QUOTE(showoff @ Mar 3 2015, 05:26)  How "Innate Arcana I" works?
Is it means the skill which selected will be cast with no round but only MP cost above 10% MP?
It is automatically cast at the beginning of battle and has no cast time. There is an upkeep cost which is deducted from your mana every turn that the spell is active. When mana drops below 10% the spell will expire but will be automatically recast when your mana is at least 25%.

Yep. Thats mostly why ppl advise to get it. It has chance to increase prof each turn instead once per cast. Its also useful for high-lvl players in long runs, specially with 4-5 rank.

How about the cost? MP will round up/down/exactly the same?

I think that HP, MP, etc. are handled internally as fractions... at least 2 decimal places of precision. It's just displayed as a whole number.

what should i do with ~ 1000 hath?
U/g to a gold star? Get a hath perk? Improve my equipment? Eg, an Lmax block force shield + other stuff would come in handy.

QUOTE(CrimsonClown @ Mar 3 2015, 12:40)  Since I'm already here and I'm soon reaching or going past 100, I might as well take the chance to post my stats and gears.
if you want to go on with DW, i don't see anything wrong. 1H + power can wait, start to switch around lv150. maybe go for an estoc of slaughter if you manage to find it, or add some damage to the one you already own via forge/IW QUOTE(maaw @ Mar 3 2015, 13:22)  1. I feel like i got the worst potency(Main weapon Fatality, see below), should I buy and use an amnesia shard?
I would foremost want Swift Strike secondly Butcher distant third Overpower and last Fatality. 2. Is my thinking right here or am I totally lost in what is best in general and/or for me?
3. For an offhand weapon should the prioritizing in potencies be different, not just for my specific weapon, but more in general?
4. And what is the most levels you can get in one potency is it possible (but very unlikely) to get lvl 10 in a single potency type?
5. And also is there a cap to attack speed, can you get over 100% with equipment, abilities and a haste scroll for example?
1. potency is good, weapons not. keep only one waki (nimble, i'd say) as offhand and pick a rapier of slaughter as main hand. or club of slaughter + rapier of balance/nimble 2. afaik almost everything is good for DW, except butcher for offhand and overpower for club-including styles 3. a offhand weapon sees its damage halved, so everything apart butcher is good. if you have a club as one of those two weapons overpower is useless as well 4. maximum lv5 for every potency. somewhen in the past it was possible to reach lv6, but it was a bug 5. it's not possible to reach 100%. but still, with max Haste and that bonus you should reach a very nice bonus

Get the Gold star. The sooner you get it the sooner it can start paying for itself.

How does one go about doing that? On another note, I've been getting an awful lot of prefix-less Magnificents lately, the majority of them Leather/Shade. Is that happening to anyone else?

there are certain people that accept credits to donate bitcoins in your stead. actually, a gold star costs about 25M, a silver star 12M or so and a bronze star 5M.

With Light armor you'll have some attack speed bonuses, and lower burden, so having Agility in the ballpark of your other non-Intel stats is useful. Either spend hath at https://e-hentai.org/hathperks.phpor trade it for credits and use those credits to buy Pack Rat and equipment. If you use a lot of Leather instead of Shade that's fine, Leather is a lot cheaper (oversupply of Mag/Leg leather) and is less vulnurable to Piercing - at your level you can't count on (Shade) Evade much.

That means i'll be spending stats on everything but Intelligence. This switch to Light is only temporary, anyways, since its what you(Superlat) recommended till i reached a higher level. This post has been edited by DoctorDove: Mar 3 2015, 23:06

note that less or more half of your burden is given by the mace. can you post the link? QUOTE(CapableScoutMan @ Mar 3 2015, 21:20)  The only Shadowdancer one I got was this. maybe with some shade revamp it may sell for a decent price... This post has been edited by Scremaz: Mar 4 2015, 00:42

Yeah, i noticed. Its because of the Shade Armor. I can't seem to find a mace higher than Superior tough, so it seems like it'll be staying that way. Also, don't actually know how to link equipment.

as latanium said, at low levels you have survivability problems since stats aren't so high, so you should rely on leather (possibly of protection, since the vast majority of the incoming attacks are physical). shade are for higher levels, when stats are high enough to allow you to sacrifice a bit of mitigations to raise your ADB. search for 4PABs exquisite leather (nowadays they are almost if not completely free) here or here (shameless autoadvertise mode on (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ). also, that mace has high BUR but isn't anything special, especially since it lacks an elemental strike. for better results replace it with either an ethereal one (possibly of slaughter) or another prefixed one (maybe hallowed)

That's all right - due to the exponential curve of attribute costs, it'll probably only take a day or two after you leave light armor for Agi to drop back down to around Intel. Sent you an ok-ish ethereal estoc I'm not using, it should be good enough until you drop 2h. Your armor should always have at least Str and End. Without End, your health could be only around half what it would be otherwise (extremely important), and without Str, you're giving up a significant chunk of damage potential. Preferably, get Leather with all 4 PABs, probably of Protection.
