QUOTE(buktore @ Sep 7 2011, 22:03)  @ 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.
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)

QUOTE(Randommember @ Sep 8 2011, 04:21)  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.
For light armor, shield works better on kevlar than shade.

Ah much thanks! Karma+ once my gauge is full QUOTE(Koudesu @ Sep 7 2011, 21:50)  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.
You got to be careful. Leprechaun females are very large! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by frostyb2003: Sep 7 2011, 22:36

QUOTE(buktore @ Sep 7 2011, 22:31)  (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. This post has been edited by roadgray: Sep 7 2011, 22:38

QUOTE(roadgray @ Sep 7 2011, 21:26)  I've been trying out this mace http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=ff9b989323with the same setup I have in my signature. While the stun and damage certainly is nice, I really miss my shield (especially on the higher difficulties). So my question: What about clubs? How do they compare to maces? I could equip a shield with it and not feel as naked as I do now. I've been able to do insane single-target damage with Club + Swordchucks (regular 10k crits are niiiiiiiice) and have also tried Club + Shield, but ultimately you kill rounds so much slower that you'll run out of mana a lot quicker. Even with my good old pre-nerf 31% Block Kite shield, I kind find much going for the old Sword and Board (sans the Sword, these days). I have reluctantly moved onto the Mace just like everyone else. Traded in 100 monster trophies for Two-handed weapons in hopes for one, but all Snowflake gave me was a better Ethereal Estoc. The gods are mocking me.

Everyone who wants to buy one has to get past MiAla first.

I don't mean an ethereal one though. It's nice to have but not a necessity.

QUOTE(buktore @ Sep 7 2011, 23:14)  [ s3.amazonaws.com] http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/....gif?1314500041Seriously, though, that was nice. But gods sure is mocking you. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) You wait and see! Tenboro will buff armor next patch and Estocs will be viable again, mark my words! Anyway, my non-Ethereal Mace does just fine in Heroic even if them Randomly Generated Mazes, Uselesses, and Fat Bottomed Girls are a bit of a pain to take down. Finding a Ethereal whose quality justifies the upgrade in this market is not something my pocket-book desires.
