QUOTE(Scremaz @ Jan 14 2017, 14:42)  if nothing else, because it would be only a niche sector, not worth building a whole set around, right?
Well, you grind prof only once, so who cares which is the best equipment for it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) And, as I was saying, the frugal problem is the bad rolls. Spellweaver 5 gives +7.34% casting speed Peerless charged robe gives 4.06% casting speed Economizer 5 gives 25% mana conservation Peerless frugal robe gives 4.11% mana conservation Eco is not a bad potency and I would recommend that for low level when you may have mana problems, frugal's rolls are simply too bad to even consider it a good prefix. There is really no way around that. Before I said 2x but actually after re-checking the rolls it needs to be 3x or 4x to be useful. QUOTE(Larequirem @ Jan 14 2017, 14:52)  But hell I still 1H light after all that expert "1H power" advice
It's not that 1H light is not viable, it's just slower.

Not that you can reasonably improve on Pen 5 Spellw 3 - that's a great combination, and getting more perfection would be incredibly difficult and not worth it - but Eco remains a bad potency for pretty much everyone.

My new (1H) rapier What should I aim for as IW potencies? I thought it was Fat+butcher, but (I think) I've seen a lot of people look for OP (or maybe that's for other playing styles) This post has been edited by --------------------: Jan 14 2017, 17:33

A mix of luck with drops and kindness from a few people ;D Then I bought a GS with creds. Now I'm in debt for 9 more weeks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) Oh and I got my GS just this Thursday (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by -Shun-: Jan 14 2017, 18:43

I don't see much different in clearspeed for nin/hellfest with spell ~ maybe spell is more useful at IWBTH/PFfest but at nin/hell , not much different , super (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

I used to have a perfect IW'd LARD pen5 spelw4 - but I traded it for a 'meh' IW'd LARD pen5 eco4. But I'm not gonna reforge. I do notice some speed difference, though: about 10 minutes more for a IWBTH-fest. But on the other hand, the better ADB/EDB + full forge allows me to reach 700+ rounds of PF-fest without dying. I won't reforge, because I don't have any good enough equipment to play IW with when I IW this staff.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Having OP2 at IW3 means he's going to get a lot more than a couple OP levels (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) If he wants a good IW he should reforge, and But gives a lot of additional ADB on a Slaughter Rapier with good ADB roll so it's a must.

Mostly because it's only a waste of time to do the 4th level if he doesn't like current potencies? It's true though that for DW it would be a pretty good IW start.
