I originally started with DW, but didn't like it much.
I swapped to 1H early on and retained the light armor, figuring that stacking evade on top of block/parry/resist should make me more or less immortal. I hoped attack speed would serve triple duty by keeping Overwhelming Strikes up, generating more counterattacks by inserting more player turns between enemy attacks, and just plain improving DPS. It's also why i'm mainhanding a wakizashi at the moment rather than a rapier - looking at the combat formulas, it looks like vastly more damage comes from your base stats + proficiency rather than the weapon itself. This was all before I learned about power-type heavy armor, though.
But man, my proficiency is so bad in everything (been using light armor since day 1, and it's 50 levels below cap) that I feel like I'm locked into the choices I made.
1. DW/2H are good styles to start because 1H at low profs isn't good: it needs 200 prof to be ued at its fully extent, but you still have to reach lv200 in some ways. btw, DW can be still used later on (albeit it's not as berserk as 1H) at some extent, while 2H not: there exist some lv360-or-so DW players, but the highest 2H should be stuck at lv150 or so, i guess
2. 1H heavily relies on block/parry for counter-attacks and evade cut the number of hits taken, so the number of counters as well: it can help your survivability, but it also will slower your clear time. and wakis are a good choice for mainhand, switch to a rapier - if you already didn't
3. your profs are low because your level up speed is too high, but it's common at high levels. probably you won't be able to max a single prof until lv200~250, but there's nothing wrong on it.

I got one rank of it and have noticed a difference, it's pretty nice. I got tired of not having or even being close to rank 2 spells. Grinding proficiencies with full magic interference gear was not helping me at all. Probably won't buy any more though as 100k seems pricy atm. I'm not looking forward to Depreciative spell grinding as I don't even use it usually. Do people buy ranks in Weaken cd reduction to grind it or something? Every 3 turns is annoying, and the other Depreciative spells are pricy.
Doesn't the price and cost/time of Assimilator seem a bit weird? It's the kind of thing you'd want as early as Adept Learning to get any use out of it really. Seems like it should be similar to AL so people can grab a few ranks of it early.
1. i got one rank of assimilator by mistake and i'd want my 50k back! (IMG:[

afaik, it's only useful for mages who want to max staff prof on affordable times
2. yes, depr prof is commonly trained by spamming 0-cd weaken

Posting my abilities screenshots and asking for advices and suggestions, thanks as always everyone that's been helping out.
I haven't been using deprecating spells and since I now have access to Imperil I'm wondering if I should use it. I'm not really sure because at my current level deprecating spells don't hit a lot of target at once and I'm thinking casting each on for each target costs too much mana and wastes some turns.
Also, heartseeker is available to me now and I would like to know how often should I use it. Should I always keep it on or it depends on situations when I need it since mana cost is quite high, it's about 140+?
if you unlocked silence it's nice to have it. imperil only on high-HP mobs
as you already noted, heartseeker is quite expensive, yet more effective, so cast it whenever you have a channeling effect. if you really *have* to cast it without channeling, at least do it in spirit stance
