If clearing PFUDOR-RE is your target, you can safely do that with 1H+Shade/Leather. No matter what your level is, it's the safest build right now.
I believe this is true to some extent, but low level simply didn't have enough health an proficiency to deal with pf swarm of spells, and you can't just cover it using spam potion like in 0.81

Yeah I know, thats why I'm concerned about not being able to do PF
However after reading your posts it means likely I will begin to struggle with Nintendo RE after 200.
I want to do high level RE for better drops. But for some reason my best drop was on normal difficulty (my only magnificient ever) and pretty much all my equipment comes from the shrine.
BTW I heard that the mobs power level get capped after a certain level, is this true?
I think you need some luck to do pf pre lvl 200, if it contains 4/5 monsters its still doable though strugling
and I think you could sanely start PFRE around 222 as long as you don't meet 9 giant or celestial or undead it's doable. Using scrolls like protection scroll instead of "wasting" your first turn casting protection and got attacked might help too.
around lvl 250-275 might be the start comfortably done pu rf possible with "any equipment". and post 280 should be the start of possibility to do 20 round+ pf arenas - I'm talking in sane equipment set scenario.
As long as your equipment and proficiencies also progress along your level I don't think that you'll start struggling with nintendo RE after lvl 200, in fact it should getting easier. But at some point you might feel something like "why the monsters seems taking longer time to kill now?" but it's nothing major that makes you struggling too much.
