QUOTE(something @ Apr 27 2014, 01:12)  it wasn't a glitch. someone used the item shop bot to buy the phazon that you sold to the bazzar. the system then gave you some of the profits.
(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) there's something with that bot that i still can't understand... QUOTE(Mlee @ Apr 27 2014, 01:22)  Alright thanks, Yeah it all came from the bot giving me monies. Wow had no idea they were worth so much. I didn't think id end up with anything of great value considering Im still under lvl 100.
btw, this also applies for bindings of slaughter or destruction... but actually they are only the 150k+, there are also some 20~50k ones... This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 27 2014, 01:29

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Well it's not quite bad actually coz I believe an 1H heavy with mediocre equipment at your level can't even reach 5k. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) 5495 actually, what's yours at?

71 6 Regen restores 788 points of health. 71 5 Mikuru Asahina casts Mikuru Beam, and hits you for 835 void damage (50% resisted) 71 4 You gain 0.01 points of light armor proficiency. 71 3 Void Strike hits Mikuru Asahina for 1003 void damage. 71 2 Elec Strike hits Mikuru Asahina for 333 elec damage. 71 1 You hit Mikuru Asahina for 1889 void damage.
I thought void damage could not be reduced but it seems it can be resisted though

yep. it's an attack, so it can be mitigated as all other attacks by PMI/MMI

I have some questions regarding enhancing equipments via shards. I'd like to enhance both of my max levelled weapons (DW Light) with Voidseeker and Suffused Aether shards before trying DwD at PFUDOR. I'd guess that Voidseeker won't affect the Void element of either weapon but they should both gain 50% accuracy bonus from whatever base accuracy each possess for the duration of the enhancement, correct?
With the Suffused Aether, I should get 10% Mana conservation and 50% Magic accuracy bonus. Since the effects cannot be stacked, it would be useless to enhance both weapons, and the magic accuracy should mean less chance of my debuffs getting resisted/evaded?
I was thinking about trying DwD at PFUDOR all doped up on Shards but the packet drop issue must be affecting my connection, all RE has been erratic today.

Forever to grind part aside, how much more powerful is a Level 400 compared to Level 300 in HV?

hey there, I've been inactive for a long time, and would love to jump back into the fray for HV... however, there's so many new updates that I'm not even sure what to do with my current char/equips/build... I'm pretty sure my gear is outdated now... My current equips are : exquisite ethereal estoc of slaughter superior shade helmet of the shadowdancer superior shade breastplate of the shadowdancer fine shade gauntlets of the shadowdancer superior shade leggings of the shadowdancer fine shade boots of the shadowdancer they are all lv0, have not been upgraded or leveled at all... my build is more of a light armor 2H warrior who attacks fast and dodges attacks, kinda like a rogue with a big weapon xD i also cast some spells to buff myself during battles, such as protection/haste/shadow veil/spark of life/spirit shield/regen/heartseeker... stats are : str 256 dex 256 agi 256 end 256 int 175 wis 256 i'm quite confused on what i should be working on at the moment, would really appreciate any advice that the experts can provide in this thread, thanks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also, Divine and Forbidden proficiency took me weeks to grind, so I'm a weak little acolyte till... wait, the SP tank? Equiped that, and bam, the pwnage become the pwned, what with I pwned PFUDOR REs on a mage setup three times in a row. This post has been edited by LostLogia4: Apr 27 2014, 07:31

Mikuru Beam is a spell that deals void type damage. void type damage cannot be reduced (i.e. mitigated) because there is no armor that grants mitigation against void type damage. however since Mikuru Beam is a spell so resist still works.

the accuracy buff only works once, so using voidseekers on both will still grant a 50% increase. i assume its the same with aether shards QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 26 2014, 21:32)  Forever to grind part aside, how much more powerful is a Level 400 compared to Level 300 in HV?

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) also, the Highest Bid price in the item bot are pretty good indicators of what are things worth.

Between level 300 and 400 you will get to max your abilites for Heartseeker, Regen, Potions, Tank, and T3 spells, so you'd last slightly longer in runs. Also, since your level scaling is bit better than monster (player scale with armor, proficiency and attributes, whereas monsters only scale with primary attributes), you will kill them slightly faster This post has been edited by holy_demon: Apr 27 2014, 07:52

I still use estoc and it works fine for me. IMO 1H is for Heavy, DW is for Shade, but for Kevlar/Leather 2H in general and estoc in particular are still the best options.

Higher the level , slower the fights . At least it is true for melee over level 300. I think I will switch to mage when I start playing HV again . Hopefully in near future .

-snip-
http://ehwiki.org/wiki/advicestats are fine, keep em level, with int lagging (70%-80% of the others). Get some new gears. For shade you want to aim for exq+ and 4 pabs (primary attribute bonuses) pieces, and for heavy 3 pabs. Shadowdancer is still best shade suffix, but overall stats is more important. Estoc will be difficult if you want to do PFUDOR at your level. Lack of anti-parry really hurts, and until your defense is high enough, you'll have to wear plate > power, or leather > shade, which slows things down too much compared to just using something else. It should be fine for IWBTH and down, but I've never managed to master IWBTH in my unforged shade. If you weren't around for the big abilities patch make sure you take some time to figure it out (make sure you have the abilities actually equipped, not just points put into them). use your chaos tokens, make some monsters, hope for some good bindings and materials. Use your blood tokens; gamble for a good drop, or just fight FSM and get the noodle and sell it for 60k+. If you can find the time, try IWing your weapon at least (or paying for it). Also if your proficiencies are solid, you might as well start diversify a bit and start upping the other weapon/armor proficiencies. Practically all 300+ melees max multi-fighting styles cuz the styles are good/better for different things.

Anybody here can tell how much EXP you can gain on PFUDOR DwD? I'll calculate the rest, so answer away. Preferably with as much data as you could gather.

Too many different variables per person to accurately determine. As for me, I can get 60-80 billion exp per run nowadays.

sir, consider also that you have a helluva estoc (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) however it's good to know, i'm trying to level a few ones, hopefully they will return in shape sooner or later (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
