[X] My Assistant

exactly as i thought. sometimes i think to have high prices but when i feel others' it makes me feel i'm really clearing my stocks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So what do you think, besides the helmet, any of those worth getting? I'm rolling with Fleet atm, but want more crit.

can't say anything about boots, it seems to me that everyone of them miss something...

as for breastplate, probably i'd go for the 50k one due to its better stats (also, i'm a fan of END (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ), and leggings don't seem half bad either... total amount 400k btw

So what do you think, besides the helmet, any of those worth getting? I'm rolling with Fleet atm, but want more crit.

I don't know about you but these are what I want for my IDEAL shade set:

Prefix doesn't matter, preferably if it's Agile.
At least Mag. grade of
Shadowdancer = Arcanist > Fleet > everything else
High ADB > High Evade / High STR-DEX PABs > High Crit. Chance > Agile prefix > everything else
*According to my observation, the price of such shade pieces range from 200k~800k for Mag. and at least 1m for Leg. grade. Still a VERY long way for me to get such a set. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Are you giving up anything from the Fleet in order to acquire that extra crit? If so, I'd recommend that you replace just the pieces that doesn't detract from your overall build. In fact, I'd recommend that you don't replace everything at once, you might be able to find better equipment down the road.

both of you, shadowdancer is the most expensive suffix among shades, so aim for a full exq set to start, grabbing a mag only if you find it for a very low price; holes may be eventually filled with fleet pieces.

as levels pass by and grow enough money, start buy mag pieces, but my two cents is that lv183 is still way too early to have a mag shadowdancer set...

PS: arcanist is surely a jack-of-all, master-of-none category: surely low ITR and high resist is tempting, but checking carefully many fleet have similar resists and more than double evade...

aye-aye, zen-sama is quite right, forgot to tell this...

Yeah, that's something for me to shoot for way further down the line, I just want a reasonable upgrade at the level I'm at, more crit. The below should be reasonable for now, no? Or should I really just save all my credits and stick with what I have now?

Here's my current set:

Helmet

Breastplate

Gauntlet

Leggings

Boots

And here's what I plan on buying for more crit (found some better ones than my previous post):

Helmet 250K

Breastplate 100K

Leggings 50K

Boots 50K

What, your primary hand isn't as awesome as the offhand? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

it's a good club, but if i want to play on BT+ i need my main waki. unless it's schoolgirls, i need the parry + attack speed it gives me otherwise i'm stuck curing every 4 turns. it's pretty embarrassing.

can anyone tell me how useful new arcanist peices are compared to the old ones? i assembled my set just before .78 so i haven't felt like investing in any

Wow really? Your club/rapier DW set in nearly the same as mine and your armor is very close to the = of my own. I clear arena's as DW on PFUDOR fairly easily, seems odd to me you would have issues on BT with that set up.

Is Arcanist gear actually used outside of experimenting with a mage/melee mix? I got a 6 PAB mag piece the other day but I haven't really seen much demand for Arcanist stuff.

it's been awhile but last time i tried PFUDOR T&T with my rapier i got wrecked. that was before i got my current club though. will try again at some point this weekend and post results.

i will say this about my current set though: schoolgirls are a breeze. i once got to round 100 of PFUDOR eternal darkness with no spirit shield thanks to absurd resist (68.6%) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

450k to get about 10 points of crit chance is a good price and you are not giving anything away from the Fleet either.

The new Arcanist can come with up to 6pabs but gives away much of the Resistance the older ones had. It might be a good idea to include a piece or two of the new 6pab Arcanist to enhance/balance the defensive build.

Could that be attributed to the differences in the player levels, you are about 50 levels higher and should have maxed the Light HP & MP bonus.

Alright, that's a green light then.

I'll be purchasing the gear, thanks.

It does not add to your HP,MP,SP per turn, it increases your health regen, mana regen and spirit regen (stats that you already have). All those stats go into effect every 100 ticks (I'm about 80% sure about this), so if your attack/cast speed is high they recover less per *your* turn.

Could that be attributed to the differences in the player levels, you are about 50 levels higher and should have maxed the Light HP & MP bonus.

It certainly could be but I have been doing arena's on IWBTH since pre lvl300 and started doing them PFUDOR as soon as it was added. Back then my gear wasn't as good as it is now(or as good as something's). It could also be attributed to my wanton use of spells like sleep/weaken and imperil to control what hits me when and for how much.

I think it's nice... If I weren't bidding on an upgrade for my helmet, I'd be interested in buying that.

that Legendary Rapier looks awesome. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

though, why didn't you IW it?

Because it's his main and his most powerful equip? Cause I have never IWed any of my best equips...

You know, I once bidded up to six digits for this kind of gear... and I still in for buying it.
As for me, I actually used my Arcanist gear for my DW setup, and I had previously tried it out in a mage setup and it ended up have a higher attack than magic stats. Theoretically this gear is well-suited for a mage knight setup, but such a setup isn't very practical. I even thought of DWing a pair of hallowed rapier on a hallowed phase, but EDB (actually Spell Damage Bonus) don't affect Holy Strike and melee skills. Kinda interested to see a holy-elemental OFC though...

At his level IWTBH IW should be easy. Heck it can be done even with Mace + Heavy and a lot of healing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Though he probably wanted to get a certain potency to level 5, and probably hasn't been able to do so...

I believe it is 50%, but I cannot be sure because I got it long time ago (rainbow aura). BTW, it is useless for mage IMO.

I have a question about quoting others post. When I use quote or quote+ button, only their own content, but not their quoted content is add to my post. Is there any way to also include their quoted content automatically?
