QUOTE(Andog @ May 18 2014, 21:49)  Hey all have a Q. Is This good or not? Magnificent Plate Helmet of StoneskinWhen you want to know if an equip is good or not, compare the base stats with corresponding equipment ranges. Not everything is of the same importance though, for instance almost nobody cares about Magical Mitigation (aka MMI) whereas Physical Mitigation (aka PMI) is considered very important for plate. As kawaiikun said, your piece has wrong suffix so PMI is quite low despite being maximum Exquisite range. Unlike what he said, plate can have only 3 PABs so you're all good on that side, and Endurance is almost max Magnificent range, but Strength is kinda low. If you wanna sell it, try putting it on auction with some popular auctioneer, but I wouldn't expect a lot for it since it has wrong suffix and plate doesn't seem to be very sought for atm.

QUOTE(Krakensmash @ May 19 2014, 09:38)  Hi guys, any advice for playing as an ele mage? I am currently 184 and can beat random encounters at battletoads about 60% of the time. What should I be doing to level and get better equips? Got a bunch of stuff from the free shop, but I really have no idea what I should be doing.
Also, how exactly do you beat those bosses in ring of blood with 95% ele res. I tried fighting real life and got my ass kicked, then found pretty much all the bosses after have 95% ele res.

But the problem is that you can't access MagNet yet at your level. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Get yerself some phase armaments of a single element. i.e. if you're fire mage, get all phases with surtr suffix, for ice, nilfheim, thunder will be mjolnir and wind will be freyr. As for these RoB bosses, grind your depreciating prof to 30 by spamming the fastest Weaken you can at your level, then get the fastest and strongest imperil you can have, that is to say, not until Level 310. As for RE's, I can do PFUDOR REs with Spirit Shield+Spark of Life+MP tank+Better Spirit Potions since a few levels back. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) And finally... all this is on 100 Ability Boost and 2 Innate Arcana, bare minimum, preferably IA4 cuz PFUDOR mons are brutal rapers.

At lower levels, 2h owns 1h... especially Mace.
1h really doesn't get good until past level 200.
It is not fast, but you can beat short arenas in higher difficulties to get better exp & loot, focusing mainly in defense

1H also lets you do high difficulty REs at low levels with much lower risk. I think I was doing IWBTH REs at level 130~ with 1H shade setup.

The point of 1H at lower level is to do stuffs at higher difficulty and power level so that you can outscale and out-earn 2H (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Clearing speed is actually not an important matter until you start doing SG and GF. SG requires you to be 200+, and GF needs crys 2 to be profitable, ie. you will have to be somewhat rich first (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by holy_demon: May 19 2014, 05:12

Some people just grind alot to level up. Both mage and melee do not have much different in leveling speed. Some people just use the daily login bonus to level up, me for example. In this case, remember to spam the forum daily. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No, it is not a mistake. People refer to being a mage once you become level 310 because you can cast imperil without waiting 1-2 turns to cast again. I played as a mage from level 100 and I found it no more difficult/simple than playing with any other style. As for leveling, I played on nightmare/hell on the arenas that were available when I was around 180 and gained 2-5 levels a day. Expect the leveling to slow down once you're level 250

Your mileage may vary but anyone who uses mage setup below Level 310 is practically an acolyte due to the cooldown on Imperil really. Well, actually, I'd say it's worse for holy/dark mages due to their high MP cost and holy/dark imperil requirement. QUOTE(darkx @ May 19 2014, 11:44)  No, it is not a mistake.

Expect the leveling to slow down once you're level 250 Ah, yeah... it take me at least a month of hellborn plague of PFUDOR REs to get to Level 280...

Keep in mind, Colman has a gold star, so he has 100% more exp than non-donators, which is why I never manage to catch up with him on level despite him being "inactive" (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Are there any other 1H rapier players who has HV Stats, Tracking and Analysis Tool installed on their computer? While looking through the Battle Stats, I have noticed my PA chance is: Penetrated armor chance: 46.15%. I am using this rapier, which admittedly do not have a very good PA chance or duration. I suppose the PA chance doesn't come from the rapier alone in order to have 46.15% PA actuated but I am curious what kind of number does someone with a rapier that has better PA chance and duration can put up. If you are a 1H rapier user with the HV Stats Tool or something similar would post your PA chance from the Battle Stats along with a link to your rapier, that would be most appreciated.

It's because a critical hit also proc PA. http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Battle#CriticalsIf you have 26% natural critical chance and always use Heartseeker, the final critical chance is about 1 - (1 - 0.26) * (1 - 0.1) = 0.334 = 33.4% so the chance to proc PA with 19% rapier is 1 - (1 - 0.334) * (1 - 0.19) = 0.46054 = About 46%.

Thanks again (and again), Cats Lover. How do I find out my natural crit chance, in the character > stats, my crit chance is shown as being: 37.8% crit chance / +58 % damage.

Your natural crit chance is 37.8% as shown on the character screen. Then your crit chance with Heartseeker will be 1 - (1 - 0.378) * (1 - 0.1) = 44.02% This post has been edited by Cats Lover: May 19 2014, 08:41

If you can always use infusion to get elemental strike, non-prefix can be also good when the weapon's stats are very good (for example: WD mmax.) Of course you should reach 10lv by IW to get void strike. But IMO the rapier is not that worth. Well... the final decision is up to you, though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
