Yeah, I run reloader. I've been away from HV for 2 years so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm doing something wrong at this point seeing as how much things have changed.

Here's my current stats

(IMG:[i.imgur.com] http://i.imgur.com/jtTKB0a.jpg)

Is that the script that does an action by hovering over a monster? If it is, how does that help? I tried it but ended up killing myself because it kept clicking when I needed to stop for a potion and such.

Your current stats: you don't need intelligence for 1h. your rapier is excellent!
Mage: Focus staff is not the best.

Cracling cast is much much more than just hovering. all potions and stuff pop up when needed and mousewheel takes them. And then some more awesome stuff. Use crakling cast + reloader - I use that non-vanilla one.

At level 387, and 15m to spend, holy mage (non-Imperil) will probably be pretty difficult on high difficulties, but not impossible. Elemental mage will be significantly easier as well as less expensive.

Or, you might try 1h mage.

@Super He should probably stick with imperil for PFUDOR.

Haha wow, I really have no idea how to mage anymore. Is there somewhere to read up on the basics of the playstyle? The guide on the wiki is sort of short and vague.

Mage isn't that bad right now. Before it was basically spam 1 spell forever (tier 3 iirc)

Now it's spam tier 3, spam tier 2, spam tier 1 (on weak things) and cast imperil on strong things.

For example. When I play hard I just hover my mouse over the monsters (that're still alive) and press spacebar once in a while.

When I play PFUDOR I have imperil hotkeyed via CracklingCast so I press 2, 5, 8 (casting imperil on monster 123, 456, 789) and then spamming them with my dmg spells.

The CracklingCast script helps you with most of that stuff.

That does sound nice compared to killing things one by one like I do now.

Gotta ask the experts (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Basically for mage play, pick elemental for cheap but needs a debuff called Imperil to maximize or holy/dark for straight up offensive magic but WAY more expensive

For elemental, you pick 1 element to focus on for maximum damage: Best would be Lightning/Wind > Ice > Fire

The gear of choice is a mix of 3 or 4 Phase of element for more damage and 1 or 2 cotton of elementalist for increasing chances of dealing 100% damage (enemies have defenses that let em take only 25% or 50% of your total damage)

I'd go more into detail but I'm still learning and buying mage gear as well so I'll leave the rest of that to the other experts. Also, I'll be going out soon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Ask more about forging here as well, you really need to forge your gear (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, I went and boosted mine some when you pointed out that below level 5 doesn't need bindings anymore. I don't have many materials though, so it's probably gonna take a while to make progress.

It doesn't help that all 36 of my monsters were reset either...I haven't gotten around to renaming them all.

mmm you probably don't need to forge your gear if you plan on doing PFUDOR intermittently and primarily staying with lower difficulties.

the more you forge your gear, the more viable you become in PFUDOR and the faster you'll kill.

at this moment in time, the most time efficient PFUDOR venture for you is the random encounter and ring of blood. other than that you can probably just do stuff on hard/nightmare/hell/etc

I don't have many materials though, so it's probably gonna take a while to make progress.

Yes, it's a good idea to consider all credits and items as fluid - helps clearer thinking.

If an equip is good enough to be worth forging some, go ahead and do it as long as it's not too costly.

I'm currently trying to upgrade my magnificent and legendary power armor equipment and one-handed weapons and shields. Is there any easier way to go through the item worlds, and is there any way to know the number of rounds necessary to complete beforehand?

I'm level 342, one-handed, power armor user btw.

@amped: before turning to mage (which isn't a bad thing on its own, but if you don't know what you're doing you may end throwing away a bunch of credits), i suggest you to:
1. fully IW your Rapier
2. switch your Shade armors to Power ones. Mag-grade Slaughter and Leg-grade non-Slaughter Savage should be cheap enough yet already useful to give you a hint of improvements. for example, i'm running a Leg Savage, 3 Mag Slaughter Savage and one Leg Slaughter and i can do pretty much everything. it's only a bit time consuming
3. your shield? block seems a bit low. is it a new-gen Mag~Leg Force Shield (which is the class with the highest availablilty)? you can see it by checking if its EID is higher than 67M. is it forged? matrixes nowadays are dirty cheap, you can afford to go at least to lv25. these two things together should bring you between 55~60% Block Chance

for robs, it should be the same. for arenas, just avoid the 1k round penalty at low difficulties - basically, play a bit on hell and above - and you should be fine.

Erm... when one does all the arenas one after the other, the 1k penalty doesn't kick in before the forelast SG arena...
Assuming you haven't made any other fight before, of course. And even if you do all the arenas, it's still makes "only" 1264 rounds, which is far below the 2000 maximum, and also below the total of 1440 daily "recover" of that limit.
Even once at 1264 rounds, even in Normal difficulty, the penalty only remains minor.

In other words:
Who gives a shit about that limit, when one doesn't do any grandifest/itemworld besides? My only recommendation, is that IF you want to do some GF or IW besides, then yes it needs to be Hell+ difficulty. That limit has obviously been thought to prevent abuses, not to harm players who play the game fair.

For the Rapier what Potencies should I be going for? I read somewhere that Overpower isn't very good so I was planning to amnesia shard it while it's still at a low level and start over.

I'll definitely look into some power armor since people seem to be recommending that now. I probably avoided it back when I last played because the number of mana potions you could have was limited, but that's not an issue anymore.

As for the shield, it's crap. I threw on the best force shield I had lying around, but I really need to replace it, yeah. 55-60% block chance sounds amazing.

I've got some high-end trophies laying around that I could use to try and roll some nice equip, but I've been holding off on using them since I haven't checked if they're rare or not yet.

Fatality and Butcher - though i don't know exactly in which order. it shouldn't make that big of a difference.
one or two levels of Overpower aren't bad - especially if you plan to use it for DW as well and don't want to waste too many shards. just avoid Swift at the start and keep Overpower low, and everything else is fine.

exactly. the bonus ADB and the reduced Evade is well worth a couple of potions here and there.

55~60 with a bit of forging. not on its own. but forge is best applied (read: the amount of credits spent is optimized) when you start from higher rolls. btw, if you have a few fragments laying around, there's a nice force shield on kedama's auction without starting bids.

is there anything i need to set or something?

i tried to use cracklingcast and reloader at the same time.
and i keep hitting mobs on low hp and ended up dying for it.

while using only one, it will prevent me from doing so.

Deactivate the Hover-feature in Reloader when using it together with CracklingCast:

Line 47 should look like this then

CODE

mouseMelee: false

edit: another question. how do i use more than 1 skill when num is used? currently i change OFC to Great Cleave. how to add Rending Blow so it will be used after Great Cleave if i press num again?

Try

CODE

num     : ['Rending Blow', 'Great Cleave'],

Is legendary drops for arena clears very low? I've read the drop rolls, it said that legendary drops are low even on normal. Which is grammatically confusing to me as it implies that normal is the hardest, if it said "even on pfudor" it would make sense to me as pfudor is the highest difficulty. English is my second language.


does peerless only available through lottery?

To drop Legendary/Peerless equips from monsters you need to play at least at Hell difficulty. However, Arena Clear Bonus can still give you Legendary/Peerless even if you play on Normal.
