QUOTE(colosseum_guy @ Jan 8 2015, 13:49)  IW potencies: level up existing ones rather than give new ones (50% chance when you have one, 75% when you have two) How about three?
You can't get more than 3 since the last patch...

QUOTE(Dan31 @ Jan 8 2015, 13:39)  First, install the Equipment Comparison script. It allows you to compare the stats of an equipment with the maximum values. Use QWERTFB when looking at a piece of equipment for various functions. In particular, W lets you compare the stats with the max values (S = SMax, E = EMax, etc.). I had already installed it before but do not understand how to use it? Can someone explain what does S minus something (like S-0.2) I also see both E-0.1 and S+O.1 (does this mean its 0.1 higher than a "normal" superior but then what does E-0.1 mean? (used "W" on an exquisite quipment) And What do Q and E do? For example this: QUOTE(colosseum_guy @ Jan 8 2015, 11:10)  http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=6d4a2e057d Haven't seen a drop that doesn't look bad for a long time...... I hope I'm right about not throwing it into bazaar? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(djackallstar @ Jan 8 2015, 11:26)  The critical stats of a katana are WD and STR. Unfortunately, It has Smax-6.82 WD and Smax-0.29 STR, so basically it's a Superior-minus disguised as an Exquisite.
When I press W, i see S-1.0 for Strength for the equipment of colosseum guy but djack get Smax-0.29 STR... I don't get it how to use the script... This post has been edited by The Magi: Jan 8 2015, 15:13

LOL Thanks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE(The Magi @ Jan 8 2015, 07:03)  I had already installed it before but do not understand how to use it? Can someone explain what does S minus something (like S-0.2)

And What do Q and E do?
Q: compare level-scaled value, include forge and IW effects. E: compare base value, include forge and IW effects. e.g. Q shows Strength+49.33, E shows Strength+6.00 W displays current values in terms of Emax, Smax, etc. E-0.1 is Emax-0.1 This post has been edited by colosseum_guy: Jan 8 2015, 15:46

I tried using Spirit Theft to compensate for my Bazaar-level defenses (Spirit Shield consuming 1/5th spirit every round), and it works wonders. PFUDOR To Kill A God / Eve of Death is easy now, when before anything over 60 rounds was impossible, especially if there were more than 4 mobs/round. Now I can gain credits/XP significantly more quickly than before. Maybe I can convince myself that this isn't actually a pay-for-servers-to-win game after all (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) I doubt this would work well for anyone under 300 though, since below that you only get level 1 of Ripened Soul ability, cutting the proc chance about in half, meaning significantly more mana consumption per spirit regained.

QUOTE(djackallstar @ Jan 8 2015, 17:33)  Ok i got same value as you now. But does anyone know why this (USE_MULTIPLIER) as TRUE was put in the script in the first place ? Does it have a use?

I am slowly item worlding my shade armor for 1h (my power set is pitiful) and I was wondering on which potency should I focus: Capacitor or Juggernaut I am not considering getting them both at once on any piece. I don't think it's worth it considering the amount of shards and time it would require.
I am leaning to something like 3:2 ratio (Capacitor :Juggernaut). What are your thoughts about this?
And how viable is buckler of barrier for shade 1h? I am now using force shield of deflection for piercing mitigation but that interference together with shade is giving me 141,7% mana cost.

Juggernaut is much more important than Capacitor for 1H. QUOTE I am leaning to something like 3:2 ratio (Capacitor :Juggernaut). What are your thoughts about this?
As long as it have some Juggernaut, that's alright. QUOTE And how viable is buckler of barrier for shade 1h? I am now using force shield of deflection for piercing mitigation but that interference together with shade is giving me 141,7% mana cost. Buckler is useless.

I do well with my buckler. ShieldSo, its better if you can get a mmax bucker of barrier... if not, force is probably better.

I was thinking about my shield. Its not so bad, but at the same time not something special. http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=8406b7bdabSo i wanna increase a bit my block and should i get 20 binds for upgrading this one? Its only Emax block with some decent rolles. At the same time Mmax cost 1-2m and its already quite high price. Or just keep it without upgrade? 44% block looks a bit small even for some IW runs near 60 rounds.

Considering you get 90% mats back when salvaging, you don't loose -that- much. I would say that's a good enough shield to forge. Once you get a better shield, salvage the old one and apply bindings to the new. The only time forging doesn't make sense is when you don't necessarily want to keep the old item forever and its worth a lot by itself. Forging items doesn't necessarily increase the sell value much.. sadly. This post has been edited by jenga201: Jan 9 2015, 01:47

For power slaughter equips, would a good ADB offset poor PABs? Ideally you'd want to have both, but my budget can't afford the better pieces so I'm just going after the leftovers.

personally i can surely lose 20~50 ADB on a piece to have better PABs and overall stats (who can also contribute to ADB, so you won't lose so much). but it's also a matter of tastes

You can pick Power with no END for example, since END is the PAB with the lowest value for Power. And if you do need END, pick some Plate of Protection/Warding with very good END.

There's no major difference between Arthropod and Beast in the monster lab other than base stats, growth, and attack types, right?

50 END means something like 500 HP. it seems worth to lose a bit of firepower to me, especially if you already reached void strike (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Translation: they're the same, except completely different.

And it boosts PMI/MMI as well. We're speaking of someone who has trouble gathering Power pieces in the first place, too. This post has been edited by Dan31: Jan 9 2015, 13:22

500 HP is not significant (if we're talking about lvl300+). You can achieve them with VV, couple of Jag levels. Str/ADB is more important atm, because it's harder to get. You can't get Butcher on your armor, and look at the price of damage perks.
