[X] My Assistant

This is my current setup.

Weapon
Shield
Helmet
Gauntlets
Armor
Leggings
Boots

Probably is just an equip problem... I guess?

you guess right. in your shoes i'd consider to replace shield, gauntlets and boots. and finish to IW that rapier whenever possible. swift isn't the best potency around, but you're interested in hollowforging it, so...

Should I reset the IW?

And, what about the difficulty? Should I face IW on normal?

EDIT: The hugest problems, by the way, is that I cannot find anything better than what you see. I searched for something in the shops but almost everything is way too high for me, even for soulfuse. Am I doing something wrong?

no, fatality is good and i doubt you'll keep it for so much. keep going.

the highest difficulty that allows you to bring home the result. btw, how many rounds does it have?

no, that's what the market offers. your level is a bit of a sore point. keep an eye here and there and sooner or later something will appear. btw, a 0.82 shield and some power of whatever may already be an upgrade if compared to your current condition.

also: how many soul fragments do you have atm?
is your ability tree fine? did you slot all the abilities for what you use, and at maximum possible level?

63 rounds. I can usually face it on Hard without too many problems. Maybe I should try nightmare looking carefully on what I'm doing.

Ok I'll, look around then. Maybe I should just farm and level up.

250 atm

is your ability tree fine? did you slot all the abilities for what you use, and at maximum possible level?

Yes, all abilities are fully slotted. I even have some points left that I do not use.

yep, give it a shot. it'd shorten the number of runs quite a bit

250 atm

hmmm, quite low. well, farm them as much as possible

ah. well, sink a few of them in better/faster imperil and better silence then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Already silence and imperal already at the level cap. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I even set something in "mind control" just to have a longer sleep for some fights.

I should set something on "weaken" I guess.

Hi,

what is the best weapon?
Magnificent Ethereal Rapier of the Nimble
Legendary Fiery Rapier of the Vampire
Magnificent Fiery Rapier of the Nimble
Exquisite Demonic Rapier of Slaughter

thanks

either the ethereal or the vampire. maybe the ethereal...

Embarassing choice.
I'd say that the exquisite still has the upper hand (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Ethereal Nimble? Decent choice for temporary rapier, IF LEGENDARY.
Legendary Vampire? Not even ethereal. Nope.
Mag Fiery Nimble? If the Ethereal is a no, figure out what this is.

He should look around for a Mag+ Slaughter, by the way.

For what?
1H?
DW Main?
DW offhand?

For both 1H and DW Main the Vampire and it's not even close.

i'll take for granted that since he has 4 rapiers, he wants to use one of those 4.

As always, but it's always good to tell (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

BoS are always a fair choice, but sooner or later you will need to get a good power set.
At the moment all your power heavy are worth <500k/piece.

Head: Savage Warding with very low adb (not soulbound) (no IW)
Armor: elemental prefixed protection with good adb (trash IW)
gauntlets & leggings: mag slaughter (trash IW for gauntlets)
boots: mag slaughter with 2 PAB (not soulbound) (trash unfinished IW)

At least try to sell the two not-soulbound pieces and replace them with something non-crap.

Crystarium IV or V for melee is useless and a super-mega-ultra-hyper-bad investment unless your play 2h+/day.
And stop upgrading PABs on weapon and shield, you spent millions of credits forging stats after lvl 25 with next to no visible gain.

I've been hunting around the auctions, good pieces always seem to go for 15m+ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I tend to run through 20-40 stamina a day when I get a chance to play

I'm still trying to get forge lvl 50 (@32), and PABs are cheap to forge

at least avoid AGI

I wont buy any Binding of Cheetah, but if my minions bring me some...

Besides, it adds to my spirit total ^.^

yes, but you may trade one of them for 2~3 raccoons/oxes. which still add to your spirit total, but meanwhile do something useful too. just saying.

Ok a noob question

I saw high level holy mage players don't use full Heimdall set WHY? When it comes to 5 body pieces they mix them with Heimdall and Heaven-sent WHY ?

Is there any reason? what will happen if they go full Heimdall or Heaven-sent ?

thanks

proficiency bonuses from heaven-sent. You want something like 2x level as effect proficiency for holy mage.

They explode and die.

Seriously, check this section and this section from the wiki and see the [hvlist.niblseed.com] monster holy mitigation on hvlist.

Mixing prof and edb pieces is done to maximize the damage dealt.

@SidZBear: at least try not to forge the shield, the cost of those HGWood is too high for what it's worth.
And decent slaughter pieces go for 2-4M, not sure where you got the 15M from, unless you want nearly peerless ADB roll equips, which is definitely not something it's worth aiming for unless you are uber-rich.

I'm looking to upgrade to ~50% savage*slaughter pieces, which are uncommon in auction and go for a rather pretty penny.

I was trying to get a piece a couple weeks ago, 80% helm, ended up going for 15m
