I thought I should stay away from evade because it harms other abilities? Though resist and crit chance are good things to have. Do arcanist/negation come with the savage prefix for critical multiplier?

Evade is great for non-1h, it's just as useful as the other defensive stats like pmi and specific mitigation. But, 1h prefers to block or parry rather than evade (and usually prefers to take the chance of taking damage rather than evading). This is because 1h can't counter-attack, stun, and gain OC when an attack is evaded (evade is checked before block and parry).

Does higher difficulty affect Tokken of Blood droprate for arena?

Nope

to be honest, your level 173 is not good enough. try reach 200 first and get usable equipment. mag rapier and shield, equisite armor. better armor is better too.

I personaly play first page PFU arena start on lv 250+ below 250 I play on hell-nintendo.

at level 300 you can do anything on PRU except for IW. still hurts.

All of my gear is exquisite except superior gauntlets and mag greaves + mag eth rapier of slaughter that is more like Ideon's blade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Offense is seriously not a problem for me now and the person who gave me the sword says it's rated to serve me well until lvl 350 if I soulfuse it. By then I should be able to afford this rapier in Legendary form.

Yeah a buncha guys here educated me on the disadvantages of evade and the advantages of 1H+Power Shield. And my performance results scream that they were 1500% right.

That Rapier, so jelly.

Why do I feel softer though, the more I approach level 300? Gear getting outdated? To add more information, I am at 64.7% PMI. Sorry I can't post more stats, since I am currently doing arena. What amout of PMI is enough for IWBTH?

Thats a nice rapier, especially the holy strike.

BTW do Sorcery and Elementalism augment Elemental Spikes or Elemental weapon infusions, or can I just take AP points out of Sorcery and Elementalism and put them elsewhere?

They're only for first and second tier elemental spells, which you don't use if you're melee, so it's no help.

So right now my DW and light armor profeniencies are 13 points under my level. Is it worth the effort to get them to match now or should I just wait for it to happen naturally when leveling up becomes monstrous?

Definitely don't bother, the benefit is marginal and it takes a significant amount of time.

Weapon and armor proficiencies level up very quickly compared to other proficiencies anyway.

and even after, especially if you throw in a binding of slaughter every bunch of levels. you know, i'd be quite happy to own a similar rapier.

mobs getting stronger? more powerful SP attacks? you need a bit of time to adapt your playstyle to higher difficulties?

i have had a similar PMI amount for a good bunch of levels and really no trouble. but more than PMI you should worry about block if using 1H, and evade if you're DW shade. remember that PMI is only the last defensive layer

Excuse me

Between "of Protection" and "of Dampening" which one is better for a force shield?
Thank you

I'd love to go forge block chance, but my force shield has that loveable AGI. I should use Spirit Shield more often now I guess.

Protection of course. Always go for the general mitigation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah, block chance and parry is best one (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
but, still can be got damage

Protection of course. Always go for the general mitigation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

thank you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

past a certain level/difficulty, spirit shield is pretty much a must for everyone, just FYI.

and surely AGI is the best PAB to have on a shield. especially if it lacks DEX and/or END in the meanwhile (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

actually, it's not like they will affect your total mitigations so much. block and PABs (especially END) are way more important, so they come first. if all of their differences are negligible, next criteria is the suffix - and sure, go for protection

Holy shit, what a nice sword. My piddly sword is nowhere close. Whoever gave you that is a saint. Was it Esoteric?

just saying, stats on that rapier are quite nice as well - apart for the lack of DEX, but nothing to worry too much about
