By all means, check your MM.

Thanks man!

(PHEW, I counted four times so far that I nearly equipped that shield by accident and bound it to my level...)

about level unassigned items, do the stats on it scale towards the level when u equip them?

You know what, I wish hvstats had types-of-damage in its Battle Stats area. I'd love to see what the percentages are for dark, holy, pierce, crush, etc that actually hits me, and the damage they do.

And damn... I didn't know Domino Strike could do up to 9. Or is hvstats kinda obsolete on that? Not that I miss 2H but... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

yes, it'll scale to your current level and stop scale up (unless you souldbound it then it scale up along with your level)

How much ed chance was reduced?
For last 87 shrine i got 13,79% (a bit unlucky i think).

I think it has been re-adjusted. It was nerfed for sure. Dunno how much though. But now seems like ED is being generated much more frequently. I don't shrine tons of Artifacts at once. I usually get ~1-3 ED from Shrining ~6-10 Artifacts per day nowadays. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i never noted it before, but it seems MP cost reduction while in Spirit Stance does affect IA spells as well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It is. But instead full reduction when casted it gives only reduction when spirit stance on (mostly affects only with ofc skill).

I'm offering a free Power Shield for players at and around your level

Hmm. I'd like a power shield of power.

Is this what you're looking for?

If so, head straight over to tatarime's battle stats script

So basically my dreams of high profit IWBTF/PFUDOR TTT/EoD/TKaG Arena runs are on hold. With what I'm wearing, I.Will.Die. Probably in the last round against 10 mobs which have boss mobs.

You will not do high profit arenas without at least 2 levels of IA devoted to Spirit Shield and Spark in any battle style, period, end of story. I don't believe you have those levels. Focusing on IWing armor now is simply futile.

What I suggest you do, is level up, and look for a mix of Balance/Protection/Slaughter to help you with the next months. There are numerous shops that offer Unassigned such as https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=177158 and https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=162726. (Well, the second is slightly more unaffordable) Superior quality is fine. You don't need to sink too much money into your gear, what with the new balance patch coming soon [in Valve time].

There are Xmas events to get benefits from Tenboro (possible Cookie or Thin Mints for a hath bonus, and numerous assorted Xmas artifacts you could sell for... (maybe 300k or so in January.) Use those to fund IA.

BTW for 1H weapons, I have an Ethereal Rapier of Slaughter. I would greatly recommend you get that kind of weapon.

ethereal is not strictly needed, and it may be quite expensive for him. surely it would be better, but at his level just having a prefix (thus extra damage) is fine enough. and it's not that the BUR on a rapier will kill you if you wear a power set.
just saying, nowadays an exq elemental rapier should be quite cheap for what it can offer. most likely it will miss a PAB, but as long as it has DEX, high PA chance and high parry it should be all good (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Power Slaughter and Power Protection, now that's speaking my language. Someone told me that Warding was a superior choice and I had a feeling I was better off with Protection.

i'm not sure Warding is that bad of a choice. if you take a look at equipment ranges page, not only MMI on Warding is slightly better than PMI in Protection pieces (which doesn't mean absolutely nothing), but PMI in Warding pieces is on average higher than MMI in Protection pieces, and its highest is not so far from max PMI on Protection as max MMI on Warding is far from non-Warding pieces

tl;dr: surely by using Protection you will have good PMI, but you will also have crappy MMI; with Warding you will have high MMI, even if it comes with "only" decent PMI (with crappy < decent < good < high).
whether that supposed 85% chance of physical attacks (judging by what mozilla posted i'd say more 65~70%, but at your level it may be different because of more arthropods, giants and only a little bunch of celestials) can make up for it, i guess it should be tested (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

afaik domino can hit up to 3 mobs to every side of the main one, thus maximum 7 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

It is. But instead full reduction when casted it gives only reduction when spirit stance on (mostly affects only with ofc skill).

yup. but with gold star bonus regen and SS on, it's quite safe to assume that even with heavy set MP will remain less or more the same unless you cast a spell. it's something to be considered as well, since it may mean a few kMP spared (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

what is better? rapier or axe for fight style 1h and armor heavy

what is better? rapier or axe for fight style 1h and armor heavy

rapier, no doubt. but if you are starting & don't have budget for a rapier you can either choose a shortsword for more parry or an axe for more ADB

Forceful Force Shield of the Force is ok for me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

*facepalm* I meant force shield. How did "Power" get itself glued to my brain?

Ah yes, that's what I need! Thanks!

Yes. With IA4, RR, without EE, not using Shadow Veil in IA, I steadily gain mana while in SS. I lose mana while not in SS.

So even 40% of upkeep reduction of IA4 with Gold Star regen bonus + RR is not enough to gain mana without SS...

I see, useful information. Thanks Super (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You're probably looking for Hvstat.

ah thanks. think previously i didnt install it properly for it to function.

just purchased VV. it indeed boosts base Health, thus stacking with HP Tank, HP abilities, Juggernaut and so on it gave me +1800 HP while in 1H setup. not bad, i'd say...
