should I leave it like this, or reforge?

also.. Radiant or Charged.. or is it always charged as long as you have enough credits?

If you want to play on PF and use Imperil, I'd reforge. If you don't play on PF or don't use Imperil, Pen 5 is less necessary, but still quite useful. I wouldn't settle for anything else, myself.

I think Charged is better for Imperil elemental mages in GF, but Radiant is better in arenas, on lower difficulties, and for those that don't Imperil. But that's only a guess.

oke.. I always want the best I can get, that means reforge >,< and if I can manage charged gear

my equipment suck...i cant seem to get good drops for heavy armor...the axe i use is notably the best i have right now.but thanks i will stick to 1H and slowly switch to heavy armor.i didnt quite understand the part with spark of life, but thanks for answering (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Spark of Life is one of the available Supportive Spells. You should have it available now at level 100.

And for Innate Arcana, it's one of the available Hath Perks.

If you get one, you can go to your Settings screen under Character in the HentaiVerse and set one supportive spell to be autocast.

It's good to have Spark of Life in there at least, just in case you forget to cast it, or when a monster makes your Spark of Life trigger, as it will be autocast the next round as long as there is enough mana, so you can focus on curing without worrying about receiving more deadly attacks.

Question. Is it better to do Arenas on the highest manageable difficulty or the highest easily manageable difficulty? For example, in my case:

70+ round arenas on Hell: take about 25-30 minutes each, not a lot of micromanagement or potions needed, but lower quality drops and less XP per stamina.

70+ round arenas on Nintendo: take about 45-50 minutes each, needs constant use of deprecating spells, an infused weapon and dozens of draughts, but better drops and more XP per stamina.

Should I try to get better gear by playing Hell before attempting Nintendo or stick with it and power through? At level 250, I'm probably at the worst point in the game, where any "free gear for beginners" equipment is too low-level and the equipment in WTS threads is too high-level for the next foreseeable 50-100 levels (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Your input is appreciated (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Like Superlatanium said, the answer is more up to you.

Do you prefer to farm credits in the arenas, or do you wish to power level?

Relying on self-drops isn't really good, being easier to just look around on the forums, but as you said, there's not much good options available at your level range, so if you want to power level and don't mind losing a bit of daily income, I suggest doing the second page arenas (55~100 rounds) with your stamina above 80 for the XP bonus, on the highest difficulty possible if you have enough free time, and on the most manageable if you don't.

You will need less than 600 rounds, so that will spend your daily 24 stamina if you play with it above 80, as it will consume 1 every 25 rounds instead of 1 every 50.

In this case, you will miss the clear bonuses from the first page and the potential credits that could drop from there, but the first page arenas actually have less monsters per round, so they should also have less drops overall.

There's also other options to increase your EXP gain rate, like Adept Learner training, Hath Perks, placing in the toplists or donating, but those are up to you as well.

Question about attack/casting speed.

Can attacks performed before monsters can act be parried/resisted?

I'm wondering if swift strike is just another layer of defense, which at a certain point isn't really needed for shade other than for 2H users that will suffer against physical attacks.

If this is a thing, wouldn't swift strike/spellweaver on weapons be on par with overpower/penetrator, if not better, as there would not even be a chance to parry/resist, with charged/agile also being the best armor prefixes?

Resisted for sure! Imperil-style mages get that all the time. Imperil before monsters do anything: resisted!

@Kinights: An attack can always be evaded\parried\resisted unless limitations are in work (spells like MagNet or status like Stun), that because the roll are made when you attack the monster and not when the mosnter have it's turn.

Swift Strike make you attack faster so you kill monster sooner so yes, it can be be counted as defence (as "the best defence is attack").
But Butcher and Fatality kill them onster faster and Overpower make the Off-hand weapon of a DW player connect more often so basically Swift Strike is the fifth wheel of the wagon.

I'm not an expert but for what i have seen on forum a lot of work and testing made clear that Butcher\Fatality are better on Melee, Penetrator for Mages, i don't know what is the second better for mages.

-----------------------------------------------------

Question time.

- When you gain proficiency it is useful immediatly or you have to finish the current battle mode?
Like, if i am 174 One-Hand Proficiency and reach 180 in battle i will get the extra bonuses immediatly?

- Deprecating magic, how a melee player can make them hit more often?

- There is any point in hoarding Easter Artifact like some people do?
That knowing that those artifact give only 1 hat and have a decreased chance for Energy Drinks (i don't know how it works for bonus stats but i have got none over 9 Artifacts).

immediately. the most visible case is when you reach the threshold needed to unlock a certain spell. the next round it becomes available.

- Deprecating magic, how a melee player can make them hit more often?

hmmm... more depr prof? a bit more INT/WIS? why do you need it, btw? not that deprecating spells are useless, but the only cases i can think about using such spells, they are only a useful tool, not a mandatory condition...

- There is any point in hoarding Easter Artifact like some people do?
That knowing that those artifact give only 1 hat and have a decreased chance for Energy Drinks (i don't know how it works for bonus stats but i have got none over 9 Artifacts).

not that i know. probably collection purposes/reselling, but they are too recent and too frequent to have any value. about your series, well... your set is too small. you're still in the realm of bad luck.

- Deprecating magic, how a melee player can make them hit more often?

I guess when your prof is already equal to your level, the only way is Hath Perk "Evil Enchantress"

Spellweaver for Imperil mages (half you time is spent casting Imperil, and only Pen and SW affect that), I think is also SW for non-Imperil Mages too, but I'm not sure.

I guess when your prof is already equal to your level, the only way is Hath Perk "Evil Enchantress"

given that melee don't need such prof too much, i wouldn't go for such an expensive perk - unless you plam to play as a mage in the near future.

Do all trophies have a chance of getting Peerless? From the tier 1 to 9?

Thank you. I was looking at the wrong page: https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Items

my equipment suck...i cant seem to get good drops for heavy armor...the axe i use is notably the best i have right now.but thanks i will stick to 1H and slowly switch to heavy armor.i didnt quite understand the part with spark of life, but thanks for answering (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

At your level average armor and average weapons (1h + heavy) will let you do hell on PE. As you get later into the 100s and 200s you'll start accumulating superior drops.

After lvl 100 monsters get these rare but real giant hits. The harder the setting the more likely you'll get a very hard hit. Those monsters with three bars (the third a spirit bar) are why you're getting hit harder.

Spark of Life is a "revive" spell. Get hit so hard you die and it will rebirth you and give you a special shield for a turn for you to get your house in order. The first thing I do is drop a health potion and then look to cast any spells that may have vanished (like Spark of Life).

hath exchange. 50 hath are roughly 240k. and if you allow me, for IA1 they are very well spent credits.

If you have looked at End of All Hope's Legendary list, almost all of them are on REs. I think there is a lesson there.

I would run most Arenas at a comfort level to get Mana Potions, Trophies, etc. Collect stuff to keep and to get stuff to sell in WTB. I would get whatever skills you can to do higher level REs. As a change of pace I'd do Arenas
at a higher level, but only as a change of pace.

I want to know what equipment it takes to do 100 hellfest levels in 5 minutes.

fihero sells equipment in our range. You might be able to trade useless (to you) exquisite equipment for stuff he has that you would like.

If it is true that noodlies drop if you do the 300 Arena on IWBTH difficulty, then that's about the only arena I want to do routinely on a high difficulty.

And over the short term, burning up Ancients to get shots at Energy Drinks gives you income measurable in the hundreds of thousands.

@Scremaz: My equipment is still not so good so i realy on Deprecating spells when doing RE and RoB on PFUDOR, i also use Imperil for high level Arena in higher difficulty (i'm clearing them at increasing difficulties, just finishing Nintendo, i will leave IWBTH for later).

As always thanks for the answers, they are always useful:

OT: arialinnoc, who is the character in you're avatar?
