I've got Pen5 + Eco4 on my LARD. Works fine, but I know it should be Pen5 Spel4. I just don't have any gear that's good enough to reforge it. I bought it IW'd. I guess I first need to win a PHOH in the lottery! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But just for information, a good staff work quite well with Pen5 Eco4.

Two questions.
1) There is any script that let me sort my Inventary visualization?
I don't like the default armor equipment visualization (ALL the Helmets, ALL the Armors and so on).
I want to be able to group my equipment by Fighting Styles (All Heavy Helmet, Cuirass\Armors, Gauntlets, Greaves\Leggings, Sabatons\Boots, All Light Armors in the same wat and so on) and decide what group will come first and what last.
If the answer is no i think i will suggest to implement this, at the moment is really chaotic.
2) Reading the wiki Overwhelming Strikes say "Increases attack damage by 15%, attack accuracy by 50%, and parry chance by 10% for 4 turns". Reding the battle screen the 10% parry is not mentioned.
What is the truth? There is a 10% parry bonus (maybe hidden) or not?

1) There is a script that sort the Inventory by date, I don't know other script like this Also, if you want the visualizations like you said, just go to the Upgrade section of The Forge. All the items are filtered by type and then in this order: Head (Normal)/Head (Rare)/Body (Normal)/Body (Rare) etc. 2) There is such bonus. Not that we'll be ever able to calculate it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I think it based on what battle is your main purpose.

most holy mage players aim for no-imperil style fast clearing. Radiant is better. By the way, did you see the prices good radiant heimdall's go for in auction lately? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'll add on to that, since I've seen people say that Spellweaver potencies are better overall than Archmage potencies, since more spells being fired off in one turn= more dps per turn, and I would agree with that, but does that apply to armor as well? Specifically, does the increase in casting speed from Charged provide a more significant impact on clear speed compared to the MDB increase from Radiant?
If you were looking at a long arena/grindfest instead of just REs, of course.

Specifically, does the increase in casting speed from Charged provide a more significant impact on clear speed compared to the MDB increase from Radiant? It depends on style and difficulty. Someone high level with good gears and forging and a Destruction staff might not care about incoming damage, and prefer Archmage over Spellweaver. QUOTE(tganimation6 @ Apr 2 2017, 05:38)  since more spells being fired off in one turn= more dps per turn, Not exactly. Spellweaver, like Haste, reduces the action time required for a turn, but one turn still takes exactly one turn (or 0.35 seconds, or whatever turns/sec your setup results in on average). Spellweaver is for reducing incoming damage. QUOTE(tganimation6 @ Apr 2 2017, 05:38)  Specifically, does the increase in casting speed from Charged provide a more significant impact on clear speed compared to the MDB increase from Radiant? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. High difficulty fest has the highest incoming damage, and so has the highest demand for reducing incoming damage via Spellweaver/Charged. (Or, someone low-level or with meh gears or no forging might prefer Charged regardless because incoming damage is always a concern) Whether you use Imperil or not also has a significant impact. Use Imperil = Radiant is significantly less useful, since only ~half of your turns will be spent on doing damage compared to no-Imperil style. Rich high-level folks with great gears and forging could use Radiant without much loss to defense. Decently well-off players with no-Imperil style can also use Radiant for the significant clear speed bonus. I think for most other players, Charged is a bit better.

I'm considering reforing this: Legendary Arctic Redwood Staff of DestructionThere are 2 sets I can use to IW on Hell in about 3-4 minutes per round. That will do for the first levels. 1. Peerless Ethereal Redwood Staff of Destruction (about 3 min) or 2. My 1h mage equip (see sig) (3min40sec) Then if I want to go IWBTH after Pen3, I will go for 1h mage I guess. It will take some time, though... Any advice? "No, that's stupid, keep the current IW it's perferct"? And, I have 63 amnesia's, 10 will be needed for initial reforge: will 53 amnesia's be anywhere nearly enough?

If you want to play higher difficulty easier, I'd reforge too, and aim for Spellweaver 3+ (or, if you don't want to Imperil, then Spellweaver + Archmage = 4, both potencies are solid, unlike Economizer). If you don't think incoming damage is slowing you down enough to care, then I probably wouldn't bother reforging; Archmage would be nice but probably not worth going through an expensive IW process, especially if you use Imperil. 63 might be a bit less than the median shards required. Average is higher, maybe 80, and the distribution has a long tail, so if you don't get lucky it's possible to spend a whole lot more.
