So the staff really was no good...

I found this one in a shop, is it better? http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=b3029dc563

Only just barely, 64134056 is obsolete (meaning its stats are notably worse than modern gear) and its prefix is useless.

Maging in general will be quite tedious before level 310. At that point you get 0-cooldown 3-target Imperil, which is absolutely necessary for you to start feeling like you're playing at least somewhat efficiently.

The other problem is that one of the most important things for a mage to have is a good staff, but at low levels it's incredibly hard to find a matching staff in your level range, let alone one that isn't incredibly expensive, or Leg instead of Mag. There's a reason why most recommend against mage until someone gets to high level...

Is light+DW still a viable build?

the last several pages concerns me

Is light+DW still a viable build?

the last several pages concerns me

For high difficulty, it works once a player is past level 300-something and has enough innate tankyness from leveling up and abilities to endure the high incoming damage of high difficulty.

Though, the real issue is the weapon style, not the armor style. 1h has a whole lot more defense than DW, and players just starting to encounter the large PL curve (starting around level 160, ending around level 250-something) really need 1h in order to tank the tough monsters they have no experience fighting. Even on low difficulty, for someone below 250, I think 1h is near essential. DW eventually becomes viable again, but not until you're acclimated to high PL monsters.

don't know the exact sweet point, but when it does happen DW Shade is surely viable, yep. actually it's something like the second best melee style. surely not the fastest, but if there's a way to automatize Spirit Stance (there should be, right?) it doesn't require that much more attention than 1H. only one or two spells more.

Why can I unlock the first five levels of my force shield without a modulator? No other gear allows me to do that.

Because you already have some other stat leveled to 5, most likely. It's only required the first time you reach a new highest-forge level

but if there's a way to automatize Spirit Stance (there should be, right?)

No, you can't parse page data to decide the action that needs to be taken, so automatic spirit stance will always be bannable.

alright. then you can basically choose to either play a mindless non-Spirit Stance DW style or a usual Spirit Stance DW style. either way it's viable - only slower or faster.

How much is this [Legendary Mystic Phase Cap of Heimdall] worth?

Shade is the same way too. "Rare equipment types will also require a special component to upgrade. This component is only needed to increase the highest stat - if you previously spent five of them to increase a stat to Level 5 then every other stat can be increased to Level 5 without spending any additional rare components. "

If I'm understanding it right, you need to pay 1 rare for the first upgrade, then any other upgrade to that level doesn't require one. The days of upgrading the first 5 levels for free are gone. I'll know for certain once I get a fragment to test it.

A pretty decent amount. ADB EDB is top tier, level is reasonably low, and it has Jug 4.

How is ADB calculated?

Or is asking that going to get me the Einstein T-shirt? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm about to take this off.. Helmet and replace with a newly Jug5 Arcanist piece.

Should I just go ahead and salvage it and get the 90% of bindings/materials back, or should I hoard it?

You sure have money to burn, eh? Junking a Peerless helmet and replacing it with what, show us your newest Jug5 Arcanist. I'd hang on to the Peerless and look towards completing a SD/Fleet set and do some direct comparison between the Arcanist and SD/Fleet.

I can clear myself to zero in credits, Hath, and GP... go off to work for 10 hours..., and come back to 500,000 in combined Hath and GP.
By the end of the night, it's 650k combined... only to wake up to a new day of even more and knowing it's about to repeat.

So yeah... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have money to burn, and I burn it as fast as it generates. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Good Advice zen zen, I'll save it for a fleet set. That's an excellent idea. Thank you!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

4.5M per week, very nice! I have the Arcanist and Negation sets, working on the SD and Fleet sets (very slowly - don't have the kind of cash flow that you have). I know, a lot of the experts here thinks this is all just a waste of credits but what can you do play money except play! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

On your Arcanist set, what prefix were you trying for? Which is the best for Arcanist? Savage? Agile?

Edit: On the play thing. I think we all spend too much of our real lives being serious, and always trying to make the right decisions. It gets tiresome, but there's no way in real life to escape it.

I just flat out ain't gonna do that here on a game. If I screw up strategy daily here, that's fine. Who cares? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

None of my Arcanist have prefix - I just cobbled together a set, I hope to replace them all eventually with Savage prefix. Playing 1H Light, I'd want less agility but if I was playing DW Light, more agility may be more helpful.

Sold some loot at the bazaar yesterday and today I found that I'm missing my equipped chest armour afterwards..... Are unlocked equipment that you currently have on also counted when picking Sell All? D:

I died too fast earlier on Hell RE thinking leather just wasn't enough anymore but now I think it might be because of the missing chest.

Also, tried 1h/plate on Hell RE today too, so far so good. What armour type should I be aiming for at my level and are there other stats to prioritize aside from the phys/mag mitigation values?

nope. they are still here. rare armors have always been this way - they still need that rare item, but they still are free of bindings.

PABs. and ADB when you'll switch to Power armors. most likely these will have priority over mitigations
