I can just mow through mobs like butter and not spam cure but maybe 1/4 as much as 2H Estoc/Shade. Whoa, just looking at the stats alone make me dawwed in awe. The damage in really high, but the estoc being able to overpower is really makes quite a difference. QUOTE(dnbdave @ Apr 27 2014, 19:20)  Yes, I know this is due to low prof in 2H and light armor. No, I dunno if I have the patience to play low level and up it to where it should be for buttery smooth play like with my primary set. Still waffling. Mmmm... waffles. Gonna go get me some since it's breakfast time here now. You know, it's nighttime here at my home. As for my dinner, welp, nothing worth mentioning.

Well a part of the problem comes from the unforged shade, 10-20 upgrades would do the trick in greatly increasing your survivability.

QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 27 2014, 11:23)  10b had nerfed the estoc to death in the wake of PFUDOR, if you're still on melee then I would suggest either 1H or DW, but since I'm a mage I'm no expert in either of them...
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.
well, i was alternating between 2h mace and 2h estoc for the stuns and penetrating procs... is it better to be a mage now ? O_o QUOTE(etothex @ Apr 27 2014, 14:55)  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. what new gears do u think i should go for ? i really like the shadowdancer suffix, thats why i went for them, but since my gears are only "superior" and "fine" tiers, i doubt they are of any use for my current level... furthermore, i'm not sure of the market price for a decent set of equips at the moment... anyone care to share some findings with me ? also, how long does it take to do itemworld and how much will it roughly cost for someone to level it for me ?

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Dual wielding 80.34 Light armor 174.02 Light armor is my second highest prof, after Supportive prof at 177.14, thanks to all the PFUDOR RE's I've gone through in DW setup. The lack of stat must've come from not spending enough Ability Points into DW and light armor prof aside from more DW damage, DW crit and HP/MP I think.

Dunno it depends on your level, gear and perks but 10-20 phazons on each piece would give you the best return and should be enough.

mages are always a bit OP. then probably 1H. though 2H+shade is pretty safe.

furthermore, i'm not sure of the market price for a decent set of equips at the moment... anyone care to share some findings with me ? though, Exq or Mag (non-shadowdancer) might have better stats than the items you currently have. you can get a general idea from viewing pass auction prices here & here. there's still 20mins left in THIS AUCTIONQUOTE also, how long does it take to do itemworld and how much will it roughly cost for someone to level it for me ?
really depends your gear & the item you want to IW. generally, 20-25c/pxp.
