QUOTE(empj83 @ Apr 26 2015, 15:09)  The 1H build I was using to do DwD on Hell was RapierShieldHelmetBodyHandsLegsFeetalright, the problem is undoubtly your gear (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) usually 1H is better paired with heavy power to maximize ADB - protection/warding when you have survivability problems, slaughter at higher levels. shade is viable too, but less effective as for main weapon, rapier of slaughter is a very good choice. ethereal prefix is not mandatory, since they have low BUR, so you can choose between wahtever you manage to find/your preferred prefix; on the other hand, IW10 is quite needed. as for the shield, force are very appreciated for their high block, but kites/bucklers of the barrier may be useful as well because you don't need matrixes to upgrade them lastly, as general suggestions: OFC is a great addition for 1H. not mandatory, but very useful since 1H can provide the needed OC quite quickly. dovahkiin rank allows you to use FRD, which may be nice to have, but still inferior to OFC. and furthermore, you have to throw away 10% output damage granted by Godslayer rank to be able to use it

QUOTE(tetron @ Apr 26 2015, 15:34)  semenovich and obviously a joke, i could never get tired of them (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) QUOTE(tetron @ Apr 26 2015, 15:34)  Ah ha! So THAT is what's going on! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) i guess so, i'm not one of them so i cannot know it for sure (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) but since i know there are a couple of people who likes to collect leg-grades, why should not be also lottery prizes collectors? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(tetron @ Apr 26 2015, 15:36)  Aren't you wondering how he leveled up to Lv.347? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) sure, obviously. but his account is quite old and he's a tristar, so i guess he may have done it with a bit of time and decent dawn bonuses - not my cup of tea, i only see that his build is not enough anymore [edit]: btw, i'm trying a simple IW run @ Nightmare with shade DW / FRD: with Spirit Stance on, it can still be used for quick rounds, while without SS it's pretty much useless (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 26 2015, 15:48

QUOTE(tetron @ Apr 26 2015, 15:51)  You mean to say that Full-Leather was viable at some point in the past??? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) obviously it was. and it's still viable, personally i think that until lv180~200 or whatever you want to consider the threshold to switch to 1H, a newbie can make his way with mace/full leather pretty easily. maybe they wn't be able to play PF, but who cares?

I was a bit busy these past days. And I NEVER GET BORED OF E-HENTAI! Hentaiverse yes, that I get bored of sometimes (Happens from time to time). I have more than enough time to finish all the Arenas daily with ease. My advise: Become a Mage.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Umm...Amm...Omm....Nope, can't remember what Armor I used to reach Lv.200. Only thing I can remember that my primary weapon was a Shortsword, that I IWed myself. (Yep, it was 1H playstyle)

Speaking of IW woes... You are victorious! You gain 1599268 exp Item world cleared! 1,758 turns (0.976 t/s) 30 m 00 s 69,035,054 EXP 1,800 credits 30 m 00 s And it can't get faster because of where in the world I live (West Africa). Anyway, whining aside, I was IW'ing my secondary rapier, got Butcher 2+ Fatality 2, and then this happened. I burst out laughing at the last one. Hopefully this doesn't happen again when I get round to IW my primary rapier.

Hopefully this doesn't happen again when I get round to IW my primary rapier. I get that feeling a lot when I was doing IW for my armors. One example I had was initially, it pops up jug 2 then cap 1 and I was pretty happy... then later on I got some whateverproof and it decides to up that to 4 levels. I just gave up and amnesia it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I usually sell them to the bazaar unless I'm in need of materials.

I just started and don't have any stocks on materials at all... so.. salvaging the equip that gives me mid-grades materials for my main equip and selling the rest is an ok idea, right?
