you use peerless/legendary demonic willow of destruction , aria (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

it's a focus (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Does magic accuracy affect monsters resist chance?

Magic accuracy works like melee accuracy, determine your hit/miss rate. Any amount over 100% is added to counter evade.
You need counter resist to reduce monster's resist chance. It comes from staff (oak and willow), potency and proficiency of that particular spell mostly.

Never saw monster evading spell, but I have pretty good magic accuracy so it's ok.
But it is good to know that prof affects counter resist. Now I understand why monsters resist my curses so often. I have about 50 depre prof only.

Well, if you ll use staff of elementalist (its actually usually cheap) than just replace cloth with phase and you get more or less same result. So you should look more for stats. Sum of base mdb+edb should be higher than 60-65 or 45-50 if it has prof suffix. Prof should be ~7+ and ~14+ with prof suffix. Staff is the most important part of set, so its better to spend solid amount for good one, bind it and use long time.

Proficiency only adds to counter resist when it's generally higher than your level (which is only achievable with extra prof from equipments). While it's necessary to keep your deprecating prof up for more duration and less mana cost, don't bother using equipment with deprecating prof, use whichever has your attack spell prof instead (elemental, forbidden, devine). If your debuff fail just do it again, the mana cost is cheap and it's faster.

I recall that took like 10 hits off so they died around what, 30 hits instead of 40? And I dunno how to record my session. Maybe get the battle logs next time?

Not sure what else I can do when my ABD is 5386, all my ability tree (1h/general/etc) activated and maxed as far as level 306 can go, spirit stance, heartseeker, doing void damage, dark damage and holy damage, totally maxed wind spike shield, and also putting SGs on imperil. Damn.

I guess I should have recorded the SGs max hit points. But damned if I'm going through that again any time soon.

just a short reply to your " 40 hits needed to kill a SG "
I too need 35 hits to kill one with Imperil on PFUDOR ( same hp as on IWBTH ) so your hits/damage definetly isnt the issue^^

What is the name of script that shows one round and whole arena clearing time?

i dont know of single round time announcement but HV counter PLUS shows you the exact time you needed at the end

Oh now that's just God awful. They ought to increase the hitting power of FRD as a reward if you gotta go at it that hard to clear a SG arena at IWBTH/PF.

Oh and the SGs literally laughed at OFC.

obviously. not even all monsters die everytime with OFC, why expecting SGs (with their way higher HP pool) to be wounded by that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

as i already told you the other day, OFC is only a tool - useful, but still a tool. SS is a way (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

just FYI, one of the other ways is called DW. many people report it to be working pretty good on SG arenas. not sure since i didn't try it at high difficulties, but you may still want to try it.

Oh, I see Tenboro raised the difficulty needed from Nintendo to IWBTH for the Dovahkiin title. I've only just realized that.

I didn't expect to kill SGs outright with OFC at that level but I did expect their HP to go down at least a few ticks. That did not even happen. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You need hella evade with DW, don't you?

which condition did you use to launch OFC? i guess i don't have to remember you that best results are achieved with SS on, Heartseeker and PA x3 stacked

with an almost-full shade of fleet/shadowdancer, a waki and a rapier with high AGI roll, 50% is not so hard to achieve. and there's also Shadow Veil to boost it even further - let's say 63% on-combat? but even without rapier/waki combo, a club/rapier should still give you 45% or so at your level. evade is really not an issue, as you can see (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Don't forget Overwhelming Strikes. It might not be worth waiting on in normal arenas, but it is on SG arenas.

And if you're having that much trouble, you can also Imperil all 3 SGs right before OFC (not just your main target) (if you don't already).

SG with DW is for lower difficulty only.

Y'all don't know me very well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I only go at my enemies while loaded for Kodiak. When my OFC kicks off I've got heartseeker, SS and at least 1 penetrated armor on the enemy. Sometimes I have to fire it before PAx3 because my spirit stance likes to drive me below 210 so then I can't fire OFC - but I also imperil the SGs first. Can't wait until L310 when I can eliminate the Imperil cooldown! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Clubs inflict stunned, don't they?

Shield comparison and equipment suggestions requested:

Drop Shield

Magnificent with 2 attributes (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The one i'm using

If i upgrade the new one to lv.5 it's
36.27 +5% = 38% block.

Now...
Considering my status



And my equipment



Sword
Shield as above
Head
Body
Hands
Legs
Feet

And my only potential alternatives:


Helmet
Body
Hands
Legs 1
Legs 2
Feet

What would you suggest that i change among the present ones? (No money for new ones i fear (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) )
I can do all arenas available to myself at PF without REAL problem, but it takes forever.
Actually now that i have set haste on IA and i stopped using heartseaker before completing all buffs i have yet to die once (not even close) and i can do even legendary IW at PF... but really... it takes hours and hours. I'm not ever kidding. Took me 3+ hours to PF the ED... Yes i took several LONG breaks during that time, but still 3+ hours.

The problem is that i ALWAYS take damage and i have to be careful and heal when i get low. I can NOT go blindly onto the enemy. I'm never at risk by paying attention, but i always take too much damage.
Also if i go PF i know i'll have to burn A LOT of potions (draughts to be precise. I almost never use potions).

Edit: Never mind.
Reedit: Actually i'll ask.
Jacquelope... You DO keep spirit shield on 24/24 and use spirit draughts often... Right?

I think OFC is best used to clean normal monsters instead O xO Like, build up OC before the round end > stance on next round at full oc and probably overwhelm buff > OFC to kill everything but school girls > kill school girls safely.
