[X] My Assistant

As a Heavy Melee, what should my stat distribution be? I currently have everything even, with Agility and Intelligence behind by 1/3-rd (everything at 300+ while AGL and INT is at 200).

I also want to ask about which buffs I should use and which debuffs for RoB. I currently have Haste and Spark on Innate Arcana, and usually use Protection, Spirit Shield and Regen as well, is anything else useful? Shadow Veil maybe if it still works with burdened characters? And in the Ring of Blood I usually only use Silence and Weaken since I've heard Drain sucks and Imperil is useless if you already use a Rapier.

Its wrong decision not to use imperil, espesially on your level.

seems fine. small note: keep it that way if you only plan to play 1H, raise AGI if you plan to play with other styles as well.

- shadow veil hinders 1H gameplay. use it only when on really tight corners
- try to see if you can survive without Haste. in such a case, put Spirit Shield on IA
- heartseeker will greatly improve your damage, but it's quite long to cast. use it when you're safe enough (ie: low number of mobs remaining, really high HP condition and Spark on, a big number of mobs stunned...) and preferably with a channelling proc, since it puts quite a toll on your MP tank
- imperil can still be useful on very tanky mobs: dragons, gods, SGs in marathons... surely it's not worth it on regular quests

try alt.hentaiverse.org. iirc, tenboro made it so it still sticks with http.
i saw another mod telling people to exchange some GPs. just saying...

thanks

I'm not here to ask for your help, but to thank you!

Finally I got my first item at IW10 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Fatality 5 is nice. it should work quite well for the moment.

Yes indeed I'm kinda satisfied! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Swift Strike, in the end it's not that bad ... It could have been worse xD

well, it's almost completely eaten by BUR anyways, so...

You know comments like this let me think for a long, long time that BUR would be something really bad. TBH i wish i had at least 60 BUR. And now i stand here with my 7.6% evade chance and just cant get rid of it.

it depends for what. for 1H Power, is good if ~70. for all the other styles, the lower, the better.

lol. i know that feel. i finally achieved 3.3 evade, then a Mithril prefix brought me back to 5 (and -3 Crit damage). oh, well. that's the price to pay to have +200 ADB, i guess...

Also, speaking of upgrades, should I bother forging Legendary Fiery Rapier of Slaughter?

I have a question about upgrades - how exactly do they work? It could just be that the script I'm using to see the modified base is wrong.. but, anyway what I see for that Rapier's modified base is 67.95. It has 15 dmg upgrades, and Butcher 4x. If I assume what HV says that'd be +15% with another +8% from butcher, which would mean the linked rapier is a record-holder (based on equipment ranges in the wiki). I suspect that isn't the case.

The wiki gives a different algorithm for upgrading but.. I don't think I understand correctly (the base stat is increased by slightly over 1 each time? That doesn't seem to match up with stuff I've upgraded, even if that'd work out for the linked rapier [~(47+16)*1.08?]).

Speaking of records, I think my club holds some new Min-Legend records for +Attack, +Crit, and possibly damage (I forget what the original base was..): Club

Edit: Also spell damage?

Regarding Spike Shield: I currently have a Fiery Rapier, is it worth changing my Spike Shield to Electric to cause lowered fire resistance? The thing is that my accuracy is pretty high and as a Heavy Melee I barely ever use any spells on the monsters so Deep Burns is one of the least useful Status Effects for me.

- try to see if you can survive without Haste. in such a case, put Spirit Shield on IA

Do you mean I should try and survive without casting Haste at all? I thought this was one of the most useful buffs?

I am not sure if it is really worth it. But i did my spike shield match to my rapier, just because it is the only reason i really have to decide which shield i should choose. TBH i dont think it matters that much.

Anyone figure out which day of the week corresponds to which element? Specifically dark.

So I was browsing the wiki, and saw that the Rapier is recommended over all other one handed weapons, I've mainly been using an axe, is the armor penetration that much more handy than bleeding effect?

Yes, the difference is huge. Despite having lower adb the penetration makes up for it. Rapiers also have parry which improves survivability and allows more counter attacks, which also stun, further improving survivability. At least that's how it is for 1h+shield, I have no experience with dw. I guess they use at least one rapier for the penetration as well.

I know Scremaz is putting a big push together to try and find out; he's been asking for help on it.

judging the little datas we have, it may be Monday or Friday. but absolutely don't quote me on that.

Seeing how there doesn't seem to be anyone selling fast IW service atm, am I better off doing a hell IW to only unlock 1 potency at a time so that it only costs me 1 amnesia shard to reset or IWBTH IW to unlock 2 at a time for speed and increased drops at a cost of having to burn 2 amnesia shards if I don't get the potency I need? So basicly am i better off going for a 12.5% chance to get the potency i want at a cost of time and reduced drop rate or going for a 18.75% chance per attempt but having to pay double the amnesia shards when I don't get the potency i need.

is the item soulfused? if no, then feel free to go at high difficulties and send to a reforge service.
if yes, i'd go with one potency at time.
