Is this okay, that some abilities (4 example 'hp tank') don't seem to work?

I've got base 2816 HP and 6th level of hp tank, but i've got oly 2872 hp. Even if i reset ability nothing seems to be changed.

It's been a while since i played hv last time and i'm not familiar with all this changes=))

Did you "Slot" the hp tank?

yup. maybe he is mistaking it with light/heavy armors abilities and with a low prof on them... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Nah. What I meant was that may be he only filled the hp tank ability with AP, but didn't click on the icon to Slot it. Without slotting, it's ineffective no matter how much AP is used in it.

and all the other HP are brought in by END on armors, right. still, that bonus END has to be quite low and/or HP armor ability not slotted...

Scremaz > Balance/Nimble are overall the same, although Nimble might be better for the parry.
But the true goes for Slaughter. That's the way of the Almighty Niten.

Yes they are, but I did a bad move in resetting my waki recently :<.

[c2.staticflickr.com] Here they are.

One day I'll be rich and get a proper katana.

good ACC but quite low ADB. basically, a bunch of your stats is quite comparable to my DW + pre-patch shade, only with less evade/resist

if you actually want to continue with power armors route imo you should switch a couple of your protection gears with slaughter ones and still you wouldn't lose so much PMI. also, quite low DEX and WIS

I'm actually working my ass toward adorning some motherfuckin magnificent protection stuff who are highly better than the ones I use and would give a significant boost in my defensive and offensive stats.
So yeah.

Then it's down to the katana anyway.

most of the damage is given by armors, so katana can wait. also, ethereal ones tend to be quite rare on auctions.

however there's a good bunch of power armors on W's auction, you should be able to bring home at least two or three...

I doubt it. My capacity of gathering credits is somehow very very very low. Not talking about the fact I have lots of stuff to do before thinking about buying new stuff now that I have new stuff I don't even wear. Soul Fragments and IW and upgrades and other stuff mostly.
Do get that most of my stuff is - very - old. Mostly anything would be a better improvement. Appart from my kick-ass boots.

I'm not a heavy player, I do my stuff at my own pace and don't care much that I can't close GF PFUDOR in ten minutes. For now I'm focused on self-improvement, which isn't too hard to accomplish, before thinking about dwelling in the excruciating ways of the WTS-sub forum. Don't know where I'll end up by the end, too.

Katana can wait a very long time, it's been what, four years I have this one or something like that ^^. And yeah, ethereal or nothing :/.

You think I should shange my DEX/WIS ? I quite like it like that but well.

lol, you're speaking to the "just-dancing-around-in-the-game" guy so it's not like i cannot understand you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

uhu. katanas have quite high BUR if compared to wakis, so i think they should be ethereal as well

You think I should shange my DEX/WIS ? I quite like it like that but well.

maybe not changing, but only spending the next EXP you gain on them. WIS can raise your MP Tank - surely not that bad of a thing: should you bring at the same value of your END stat, you will have 80 MP more, which means you may cast more spells.
as for DEX, well - surely more versatile of a stat than STR: it boosts ADB, ACC, crit, parry... nowadays i raise all my stats evenly, but if i had to prioritize one of the two i would surely pick DEX

*brofist*

Yeah. Actually I was all for "everything ethereal or stfu" but waki are really low so I don't care much nowadays.
Then Niten in itself is somehow - maybe it's just me - a way of playing that involves quite the use of spells. So keeping interference low is good, same for burden since you rely on everything you can to avoid being hit. And yes, I do have a nice evade while wearing heavifying armors (Shadow Veil ftw ~).

Thanks for the advice about the stats, I'll think about what to do.
But doesn't DEX raise ADB less than STR ?

just wondering, why not using shade set? at your level and with niten it should be easy to reach 50%. also your attack speed would benefit from it...
maybe it's only me but i see heavy armors more fitted for mace and 1H builds (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

But doesn't DEX raise ADB less than STR ?

yes, but at our levels we're speaking about 4 ADB every 3 STR against 2 ADB every 3 DEX. all out of a 5~6k pool. it's not that much of a difference - let's say 20 ADB every 30 PABs?

just wondering, why not using shade set?

First reason would be because I prefer power over shade.
Second reason would be because I started with heavy a hell of a time ago and don't want to rebuild a new stuff from almost scratch ^^.
I don't know which one would be best, practically speaking, maybe in the long run shade is best. Maybe not. Anyway I use that and stick with it because it's cool to imagine my character with a powered exoskeleton.

You have quite a nice attack speed with Niten actually. Not sure why.

it's not that much of a difference - let's say 20 ADB every 30 PABs?

That's too much for my need of ADB !!

@falbala

Katana price is not too expensive now ( unless it's ethereal ) , you maybe can get some good elemental leg katana of slaughter with 6 digit bid in auction (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Scremaz > Balance/Nimble are overall the same, although Nimble might be better for the parry.

Overall the same? I doubt it. It probably depends on difficulty - on high difficulty, Niten really likes having more defense, so Nimble might be the best choice, but on low difficulty, it's less important, so the increased clearing power of Balance would be better. It also depends on forge level of equipment - with godly forge, for instance, you might be tough enough for IWBTH and PF without wanting Nimble as well.

whats the best way to go about raising magic proficiency? cos i heard the amount of mana consumed affects the chance we get proficiency. so would having high interference make gaining magic proficiency faster?

Exactly. In the past, it was easiest by equipping stuff with the highest interference possible, and then playing in a Crude IW on IWBTH, using a ton of mana each turn, but fleeing when all potion slots run out. But now, mana usage per turn must be a whole lot lower in order for draughts to suffice - using mana potions regularly just to train proficiency is probably not good for your wallet. So if I were you, get equipment with as high interference as possible without requiring regular potion usage. (For draughts to regenerate the most MP/turn, you'll also want to never use Haste, and to have no cast speed bonuses)
