QUOTE(nec1986 @ Jun 29 2015, 08:30)  Eco4 is ok. Its not so important. For example lets say average consumption is 25mp/turn. Actually for elemental mage it can be even lower, because we have only half price with coalesced. Than per 10k turns we spend:
25*0,8*10k= 200k 25*0,75*10k= 187,5k
Difference is 12,5k mp and for me its near near 13 pots. Only 1300 credits on 10k turns distance. Instead eco you get something different. So overall difference is even lower.
That's exactly what i'm thinking since the 0.82 came live... Eco is now almost useless!... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) (Except for Economize creds of course (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) So, talking about efficiency in PFGF, what would be the best potency combination for staffs (disregarding Economizer)?... currently i'm using 5 phases and have 5 Eco + 4 Pen... i was thinking about 5 Pen + 4 Spellweaver, but people keep saying how good is prof building and i still need to test that (i just need good elementalist gears, lol)... anyway, I don't think Penetrator is that good for prof builds, right?! ...so what? (supposing I can reach at least 0.9 prof factor with 2 cottons)... 5 Spellweaver + 4 Pen, 5 Spellweaver + 4 Annihilator or other combination? This post has been edited by e-Stark: Jun 29 2015, 22:37

QUOTE(Colman @ Jun 29 2015, 08:53)  Although I still have some experiences of not getting the last Eco with the next 5 level. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif) Yep; that happened to me with Juggernaut a while back. Got Juggernaut level 4 in the first four levels, then the fucking game strung me along all the way up to level 10 just to kick me in the nuts. ... Still no luck. Got Economizer and Penetrator in the first two levels a couple of times, but I keep getting a third potency around level 4 or 5.

rapier + any good shield + power ( protection , balance or slaughter ) I think it's better for you to use power of protection since their ADB get buff this patch + they are much more cheaper than slaughter (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) for shield , just get some with good block stats (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

The worst 1H style is naked. Yet, boulay proved that you can still do PFUDOR random encounters and ar en as with nought but a buckler and 21 ponies. And that was during 0.81 days, so you can probably do DwD with infinite pots today.

quite a bit. let's take a PF RE with 10 mobs and let's say you'll kill one while building OC. with spirit stance on and maybe heartseeker, the pony cannon can surely take care of at least 6 of the remaining ones and almost kill the other three, if there are giants in between. otherwise you just won (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So does pony + pony perk one-shot every monster? Bosses, too?

QUOTE(e-Stark @ Jun 29 2015, 23:33)  So, talking about efficiency in PFGF, what would be the best potency combination for staffs (disregarding Economizer)?
Well, pen is good even for prof build. For example difference between 50% counter-resist and same with 19% in staff. Full damage 87,8% --> 91,5% Half damage 11,9%--> 7,3% 1/4 damage 0,28% --> 0,2% And the main reason here is because half damage quite often means additional turns. Prof build doesnt have very strong damage. So in reality for me its ~3% turns. Actually quite solid, because archmage for me only 1%. Spellweaver is good and bad at the same time. We can kill mobs relatively faster, so they deal slightly less damage. Their attacks also gonna be slower. Our buffs stays longer (this can be very important for scolls) and our turn based regeneration is better, but at the same time our gem mp/sp regeneration same and our draught mp regeneration is slower. Also we can increase speed only because less cures. Sometimes it can be very significant, because we always have regeneration against incoming damage and only difference between both is our cures. But sometimes we anyway use many cures. If thats 600 per run, than even 500 still d be many. And significant effect only with low amount like 100 --> 30 in 3 times. But at the same time 70 cures difference in whole run is nothing. Anyway it has some potential. Annihilator gives 2% for crit damage. 5 of it d increase from 1,65 to 1,75, right? I mean with arcane focus. I d say its slightly better than archmage. So looks like pen is must, but second can be any. Even eco, because pots cost credits. And additional credits is same as increased clearspeed. Spellweaver has potential, but mostly overall effect doesnt looks very strong. It always gonna be reduced slightly with haste and even without charged gear i already have almost 10% cast speed. It could be very important for melee, but mages anyway got huge damage per turn.

i don't own that perk, but with a decent enough 1H set you shouldn't need it. bosses as well, they only have a few HP more than other mobs but they aren't too much of a hassle to deal with. my 1H build has (only) 6100 ADB and usually i don't have any problem with REs. rather, i started to feel bored and did a few of them with 2H (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Jun 30 2015, 09:11

So, I just had a go with naked style with my shield in a new equipment set (= forgot to equip pots, IA, and all). My stats are distributed for mage so I have < 3k ADB. Forgot to equip pots and didn't exactly play efficiently, but still won. (IMG:[ i.imgur.com] http://i.imgur.com/eoF84rF.png) This post has been edited by mozilla browser: Jun 30 2015, 09:53

Naked style ftw (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Did you try that in RE or Arena?

Naked with no battle items and many rounds is a bad idea. Surprisingly, with just the shield + bare-hand parry, I get lower incoming damage than when I play as mage.
