So, I've been a Dark Mage (with a small sideline in Elec for when my MP starts to run low and need to Ether Tap my way out of trouble) pretty much since Corruption opened to me. And I'm in possession of the following staves:
Magnificent Eth Oak of Heimdall(http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php?eid=41264025&key=8d5edbc753) Exquisite Hallowed Oak of Heimdall (http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php?eid=43127980&key=ccb4249e8f) Mag Temp Katalox of Heimdall (http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php?eid=42576322&key=0293a4c6c3)
Which would be best for my occasional returns to Holy maging (mostly for Noodly farming purposes)?

QUOTE(Invisilurker @ Apr 23 2014, 06:44)  I tried doing 15x difficulty for random encounters, and it worked decently for a while, but then I got virtually one-shotted by some monster doing roughly my HP-pool in damage. Am I just supposed to get better equips to deal with this? Or am I not supposed to do this difficulty at my current level?
*I'm a 1H + shield and light armor dude
You're supposed to use spark of life and spirit shield. If you don't have them yet, then, you're probably not supposed to to it at such difficulty.

Recently, I found Sleep more useful than Silence (if I'm not running >100 rounds). Is anyone here having the same experience too? It might be useless for AoE style like 2H and Mage but for DW it's actually viable. o3o
Casting sleep on some dangerous mobs and focus-killing the weaker ones seems to work very well.

Doesn't work too well for me since I play as a mage... Does anyone find a maxed out Slow to be useful? I've been wondering if it's something good for mages, Silence doesn't work out too well since the normal attacks still hit really hard.

first times that i tried REs at high difficulties and went against 8+ mobs usually i silenced three, slowed another three, weaken two and deal with the others if needed, another turn of those debuffs. every now and then i still use it so well, yes, slow may be actually useful, surely more than magnet at my level (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE(holy_demon @ Apr 23 2014, 00:01)  QUOTE(Invisilurker @ Apr 22 2014, 22:44)  I tried doing 15x difficulty for random encounters, and it worked decently for a while, but then I got virtually one-shotted by some monster doing roughly my HP-pool in damage.

If you don't have them yet, then, you're probably not supposed to to it at such difficulty. as holy_demon pointed out, it's a very difficult task to do with your current resources. you eventually will unlock SoL at level 100, as for now you may still try with scrolls of life, but i think doing at Nintendo/BT at your level would be already enough (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 23 2014, 01:09

For the higher level players. Is it a good idea to balance/even out my primary attributes as it's costing more for just one or continue with mostly on Str, Dex, Agi, Endu and low on Int and Wis.

As a melee I've been keeping all stats equal with the exception of INT which is far behind, but I'm not sure if I shouldn't equalise all my stats in case I feel like maging sometime in the distant future.

Generally, unless you plan on Maging, the only reason to put points in Int is for cheap Spirit Points/Spirit Regen. I keep my 4 physical stats the same, my Wis 25 lower and my Int 25 lower than that. I let my gear decide what my final stats are. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So about armour IW, is it true that holy/dark/cold mitigation are considered the best besides capacitor and juggernaut?

Uhm cold mit isn't exactly the most optimal element since no monster uses cold exclusively holy is good because of celestial, dark is good because of undead and 2 schoolgirls, fire is good because of dragonkin

It's actually Ryouko, but custom monster > SG, since you'll meet them more frequently (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

IMO all 3 of those staffs are terrible for holy mage but if you want to know which one is the least terrible, you're better off using the magic scores script. go look for it in the script thread or in the wiki. Editing this post to avoid doubleposting: Q: What i should do with this failed experimental nimble rapier is: a. keep it as a reminder that nimble rapiers with <mmax parry are not worth it in the long run b. attempt to auction it and hope for the best c. invest as much time, love, and money into it as my main rapier to make it somewhat viable(SS 5, forge the shit out of it, etc) d. other This post has been edited by something: Apr 23 2014, 09:35

So guys, I would like for your opinion on this: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=24ba764c3cSo, its finally DDay for this piece. This is something I've been using for a long time and I want to know if this is something I should IW+Forge and use it for the rest of my life. It's pretty damn average and got only 3 PABs, but the thing that makes me hold on to it is it's mmax evade and mmax agi, which I value a lot. Moreover, I have not seen a mmax evade+agi leggings in the past couple of months that is reasonably priced ( as in not severely inflated by catgirls fighting amongst each other). Plus, it's the 1st Mag I ever got and been with me for at least a hundred levels. Now that I have decided to IW all my gear, there's no more sitting on the fence. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) So I would like all of your input on this before I do anything.

If I had invested so much in it, I would consider it family whether it's a success or failure. And of course, we would never sell family members. b ) Based on how you've been saying it's not very good for the past few days, people would be put off by it. c) You have already concluded that it's a failed experiment, would you doubt your judgement now? d) Loan it out to someone else to restore its pride as an off-hand weapon.

But since you saying that a failure, then I should stay away from any nimble rapier. That said, if it cheap enough, some people including me will still bid on it.
