Think that got changed recently. You can SF anything underneath you and up to 100 levels above.

I feel you.
I need 170 myself (and for 2 pieces of just 50 levels above me... don't even wanna think what's gonna happen with lv.500) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

less or more what will happen to you, since his difference is roughly 70 levels. don't feel pity for someone who can afford leg power of slaughter.

I thought about rerolling to holy, but after some tests that doesnt look very good. Holy is incredible good against non-imperil elemental, but with imperil elemental 4+1 gets higher edb. Holy spell proc gives ~5% damage increase for 2nd+ attack, but id prefer increase for my first. Oak doesnt have destruction and katalox doesnt have counter-resist (only imperil prof a bit). Slightly higher T1 and T2 damage, but overall magic score anyway lower. And some side effects like longer cast speed and higher mp.

What about reroll holy and play no imp style?

With my budget i can play only something like hellfest no imp (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Thats mostly good only for tokens and a bit credits farm. Last time im just doing pf arenas. Good exp, solid profit and sometimes legendary drop.

What about reroll holy and play no imp style?

Don't you need to spend a whole lot for that to work? Holy is already very expensive, but to play without Imperil requires a huge amount of firepower to play on higher than ~Hell, right?

GF used to be profitable, and non-Imperil mage on low difficulty was great. But now, most income comes only from arenas, unless the player has also spent thousands and thousands of hath on Crystarium (and even then, profit is quite low in GF). So, maybe people are most attracted to high-difficulty arenas with Imperil, which makes Holy not so comparatively attractive... maybe?

Holy/dark vs elemental... I was thinking that cast speed was one of the one of the bigger disadvantages. But with high enough gear quality, forging, and perks, monsters will die very very quickly regardless, so it's not such a big problem if the player is rich enough to do that. Same thing with mana cost - it's a moderate problem if there's no forging, but with very high forged Wis and high damage (mana gems), it's not so bad. In other words, maybe rich Holy/Dark mage scales up better than rich Elemental. (But even if it scales up better, that doesn't mean one is necessarily absolutely better than the other at that point.) Just something I was thinking about.

Many uses holy, because its good in any case. Even uberforged elemental cant clear so fast with 3+2 no imperil. At the same time with imperil its still good. In my case it has no sense to reroll, because i wont get much benefits. But if i d only start with mage, than probably pick holy.

Here is a calculation to figure out the max value of the following equation

Another sad case...

That reminds me... I think we have a decent amount of info for 0.82+ ranges now. But the equipment comparison script is still outdated, and will remain so unless someone fixes it.

Should a fund be started to get someone to work on it?

Sounds like a good idea.

Can be bought for 10k from the item shop (it was 20k when they were introduced).

The price has changed? I didn't notice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

But it's good to have even a moderate Holy set for PFUDOR SG Arenas only. Moderate Holy pieces are not that pricey, and with a little bit of forging, they can be faster in the SG rounds than heavily forged Elementals. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Maybe. My semi-forged Elec is only barely faster than 1h on SG arenas - ~42m 1h vs ~35m elec on DwD. It was depressing.

Have you tried Holy in SG? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I was thinking because holy doesn't use destruction staff so imp style should be weaker than elemental? Then the obvious choice is to go no imp

Holy doesn't use Destruction? Are you blind? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

They do use destruction staff? But oak staff doesn't have destruction dont think its ideal.

Guys guys, I did some stats comparison O xO
Using staff gives about 35% more damage (staff proficiency included), while using 1h battlecaster gives 45% ish block AND parry (both wear clothes). Considering in higher difficulty mage uses more than half of their turns just to imperil and cure, isn't this quite a good trade ?

Can someone have a look at this please O xO ? I don't have a mage set so I can't try it out >"<

katalox do. they don't have counter-resist though

For me, it would mean:

Magic base damage goes from 3.4k to 2.4k
EDB goes from 250 to 200
Counter-resist goes from 20 to 0
Depreciating proficiency (aka Imperil counter-resist) goes from 1.46 ratio to 1.1
Elemental proficiency (aka Imperil counter-resist) goes from 1.45 ratio to 1.28
Mana conservation stays the same
Magic CC goes from 44.5 to 38
Lose 100 Wis, 65 Intel

Mage must kill quickly. Sacrificing half your firepower for more defense wouldn't be orth it.
