Or should i reset? which style? 1H or DW? if it's an offhand for DW, then it's perfect. mainhand for DW, good. if it's for 1H it's a bit less than optimal, but you can still go on since you won't use it forever This post has been edited by Scremaz: Nov 17 2016, 22:16

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Nov 17 2016, 14:19)  i bet on this. separate rolls for separate mobs. Indeed QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 17 2016, 20:08)  I'm IWing this weapon: Magnificent Tempestuous Rapier of the NimbleAnd as you can see i got Fatality and Overpower as first two potencies. Should i go on, and maybe hope to get Butcher too? Or should i reset? Fatality is good. Overpower is meh, but that's fine. The main benefit of IWing, that far outshines everything else, is just getting to level 10 in the first place (changes damage type to Void and adds an extra strike) - and even just that, for you, will likely be quite difficult. So I wouldn't worry about specific potencies at all, at least not until level 320+ or so. (Eg. the difference between +0.5% clear speed and +1.0% clear speed from having one potency instead of another is tiny compared to +25% clear speed from IW10)

Should i go on, and maybe hope to get Butcher too? Or should i reset? I'd say reset till you get the Fata - Butcher combo. Partly the reason is because in our level range (200-300) it's hard to get a really good Rap. I can also do the IW10 for you, with 10-20% discount based on the cheapest IW service out there (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) With it, you should be able to do Nintendo level stuff as a cake walk (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I'd say that it would be less optimal to have a rapier of the nimble as a DW mainhand compared to 1H weapon (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) 1H with nimble has its sense in some ways. Putting a rapier in mainhand for DW has sense only if slaughter, you're already killing the adb enough with the rapier+waki combo (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Why do MMs sometimes glitch? I tend to see 1 or 2 MMs in the upper right of my screen (the MM icon), but when I check my mail, nothing's there... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif) is there someway to fix this?

I know the main benefit is Void Strike, but since this weapon will likely follow me till level 300+, i'd like it to be at his best too (same reason i already reforged it once, since i had got Swift Strike) QUOTE(Scremaz @ Nov 17 2016, 21:53)  if you cannot find a Slaughter, then you go with what you can find. i'd go even with Banshee if the other option would be not to have PA proc. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) "Banshee" Ew, no. (Source: I have one.)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) That, really. In the low 200's players can't be too picky about their gears yet, or they may find themselves grinding in Superiors and Exquistes for another 100 levels or so (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Nimble might not be the preferred suffix for a DW-mainhand weapon, but still falls under the "useful" category. With it's lvl 5 ADB forging, we're even looking at ~Mmin ADB values (Slaughter category), which isn't too shabby at all.

I'd put Rapier suffixes in this order for usefulness for what i know, correct me if i'm wrong: Slaughter>Nimble>Balance>Battlecaster. I basically almost spent the same in forge upgrades as i spent for the weapon itself, i'd hope it isn't shabby now (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i was just saying. QUOTE(Rhydin @ Nov 17 2016, 22:18)  That, really.

With it's lvl 5 ADB forging, we're even looking at ~Mmin ADB values (Slaughter category), which isn't too shabby at all. aye. most important thing nowadays is to have PA on one weapon. good thing about low levels is that stats scale so little that a comparison between a Slaughter vs. a non-Slaughter may give almost-negligible results.

Moreover, i'm not soulfusing until i reach the level it's at, or really need it, for not wasting the small quantity of Soul Fragments i have.

I think you should save your time and monies by just lvling that rapier into max lvl to get void strike (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Should I just shrine my trophies or sell them? last time I shrined ~300 trophies for one hand weapon I didn't even get a single Magnificent. @gianfrix94 I agree with getting void strike as priority. I'm still using this crap http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=3f69057208 and I can survive PFUDOR RE. void strike is OP. This post has been edited by Kiriman1: Nov 18 2016, 09:13
