Question: Is niten efficient battle style in long term?

I know the fact that it gives no proficiencies, so this is weak side of this battlestyle, but i see this realy powerful in powerlvling, Skyward Sword is kinda overpowered, but im worried that if i powerlevel too much i'll be kinda behind with DW and 2H profs.

Any tips?

Past level 150-something, Niten turns out to be lacking in defense against the high PL monsters you'll be facing. It's not the absolute worst - that's reserved for 2h - but 1h and DW are better at that point, and remain so. Also, Niten has to use their slashing weapons, the weapon procs of which are quite bad compared to Stun and Penetrated Armor.

Before the monsters start skyrocketing in power, I think 2h is easier. Or you could just switch over to 1h early. Being able to near-permanently attack in Spirit Stance without even really looking is quite nice - significantly better than having very strong overcharge skills or having Domino Strike, IMO.

Leg Staff
Should I soulfuse this?

If you don't have a lot of funds but have spare fragments, then after you have a usable holy set, sure.

Better holy staffs exist from pre-0.82, but getting near L MDB as well as EDB higher than (suffix-only) L range would be pricey, probably 2m+. That's how it was before the patch. Prices may have dropped, though. Better 0.82 holy staffs exist, but almost all of them are likely too high level for you to use.

I have had this Legendary Phase Robe of Niflheim sitting around for ages and I doubt I will ever use it. Can someone please give me a price check on it, if it will fetch a decent price its probably better me selling it, as I don't really have any other cold gear.

From the discussion on staff IW potencies in May, it seems that Archmage could be the choice for the second potency on forged Destruction staves.

I'm planning to eventually full forge my LDKD. Would Archmage > Penetrator or Penetrator > Archmage?

I'm currently leaning towards Penetrator actually, because it would help counter-resist for both Imperil (if that still exists next patch, hah!) and the regular spells.

Edit: damnit, more remorse. My P EDB on a dark katalox staff would have an equivalent base EDB on a dark willow staff of S-1. And Katalox doesn't have all that nice willow counter-resist and deprecating prof too. What is Katalox actually good for?

It is somewhat old, but take a look at this. It's mostly still relevant and may provide some guidance.

I have 248 fragments, I think that counts spare fragments. Ive been wanting to use them since I'm scared 10B will raise the price to soulfuse back up to 100, but my next best gear is all exq power armor.

Legendary Etheral Willow Staff of Focus
Also, what is this worth? Did I just find 2 worthless leg staffs in one day?

Disregarding the unusual collector or player who doesn't understand EDB, it is probably worth around 7k-8k.

Pre-patch it would have gone for lots since EDB is (was) nice. Now, probably not, since anyone looking for serious phase to use would use 0.82s with the much improved stats and Crushing mit. I think not over 1.5m, and even that's only if you get lucky with an undiscerning buyer IMO.

Yea I was fearing that. I should have sold it when I first got it ages ago..... Thanks all the same.

Thanks for the link.

Wow, thanks for digging this nugget up. Quite useful indeed, if to confirm my doubts (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Maybe someone only dancing around in the game would not care either way

i feel like being called on (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
basically, SS isn't exactly so useless but there's plenty of potencies better than that. many thanks

apart from the lack of proficiency, consider that skyward sowrd is indeed powerful, but only limited to 5 targets, leaving the other ones - up to 5! - completely unharmed

Long time since i used this thread... just a quick question: are these cotton pieces worth anything? (im willing to salvage them):

[GS-Cloth-0]Legendary Charged Cotton Robe of the Elementalist
[GS-Cloth-1]Legendary Frugal Cotton Shoes of the Heaven-sent
[GS-Cloth-2]Legendary Frugal Cotton Shoes of Warding

Hope any answer.

the prof ones should be worth more than a HG cloth.

Some people are still using Holy. So the 2nd one is not so bad, since its a Shoe, one of the most popular location to put Prof piece (+ it's Frugal).
1st one is not bad either, since it has very high Casting Speed. But the problem is that it's a Robe, which is the least popular location to put Prof piece.
Hence, I'm not sure about the prices, but those 2 are definitely worth more than HG-Cloth.

Sold the shoes for 2M... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)... not bad, uh? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Sure, P+ prof with frugal in boots. And holy is op.

knowing someone's in need, you could try 5m+. Could be wrong though.
