QUOTE(Scremaz @ Nov 14 2015, 13:53)  which build in particular? slaughter/nimble? slaughter/balance?
and why do you think it's *the* optimal?
I was reading the "optimal" considered DW builds in the wiki. If we think on how DW works, i don't see why not double Rapiers, since they get 3x armor pen faster and keep it up better... Just curiosity however. Nothing special in mind... This post has been edited by Epion: Nov 14 2015, 16:04

well , I'm curious too about that now (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I never try double rapier when I still using DW heavy long time ago (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) in term of offense , I think dual rapier light is great (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) This post has been edited by nobody_xxx: Nov 14 2015, 16:12

At what level (if it ever happens), are you able to support downloading ~100 archives/week with just ~10 minutes/day of playing? Right now, I got way more from translating, but I can only do Chinese and each one takes me hours. How about ~30 minutes/day of playing? Playing here is like working for porn lol (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by Simpleton8: Nov 14 2015, 16:45

Well about 1k-4k typically (I like larger gallery) Actually, it would be great if you can tell me how much C you earn if you just play for 10 minutes/day at around lvl 150, 300. I assume there is some "daily" you do to get a bunch of C.

Thanks. Is that all you can do? Any other daily/weekly that gives a lot of C especially at a lower lvl. This post has been edited by Simpleton8: Nov 14 2015, 17:04

Actually, it would be great if you can tell me how much C you earn if you just play for 10 minutes at around lvl 150, 300, 450 Mmm, OK. 186 cred / 1k GP * 2.5k GP/gallery * 100 galleries/week = 46500 credits/week. I think I can get that much in 20 minutes or so worth of playing. But income in this game is very top-heavy. You need high level for tankyness and damage, and you need good equips to clear fast, and equips cost credits, and to get more credits while playing you need to spend credits on training, and on the credit sinks when equipment condition gets low... etc. To get to the point where you can play without paying much attention, you need to be at least level 200, and then probably 2h on normal for the most income / time, but the income rate will still be a whole lot lower than most. Keep in mind that PF DwD, that nobody mentioned, even if you get to level 300, will probably take you 80 minutes+. You might be able to cut it down to 50 minutes by the time you get to level 370 or so and have moderately forged gear, but it's still a real pain. Standard arenas on Normal is a better method for income.

nope , you need very high lvl to unlock all arenas + survive at high difficulty GF (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) all arenas in PFUDOR usually give you 170~200k credits only ~ not counting other things like equipments , items , artifacts , crystal (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) well , to get alot of credits at low lvl you need to open H@H and become hath baron like atomicpuppy ( his lvl is lower than you ) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) This post has been edited by nobody_xxx: Nov 14 2015, 17:22

Thanks. I think this is good. I will probably "play hard" until lvl 200 for that arena challenge. That should be enough to keep my addiction going (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I am trying to play every ~30 minute to soulbound some legendary items (so that takes care of the gear). This post has been edited by Simpleton8: Nov 14 2015, 17:27

optimal is club and rapier, you can forgo overpower and get a lot of other potency.

Simpleton8 > Not that much. I can mostly advice to train a bit Adept Learner to lvl up faster and Scavenger to increase your drop rate (credit drops too).

true. in my case we'd be speaking about ~450 ADB out of a ~6.5k pool, so something like +7% damage (but does this) even matter when you have 2x IW10 weapons?). and obviously -30 parry points (something like -38% parry). also, for some reason i can't seem to play as mindlessly with (club + rapier) as with (rapier + waki). comparison isn't exactly fair since we're speaking about a nonIWed, non forged build against a IWed, forged one, but still...
