Hey,

How do you determine how "good" an item is? For example, I got:
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=a867ebb154

So it's balance suffix, which I think is worse than slaughter but better than the rest? Elemental strike is good but 3 primaries is bad when it could be 4?

What else should I look at, how do I know how good the attack is for the range?

Lastly, is it worth keeping/soulfusing for later, or selling? If selling, how much could I expect to get?

Thanks!

are you sure? we saw catgirl fights for way less. +700ADB out of a 6.4k (like mine) is a whole lot (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
non-prefixed and overpower 3 on it, yet soulfused? you're doing something wrong bro...


overpower is good for dual. the feels when SG parry your attack 5 turns straight....
but non-prefixed is really wrong.

Not bad. Yeah, balance is probably the second best suffix, especially for non-1h players who care more about accuracy.

2h weapons can only have 3 PABs, so you're not missing out on anything.

It has a prefix, which is good - but it's not Ethereal, which means you won't be able to have very low burden - less evade, so on higher difficulties you'll have significant problems (in addition to the usual toughness problems 2h/Niten has on higher difficulties).

If Niten becomes playable in the future on higher difficulties, it'd be worth something, but probably not much right now. I'd just keep it and hope something eventually changes.

Right. Good idea, I didn't even think about intentionally breaking weapon before going in.

Plus it stuns, mobs dont hit u = no armor prof gain right? this way i have a higher chance to gain 2h prof over armor prof. Is my way of thinking correct?

Proficiency has a chance to be gained any time you attack or get attacked - I'm pretty sure there's no other limitation such as only one proficiency type gain per turn.

btw how to use HV Equipment Comparison in the forum. How do i make it display M- E+ S- all those ratings, it currently only displays base stats. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) it works as normal in my own inventory, equipment page and bazaar though.

There's an ELP (equipment link popup) script and a HV Equipment Comparison for ELP script.

Unfortunately, ELP doesn't seem to work well for me (after first popup, it spins without loading). So I fall back onto hitting C or opening the link in a new window/tab, and using the equipment comparison script in the new window/tab.

If you're taking, what, 20 hits to kill a PFUDOR final round mob, mathematically speaking a 5% increase in ADB will solidly reduce the required hits to 19? *shrug*


Is the damage really linear? In the first few rounds per monster where you're trying to get PA to stack, you're not really doing much damage?

[attachembed=71199]
(pic 1) When i use w directly on the item in inventory / bazaar

[attachembed=71200]
(pic 2) When i use w after i create a separate link with c.

What i really want to know is how to view stats like the first pic in forum with all the P L M E S +- ratings. cos on the forums even after clicking the links, they only display like the 2nd pic. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Wild guess: disable the default HV font. Even if it doesn't fix it, it'll solve other problems as well.

Trying to level a bit easier on nintendo difficulty but it is proving to be difficult. DW Axe and Rapier with full shade light armor. What can I do to improve my damage and survive grindfest longer?

Equipment is much more important than stats (which are fine anyway).

Shade isn't a good choice before level 300-something, since it gives 0 Piercing mitigation, which composes some 40% of all damage taken. Better to use Leather until you can handle the lesser defense of Shade.

A mainhand club instead of an axe will let you stun enemies in exchange for slightly decreased damage. If you're having trouble with damage taken, it's a good choice.

Arenas (and REs) are generally better than Grindfest, unless you've finished all the arenas you can do in a day. Grindfest gives next to no income, after all.

I see. I'll have to use this until I can get some decent armor drops then. Have to find a superior club for sale since the ones I usually get are only average. I'll try arenas more often. Is item world worth and upgrading worth it at this level?

You don't have the stats to play on any high difficulty, so IW will take too long.

You don't have to play DW if you don't want to. 2h is probably a faster style - it does a whole lot more damage, though it has less defense. And a bit after level 150 you'll find it easiest to switch to 1h, because monsters start getting a whole lot tougher then, and 1h's defensive power is unparalleled.

Got it. I'll test out 2h when a wep drops and see if it suits me.
