[X] My Assistant

Soul was a proto-void damage type. Most things had no initial resistance nor weakness to it; off the top of my head, elementals and celestials were weak to it, while mechanoids were resistant. Crystals of Quintessence could be used to increase Soul resistance. Several system monsters were also weak or resistant to it, but I don't remember which ones.

Ethereal weapons (and then later, Astral) used to deal soul damage. There was also a suite of four Soul spells. They used to be based on Forbidden proficiency, but later were moved to the now-defunct Spiritual proficiency, which was solely determined by averaging the player's Divine and Forbidden proficiencies. Soul Reaper was single-target and Soul Harvest was multi-target. Both would proc Ripened Soul, which would restore some SP when monsters with it were struck by a staff. Soul Fire was a single-target spell which would inflict a DoT proc of the same name. Soul Burst was a multi-target spell, which would cause the Soul Fire proc to explode and often deal 6-digit damage.

I would never have imagined someone of the female sex to be enthralled with a stupid game and porn.

I know some (not here), but they're ultra rare, or maybe i'm just too old already.

What is the best equipment set for mage (which suffix or prefix)?

Howdy all.

I'm just getting into the game and trying to set myself up with a playstyle that I can keep using into the 200s, 300s, 400s, etc. I'm 76 now and pulverizing things between Hell and Battletoads depending on the target.

Initially I thought I'd take 2h with light armor and ultimately trade between 2h and DW when I capped my skill so that I could transition to Niten at high levels. Having done a little reading, it sounds like that really isn't a viable strategy.

I read back about a dozen pages and tried to make sense of the flow of conversation, and got the general sense that rapier + shield is better than 2h for the final arena battles due to increased defenses and the penetration proc making a massive difference in damage dealt. Based on everything I've read 1h works best with heavy armor, so it seems I'd be best served to abandon my 2h/light setup and start accumulating mastery and equipment for a 1h/heavy setup now.

Does that sound correct? I'll miss using Domino Strike to hand out 3-round stuns to groups, but if I'm just going to end up frustrated and ineffective later I'd rather make the change early and avoid the annoyance. If I do need to make this switch, how do I compensate for the extra interference of heavy armor + shield and the loss of my mp bonus from Light HP/MP? The number of rounds I can go is already limited entirely by the number of mana pots I can carry, and that'll only get worse in heavy armor, right?

Hey all. Finally hit Lvl 250 a couple days ago, was looking forward to finally nabbing that 1H Block Ability that got unlocked.

So I sink three Ability Points to get the ability... and no change was shown on my Character Stats page, even though I have 210+ in my 1H Proficiency (assuming that the ability gives Block Chance +0.025%, that should give me an extra 5% on top of my base, which is around 34.6%)

Does the bonus block chance simply not show up due to a bug or as an omission, or am I using the wrong formula to determine block chance?

Why mobs has so different attack speed? I checked many 1000-1700 mobs and some of em is much faster. I dont think someone with 1200pl can have 0 swiftness rank.

Does the bonus block chance simply not show up due to a bug or as an omission, or am I using the wrong formula to determine block chance?

Block chance. 1 - (1 - equipment_bonus) * (1 - proficiency_bonus). Its a bit overlap.

Hmm, have you slotted the ability? As long as your stats screen confirms that you are using the one-handed fighting style, you certainly should see some difference with the ability slotted, and without.

are any exquis light armors worth selling with 4 PAB?

Is there even a market for light armor at all or is everyone rocking the rapier + heavy meta game?

I'm saying that 'There's no woman enthralled with stupid game and porn' is incorrect.
You only need to know some women who's into them to negate that statement.

wat?
Just choose one spell style! there are seven to choose from.
Then try to get equipment that match style of your choosing.
If you have money, try get frugal or charged prefix on your armor pieces.

Game meta change with updates. Not always, but there's a good chance.
I've seen dark mage went out of favor, with imperil nerf; and now two-hand style.
Just choose one, then try others when your credit allow it!
This is a game, you have fun and don't be too invested.
Otherwise, you'll rage quit when an update happen to be unfavorable to you.

DW, 2H, 1H, elemental, I've tried them all and I'm not even lvl 300.
(my equipments was never end-game grade tho..)
Nowadays, I stick with Niten for x6, and 1H for x20

My block bonus show up fine. It's just 4%-ish with 270 prof.
Try slotting and check stat page, then unslotting and check stat page again.
In that order at the same tab of your browser.

I suppose chaos upgrade is costly. At 10 token per upgrade you start to specialize.

But sometimes difference is huge. F.e. one mob can have 1.5 attack per turn and another 1.8. Is it rly possible for many 1000-1200 pl range mobs have only few swiftness upgrades?

clear enough. I was just being sarcastic baselessly.

where did you get the tool for identifying mobs' speed?

Ugh, how could i reach 80% extra speed...

Hv stat. I just was clicking defend without stun chance for 100-200 turns (with much lowered amount for buffs, because it has lower action speed amount).

Ah, I found Jon Snow.

I know plenty of women (hot and geeky/nerdy), that have been in game/hobby clubs, and yet I have never met any crazy enough to throw enormous amounts of cash, such as enough to be a catgirl, and many servers worth of toplisting h@h. Do you?

This article might shed some light for you, on males and game addiction:

My point was: StonyCat is most likely male, not female.

Is there a point where additional levels of Capacitor would only provide very marginal gains?

I have enough mana (or sufficiently high mana usage) that a Heroic Mana Potion will pretty much never cause my mana to overflow.

Similarly, I'm not sure whether additional levels of Juggernaut are really useful, since they don't really provide a multiplier over an entire battle series, as compared to mitigations (*proof).

What do you think?

alright, but what does it change 5% difference in general mitigations?

The answer is always PF-GF. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Or...maybe i counted power of protection. With slaughter its much harder.

Yep. Otherwise, Power-Slaughters would have been "Fully-Broken". (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

fascinating.... I would never have imagined someone of the female sex to be enthralled with a stupid game and porn.

I know a few "real" female players here. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

StonyCat never publicly complained about how 'shitty' FoS is, which is commendable, (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) considering 'she' probably threw in hundreds of millions of noodles before 10B buffed it.

He did, once: here. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

That is the cap for stats (happens at 2400 endurance and agility), mainly there for high level monsters (although with everyone having rapiers it doesn't matter).

You can get more than 80% with equipment.

Oops! I totally forgot that it was the cap from stats. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Btw, then what's the final cap? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

You need to bring both PMI and MMI to high value or it is useless.

And why is that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

On the other hand, ADB and Evade can do the job solely.

Evade for Heavy users? Nice idea. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Some people use he/she depended on the avatar. So I should be IT. And 10b is also IT. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So you are a panda, and I am a duck! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

But Tenboro once confirmed that he was a male stripper. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

LMAO (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

is there a public db that I can import from or contribute to?

There was one, but I've forgotten where it is now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

WHOA! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Such Info! Much Good! Many Thanks! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Why mobs has so different attack speed?

Your question can be answered with another question: Why do Giants have so much more HP than Sprites? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Ugh, how could i reach 80% extra speed...

What's your current Attack Speed? I'm curious.

Your question can be answered with another question: Why do Giants have so much more HP than Sprites? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Because they have highest end. I was thinking about it, maybe some hidden agi mechanic, but celestial has awesome amount and did lowest attacks while giant sometimes the highest with only 30 base. So it was...deleted? Looks like only swiftness can affect and i ve never saw high pl with low speed (but i think if someone can feed 1700 pl than he already upgraded him enough with tokens too), but its a bit strange. Ppl rly can ignore chaos upgrade with 1k+ pl?

I also checked chance to use mp/sp attack without haste and its very high on pf. I got 68% mp (average near 1.47 turns with enough mana to use it) and 48-55% chance for sp (not high amount of samples). So it looks like mp attack each average 4.8 turns and sp attack each average 15.3 turns. With haste its probably 1.5x times bigger (mp/sp gain also slows).

There are lots of hidden factors in HV. Don't try to find 'em all. You'll go nuts. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
