What other benefits does soulfusing has other than being able to use equipments 50 levels higher?

Stats will keep growing as you level up. Otherwise, if you use an equip with a stat scaled to, eg., 50 at your level, it will remain at 50 forever.

But if you soulfuse, then once you gain 40 levels, the stat might have risen to 60 to scale with your level. Same sort of thing for all stats. Someone whose weapon might have Lmax ADB at level 300 could well be equivalent to only level 370's Smax ADB (so once they get to that point the weapon will probably be so bad to be unusable unless they soulfuse it).

it's still a bonus afterall: if two pieces of armor have same stats, same price but one is prefixed and the other not, obviously go for the prefixed one

Yep, I agree.

What I'm really hoping for is a way to use the Item Manager to pre-filter trash equipment to be bazaar'ed or salvaged, to minimise the equipment I need to eyeball. My assumptions are
1. Leg equipment is sufficiently rare that I can always eyeball them without much pain
2. at my level and 50 below, nobody's going to be using Mag equipment much less soul-fusing it, so almost anything below Leg will just need to be sorted between bazaar and salvage.

Does 2. look right, and are there exceptions?

with this last patch, the amount of PXP you earn with a soulfused item is doubled for each run. it's written in 0.83 changelog but i cannot search it because i'm at work (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

(almost) nobody would refuse a mag savage armor of slaughter. or a mag hallowed katalox of destruction, i guess (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Welcome to the star club!

I was running for 5 butcher with the recent IW-soulfuse buff I figured this was a decent run anyhow. While still much better than my current katana I'm not sure the swift strike I levels I got will be of any use to me seeing as how my burden has always been too high to get any attack speed bonus. What do the master nerds in this thread think, should I reroll or keep this one and go to level 10?

Is this for 2h or Niten? Hopefully Niten, hopefully your waki has Overpower 4 or 5, otherwise you'll probably run into strings of annoying parries if you play on PFUDOR.

You are right that the swift strike is useless, not only because of high burden, but because higher attack speed is not very helpful anyway. It's not terrible, but all other potencies are so much better.

Butcher 3 and Fatality 3 are good potencies, even though you're lacking Overpower. The problem is, it's quite costly and time consuming to get more than one desired leveled potency. You have 6/9 levels of "good" potency, so I'd keep it.

Yeah I'm running niten, but I hardly ever go past IWBTH. Real life eats up to much of my time to try for a ideal IW leveling run even with the soulfused boost. I'm gonna finish it, thanks for the advice.

hey another question.. dont know if it can be answered with a clear sentence : )

I really dont know what gear I should go for with 1H... Light or Heavy? ( shade or power )

also if light.. what type ? with power its slaughter. and how should i increase my stats for it? strength/dex/agi/end?

are there any clear differences which makes the other set a bit stronger or more suitable for later plays?


Im still looking for a suitable shield to use for, how much block chance should it have as a initial number?

Initially, it probably doesn't matter much. Heavy armor gives more of an HP boost and mitigation from proficiencies, but it has very little resist, so strong Sprites and Celestials' magic SP attacks will oneshot you if you don't have Spirit Shield. (But you still have Spark and Cure/Fullcure so it's managable) If you go for heavy armor, use at least 3 Plate, at most 2 Power. (Power Slaughter is nice but super costly, if you can't get it that's fine) Light armor has less mitigation and less endurance, and Shade armor has no Piercing mitigation (not recommended), but they have high resist.

Past level 230 or so, you'll probably be finding that you're feeling like you have enough defense, and that sacrificing defensive armor for offensive armor will help your clearing speed. For this, Power armor is great, much better than Shade, especially if Power Slaughter or Power Balance. Eventually you'll want to replace all your Plate with all Power by level 300 or so. That's the path of least resistance.

With heavy armor, keep Agi very low, almost as low as Intel. With light armor, Agi can be higher, but not as quite high as Dex/Str/End.

Look for a Force Shield with Emax+ block, and hopefully a useful suffix. (no Stoneskin)

so the answer is that heavy power is stronger and much faster in high level than light armour ? at least i understand it like that.


what exactly is the meaning of emax+ block ?

right now all the exquisite weapons/armours that i drop, should i salvage them all for materials ?

Yep. A strong offense is a good defense as well, which is one of the reasons Power works so well for high level players.

Emax = Exquisite-max block, for 0.81 at least, we don't know the 0.82 values (but they're a bit higher). Many unassigned ones still exist in shops.

Salvage or sell to bazaar, the net difference in value is low for anyone who isn't a daily grinder.

You just have to imperil everything. Its one of the harder profs to exp.

Spellspam Sleep/Weaken/Imperil/Blind on Crude IW, with highest costing ones first. Wear the highest interference armor you can without dipping into potions, if that's even possible anymore.

Getting to level 250 helps, for 0 cooldown Weaken.

One should be able to do it while nearly AFK (watch movie/anime/etc in other window), all you really need to do is keep draughts up.

Staff is worse, as is Elemental/Divine/Forbidden I think.

Go in the lowest difficulty crude IW.
Use SpellSpam, put mp pot/Draught before the Deprecating spells.

Hold 1 and go away. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Are new Peerless Slaughter/Destruction equipment worse than pre-patch?

Are new Peerless Slaughter/Destruction equipment worse than pre-patch?

It seems the peerless after 0.82 only have the bonus of Legendary grade (x1.2) instead of the old Peerless grade (x1.25).
Since Slaughter equipment are not budded @ 0.82, peerless Slaughter equipment after 0.82 is worse.

Hello again everyone,

Sometimes when I'm playing Hentaiverse the pony thing comes up. But when i click the pony chart, the page just never loads?. Or when it does load it just has a small picture logo in the corner. This never happened before yesterday.
(Losing stamina and not regaining any).

Thanks
