QUOTE(n125 @ May 9 2015, 04:04)  We've been using wind since before it was cool. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Dude, I think I'm the original Wind mage. Literally no one used Wind until I acquired that staff. I could have gone with either Elec or Wind, and I explicitly picked Wind because no one used it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) I wish people would jump off the bandwagon to something else so that I can buy some cheap upgrades. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) QUOTE(Scremaz @ May 9 2015, 07:06)  alright, but i mean - what's the average evade of a high-level mage (or at least, high enough to worry about dovahkiin title)? is it 1.5 points really that important?
Average? I don't know. Mine is 51.5 with Godslayer and 50.2 with Dovahkiin. But FRD means constant meleeing, which means much slower play, which I don't like. So, I'd rather have an extra 1.3 evade than something I'm not going to use at all. Even if the damage bonus is broken with all the other titles. And I think most people would agree given the real lack of 300+ players around here using the Dovahkiin title. QUOTE(mozilla browser @ May 9 2015, 04:46)  While we're at this, it'd be nice to fix the bug that prevents mages from enjoying all the godslayer perks.
I don't think it will ever happen...

QUOTE(mozilla browser @ May 9 2015, 15:50)  Question for the experts: I'm considering bidding for an item - Is Legendary Charged Phase Gloves of Fenrir significantly better than my Magnificent Charged Phase Gloves of Fenrir? The important stats of EDB and Evade are almost the same, and the prefix'd benefit is kinda worse than mine. Plus the pain of doing IW for juggernaut... If you're planning on Forging, then the Leg is better. Otherwise, the Mag is better. QUOTE(Superlatanium @ May 9 2015, 16:23)  There's a limited number of decent Mag+ gear of each element, which everyone will try to sell, regardless of element. Players can't magically force gear of a certain element to drop, of course, nor would someone bazaar or salvage a well rolled Mag+ - regardless of element. So the supply for high-end gear is quite similar for each element. More demand does not result in more supply being offered if everything that good is kept and sold anyway.
I don't agree. Supply of top notch gears aren't even. While the Market is currently full of high grade Holy pieces, you won't see that many Flame/Cold pieces of similar quality. QUOTE(Superlatanium @ May 9 2015, 16:23)  -snip-
There was a pretty heavy discussion on Action Speed a few months ago. I don't want to the reproduce that. Besides, I'm too lazy right now to dig that shit up.

I'm disappointed. When you said Old Power, I was hoping to see some AGI. :/ QUOTE(Scremaz @ May 9 2015, 17:36)  1. that would be one serious nerf. 1H will still remain a bit playable i guess, but it would be seriously nerfing the last remnants of melee style 2. one serious buff for DW, so not happening (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) 3. you're basically killing 1H. what would be the point in going with a build that can repel ~75% of physical attacks and no magical ones? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Or else: 4. Penetrated Armor does not stack. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) QUOTE(Scremaz @ May 9 2015, 17:36)  1 OC for every successful domino hit wouldn't be too OP (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Didn't thought about that aspect.

He told me that he was a Dark mage. I didn't hear him saying that he was a wind mage. This was back at november/december of last year.

It was worth it though. A peerless tempestuous redwood of destruction/freyr might be better than it now though. IDK, it's hard to calculate effectiveness ever since proficiency bonus was changed from damage to counter-resist. QUOTE(Scremaz @ May 9 2015, 12:47)  now, that's a staff. are you still using it?
Yes. It's how I get away with only using Mag gear. I still need to redo the potencies obviously. Maybe I should do it with 1H before it gets nerfed... This post has been edited by hitokiri84: May 9 2015, 20:47

High-level, well-geared players can go through many hundreds of rounds an hour. Passive stamina regen is often not enough to sustain that, so their only option is to buy energy drinks (if they don't find enough artifacts that have EDs themselves). So, energy drinks go for quite a high price, from the perspective of a new player.

Hello (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I just spend all my credits buy those 3 equipments: Legendary Agile Shade Leggings of NegationLegendary Agile Shade Gauntlets of NegationLegendary Savage Shade Helmet of NegationAnd I want to forge them, but it will cost a lot of credits. So, wich one have to be forge first? And what's the best stats to spend money on to upgrade (evade, resist, PAB,...)? Also: if you do an IW to level 2 and have juggernaut level 2, then you do IW level 3 and have something else, is it possible to have juggernaut level 3 at higher level of IW or you can't have another level of juggernaut? Is juggernaut the first things you have on armor when you do an IW? (I have done only 2 IW on 2 armor, and always have juggernaut first). Is it worth to use an amnesia shard at level 1/2/3/4 if you don't have it? (It take so long an so much stamina in normal) Last question: an elemental katana of slaughter is better than an etheral katana of slaughter once you reach IW lvl 10 or not (because elemental have more base damage so void strike first on ethereal become useless)? ( fiery katana ethereal katana) Thank you for reading (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by tayulog: May 9 2015, 22:05

Why not to use 1h? Forge is quite simply. It gives some increase. It means if gear has high stat than forge it gives high result. F.e. PMI. You legs for me has 8,66% and gauntlets only 6,94%. If forge level gives 10% than its 0,86% and 0,69% and first one gives higher result. But actually there is no big sense to forge stats. Evade is a bit low and wont get much. And maybe resist is already high enough. So i think a bit evade and physical defense is better, but im not very good with light armor.
Its possibly to increase jug later, but be careful, because each level req additional shard. If you wont get it with 4-5th lvl than there is solid chance dont get it very high. Its not big problem, but if rly wanna exactly 5 than its could be high iw level (8+) with wrong enchantments and reset d cost very solid price.
I think ethereal is better because it has no burden which reduce evade. But with better damage rolls.

QUOTE(-anon- @ May 9 2015, 20:02)  Does improved Drain and Faster Drain stack with Spirit/Either Theft? Better Drain is bugged and does nothing. Faster Drain can help. Even without it, if your action speed is fast enough, you'll be able to Drain twice (20 turn CD) on a single proc of Ripened/Burning Soul. But with Faster Drain your action speed can afford to be slower and still use Drain twice (15 turn CD) before the proc expires.

( fiery katana ethereal katana) Negation is a pretty poor suffix... just saying. Shadowdancer is a whole lot better. Negation reduces damage taken from magic attacks, but magic attacks account for only a small proportion of total damage taken - and light armor has very high resist anyway, so I don't think additional resist from Negation is incredibly useful, when it means giving up potential Shadowdancer bonuses (better crit, better evade). Still, for forging, I'd prioritize damage, endurance, and then evade and pmit. Then maybe other PABs and resist. Item world potencies added are random. With 1 type of existing potency, chance of upgrading it is 50%, chance of getting an entirely new one is 50%. With 2 types of existing potencies, chance of upgrading one of them is 75%, chance of getting an entirely new one is 25%. So you might get Jug 1, then Jug 2, then Cap 1, then Jug 3, then Cap 2, then Fireproof 1, then Jug 4. (If you get very very lucky (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) If you want high Jug on armor, which you almost certainly do, then always reforge if the first potency isn't Jug. Also reforge if 3 potencies have been added but Jug is only at level 1 (or 2, depending on how much you're willing to spend for more perfection). That said, avoid IWing unless you can do it in IWBTH, otherwise it takes forever. Better to either not do it at all, or to get someone who runs an item world service to do it for you, while focusing on leveling up instead. (With 1h and level 280+ you should be able to handle IW on your own on IWBTH pretty easily) Prefixed weapons with the same suffix always have the same weapon range. It doesn't matter if something is Ethereal or Hallowed or Fiery - any of them could have higher damage / etc than the others, since the ranges are all the same. But as for your katanas in particular, the fiery one is definitely better due to Mmax+ ADB (after your little forging and IW), compared to the other one's ADB which is very far below even Smax. Still, 2h has very high burden, so Ethereal is strongly preferred in general, otherwise you'll kill your evade. Offensive spell damage is useless for melee. So upgrading Fire Spell Damage doesn't help. (If it were Hallowed, it'd be a different story, but it isn't) QUOTE(nec1986 @ May 9 2015, 20:33)  Should i reforge this one? It takes quite a lot of shards and time to get both Eco 5 and a particular desired potency. Eg. getting Eco 5 + Penetrator 3 or 4, which is generally considered the best combination, could be worth 8m-10m due to how unlikely and difficult it is. Given that your staff isn't astounding, I don't think it's worth it. Just be happy that you'll almost certainly get Eco 5 (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by Superlatanium: May 9 2015, 22:44
