QUOTE(End Of All Hope @ Feb 17 2017, 14:59)  Not much difference between non ethereal and ethereal after you've done IW10 on both. The difference is the interference and burden on non-ethereal, but it's not a problem for 1h heavy style.
So go for slaughter over any other suffix.
sounds good, thanks

QUOTE(DJNoni @ Feb 17 2017, 15:43)  I'm a bit sad from looking at Super's auction. A couple of weeks ago I spent 20m+ on a charged robe of milfheim, and now there are two very good, one even near perferct, radiant robe of nipleheims for sale. And the highest bid at this moment is less than 2m!?! I'd only trust the final numbers - unfortunately, quite a lot of people wait till the very end to bid their true value, which sometimes results in wild differences in price in only a few minutes. (a side note - personally, I'd probably prefer Charged over Radiant for elemental mage using Imperil who play high difficulty GF, since additional damage isn't so useful for a well-equipped player, but faster action speed is always very useful given incoming damage) QUOTE(DJNoni @ Feb 17 2017, 15:43)  And who's idea was it to put those two great radiants robes in the same auction? My fault, I shouldn't have listed them both. I'm already spending an hour or so each time parsing the mediocre equips and checking SmartSearch for their viability so I can figure out exactly which ones I can return (and then I recompile the list and repeat until I don't see anything obvious to remove), and I haven't really felt motivated to spend time on further micromanagement. (and then for the people who reply and complain, I have to show them why their stuff is junk, which feels bad) Yeah, I know, "having to spend an hour" setting it up is probably an odd thing for an auctioneer to be pressured by, but I don't have a lot of free time I want to spend on HV (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Dex is definitely too low. Evade is a bit low too...I guess because mag gear/low level/low forge/all three?

Wisdom is mana regen, but you should still use pots and draughts

Some questions about monsterlab. 1.Which type of monsters is the most efficient? 2.More weak monsters or a couple of strong ones? 3.Is this necessary to upgrade monsters with Chaos Tokens?
Thank you.

All monsters are the same at high levels. But if you really want a few stronger or weaker ones, keep in mind the wiki stats, and the meta at the moment, where people use mostly piercing, holy and dark. It is ok to upgrade monsters you want to actually kill stuff with with chaos tokens, but the most recommended choice is just to save up, get more monsters, and rely solely on their 3 days once gift system. In other words, just read the wiki, and you'll be fine.

Thank you.
Just build whatever you want to own. All monsters are meant to be punchbags anyway.

Unslot SP Tank and look at your SP bar. If you want to calculate it, you can add all your effective primary stats (equipment bonuses count) and divide by 5: (Str + Dex + Agi + End + Int + Wis) / 5 But honestly, the first method is just a lot easier...

You can also figure out your (percentage) amount of bonus SP and ignore everything else, since that'll tell you almost all that you want to know. (eg. "spark uses 5/17 of my full pool" or "spark uses 5/16 of my full pool" and so on)
Base SP amount doesn't really matter; only your fractional bonus SP is an important factor, generally.

assuming you want high incoming without investing too much... 1. at high levels it doesn't matter too much, players die too little. at low levels, pick a tanky one 2. i'd bet on an army of weaklings. 3. no if they are weaklings. if they are high levels, well... a bit is needed

If you have to use Weaken and Blind, you probably shouldn't mage in the first place, especially if you need it on just Hard (and mage in general isn't worth it at all before 310 if you're gonna Imperil, which you pretty much have to unless you're rich). Better to be as offensive as possible to clear faster
You might try 1h mage instead, though it'll still be crappy without 0-cooldown Imperil

alright. but please not that "high" is simply in relation to the capital invested. nobody can grant you high incomings, since all the gifts are random - or so we've been told

No I'm not using weaken actually, nor silence or blind. Those spells are only ever useful when I grind the staff prof against a SG, so that she doesn't suck up my spirit bar, or if I accidentally find myself against FSM. In practice, I'm only using imperil once in the beginning of every round, and that's it. I don't actually have to use it in regular battles, but it's set up mostly due to the SG arenas. I really do clear the battles quickly with my setup, almost as quickly as my Power 2H setup.
