[233,232,211,212,231,221,222,223] (since I cast with spell number I don't have the name, but a quick look at CC should give them out)
This is what I used to try to speed up building prof.
It works, but it's still slow so I recommend just playing.
I needed 9 months to max the prof but whatever, it was fine that way.
I suggest putting drain in spell rotation when doing SG arenas though, very small penalty in speed and you can get a bit of mana and raise depr prof at the same time.

The numbers in CC turned out to be ['Magnet','Silence','Drain','Weaken','Blind','Slow','Sleep','Confuse']
I'm literally going to take my typing and cut and paste in as an experiment.
I take it you had a tier 3 in there to slowly clear things out?

do you have a spell which requires 40 MP and another one that requires 20? pick the 20 one. which won't be casted too often either - so disable the ability which reduces its cooldown, if it doesn't hinder the cost

That's a great idea. Find the spell with the least mana cost, slaughter its abilities to zero, and let it flow.

I'm going to experiment with both ways, but will run 'Drain' as a norm either way.

Thanks guys!

your block seems low... Do you have the funds to upgrade to a force shield? Damage looks about right for your level, I'd say.

to be honest i am saving budget to support WTB thread

i wish to forge Kite Shield it's cheaper than buy a new decent force shield right ？

Very surprised to know my offence side because you can see most is Warding

Magnificent Power Helmet of Warding
Magnificent Power Armor of Warding
Magnificent Zircon Power Gauntlets of Protection
Exquisite Cobalt Power Leggings of Slaughter maybe this one get me some offence advantage but its no END (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

is Jug4 good enough for a high-level mage? or anything different than Jug5 is mere crap and should be resetted asap?

it depends. force shields better than that can be found for 100k or so, and you'll start to need HG Wood pretty soon (provided you already didn't), which means 8.5k/stat, then 2*8.5k/stat and so on. personally, if i had to sink credits in a HG material, i'd rather prefer to use them in the best possible way...

Thanks a lot,and I did some calculations,if I want 0.68prof the base prof should be higher than 12.40,am I right?

No, unless you meant 14.40 (it should be around 14.40-14.50)

I take it you had a tier 3 in there to slowly clear things out?

Nope, the idea is that you don't do damage while grinding.
And, anyway, drain is enough to clear the rounds.

Well, given how cheap Jug5 is I'd say go for Jug5, it's worth the cost.

matter is, i reached jug4 in that radiant that i wanted to auction (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

oh, well. i'll add a line in which i say that i'll eventually cover the reforge fees

i hoped in a plusvalue. however, jug4 with one shard. not that bad of a result, afterall (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

TBH i would never pay for a armor a single credits more just because of IW. For a weapon, well that would be another horse i guess.

No, unless you meant 14.40 (it should be around 14.40-14.50)

er,sorry typo,I mean 14.40.
With this number confirmed,I can choose gear easily.
Many thanks.

Yea., but kite shields with a 90% ADB can be had for 50k, their upgrade doesn't require a defense matrix modulator, which from the start costs 25k per, and one needed per upgrade. And both kinds will end up using HG wood, so that whole line of argument is bogus.

It's really this: do you buy a good force shield at half a million to a million, or do you find a good kite shield and make some additional upgrades to keep it comparable to force shields?

Kite shield start with lower base stat but cost less to upgrade. My kite shield, for example (Compare to the shield DJNoni has in his sig, and I'm what, 100 levels lower). That said, the sooner he can get to > 50% block on his shield, the sooner he can do IWTBH. My stats are better but "just" better.

I can do IWTBH IW now but it's not "go to sleep" and do IWTBH. The ride can be rocky.

PS - all that said, I think 15k HP seems low as well. I'm around 20k atm. The hath perk VV is recommended for the OP.

last time i checked they were easily purchase-able at 10k or so in WTB. if there's someone who purchases them at 25, please tell me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
also, 10k per upgrade level.

And both kinds will end up using HG wood, so that whole line of argument is bogus.

yep, they will both use HG Wood. but average block for L Kite is 34.33, while average block for L Force is 37.08. ratio is 1.08, which means 5 forge levels already (roughly 50k worth of matrixes).
given how cheap low-block force shields are, i don't see a reason to bother with kites - unless it's a selfdrop and you're tight on budget, of course.

Compare to the shield DJNoni has in his sig, and I'm what, 100 levels lower

Soulbound equipments are automatically scaled to the level of the viewer, so there is 0 level difference.

And if you compare both his it's 8 block level lower (nearly 400k credits worth of forge) while the block chance is pretty similar.
And 18 DMM are <=180k credits if you use WTB.

Cost less and it can go higher.
Force > Kite, if you're serious about 1H your only choices are either force or buckler of barrier (if you can get a 37+ block one, which would cost a lot).

Decent force shields, one you would want forever, cost plenty. And the first 5 upgrades of a kite shield involve an inexpensive catalyst and mid grade wood, which most 300ish players have. By contrast, how many 300ish players have DMM drops?

Then of course, if you've invested in a kite shield and then get a force drop, which one can be more inexpensively raised to 55%? Feel free to calculate that with your calculator. At what point in the block % scale does the upgrade break even?

Let's change the question.
How many 300ish players are able to open a WTB requesting some DMMs for 10k/piece?
I'm guessing everyone who is reading this topic btw.

Then of course, if you've invested in a kite shield and then get a force drop, which one can be more inexpensively raised to 55%? Feel free to calculate that with your calculator. At what point in the block % scale does the upgrade break even?

With block lvl 14 it should already be better than your current one.
So it already breaks even since you can salvage your current one, sell enough HGWood to buy 14 DMM, sell enough HGWood to cover for catalyst and still be able to forge at least to 14.

Every time you upgrade a kite shield you're wasting credits, and the more you upgrade the more credits you're losing.
In the long run salvaging stuff is always better than forging bad equipments.
