QUOTE(izpekopon @ Sep 10 2015, 05:36)  whats the difference between force shield and the other shields? i heard they come with higher block but i'v seen a few bucklers which have higher block and even comes with parry o.o
in average, force shields have the highest block possible but even a very high ITR and they need expensive components like DMM (50k each) to be upgraded. on the other hand, bucklers have the lowest block possible (even if a buckler of the barrier may be quite decent) and to be on pair with a force shield they need to be higher quality (thus requiring higher tiers catalysts and materials sooner than a force shield); parry is sort of subordinate to block, since it procs after and only blocks physical attacks. finally, good bucklers tend to be rare and expensive as hell if compared with decent force shields - comparison is made on block chance, since it's the most important stat to look at (followed by PABs and PMI, i guess). if i was in your shoes, even with a strict budget i'd go for an EMax block force shield QUOTE(Void Domain @ Sep 10 2015, 06:43)  Yeah get on spark, spirit shield and haste. They are universal. Lazy buff best buff (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) to think that i just bought VV over IA3 (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) oh well, nothing that a couple of months cannot solve (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) also, personally i think that haste should have priority over spark, at least for melee. in the many arenas that did these past days to collect 20 tokens i didn't ever find a case in which mobs could've shotted me in the first round. rather, spark was needed for less than 10% of the quest (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Sep 10 2015, 08:01)  you forget about protection , void (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) IA4 (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) afaik protection is the most useless spell to put in IA, since already cheap and durable enough. and every now and then it can still bring you a channelling chance, btw (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Let's say a 1H/Shield+PA player was actually going to break the rule of not using offensive spells and wanted to delve into some crowd control
for shits and giggles
which would be better? MagNet or WEAKEN? To be specific, does MagNet inhibit a mob's ability to inflict critical hits?
My mana is starting to outrun my expenditures again and as long as that pattern holds up I am finding that slapping sleep on early has cut down the instances of HUGE hits early on. Maybe mass WEAKEN can further reduce the odds of taking critical hits, and multiple target silence can be an option in FSM+ or final-level TT&T+ at IWBTH+?
Oh and those draughts are REALLY helping me now...
Edit: I meant WEAKEN not SLOW

QUOTE(nec1986 @ Sep 10 2015, 03:02)  Actually i checked pffest and it looks not very good too...but i expected that. Played hour and killed ~3500 mobs. Result: -50k stamina -8k pots +9k amnesia +20k credits +20k crystals +18k gear So. Its 9k profit. Actually i should also get few arti and some hidden gear potential. But generally its very low and its imperil way (more attention).
You forgot to count artifacts, should be about 30-48k (2-4 artifacts). You also forgot to count the pot/scroll gain too

Thats very low. I mean even with my bad set i could get like...130k/hour. I think current pf is ~60k. Sometimes we gonna get good legendary and sell it for 1-5m. Thats quite solid amount and each run gets good average increase. Btw, why ed`s price rises? QUOTE(Scremaz @ Sep 10 2015, 11:55)  just cleared PF TTT: who said that it was buffed? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Usually i get for full no sg 3+ magnificent. Sometimes legendary. But it can drops anytime. Pf sg also quite often mag, but for good clear here better to use mage set. This post has been edited by nec1986: Sep 10 2015, 10:59

But you could look at the historical ranges http://ehwiki.org/index.php?title=Equipmen...amp;oldid=32739 and see that your base of 21.31 would be in old E-0.84 range. There may not be that much change in the ranges too, since the old Pmax of 25.74 is very close to the recent lottery's helmet Pmax of 25.73.

It's really bad. You should throw it out. Like giving it to me, for exemple.

upgrade to +5 is fine, you only lose 1 RA when salvage. you can see the last few auctions for price check, maybe 500k~1m.

QUOTE(Crush85 @ Sep 9 2015, 14:36)  I meant doing it on PFDOR, not the challenge itself.
Just wanted to add to this little conversation: You can PFUDOR everything starting at 250, no IA required. I started doing just that at level ~250 (arena, rob, and iw) and now I would say 265 is the sweet spot (you get Spirit Shield lvl 4 then). I added IA1 at ~310 (iirc) and it hasn't affected my survivability, only my clearing times. The only thing I haven't tried is PFUDOR grindfest (don't have the time). So you can absolutely start PFUDORing the arenas, robs and iw as soon as you reach 250. This post has been edited by MarsRuby: Sep 10 2015, 15:28
