Hey I just wanna ask.

If you can have a full set of shade which would you prefer? Arcanist or Shadowdancer?

shadowdancer if possible, since the main purpose of shade is to rely on evade. fleet is good as well, since in comparison it only lacks crit chance

a piece arcanist is ok if you want to boost your MP tank and full set only if you want to play as a hybrid mage/warrior, but this game is against hybrids afaik

It's true. Tenboro said he would fix it by reworking titles eventually. It just didnt make it into the mage damage formula originally and never got fixed...

Is that the same for the Evade Bonus of the Titles? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Wow, can't tell if this IW is good or not... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif), pretty lucky though.

it means that you have to slot either ripened soul and spirit theft abilities, just to start.

then cast a forbidden spell (corruption, disintegrate or ragnarok) and there's a chance that it will automatically process also the Ripened Soul effect. when you see one of your targets ripening, then a subsequent cast of drain will give you spirit points; the higher the tier of the forbidden spell, the higher the chance for ripened soul to proc

as for proficiencies, ripened soul unlocks at level 150, but it's not so usable before lv 300
surely you already own corruption and drain, while you need 100 forbidden prof to unlock disintegrate and 200 for ragnarok. the latter is quite a pain in the ass to raise, but also quite worthy

100 forbidden prof to unlock disintegrate and 200 for ragnarok is hell for me....

Not really a question, but i noticed a difficulty peak after going past level 150, is it normal?

Spark of life became quite mandatory.

surely good. now you may start to bid on what the next potency will be (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

it was hell for me too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
hoverplay/spellspam is the way though

Really wanted capacitor..... Might be REALLY godlike lucky to get it....

jug5 is really worth though - if not for you, at least at auctions

[edit]: btw, how important is resist for a shade of fleet piece?

if i need to spam corruption, how to modify the spellspam?

if i need to spam corruption, how to modify the spellspam?

i used hoverplay, so i'll give you instructions for that: when you see a line with

CODE

var Spell_list = ['whatever_spell'];

simply replace the whatever_spell words with Corruption:

CODE

var Spell_list = ['Corruption'];

if i need to spam corruption, how to modify the spellspam?

You can put "corruption" into the correct space in the tool box. no need to edit the script.

To preset "corruption" as the default value.

CODE

spell: {num: "corruption", click: "corruption", mclick: "corruption", rclick: "corruption", hover: "corruption"}

And now for a break, some stupid questions:
Is there a little minority somewhere playing at showing off their renamed weapons?
Are the names appearing from this feature serious, half-serious, or as chaotic as monsters names?
And the thing I should have asked first: does the rename feature even work? (to me it feels like it could get broken for years without anybody noticing)

I've got a question for you TygerTyger and others who uses both melee and mage... (people who can see the difference because they use both style)

Whats better in what ? Like whats best use of Mage and whats best use of Melee...

What i seem to understand though:

-Mage good for arena low diffiulty and Melee good for higher difficulties.
-Start Mage @ level 310 (in general)

But anything else I don't know, thats why I'm asking (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (Like there are other advantages that I don't know of)

Cause I'm trying to build an Elec Mage set (I got some free equips from Yakamoz moon). Need to buy some more equips though but building the set slowly. So I was thinking if it was worth to go for it or stay melee (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

You want an easy game throughout? 1H all the way, I don't really mage just starting to IW my mage sets just in case for future updates.

I can easily 1H all the arenas at PF.

Silence and Imperil are only worth using on bosses / school girls right? not for trash? Seems to miss a lot. Are Silence and Imperil the ONLY detrimental spells worth using or are others worth looking at (weaken, blind, slow, etc).

I ve never used silence. Imperil worth nothing with rapier. Maybe weaken on ROB`s bosses. So i prefer to use cure if mob hited me instead constant spam depr spells. Maybe im wrong.

In my experience, it depends on how you're doing on mana, spirit, if you use Spirit Theft or not, how many potions you have left, and how much mitigation you have - but both Silence can be very useful.

There are a few monsters that are very dangerous to 1h/heavy. Schoolgirls and FSM obviously, but also Sprites and Celestials like

Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi
Ck Eclair
Akroma
Deadly Angel
Ikaros Melan
Evangeline A K Mc Dowell
Mercury Lampe Hime
Deaive
The Song Of Heaven
Celestia Lindwurm
Archangels

Those are the ones I remember, but there are many more. These are probably all PL 1700+ with high chaos upgrades. If their special attack hits me, my 20% spirit shield will take at least 15% of base spirit as absorbed damage. In most situations, that's fine because you have lots of potions in case your spirit runs low, but on long battle series like DwD and longer item worlds, taking that much spirit damage regularly can deplete your potions and kill you (unless your mitigation and HP are super high). So in those situations, I almost always use Silence. It has the mana cost of Cure (for me) every 20ish turns, and regaining the lost spirit via Spirit Theft every 20ish turns could take double or triple the mana of Silence.

Not really a question, but i noticed a difficulty peak after going past level 150, is it normal?

Very normal. Between 150-200 you stop fighting monsters PL 200-400 ish and start seeing those with PL 1000+ regularly.

Once you get to 200, try keeping Spirit Shield active permanently. It's less cumbersome than Spark for avoiding being one-shotted.

Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi

stony's pet, a maxed-PL sprit. this is quite easy to beat, but also quite dangerous since its SP attack is as powerful as FSM' puff of logic, it can burn 130 SP points (20% base) as it was nothing

It's hard to compare the two.
Melee (i.e. 1H) has a lower entrance requirement (exq power slaughter set + decent rapier shield)
pros: not a lot of attention needed (good for half afk grinding)
cons: needs a good network connection(i.e. ping)

Mage has a higher entrance requirement
pros: with prof set you can clear as faster or faster than 1H, and probably as fast as 1H for high difficulties
cons: needs attention

It's hard to compare the two.
Melee (i.e. 1H) has a lower entrance requirement (exq power slaughter set + decent rapier shield) but good gear can be very expensive
pros: not a lot of attention needed (good for half afk grinding)
cons: needs a good network connection(i.e. ping) Same for mage in fact

Mage has a higher level entrance requirement, due to the long CD of T2 and T3 spell at low level. 0 CD imperil is also necessary in tough fight. A full set of Ex holy phase is sufficient to clear T&T at PF if your level is high enough.
pros: with prof set you can clear as faster or faster than 1H, and probably as fast as 1H for high difficulties. No needs attention as well if you choose the right difficulty
cons: Poor defense, so that SoL and/or SS is necessary. Making IA3+ is a must for lazy players.

Make some correction and additional information

Concerning Ping: Unfortunately my internet connection sucks and i have a high Ping... Thats why usually the game lag a bit for me. And its not because I can't afford better connection, its that in my country the better ones are expensive and not worth it for that price. I live on an island/very small country (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (Google: Mauritius)

Anyway thanks guys, I guess i will build a mage set for fun (as a back-up set) and stick to melee for now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
