I think I'll prioritize leg. rapier first if I were to spend quite a lot of credits. I won't be doing PF at all anyways with how slow my game is. And I'm still missing 2 leg. power armours as well so those are the first things on my list. I just wish I wont spend 300k for each since I'll be aiming for those with high adb rolls QUOTE(ppp82p @ Nov 21 2016, 00:34)  Not exactly whatever, a shield without both DEX and END is horrible (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Do you mean without both of those at the same time? or at least one of those?

I can gift you free leg power of prot/warding for any slot if you want , but you maybe need 25~50 more lvl to soulbind them (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

A shield without DEX is trash. A shield without END can be decent.

QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Nov 20 2016, 17:48)  Exactly that one.
oh. then i asked him immediately after he posted it. without going into further details, i remember he told me he wanted to return of the credits he spent. which isn't a bad thing on its own - obviously! - but if one buys at overinflated price because of auction fever, he cannot really expect to have all his credits back. with no offense meant for unindex, everyone did such a mistake at some point. QUOTE(Rhydin @ Nov 20 2016, 17:48)  Well, considering that Leg Shields always come with 3 PABs, your objection comes down to Mag Shields only, that are likely to offer non-optimal block to begin with. After level 300 or so, there's really no reason not to go with a Leg shield, unless you're on an absolutely tight budget and have no Soul Fragments at all.
QUOTE(IshimaruShun @ Nov 20 2016, 17:50)  Do you mean without both of those at the same time? or at least one of those?
i'm not him, but i guess it may be an ambiguity coming from language barrier. pretty positive he meant a shield without either of those two.

don't underestimate END. a good END roll on your shield can be an effect comparable to that of VV perk, which is worth 1.3M or so. just saying.

I would always choose SDA over DEA. Endurance is always good to have but sooner or later it doesn't help much, losing either STR or DEX has a pretty big impact on the damage. SDE >> SDA >>>> everything else (all crap) DEA is only good for 1H mage (so it needs to be a buckler).

SDA is just garbage (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) And no END means that your VV perk is basically doing the work of the END pab on shield, making itself useless (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

STR is overvalued. you're trading a VV-like effect for 100 ADB or so.

I use SDA peerless force shield.
SDA is good for high-level players. DEA is good for low-level players.
End is good for high-levels too, but almost doesn't affect a clear speed.

You are both over lvl 400 playing 1h, END and HPs are next to useless. Are you playing a different game where 1H sucks? Also take a look at your character stats, tell me the stat you have invested more points between STR, DEX and END. I'm pretty sure it's not END, so suggesting to giving up END instead of the, much better, STR or DEX is absurd. Also ppp82p's suggestions are kind of inconsistent, he always suggests keeping DEX = 1/2 STR and QUOTE(ppp82p @ Nov 20 2016, 18:27)  DEA, good SAE, trash
so DEX >>>> STR. Makes no sense. QUOTE(sssss2 @ Nov 20 2016, 19:34)  SDA is good for high-level players. DEA is good for low-level players.
Since low-level players usually don't have the luxury of choosing PABs (the higher the block the better (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)) I don't think there will ever be players searching for DEA shields. When you have the level and the credits needed to choose between good shield I would go for a SDE or a really exceptional SDA. Everything else would be a step down.

dang. you should've told me before i purchased VV perk. 250 hath wasted (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Nov 20 2016, 19:35)  Also take a look at your character stats, tell me the stat you have invested more points between STR, DEX and END.

as for me, armors are all on pair. so the difference is given by rapier and shield. STR: 10 + 6 DEX: 13 + 6 AGI: 5 + 0 END: 0 + 23 too bad, it seems it's really END (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) btw, the second sentence on this quote seems to negate what you affirmed until now: i remember you that "give up" can be translated like "rinunciare". did you actually mean what you wrote, sir? or it's me who are misunderstanding?

According to the wiki, items have an action speed of 0 which means "monsters don't attack after at all." Even though it says this, I still get knocked every so often when I use an item in PFUDOR. I know the monsters are faster, but wouldn't the 0 action speed of item usage ignore that? What's going on here? This post has been edited by faperu: Nov 20 2016, 23:25

What's going on here? Monsters get a turn immediately after recovering from stun. So if a monster is shown as no longer stunned on turn 36, then it *will* attack on turn 37, even if turn 37 takes 0 action time.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) No, it's because I started with giving up but then decided to switch to keeping because it was clearer. I forgot to change the verb though (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) For the above part I meant your allocated exp. I have: Strength 538 Dexterity 539 Agility 450 Endurance 528 Intelligence 400 Wisdom 505 And i could probably reduce wisdom and endurance because I don't really need them that high. 79.7 % physical mitigation 75.3 % magical mitigation 65.7 % block chance 66.1 % parry chance Even without the END from the shield they would still be high enough to play everything on pfudor with no problem. Basically as long as your level is high and shield/rapier good you don't really need more end, clear speed is not affected and monsters can't touch you anyway. Before level 350 END is somewhat just as useful as STR or DEX. Still, thinking of the end-game I would still prefer buying SDA because it would be more useful later.
