1h can clear pfudorfest, never heard that mage did.

Mage can clear PF-fest. iirc, a few top mage can clear PF-fest <30mins/1000rds with tons of scrolls/infusions. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

though, imo, unless you're above lvl400 or can easily swing a 20+mil for top gear & forging. you should 1H in the current patch.

pfudorfest?

So...based on your conversation, does this mean that dual-wielding and Ninten is truly useless at higher levels? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Not exactly, it's just that it costs much to be good at those levels.

When December comes, I won't be surprised if there is great weeping and gnashing of teeth from 1Hers due to "rebalancing".

Curious question to the experts, when you fight, do you target the highest lvl enemy first or lowest?

No time to seek who's who. Just grind from first mob to last mob as 1H melee. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Assuming you r melee, do you go full buffs first? or do you kill some monsters first then buff up gradually? Just curious on how everyone pick their targets (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Only Regen and Heartseeker should be manually casted due to IA.
At first round, I usually attack 3~4 times to gain 50 overcharge to make spirit stance on before using Regen and Heartseeker.

Dual-wielding can clear School Girls arena @PF as fast as 1H. Some DW users even argue it's slightly faster than 1h given the same budget. the added bonus is Shade & DW stuff is relatively cheap compared to Power Slaughter/Force Shield/Rapier. also, shade is relatively cheap to forge. however, outside SG, DW is slower on other arenas, grindfest and item world.

Ninten can be quite Fun. however, it just requires too much "work" to make it somewhat worthwhile. ie separately grinding 2 different proficiency which means you'll have at least 3 decent sets (DW, 2H & Ninten), Legendary stuff with somewhat heavily forged plate/power stuff, etc.

Remember to cast Regen, Protect, Haste (if no IA) first. The chance for Spark is high enough for Heartseeker's ridiculous mana cost. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You do not really need to see the monsters' name. In extreme case, you do not even need to look at the screen. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
All monsters die before you can focus on their name.

Get IA3+, then you only need to cast

1. melee: Heartseeker + regen
2. mage: AF + regen + SoL/Spirit shield

I normally cast at the beginning of battle. MP is not a problem anyway.
If you get one-shot when casting buff, I think you should consider raising your defense or lowering the difficulty.

interesting. remember me not to bid against you in this week's auctions (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I have retired so my total budget is fix. If I bid high on one item, it means I need to give up on everything else.
BTW, do not trust the displayed credits too much. People can quickly sell stuff to rise 10m+ fund in a few hours.

It's one thing if 1H going to be nerfed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) , but I'm curious to what kind of buffs 2H and DW going to get if they want to "balance" things with 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

From past experience, if 1h is nerfed, all the existing DW/2H/Niten will not be buffed, even relatively. People need to look for new drops. So.......
See the current 1H style need to depended on force shield. Only the very top tower shield can still remain useful in the last few patchs.

Some kind of faster Overcharge gain and a way to overcome monster's parry on PFUDOR.

Should i max one monster or create many of em? Atm i have one with 65 power

Grindfest @ Pfudor difficulty.

now i heard. Thanks.
Yet can't grind much to afford good 1h set, just toying with prefixless rapier & diving in debt :/

Then all hope is lost.
Let's pray till 10b brought armageddom to 1H.
Amen.

usually i go from the number 1 to 2, 3... except when i see some dangerous celestials, in which case i try to kill them first.

haste and protection on IA, so i grow 150 OC to cast regen (also heartseeker if i gain a channeling) and spirit shield if on high difficulties

Is a "unique artifact" different from a Precursor Artifact? Like, when shrined, a unique one gives more Hath, or gives more chance of getting a stat bonus, something like that.
And about a "unique trophy", what are its loot quality bonus and tier multiplier? Better than Noodly Appendage or Platinum Ticket?

Yes, they have an unique name and you can only get them during that specific year's event.

Artifacts, if I remember correctly, usually Easter artifacts give less hath, but they have more chance of getting a stat bonus.
I've never shrined a Christmas artifact, as collectors are willing to pay good for them if you wait long enough. So, I dunno about those.

Trophies. The loot quality bonus and tier multiplier for almost everyone of them are unknown. According to the wiki the "Crystalline Galanthus" trophy (given in 2013 Easter) have a x10 Tier Multiplier (Platinum tickets and Noodlies have 5x)
So, I guess most of this special trophies are at least as good as a Platinum Ticket.

You can see most of the artifacts and trophies given in the Easter and Christmas events, along with trophies gotten by awards here: Obsolete Items

Use HVstat or HVstat slim.
You can find the link in the wiki page.

I use my version of HVstat slim BTW.
