QUOTE(Chraunzen @ Nov 13 2016, 11:20)  New Wings - 75 Rounds in Hell Mode (IMG:[ i.imgur.com] http://i.imgur.com/wKLPwHt.png) If I'm not mistaken, in 19 minutes, I can clear Arena 110 (at Hell) with my Plate Set (ADB ~ 5300). From what you've posted before, I think you just need to improve your equipment. With that you can feel some difference.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Nov 13 2016, 08:44)  err , feel kinda slow to me especially your t/s (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) if my memory not wrong , you use 1H , right (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) how fast your ping to HV ? maybe you use too many scripts ? I only use 2 scripts when still use 1H in the past ~ reloader 1.3.3b plus Boulay HV theme ~ and that more than enough for me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I use 7 scripts, how do you know your ping?

open windows command prompt and type: ping hentaiverse.org(you can do copy/paste if you want). common consensuous here is that being in Europe, thus near HV servers (which are in Netherlands) usually leads to low pings (for example, i live in Italy and my ping towards HV isn't so different from my ping towards Google) and this is automatically enough to have high t/s, so bear with it.

I'm using dualwield + leather. Rapier of Slaughter + Shortsword of Balance for Arenas (50% parry), sometimes Club of Balance for RoB (34% parry). [ imgur.com] http://imgur.com/a/Ft22L (the fappy shortsword is an exquisite ethereal balance) I have cleared all arenas up to my level in Nintendo difficulty and some in PFUDOR. But with constant Spark of Life on and several mana potions per arena, up to several dozen potions with those lv 150+ arenas. I'm feeling the monsters can 1-hit me pretty easily, especially when I'm against 6-7 of them. I have nearly no difficulty clearing RoB at IWBTH, haven't tried PFUDOR yet 'cos no tokens, but I guess if I can clear IWBTH easily, then PFUDOR shouldn't be too hard. I don't even use health and mana potions in RoB, only draughts and spirit potion in case I get 1-hit during Spark of Life. So can you guys recommend any build that may make arenas less "expensive" to clear? Most credits earned from arenas and selling drops are spent on mana potions.

Here's a tip from my part, don't use mana potions, use mana draughts (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) and get IA 2 or 3 I am no pro but this is just common sense, if you're struggling in IWBTH, just lower the difficulty to Hell, I can probably complete all my arenas in IWBTH but the time spent would be... A lot, so it's not a good option, try to do this... Play in a way where you can complete Arenas in a decent time, while maintaining high (hard+) difficulty, I personally suggest Nightmare or Hell (for the leg/peer drops).

gosh, looking at those comments above produce a strong urge for me to power leveling..
Cuz those Exqs and Sups (which drop more frequently now since I go Nightmare) dropped and at most 2 PAB, now still forced to use lv70+ stuff which gives 4 PAB (pre 0.82), dangit.
Now was thinking whether to invest Better Regen , 5 more mana but only 2 more rounds of duration (and yes, better healing, but seriously, is the points and mana cost worth it?)

Most credits earned from arenas and selling drops are spent on mana potions. if you're ready to change style - thus farming prof from zero again among other things - then undoubtly Rapier + Shield + Power armors has the upper hand nowadays. if you really want to stick with DW for reasons (whatever they are), then either Club of Slaughter/Rapier of Balance or Rapier of Slaughter/Waki of Nimble + Shade armors. if possible Shade of Fleet/Shadowdancer and try to keep overall BUR < 7 either way, all weapons nowadays should have at least a prefix.

relatively high, i'd say. did you already try Reloader?

IA2 on the other hand is almost a need in this meta. This post has been edited by Scremaz: Nov 13 2016, 18:20

lol I'm no Kirito (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) it's just when I started playing hv, I thought something like "double the swords, double the damage, thus, half clear time" then it turned out to be different (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but farming prof for both new weapon and armor type seems kinda tedious. can I just spam grindfest until I run out of stamina?

Innate Arcana perks. they unlock a certain number of slots in which you can place some supportive spells which will be automatically casted at the start of every turn (and with a bit of mana reduction). as i wrote in my previous comment (i edited while you posted, tbh) in this build of the game IA2 is almost a need, but it costs 150 Hath total (including 50 Hath for the first level). IA3 in comparison is "only" very useful, but it's worth another 250 Hath, so it can wait a bit.

As Scremaz already suggested, for smooth clearing 1H + Shield is the way to go. The drawback here is that you'll need to acquire almost an entire new equipment set (though 1H + Light Armor should still be okay while transitioning, until you've managed to get a full set of Power Armor). If you're looking to improve your DW setup, a couple option spring to mind: - IW your rapier to 10, making it Hollowforged (Void damage + Void Strike) which will greatly increase your damage output - replace your rapier with a prefixed one for an additional Elemental Strike (though you'd likeley have to settle for Exquisite then, Mags are pretty rare in your level range) - switch your offhand Shortsword for a Waki (preferably with Nimble suffix) for much better Parry at the cost of offhand strike chance and some damage
