QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 19 2016, 02:13)  Lol, i'm actually already searching for it, check my WTB, the link is in my signature. Send me a PM if you have some stuff to propose to me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I forgot that we can do that. Should've advertised my wtb thread through signature too (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 18 2016, 18:58)  If you want me to talk from experience, 1H Leather at my level isn't so good (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) If i play at Nintendo or higher a pair of solid hits is enough to send my HP in the red (i'm still using it though, for now). ah! thank you for your feedback. may i ask you exactly which mobs and which hits are bringing you in the red? also, do you use haste and/or shadow veil? spike shield? which other buffs?

I'm going off of memory, so i don't remember well right now, but usually they are Spirit attacks of whatever mob, if i don't remember wrong. Next time i do a RE i'll do it at higher difficulty, to give you more info. Edit: Buffs i use: Innate Arcana Haste, Regen, Protection with Flame Spike Shield, Spark of Life, maybe even Shadow Veil if i see they're fucking me up hard. Edit Edit: Ah yes, Heartseeker too. Edit Edit Edit: The even Sleep on enemies if i still can't handle it (i have it maxed so 3 enemies sleeping). This post has been edited by gianfrix94: Nov 18 2016, 20:27

if we're speaking about SP attacks (especially from magical mobs like Celestials, Sprites etc) and you are using Plate armors, then you'll be quite fucked, rather than simply in the red. reason is that Heavy armors completely lack Resist chance, so you should pair them at least with a high enough Block chance. otherwise, there's no point in having high ADB. dead men tell no tales (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 18 2016, 19:23)  Edit: Buffs i use: Innate Arcana Haste, Regen, Protection with Flame Spike Shield, Spark of Life, maybe even Shadow Veil if i see they're fucking me up hard. Edit Edit: Ah yes, Heartseeker too.
oh. hmmm... try to put Spark on IA and manually cast Haste only if needed (pretty much like Shadow Veil), just to see if the number of counter-hits will raise or not.

Just stopped using 1h + light after reaching 300 prof on light armour. The biggest problems for me were the magic and sp attacks that somehow manage to hit me. The usual suspects were Celestials and dragons since its always holy, piercing and/or fire that get me. I mostly use SS, haste, protection and health draught for my runs.
So far my only reason for death was accidentally clicking a monster after 2-4 consecutive magic/sp attacks hit me when I forget to cast SS/Spark back when I didn't have IA or only had IA1 for SS. I think I only died from normal attacks once though. RNG really hated me back then to make evade and parry fail for a few turns

i'll assume that 1H + Light was still useful until lv300 then. which difficulty? and your Block? plus, same suggestion as above: try to replace Haste with Spark and manually cast Haste only when needed.

QUOTE(Nguoivohinh @ Nov 18 2016, 13:06)  Somehow crackling cast boost my speed to 2t/s, so... yeah, why not I also got bugged when I use reloader sapo version with CC, the way to solve that is to change the Mouse Melee in reloader to False, and it should be fine Also I'm already using power armor right now, too OP You should also transition to power armor soon, at 250. I already have some pieces of equips ready to sell to you (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) If you have anything for me, I'm listening (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm looking for a specific thing in my WTB post. Anyways, I was wondering, Adept Learner is at 110/300 right now, should I get it to 200/300? It's going to cost ~1m to do so, but I'm having a hard time leveling up now, and I can't really grind that much anymore because of RL situations, what do you guys recommend? It's not like leveling up is necessary but some of the gear I'll use need Lv350-400.

I'm searching for Shielding right now, so lack of resist won't be a problem i guess. If i put on Spark instead of Haste i die far easier, i tried it before, being faster lessens damage taken a lot.

As i know Adept Learner is pretty useful for leveling.

Level 200 = hard difficulty with crappy sup. rapier and 31% block shield = assuming newbies learn quickly about IW and upgrades, they should be able to do Hell/Nintendo already at that time with IW'd+forged rapier and a forged shield Somewhere around level 260 = hell difficulty with IW+forged mag rapier and crappy 31% shield (yea I was really unsure of upgrades before) Level 270+ = Nintendo with same rapier and a 36% block force shield (I should be at IWBTH now if it weren't for my crappy ping and ultrabook) QUOTE(Scremaz @ Nov 19 2016, 02:38)  plus, same suggestion as above: try to replace Haste with Spark and manually cast Haste only when needed.
Already done with 1h + light now though so I'll only be using light to up my DW prof (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The big problem now is how to survive hell with 6+ enemies per round @_@

As I said, I need lv350-400 for the gear I have (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) to be able to soulfuse it... Not just use it, the gear are very high leveled. Right now I can't even soulfuse them despite having 1200 fragments, I'm not within the level range.

Then I don't see any problem with getting more AL levels. Do it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Easy to get those back with trophy prices suddenly increased by blackjack Spoiler text - Highlight to read... thanks jenga

Getting Adept Learner is a good choice, then.

good luck into finding them. i never found them to be too common, but maybe i wasn't looking in the proper places (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 18 2016, 19:55)  If i put on Spark instead of Haste i die far easier, i tried it before, being faster lessens damage taken a lot.

oh, very good. grind until 40 and unlock silence, it will make wonders with its ability. hurry up!

uh, alright. your shield is quite bad, i'd say. not for no reason you're trying to replace it. well, return to your old way of doing things - including IA, difficulty, whatever. but unlock silence anyways, it *will* be useful. [edit]: oh, and your Parry is quite low. how many of your armors are missing DEX? This post has been edited by Scremaz: Nov 19 2016, 01:19

Yeah, i'll unlock Silence and while i'm at it Confuse too. On my whole set of 7 pieces, only 2 pieces don't have DEX. This post has been edited by gianfrix94: Nov 19 2016, 01:24
