It's 11.7% atm with 147+26 dex.

Sounds a bit low to me. You need more than that.

Up till now I was mainly using 1h or dual wield so 2H came a little short.
I'll be doing the daily arenas with the mace from now on. Will take a while to catch up I guess.

It's 11.7% atm with 147+26 dex.

From my experience as a shade user, you need decent evade to work well with parry/resist.
If you are using kevlars, their evade chances tend to be quite low.
So you have to decide for yourself: to be a tank, or not.

The higher crit chance the safer you are, given that you are macing. This partly explains why shadowdancers are so valuable.

Do crit rates override hit rates? The one problem I have with macing is that I'm starting to have long strings of missed attacks.

And yes, I may just switch back to shade armor if the haste thing works out.

@ roadgray

It might not be a bad idea to wait until you get Heartseeker before going 2H ... It help a lot.

I would recommend you to stick with your eth rapier and get a high block shield if you want to stay with 1H.

Just my 2 cent...


@ Koudesu

Haste is a standard-issue support spell for every non-bleed and non-1H user.

The other thing is to keep burden below 20 ... This is the other reason why eth is awesome. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Without my mace's burden, I'd have 23.7 burden in total. Right now I have 38.6, and my action speed is 150.1 with 150 agi. I suppose I'd better start raising it soon.

Yes, heartseeker is great.
Sadly I don't have an ethereal mace, but I manage to keep my burden at 19 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I never thought I would actually need it so I never go and grab some... But if nothing change in the near future, I seriously need to get myself a few shadowdancer piece ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Not in a hurry, though, since for now, I seem to be fine.

YOUR MONSTER TAKES TOO LONG TO KILL.

Edit: Also, I'd like for you to rename your monster to something more appropriate as Giants =/= leprechauns.

Ahem.

I was actually thinking I'd start using Haste over Shield, as faster turns = more regen ticks = more stun procs before the enemy moves = less chance of the enemy ever landing a hit on me = more hits I can get in before stun wears off.

Edit: My 2H prof is 103.13 atm, and my light armor prof is...96.02 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Yah, I've switched my auto-cast from shield to haste.
Not only has shield become weaker since the patch (probably has to do with the fact that absorption now sucks) but with the increased damage the best way to avoid damage is to kill them quick, which haste helps with.
And of course, getting more attacks then then really does this and a higher chance of stunning them from more attacks and that the stun lasts longer relative to your number of actions make it an easy choice.

I was thinking about the shield choice for a while now. Do you think I should switch to a Kite or even Tower Shield?

Yeah...your god-like kevlar set is serving you well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

For light armor, shield works better on kevlar than shade.

You got to be careful. Leprechaun females are very large! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) That's terribly nice from you.
I would take the average bronze Kite shield of the barrier if that's ok.
