When you test Niten, don't forget to slot Skyward Sword on your shortcuts. It's the real deal, like they say.

Yeah, good enough for a no-shard-spent scenario. Now to see what Strike it gets. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Nah, my net speed is fluctuating. So it's kinda slow now. Or else it could've been much faster, since it's my primary Elec Mage setup. In the meanwhile, I was providing guidance to a certain young fellow from my hometown. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) impressive. i *may* consider a freyr set at this point. or even a mjolnir, not sure. not sure even between redwood or willow...

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Redwood is a trap. Willow is better. Speaking of which, there hasn't been any decent Fiery/Cold Oak Staff for a while in the market for a while now.

Answer: I'm bored playing Mage. And Niten is the only style I haven't tried yet. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) As for my stats, since I'm primarily a mage, my STR is 50 points lower than the rest. Not much of a weak point when I play Melee.

Don't fret over the strike, having it is what counts. More damages = good, whichever damage types, given the output of Niten. You'll see what I mean when you'll try it out.

You'll see what I mean when you'll try it out. You'd hope so, wouldn't you? QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Oct 22 2015, 16:20)  I think the beneficial effect of Holy Strike and Dark Strike is currently undervalued. I switched out a L402 Legendary Demonic Rapier (Hollowforged, Butcher Lv.5 Fatality Lv.3 Overpower Lv.1) of the Nimble for a L427 Legendary Ethereal Rapier of Slaughter (Fire Strike, Butcher Lv.3 Fatality Lv.3 Overpower Lv.3), both with ADB and CC forged to 5, and I can't see any difference at all in my clear times, not even on long SG arenas. If this is really the result of Fire Strike instead of Dark Strike, it's unfortunate, because it would mean the primary benefit of IWing comes from the level 10 potency (10 shards to reset if you don't get a good one), and the first 9 potency levels are of lower priority. It's sad, even if a player spends 15-20 shards to get a good Fatality/Butcher start, 2/3s of the time the level 10 potency will render it meaningless.

That's just some cure bonus, or in other words, "a defense boosting stat". When you are starting as a Mage, you may lack defense, and in that case, it is good. But once you're accustomed and have a stable set with moderate defense, you'll want to focus more on clearing speed, which is affected by Counter-Resist, a stat Redwood lacks. Sure Redwood has slightly better EDB and Elemental Prof, but Willow is better because of it's innate Counter-Resist. QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 26 2015, 02:24)  not bad. which spike at this point? fire or wind?
Umm...I recon it's Wind for Shade and Fire for Power...Like usual.

Can't find one that's below 450 in WTS. I was willing to just languish with this crap armor but then someone on here at LVL 322 has an ABD of 5900... that's driving me insane. Mine is just 5106. What WTB price point should I offer for a Mag Gauntlet of Slaughter and a Leg Power Armor of Slaugther, all with 3PABs? This post has been edited by jacquelope: Oct 25 2015, 23:13

The Balance Katana started with "Overpower + Fatality", and the Slaughter Katana has started with "Overpower + Butcher". Hmm. Interesting.
