[X] My Assistant

Down here in the low-end, heavy works wonders, i'm getting extra turns on the monsters wearing full power armor. Then again, i'm probably below-level for all of those humanoids people have been complaining about with their 20-25 agi stats~

Gonna keep on truckin while it still works, because i hear when it's gone, it's gone forever~

i have to use blind for a hopeful chance of triggering channeling since most of my buffs can wear off (regen 2/AF) during my ET rounds (since i alternate between ET/killing rounds)

ETing while you kill a guy is much more advantageous for keeping buffs up imo since you keep channeling consistently to keep buffs on but the per round basis is more simple imo. it's basically like heal kill kill kill heal etc. rather than heal/kill every round.

as for bewilder, i think the tooltip on the status says they take more magic damage. not 100% sure

It's time for an overhaul, as I'm stuck on Hard or Heroic mode (and even on Normal mode for Endgame and onwards). Those Giants are really becoming a thorn in my side, and I'm currently hunting down some Kevlar to test out.

I'm also deathly afraid of getting one shotted by the Rares, even though I'm stacking buffs and debuffs on top of each other, they always somehow manage to crit me with their spirit attack for 3k+ on agitation. I can usually kill them on normal and maybe hard mode, but other than that, I usually have to use almost everything I have. I'm paranoid enough to keep bubble gum in my inventory just for dealing with it.

I'm starting to think I need to stack more Endurance, to make Regen more useful. The defense rating that Endurance supposedly gives isn't actually helping much at all, and I've upped my Endurance quite a bit from before.



On a side note, I did some calculations, and it appears that I can earn on average enough creds for 3 Hath a day. Add artifact drops and the other arenas I may unlock from here til then, and it'll probably take me close to 4 months to afford a Rainbow Aura (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) .

Which reminds me. What exactly does the power rating do for you? As far as I can tell, it doesn't really boost your damage, and the wiki doesn't really say much about what it actually does. If all Rainbow Aura can really do for me is boost my exp gains (unless the boosted regen rates apply inside of battles as well), I'd rather go for Innate Arcanas.

Edit: Also, I've run out of useful things to train, so I'm training Luck of the Draw. Does anyone actually use that?

I currently have 75 points in Adept Learner, 19 points in Ability Boost, 15 points in Scavenger, 2 points in Quartermaster, 4 points in Archaeologist, and one point in Refined Aura.

And Ballistic9, I think it's better to use Storms of Njord against Konata instead of soul...?
No, I'm not sure. Need to try that today.
Edit: It's about the same with my oak staff of heimdall. Different staff may have different result though.

In my Holy gear, SON does half of Soul Burst's damage for half the MP, so I figure I may as well speed it up. SON is slightly more mana efficient (268.5 vs 231.1 damage/MP for me last time I checked), but not enough to make it worth it imo. Your results may vary~

Could always throw a point into Spark of Life just for that sole purpose or stack up on Scrolls of Life. Poison also reduces their MP and SP gauge gain by 50%, saving you from damage over the long run.

Forum power. Increases your imbue power.

I've got it at level 10. I've noticed a ton of godly potions, that's about it. I'm not sure if that has to do with level or not. It sure hasn't made a difference in me finding Exquisite pieces (Note: still haven't found one to date).

I do. Only 3 put into it so far, but I plan on more. Helps to get Average and Fine gear. Haven't gotten a crude in a long time. Good potions too.

So I've been doing the first page Arenas on Nightmare using Holy/Darkness to raise my profs and admittedly it's pretty nice (especially the circular effect explosions).
My only gripe is that I seem to consume way too much mana. I need to use the first pot around round 10 if I don't proc Ether Theft (using elemental spells I can easily go up to round ~30-35).
Maybe I just need to get better equipment. Right now it takes me two Purge and one Pestilence to clear a round. Meh.

Funny. I only made it to 91/100 NORMAL schoolgirl run (lvl220 arena). Then I ran out of mana (11 pots used).

Time to train pack rat perhaps?

3/5 ATM.

I guess you do need the extra levels.

IIRC when I first attempted the schoolgirl arenas I didn't have black aura or IA3, and my gear wasn't as good as it is now. IA3 really helps with reducing buff recasting, especially if you need to ET. Plus I was doing the whole slow+weaken+bewilder+poison+nerf thing every round, and that ate up a lot of mana. Took around 30 min to finish with all the ET-ing.

Basically how it works is you cast magic missile once, hold down recast until CM appears, melee the mob until ET procs, hold down recast until CM appears again, wait until current ET expires then melee again until ET procs, repeat. Do the same with Soul Reaper to regen spirit.

I was wondering at which point gaining new levels becomes slower/harder.
Up till now I've been getting at least one level a day. I have gold aura, 5 other active auras (soon 6) and 92x Adept learner. I will get black or white aura around Christmas I guess.

I am melee =_____=

were you carrying div + storm infusions?

if so, you probably need a few more pack rats.

Okay, I keep seeing people talk about things like max EDB and such, and have no idea what it is. How exactly do you guys tell if a piece of equipment is considered good?

I need a Slaughter Void Estoc, that for sure >_<
So, lvl220, 240, 260 etc arenas consist of these schoolgirls aswell?

Sure do.

i have a question, dont you get any ability bar at lvl 120 ?
i have 12 bar's to use my ability's in, like i did in lvl 119 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
