Do weapon stats increase as player level increases?

I see dmg and pab stats increase a bit compared to a few levels ago.

They do scale with level. But not for long... Patch 0.82 is coming, and it will not be pretty. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

For details on 0.82, read from here.

revamp?
what shall we expect? an overall weakening of all existed gears?

See here:

thanks for the information provided, i learnt a lot from the example!
May i ask what should i look at when i play with 1H+shield?
Can u give some example like the staff one to guide me towards a better way?
Here is my equipments:
Exquisite Wakizashi of Slaughter
Average Kite Shield of Protection
Exquisite Plate Helmet of Dampening
Exquisite Mithril Power Armor of Balance
Exquisite Ruby Plate Gauntlets of Protection
Exquisite Shielding Plate Greaves of Warding
Exquisite Shielding Plate Sabatons of Stoneskin

Now im just finish all the arena at Normal level to get the rewards, is it a right way or i should try with a harder mode to get more rewards? PS: I can handle at least Hell one but take me too long time...

THANKS AGAIN ANYWAY!!

Your links are broken.

Still, without looking at the exact stats: for your weapon, you should aim for a prefixed weapon with a good amount of damage. Waki is good for offhand in DW with high parry / attack speed / accuracy, but it has terrible damage and the Slashing proc is unimportant, so it's not a good choice for main or solo weapon. Once you start playing on higher difficulties and get closer to 200 you might want a rapier (penetrated armor is great against tough enemies), but good rapiers cost a ton. If you don't want to spend a lot or if you're going to keep playing Normal, your best weapon for clear speed would probably be an Ethereal axe/club (high damage but no parry or PA) of Slaughter.

A weapon prefix of "Ethereal" or "Hallowed" or at least something is important because the extra strike will significantly increase your damage.

Block is very important for 1h. A force shield will give you significantly better block as well as less burden (more critical hits).

If you're playing on Normal, you really don't need to worry about Shielding armor because you're not going to die. Power armor will let you clear faster with no increased risk.

Depends what you value and how much you think you might play in the future. If you just play HV for the credits then the few thousand you'll get from arena clear is all you need. If you want to be able to clear more quickly / play higher difficulties / get good equipment drops in the future, then you need experience, and for experience, you should play on whatever difficulty level you can manage now. You'll gain a whole lot more experience per time on Hell or Battletoads or whatever even though each fight takes longer - if you stay on Normal it'll take ages to see any progress.

Now im scared.

you're scared, but it seems to me that almost all goldstars and catgirls posting there are literally wetting themselves (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

But most of them, if not all, have more than just one suitable set of equipment. All i have is my 1H Power Armor Slaughter set. If that get nerfed. Im washed-up. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

me too. funny thing, many people are whining about how this game is too monotone yet addictive and now that this update *may* (*) bring some of them afk, they are whining even more (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

(*) remember, we don't even know exactly what we will have to deal with (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I'm very happy I didn't invest in a few pieces of good gear before seeing that. It sounds like an interesting way to keep the game progressing for those already at a high level, even if those who've spent tens of millions before now will be quite pissed.

Anyone know what sort of timetable there is for HV updates? He says he's working on it, but I only came here recently and don't know if that might mean "maybe a few weeks" or "6 months" or something else.

yup. also, i can't really understand if this situation is good for shoprunners in these days prior the upgrade or not.

nobody knows. one day you wake up, HV is offline, e-hentai says in main page that an update will be available within a few hours and that's all

People are always afraid about the things they dont know and so am i.

Now i really wish i did keep my DW Shade set.

It is done when it is done. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) But i dont think 10bo would say something and would keep us waiting for 6 months. So i guess, a few weeks maybe two months.

All information is subject to change.

yes. that's a normal reaction. but the unknown may also be interesting, maybe thrilling

did you sell it? you did a big mistake, uncle stu. one should always keep a backup set of everything to be prepared for every change.
the fact that i currently play 1H didn't mislead me to sell my DW/2H/shade sets: i still use them to reduce the repair cost of my main set when on lower difficulties i only want to grind tokens. oh, and i also own a backup 1H, tbh (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

right. he never trolled about what he is doing, afaik (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Ideally, use a Hallowed/Ethereal/Demonic Rapier of Slaughter + Force Shield with high block + Power armor set (with maybe a good shielding plate piece with high PMI/MMI/END). Penetrated Armor is just too important for dealing damage. The shield's block is very important as well since it accounts for a large part of your defense. Power armor helps boosting the otherwise weak attack damage of 1H. Get that, and you will clear rounds way faster than now.

Penetrated Armor is just too important for dealing damage.

Even on Normal? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Now im just finish all the arena at Normal level to get the rewards

Well the few part that was worth something, yes. At that time, it seemed to be better to get another LotD.

Dont tell me you play still normal on you level.

to farm tokens i usually play at hard since it would be too long otherwise. oh, and only reason i don't play normal is because i want amnesias (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

showoff is lvl 150, he wouldn't need to play on Normal if he had a good set.

Thanks for the suggestion, i will check the link tmr since i hv no computer right now, although it may not necessary...
I think i better look for a rapier that i can afford(maybe after the new patch release, the price will drop:S)

Dont tell me you play still normal on you level.

showoff apparently prefers to, that's why I was thinking that expensive rapiers might not be a good cost-efficient choice for him.

if he plays at low difficulties maybe a shortsword...
