smax-1 edb and mdb on leg radiant?

FYI

You sure? High-PL mobs can reduce your effective Block by 20%. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yep. I had 52,5% very long time and that was fine. Actually i tried hellfest yesterday with 60% block, 66% phys (full slaughter) and die on 850 rounds (probably i could finish it because still had 2 mp pots). But it was very-very close. So looks like protection is more important even with 500-600 less adb.

Probably mostly because its quite rare to activate spirit damage and without it protection gives a bit higher reduction. Or maybe because block is only chance. I mean average can be ok, but if it doesnt proc than we can use cure and if it proc more than needed than we dont get much advantage. Protection works always, so it gives true average reduction.

I posted about this before but I didn't see anyone respond:

As mage, is there anything to do if monsters are hitting harder than Cure can heal / Spark can activate? Eg., high PXP item world, and deep in GF? What I'm experiencing frequently: Imperil x2, Cure, Imperil, T3, Spark/Fullcure, T2, Cure again, T2 (maybe Spark activates again). Even though I'm down lots of spirit, the rest of the round is easy, assuming I don't get lots of unlucky resists and many monsters are still alive. Sometimes I have to Defend to get HP after Spark activates because all cures are on CD, so Spark activates again but at least I don't die - if I started with a high spirit pool. Frequently after I Cure, I take more damage than I've healed.

I don't see forging helping defenses much. A bit more evade and PMI will help, but probably not enough.

Maybe should my conclusion be that I should reliably have enough damage to kill most monsters after T3, else those left alive will inflict serious pain. Though I still take quite a lot of damage even when just using Imperil, which forging/damage perk won't help me with at all.

Any details? For mage, the most reliable method is to further increase your damage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
If you are holy/dark mage, you may want to consider elemental spell.
If you are already elemental..........maybe you can try proficiency build.

Is it good idea to kill few mobs first? Imperil-t3, maybe one more skill and imperil-kill others. It ll reduce a bit incoming damage.

you need real luck lvl same with danixxx to get that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Yeah I know. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Y.E.S.! Even that will do! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If you're looking for the more defense, get the "Eco lv.5 + Spellweaver :v.4" combo on your Staff, and build a full Charged set.

Nope. When you're done with those 1st batch of mobs, the 2nd batch will be ready with their signature attacks to screw you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Swiftness/Shadows/Protection scrolls. If you're already using them, upgrade/forge your gear, buy damage hath perks, or play a lower difficulty. Or if you want to go the really slow route, use Fus Ro Dah and creep your way through every round with ether tap/weaken/whatever.

Yes you do. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

good to know. now, i'd be curious enough to see if you know it as well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Hello. What would be the fastest way to accumulate Haths? It feels like the autocasting slots is an utter necessity starting at levels around 200. Without them, I just can't get through higher arenas at a difficulty higher than Hell.

Do I just need to use up 300k of my precious credits, or is there an easier way to accumulate Hath?

Thank you for your help.

i don't spend many credits on trainings/perks as well, but i have to say that IA1 is pretty cheap for what it offers. also, consider that soon you will hit lv200 and T&T + FSM first clear bonuses alone will be enough to afford 2/3 of total credits needed for that perk.

apart from this, if you don't want to directly use credits you should adopt a server, run H@H or donate money to the admin

Play a lot of rounds on Hell (or higher) GF that you can clear round fast. Use the artifact and get haths. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

he said 'fastest' (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

btw, does GF have a multiplier for artifacts?

No idea, get 1 for around every 120 rounds or so now (Nintendo). Not sure does the difficulty have any effect.

Thank you. I guess the innate arcana is worth the credit investment... I'll try to earn the credit asap and also run grindfest for the artifacts.

Why? Fest without crystal perks is near zero profit.
Its better to level-up (with 1h set), get 300 lvl and farm pf arenas. It gives...200k+ credits each day?

I agree, just do all the arenas.

I'm using elec.

Doesn't proficiency build take even longer to kill, in terms of action speed? Imperil is much quicker to cast than offensive spells, and I think prof/non-Imperil would take too long for monsters to start dying on IWBTH+.

Swiftness/Shadows/Protection scrolls. If you're already using them, upgrade/forge your gear, buy damage hath perks, or play a lower difficulty.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of scrolls. I don't like the idea of spending 100-175 credits every few turns but it's probably the safest option.

Whoaaa, hold your horse...
What kind of equipment do you think will be needed to run all arena on PF?
Or, do you expect us to complete it in 8 hours?

open H@H and become catgirl is the quickest way to get hath (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

IA is good perk especially you are too lazy cast them manually like me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
