QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Feb 15 2015, 12:46) *

2h is not very good. 1h + shield has around double (or more) the defensive power with block and weapon parry. Even DW has significantly more defensive power due to parry + offhand parry. Very soon you'll start encountering high PL monsters, and defense will become a much more important factor than it is now, and you'll probably have to switch to 1h if you want to be able to keep playing on the difficulty you're used to playing on now.

Proficiency: for instance, if getting to 100 depreciating proficiency would take 4 hours at your current level, it might take only 2.5 or 3 hours if you were level 200 instead. Since Silence isn't absolutely necessary until you start fighting high-difficulty schoolgirl arenas, I would wait until you get to that level to grind Depreciating, since it'll take a significantly less amount of time. Though, if you only want to get the spell so you can play around with it, but aren't concerned with duration, go ahead and get prof to 40 now if you want.

To get the most proficiency for the least amount of time spent, use Spellspam, with the most expensive depreciating spells at the start of the list, with the least expensive at the back. So stuff like Confuse and Sleep and Blind come first (if you have them) and stuff like Weaken and Drain come last. Play in a Crude item world on Normal. (they do much less damage than monsters in the already low-damage Grindfest) If you aren't gaining proficiency at least twice in every 3 turns, switch your equipment to higher interference - heavy armor and DW axe or club for most. You'll be using more mana potions of course, but potion cost is insignificant in comparison to the equivalent credit cost of the time spent, especially when bought from other players. (use those useless Greater mana pots you've been saving - they're perfect for this)


So while at it, I should look for Power Armors and 1H + Force Shield huh

Thanks for clearing it up (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so there's no need to rush the proficiencies (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hmm so it's nope for further play...
Well currently I'm on 2H melee run so it took my interest quite a bit lol but seems like i was wrong
and I'm a little bit confused on what you meant o_O sooo is it wait later or train the proficiency as early as possible?
if it is to train it as early, which way is the best to do it (as in which spell to spam on)


If you really want to play 2H try mace, it may do things easier. But currently there are no reason to play 2H, 1H is super op, even with bad equipment.

What are schoogirls trophies useful for? I have a bunch of them and tried to use them at the shrine, but always got very bad drops in return (nothing higher than Superior).

Should i just sell them?

Anyone able to give some advice, I was playing dual wielding, then I switched to mage for quite a while and had fun but that did almost no damage to strong monsters and was only good for the generic monsters you fight in grindfest or the arena, not the ring of blood. Now I'm switching back to dual wielding but going to keep all the supportive magic. Not sure what stats to change though, does Int and Wisdom affect the supportive magic or does it only increase spell damage becuase if they don't I'll drop them down to 150 ish and boost my dex and strength.

Is a screenshot okay or is there actually a proper way to link to it?

screenshots are scaled to your level so they don't say pretty much anything to us (and it's also a waste of efforts, bts).
hover the gear with the mouse, press 'C' key on your keyboard and copy/paste the link from the popup

switch that waki to offhand (provided you already didn't) and search a rapier of slaughter for main hand. ethereal prefix preferred, but hallowed is a nice choice as well. try to find armors with at least 3 PABs, which means you should search for better gauntlets, leggings and boots

Higher difficulty lets us get a higher crystal drop multiplier and so we use less xp and less time. So, why do people play Grindfest at Hell instead of higher difficulty? (I'm assuming that clearing GF is out of the question. Or even if it were, that the 5k clear bonus is insignificant compared to the time and stamina cost of doing so)

Also, which token is better? A blood token or a chaos token? Currently the market values a blood token at ~ 5k (5 tokens to fight FSM and get a noodly worth 25k). No idea about chaos token.

No idea when this dropped - Is Legendary Zircon Leather Breastplate Of Dampening worth anything?

guess because higher rounds have higher multipliers, and at low difficulties they can be extended indefinitely.

chaos if you train monsters. blood otherwise. and they are worth 6k, btw: stony is slowly re-raising prices (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

C: Sell it

iirc, Void damage is still a bit better than Penetrated Armor (PA). since PA only reduce mitigation by 25% per stack, 3 stacks max or 75% max; and Void avoid (?!) mitigation totally?
