Does capacitor have a purpose? I see top mages getting capacitor over just Jug 5 + elemental defensies.

Not a mage, but I recently got Effluent Ether Perk (25% max mana). It is quite satisfying to use a potion and not waste any mana; or without risking your buffs dropping off and getting bludgeoned to death in one turn.

A few levels of capacitor should be good.
I normally use MP pot when Mp @ ~20%. When a few MP gems appear during those 20 turns, my mp will overflow. Have a few level of capacitor can save some mp. I still prefer jug over cap btw.

I have near 500 s-m grafe staffs. Some tips how to filter it?

Oak with high holy and dark for willow? Redwood with high elem prof? What about katalox? Also look for edb suff and mdb for destruction? Its so complicated. D be nice to read some small advices like in this post, but mostly in few words what is rly important for each.

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.

VV isn't so cheap, and i tried some times to get jag on an armor without being able to do it. 50 END -> 500 HP at my level may actually mean 3 or 4 levels of juggernaut (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Planning on either getting that or IA4 next, though I'd just use it on spark of life anyways...

I use it when I have 300 and I need to regen, since my IA would run out. and it still bring me to surplus with the regen.

Translation: they're the same, except completely different. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well, I mean, an Arthropod with piercing damage and a Beast with piercing damage are the same other than Arthropod being a bit tankier and Beast having more accuracy, right?

i'd go for arthropods if i really had to choose. they are tankier and can also deal crushing attacks if needed. i guess beasts may be good too, but only at quite high levels

All races are same if they cannot participate in fight frequently. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And Demon Duality worth 8xVV while having lesser effect.

so you don't suggest me to buy DD should i ever have the funds to do it, roger that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

"Not a mage" lately 9 times out of 10 means 1H/heavy so I'll assume it's your case, too... I'm a 2H/shade without the EE perk and I can use Heroic Mana Pots when I'm under 10% MP without wasting mana.

I've got 520ish WIS and 1916 mana, I'm curious about your WIS score and mana pool to get things in perspective.

we are at similar level but your MP pool is quite high, even with the slotted ability. one of my set is full shade of the fleet, 390 WIS and 1426 MP with the ability better HP/MP (even the useless last level).
how many arcanist pieces/capacitor levels?

Zero Capacitor levels, full Arcanist.

I've got a full Fleet set, too, with 390ish WIS and 1637 mana pool.

Equipped set aside, I feel my base WIS is a bit low being about 30 points behind my physical stats. I think I'll raise it in the near future.

yup. actually i'm raising all my stats almost even (except INT) in 1H build too, so i don't see any particular reason for not doing it in shade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

you got rr right?

Hello mages. I don't have Radiant equips, but I'm not opposed to buying them.

Which staff's base stats is betterest?

I am finally back to around 1,000 Hath worth of Hath and credits and am trying to choose between the 1K Hath perks or continuing to save for Daemon Duality . As a Dark / Holy casual player, should I: 1) get IA V; 2) get one of the 1K Mage prof perks; or 3) wait for the damage booster.

As it stands my base proficiencies are at or near max and I have upper mid-range / lower upper range gear.

Beside Holy and Dark, which would be the nextbest Elemental Strike for an Ethereal Weapon?
And which the best combination for Club/Rapier?

Not a mage either but:
- for offensive stats, just compare them using the magic score script (higher=better, you'd have to equip them both)
- I can tell you staff's WIS parameter is a little low...

nice IW btw, I'm trying my luck on this one but I can't seem to get eco on it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I's say any strike that goes well with your spikes. The consortium is to say that fire is shittier than the rest (I don't believe it since my rapier seems to work pretty fine).
Combination would be ethereal club of slaughter+ ethereal/hallowed rapier of balance/nimble (hallowed for cure bonus, balance for 100% offhand strike, nimble for more defense)
