So heaviest armor/highest interference +burden, equip staff, cast dep? Gotcha, thanks.
The reason why I feel scan is not as good as defend/focus is because you have to click twice, and I really don't want to do that T.T

You can use CracklingCast and have "Scan" as the Hover attack, if you wanted to do the scan thing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) but the suggestions to train other proficiencies like dep or staff prof at the same time would be better than the Scan method.

Pick up my reloader, add at the top of var Actions before fus ro dah this line:
"Scan": [1, 'magic', 1011],
Then set your attack on hover to 'Scan' and enjoy scanning everything, i guess.

Or just use CC and set your attack on hover to 'Scan'.

Or just bash everyone with a Fair/Average Staff for minimal damage and Staff prof like you're going to do, it would be better.

IW and Grindfest are much more difficult than normal arenas (IW is also tied on the quality of the equipment you are doing IW off).
Check this.

Monsters in Arenas are fixed at 100% damage throughout, but Monsters in Item Worlds start at 100% damage and this increases by ~2% per round. Also, I don't think Arenas have as many monsters per round as Item Worlds? And the School Girls in the last 3 Arenas are really weak hitters, they're more like large sacks of health that give you time to regen your HP, MP, SP etc. between each round. https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Arena https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Item_World

Monsters get stronger in IW and Grindfest every round.

Oh, so ability points, not mastery points. That's good.

Basically, use your AP on everything related to your playstyle that you use. Eg. weapon proficiency, armor proficiency, buff potency/duration, etc. Eventually you'll probably need 50+ extra AP to fill out everything useful.

I have six Mastery point,
And I dual wield anything i can find.
What is the pros and cons of dualwielding and Twohanded?
My profiency with Duel wielding is 26
nada for everything else

With Dual wielding, you occationaly proc offhand strike. For Two-Handed, you do alot of melee aoe dmg at the sacrifice of defense.

You can make your own judgement on what fighting style you want to use, any specific pros and cons can be found from the wiki.
https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Fighting_Styles

Your low enough in level to let you switch to any style without hindering you in any way. Switching between fighting styles after 200ish can get tedious when you got zero proficiency in the fighting style you jumped into.

Don't click, hover.

If you're not doing it already, I'd recommend you to spam Scroll of Protection+Swiftness+Shadows. It really makes a big difference compared to the regular spells. For my part it allows me to survive decently 84 rounds of IW in Nintendo difficulty, and it also helps in managing my mana easier.

Not only are the monsters tougher every round, but starting off round 24/25 all the rounds contain between 7 and 9 monsters, which is more than the average arena. And like ctaglack said, the SGs greatly help in recovering after killing the few monsters every round.

PS:
Yesterday, during my IW in Nintendo, I've been critted by a monster's spirit attack that dealt as much damage as FSM's spirit in Hard. OUCH: 11-12kHP in my face.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I do not, I tap like one (laptop touchpad, Yeah, I know it's a monster name too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)). Do scrolls help that much with that? You have two options for mana recovery, elixirs and potions, that cool down after 40 turns, which should be enough, right? Then again, you did say that it makes it easier.

Do mages use spirit shield? Should they? I've seen everywhere that they don't, but why shouldn't they? You should have a number of extra AP left over to up that at the very least.

Do mages use spirit shield? Should they?

Yes, 100% of the time on high difficulty for low level players, and most of the time in other situations anyway

Well, clicking, tapping, it's the same. If most high level players use Reloader or something similar, it's to attack simply by hovering.

As for the efficiency of scrolls:
-Protection: regular spell is 30% mitigation, scroll is 50%
-Swiftness: spell is 50% speed, scroll is 60%
-Shadows: spell is 25% evade, scroll is 30%

In terms of survivability, you really feel the difference. You attack a bit faster, you soak much less damage. In terms of mana, you also feel like you're casting Cure less often, you use less mana potions. In terms of keeping the buffs up, if you use all 3 scrolls at the same time, they all expire at the same time and you cannot possibly miss it, so you renew them all at once aswell and you spend less time worrying about your buffs.

It results in the battles feeling safer and you clearing them a lit a bit faster.

For the spirit shield, it depends on how easy things are for you. If you think that you can do all your battles without risking your Spark to kick in (too often), then go ahead and don't use it. If the battles are really tough for you, then you must use it.

This kind of things is up to one's own judgement. Everyone builds his own experience.

Speaking of Spark, does a Spark trigger cause equipment damage? I never quite understood it, is it counted as a loss, then a revive, or not a loss at all?

Spark saves you from death, so no death. And no extra damage to equip. Spark is good. I like spark.

No it doesn't damage the equipment nor count as a loss at all. Otherwise my poor leather set would be completely worn out. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
That being said, I highly recommend to have spirit potions equipped in an item slot, because you don't want to have spark unavailable due to not enough spirit after it kicked in once.

Any advice for what I should get next as a hath perk?

I've got 6k hath atm.


The ones I've got already are:
- Health and magic tank increases
- Resplendent Regeneration
- Soul Catcher
- 2 levels of the exp increase one
- 4 innate arcana
- 1 Crystarium
- 1 Tokenizer
- Dæmon Duality

enigma energizer? not that big, but still a little improvement in clearspeed.
maybe token 2?
converting them in credits?

don't know, if you play as a melee it seems to me you're already good to go (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Any advice for what I should get next as a hath perk?

What style are you playing?
Are you interested in switching to something else in the future?
How much are you playing each day?

Crystarium II and III are a safe recommendation regardless.

Yeah, before now I always had something I was saving for but suddenly it seemed like I finished all the ones I really needed.

I thought about converting them into credits but it makes me so sad to think that the conversion rate was 16k per hath when I left the game for a while... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I'm currently 1H + shield melee but I've always dreamed of setting up a mage persona. I just keep putting it off based on the time and effort it would take, haha.

I play enough to keep my stamina around 85-90 most days I guess. I usually don't do more than the natural regen since energy drinks are pricey.
