QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ May 5 2014, 10:00)  Uh, about 180x100, according to Scropio-kun. As for the avatar, not a thing I can do about it. Scropio-kun is the one who made the avatar, and I'm not gonna change it until I get a better background or something. More contrast? Not too hard to do, here ya go: [attachembed=41866] By the way, who is Sc ropio? His nickname sounds almost like mine and he makes avatars too? Can I meet such an amazing person?

QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ May 5 2014, 16:42)  Yay for a more convienient keybind... uh, noob question, but how do I use it again...?
Is the Ragnarok worth casting for the Ripened soul and is Faster Drain worth slotting in for Spirit Theft?
Side note: I'm currently raising my AP boost to 100 for 400 AP aviable at Lv300, I even freed up my DW skills for it... and barely enough to up a few depreciating spells...
Theres a guide in the release note (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

QUOTE(malkatmp @ May 5 2014, 14:10)  you're a much braver man than i'm. though, how long does it take you to do 80rds of DwD@PF? also, imo, spirit theft (& maybe OFC) is quite useful.
Not sure, since I went for lunch half-way when I was sure I wouldn't make it. and I don't have OFC. Well, based on Colman's suggestion maybe I can make a script like IF ( 1 monster left AND monster is stunned AND mana <n% AND oc >25% AND mouseover monster) { CAST Focus} Else { Attack} This way I'll be able to bring all spirit potions and not bore myself to death!

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) imo, you should use potions instead of drain. however, even after donating/giving/selling 5-6k mana/health potions, i still hv 4-5 times more health/mana potions than spirit potions.

Mages are always, always short of AP... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) That aside, how much AP does a dedicated melee user need anyways? personally, i'v 88 in AP training. so 413 total. seems like a bit on the low side. didn't hv max training in Spirit pots, because even 1 greater/heroic overflows. though, i'm wondering should i get 9more AP in training for the 2nd lvl of Ragnarok.

QUOTE(holy_demon @ May 5 2014, 14:28)  Wait, what weapon are you using? O.o *Shameless ad* Try SpellSpam. Latest version has hotkey (A,B,C...) for spell profile. It's now pretty much a better, more convenient version of Keybind (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I use the rapier in my signature. No shard and infusion. With holy infusion, EoD become 33 minutes. I do not play that much so there is not much driving force to upgrade my weapon/armor. I know they will be nerf soon anyway. LOL50015 : Just press F when there is one monster left. Getting a few hit is not a problem. Also, It is safer to bring 1-3 MP pots for safety. This post has been edited by Colman: May 5 2014, 10:26

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) A trick is to make profile that mimics default interaction (numpad: Attack, click: Attack, everything else empty, then when you just restore that profile when want to 'disable' the script, without having to hold any key. The tooltip will only pop up whenever you press an alphabet key. Just dont touch them and you wont see it. You cant close it, because Im lazy to write a cleanup function (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

QUOTE(simrock87 @ May 4 2014, 20:03)  Round 75-112 (Double SG Rounds): Try to get a drain going when below 70% SP, Stack PA to 3, wait for drain spirit to finish, OFC, finish off 1 SG asap, then focus for mana. Try to enter the next round with OFC usable Nope, added that in just to highlight the clicks since i tend to linger over buttons before deciding to do something else (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Is that the Arcane Focus. Because if it is I won’t be able to use it. It kicks Heartseeker out and it’s one of the main ones I need to make it throw to the end. BTW what would make this happen. Flying Spaghetti Monster casts Puff of Logic, and hits you for 4367 void damage {(75% resisted)} My Specific Mit’s Void is 0.0

Magical void attack can be still resisted because it's magical attack. Specific mitigation for void is always 0 for everyone. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Physical attack : Evade -> Block -> Parry -> PMI and specific mitigation of the attack type Magical attack : Evade -> Block -> Resist (3x rolls) -> MMI and specific mitigation of the attack type

regular Focus. ie when you've 25% overcharge, select Focus (or press F), you'll gain some mana back. similarly, iirc, 10% for defend to boost your defense & recover some hp.

QUOTE(LOL50015 @ May 5 2014, 08:07)  Okay, I died on the 80th round of my PFUDOR DwD attempt because my spirit shield didn't activate due to low SP. I unknowingly brought just 1 spirit potion and forgot to infuse my weapons.
But I still got 1 more chance for I'm still level 300. Maybe I'll just wait till I get cooler boots before I try again.
How to complete PFU DwD: Assuming that you are using DW light, if you are not I highly recommend getting an exq+ level set of shade (or mag+ set of leather), and any club rapier combo, and getting at least 200 proficiency in each. Use infusions (both holy and dark on both weapons, 3 hours should be enough for unforged exq level gear but put more if you want breaks) Run with ~3 Spirit, 12 Mana (or less spirit if you are comfortable), my first time was with 5 spirit, 10 mana, but I had high level in IA. Ration out your Mana potions (think of using one at round 149, one at 140,130...etc). If you are behind the quota, switch to using focus on single mobs (ie. attack attack stun, focus for 3 rounds, repeat). Start every SG round with a OFC+spirit stance (so make sure you hit the last mob enough) Cast weaken on all SG (you can get away with not casting it on single schoolgirls as the club will keep it stunned 75% of the time, but that will cost you more spirit). You can also use the combo attack (with spirit stance) to nearly one-shot any sg when you have spare OC. Somehow not get bored, and you'll get it. Edit: for some reason I wrote 2h instead of DW This post has been edited by m118w11: May 5 2014, 18:50
