Like Dead-ed said, WTS only. Arenas/trophies/bazaar will never get you anything good unless you play as much as a level 350+ player, and even then it's highly unlikely.

Level unassigned gear is what I'm looking for? Gear around my level seems pretty sparse. I'm not exactly clear on how that works, the unassigned stuff scales to your current level on equip?

Sorry for all the questions.

Exactly, unassigned gear will scale to your current level on equip, and therefore will be level bounded (not soulbounded) since that moment. These are the remnants of pre 0.82 gear, so they are usually weaker than new gear but you can get a good price for them and will serve you good for a few levels until you can find/buy something better.

are you sure it's less than 200kb and that size (maximum should be 180x100)?

if both answers are yes, then try purging your browser cache

Ah yes, I shall do that next time I make an avatar for myself, thanks!

Hi, i would like to have some advice in what to spend my EXP Points, if i have to explain what kind of fight style i want, it would be like, mmm... Warrior maybe? I don't know, i would like be not magic dependant (Just Cure for Recover Health Obviously) And more like damage by Swords (maybe some spells to power up?)
I have only a bit of knowledge about this things (I often have to read the wiki over and over just to know what does what)

[puu.sh] Character Overview
[puu.sh] Statistics

In abilities i have what i can for the level limitation and i understand them (i think) so i though i guess it's useless to post here haha.
TLDR: Just want a kind of warrior (decent balance in Attack Dmg and Endurance) style.
In the end, i guess all i just want is to level up more faster but well, i hope at least a little suggest (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Don't be sorry, I broke the record for number of questions around here and these guys helped me out.

Dex=Str=End=Wis>>Agi>>>>Intel for PABs.

The most important thing, much more so than PAB distribution, is your fighting style / equipment. Use anything 2h, preferably of Slaughter, along with whatever armor you happen to find (light or heavy, but not both). It's probably a good idea to stick with 2h until level 150 or so.

I started out at your level with mage/cloth gear and a 2H ethereal longsword that served me well for a LONG time until around Lvl 180. I focused my points to WIS/END/INT/AGL, but this might not have been optimal. I lived on the evade skill, my 2H longsword, offensive spells, and the Great Cleave chain of attacks. Things got hard for me around Lvl 170-180 after which I switched to 1H/Force Shield and focusing points to WIS/END/DEX/STR. After a severely hard bump before Lvl200 I started going through enemies like a bullet train and had to go up to Nintendo to get a severe workout.

Maybe for your case my opinion is that you'll want a 2H longsword of slaughter and some leather/shade armor, and focus points on WIS/END/DEX/STR. In my experience the 2H of slaughter hits the hardest, and if you can snag an ethereal sword it will make spellcasting easier. For shade armor, look for arcanist stuff for 2 or so pieces, but not all. Fleet or Negation might be your best choices for other shade armor pieces. Just my opinion though.

Shade's pretty bad for low-level players. The 0 piercing mitigation is worse than any of the benefits it provides, especially since some 45% of all physical attacks are Piercing. Shade, like Power, is for after a player has enough innate toughness from levels/abilities/clear speed that they can focus on damage rather than defense in armor slots.

Arcanist in particular is not a good choice - better to have something that contributes to clear speed or defense, even if it means an extra potion used every 3000 turns.

How much battle time do items take? I thought the last big update made them take no time, but I just got killed while using an item.

Rats. I was looking at the wiki and assumed that Shade's superior (relative to leather) Resist and Evade were more important than its inferior Piercing mitigation; evade and resist seemed more valuable when you're using 2H and not relying on block. But yeah, if you actually get hit, ouch.

Which item, and did you take a screenshot or something?

I think I've read something about monsters attacking when they come out of stun, but I'm not sure about that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

It was a mana potion. I kept the fight up just in case. (This has happened a couple of times) The monster did come out of stun the turn before.

Text log below.

I think I've read something about monsters attacking when they come out of stun, but I'm not sure about that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

This appears to be reproducible

CODE

8    3    You parry the attack from Puff The Magic Dragon.
8    2    You gain the effect Replenishment.
8    1    You use Mana Draught.
7    6    The effect Searing Skin on Eneus The Barghest has expired.
7    5    The effect Stunned on Puff The Magic Dragon has expired.

11    7    Eneus The Barghest uses Summon Petitneus. You block the attack.
11    6    Your spike shield hits Bird Of Paradise for 5 points of fire damage.
11    5    Bird Of Paradise gains the effect Stunned.
11    4    You counter Bird Of Paradise for 4310 points of void damage.
11    3    You block the attack from Bird Of Paradise.
11    2    You gain the effect Regeneration.
11    1    You use Health Draught.
10    7    The effect Stunned on Bird Of Paradise has expired.
10    6    The effect Stunned on Eneus The Barghest has expired.

This appears to be reproducible

So my best guess is that the stunned monster loads up their attack for when the stun goes off it acts on the first turn it isn't stunned. That kind of sucks.

That has happened to me NUMEROUS times, too, though it has never actually killed me (yet). I was trying to figure things out and I just assumed that the wiki was outdated yet again.

I guess it means that using the item takes 0 time, but the free attack after stun expires also takes 0 time.

Caveat consumo

I reduced my mana use down to 1-3 pots per run on The Trio and the Tree on hell by abusing ether tap and enabling the 'notify on channelling' (because previously I kept missing channels) (in order of preferred casts Arcane Focus >> less expensive non IA spells >> IA spells >> Cure/Full Cure >> Absorb), casting on Coalesced Mana and removing the T3 spells from spellspam and only using those when most of the enemies weren't dead. Also spirit stance when possible for cheaper casts.

Probably still better to use 1H though, but it's too late for me to switch. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

After reading the past couple pages, what I'm hearing is that 1H + Shield really is the best thing?
Up until this point I've been rolling Shade + DW and do my random encounters on IWBTH if I can bother, or just sleep through Nintendo.
Will this not last or something? Should I start switching over?
If so, what weapon/shield/armour stats and pre/suf-fixes should I look for?

You can do pretty much whatever you want and still manage high difficulty before level ~150. After that, monster PL skyrockets from the 200s and 300s into the 1000+ range. Monsters won't be that much tankier than before, but they'll do a whole lot more damage, so you'll need a fighting style with good defense to play on high difficulty. So, for that, 1h is the best choice, at least until level 300-something, where you have enough innate tankyness from levels, abilities, and decent equipment to play other fighting styles somewhat efficiently on higher difficulty.

For you, armor isn't so important, but having 1h + shield is. Look for a prefixed Exq+ Rapier of Slaughter, possibly unassigned, and an Emax+ block force shield (also possibly unassigned). 3 PAB would be good, but not essential. Nothing else is important enough to consider, given the limited funds of a player of your level.

Is it even possible to mass reassign stats if we wanted to switch play styles? I heard there was a cap on how much you can reassign in one day.
