certain quality through IW and forging using DW / Mace doesn't matter anymore as your Evade chances are high like fuck. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Yeah, sure... if you've got 20+ evade bindings on almost every piece of armor... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(surted @ Apr 15 2014, 03:13)  need help, im dieing way too fast/often (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) btw whats the best way to get those easter coins? im not getting any (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Need to do Grindfest on Nightmare or tougher difficulty... same with IW. Gonna be tough for your level. If you do the Arenas on Nightmare or tougher and get any duplicate coins, send me a message and I'll arrange a trade for you for the tougher-to-get ones. QUOTE(malkatmp @ Apr 15 2014, 03:46)  maybe it' just me, but i think 10B lower the coin drop rates. on the first day, it's dropping like crazy, today, i'm getting a few artifacts & no coins. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm also willing to trade coins for Precursor Arti's, since I've already turned in my set.

IW, yes. The elemental strike is free anyway. The potency are not that good but they are also free. Forge, accuracy only (for off hand strike chance). Some people also forge parry, but I think if someone need a few more % of parry to survive, he/she should go for 1H until higher level. Or just get a nimble rapier. Buy or not, depended on price.

Magnificient Ethereal Rapier of Balance^The seller was selling it at 1.5m and even after I bargained with him he said that 1.2m was the minimum price he could sell at. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Should I save up for it? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) i'd say no. for that price i'd want *every* stat at MMax level, while that rapier only has Acc and Dmg. 38 base accuracy sure is tempting, but that price is way too high...

Uhm the rapier is pretty decent except for the low PA chance. Hell if it has higher PA chance it could go into the 3m range (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Should I save up for it? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) 600k is my upper limit. You can pay more if you are in hurry. This is not too far away from the weapon you quoted. But it can only go up to 200k. If you do not forge weapon, these two are not very different as off hand weapon.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) You can see its base stat when your mouse pointer is over the its stat. Then compare with the range here.
