QUOTE(Dead-ed @ Apr 5 2015, 03:27)  You'll start with insufficient oc on the next round that way. Chaining skyfall without stancing is better because niten doesn't gain oc while in stance. Skyfall cd is player-based 10 turns, better to cope with that.
I was talking about using skyfall or using spirit stance. The 10 turn cool down and the five target limit combined are crap. It means you can't clear a 10 monster wave in less than like 20 turns. 10 turn cool down + hitting all targets would be quite viable. Maybe estoc users cried and thats why it and bleed were nerfed so badly. *shrugs*

But spells hit all monsters during that time. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The reduction in 2H range also hit 2H hard. Bleeding is never useful anyway.

Well, I found it in the bazaar and a monster dropped it. Do they have some value ? (don't especially know the value of "of balance" gears, and I'm not using staffs so I can't really say anything about it...)

That wakizashi has some worth. Not too high because maybe it's the most often dropped leg 1H, but not too small either since it's a leg of balance. The balance suffix is to help dual wielder (niten included) to hit with his offhand more often.
The katalox with proficiency suffix is, well, experimental weapon. People usually use damager staff with destruction suffix or elemental damage suffixes. So, it might hold some value if a player wish to find out what full blown proficiency bonus can make to their grinding routine.

(don't especially know the value of "of balance" gears, and I'm not using staffs so I can't really say anything about it...) One of the most important stats for offhand - Parry - is not even Smax. Perhaps that's the reason it was bazzared. It's not bad, just not great - someone looking for a non-Niten offhand to use would probably prefer rapier, and would prefer better parry, and would prefer Hallowed or Ethereal. (I think.) Staff has no suffix, which means a huge loss in EDB, so trash.

The thing to consider is the actual stats of the equip. One could be an Exquisite Rapier of Slaughter worth a million or two with Emax ADB, another could be a Mag Rapier of Slaughter with S - 6 ADB and be worth almost zero. QUOTE(coykili @ Apr 6 2015, 01:21)  How useful is luck of the draw really, im at 12/25 and i seem to be stuck forever getting superior stuff, barely ever anything better Every training (other than Pack Rat) that begins to cost more than 50k is meant to be there as a credit sink, for very high level players (400+ probably). Unless you're one of them and play hours a day every day, probably don't bother; they don't pay off for a very long time. I only have LOTD 8 and I don't see myself getting it any higher for a long time, until I have all the equipment I want.

You need high LotD if you want a decent shot at legendaries and magnificents, but you shouldn't be thinking about it if you can't comfortably play on PFUDOR yet. With that being said, even if you have max LotD and play on the highest difficulty, most of the loot you get will still be superior, and most of the magnificents and legendaries you find will be garbage.

QUOTE(ale137 @ Apr 6 2015, 04:11)  i hope i didnt mess up but it was plate of protection and power armor of slaughter the best choise rigth? If you're 1h, yep, that's the idea. Due to your lowish level, start out with more Plate and only 1-3 Power Slaughter, depending on what difficulty you want to be playing on, and eventually when you decide you have more than enough toughness you can switch out another Plate for Power Slaughter, until all 5 are Power Slaughter (probably between level 240 - 300). As you gain levels, you gain innate defense due to level scaling, so you can switch out defensive equipment for offensive equipment. The only thing to look out for is to make sure you don't get too much burden - if you have more than 70, the more you have, the less your crit chance is. Plate armor has the most burden - try to stay under 80 burden or so (preferably under 70, but that's less possible until you have all Power). Best shield is a Force Shield with high block (hopefully Emax, more if you're rich), of Protection. Force shields have the highest block of all shield types, and block is the most important stat for 1h, so Force Shield is the only real option.
