QUOTE(Benny-boy @ Jul 31 2017, 18:24)  I disagree - 10% is not bad at all.
personally i wouldn't risk raising the number of turns too much, when you only need to purchase a crude from bazaar and iw it. but uh, i don't have to do that so i may be wrong (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Especially when you can just do more rounds at the same speed and gain the same proficiency gain anyway...

QUOTE(decondelite @ Jul 31 2017, 09:10)  They're not shadowdancer, but their ADB sure is something. Quite expensive to soulfuse them though. Do it if you know that you're not going to buy anything else any time soon.
Currently I'm using leather in those slots (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) so I'm fine with both... I'll do it with the leggings and wait some levels more for another breastplate Thanks

Are you sure crude IW is still the way to go? I started a crude IW post-patch and it was 20 rounds long. And considering the fact that you pay the stamina at the starts it seems a very bad way unless you need to farm a lot of prof. Now I'm farming prof in the first two arenas, @PFUDOR. It costs 0 stamina (I do them anyway so...) and even with a peerless staff I can grind .80/.90 with just the first two arenas (with an unprefixed staff it would be easy to farm more than 1 point). Two days and I've farmed enough staff prof at the cost of a couple spirit draughts.

Should I get LGBD? I seem swamped with IW requests at the moment, and so I'm going through ~50-70 stamina per day. I went from 80 on Friday to 28 right now, even using 3 energy drinks >.<
I also have 2 5+4 requests... egads what have I dug myself into?

as i suggested to l4cus, the key for these is to know exactly *when* to reforge: basically you have to either unlock both potencies at the start (preferrable) or to unlock a high level for one and hope for the other one at a certain point. whenever a third potency appears, reforge. but somehow it's a bit simpler (or better, mindless) than, saying, Jug5. in this latter case, you should reforge whenever bad potency >= good potency, iirc. and always when it doesn't show up at the first run (which means the first set of 2 potencies, since you have Dark Descent). and well, i guess that if you plan to offer IW service for a long time you should purchase the perk, yep. at the current hath and EDs costs, the breaking point should be in the 76~80 EDs range.

That low o.O yea ima get it in the next couple days. I'm at 96Hath/day from my server, so its not like its a huge cost ^.^ IW is fun, way more fun than mindless PFUDORfest that I can only get to ~500 on. And the lower rounds appeal to my ADHD

Should I get this shield: Mag Force Dex/EndTo replace this buckler: Buckler of Barrier Str/DexWTB thread looking for a Str/Dex mag+ force hasn't turned up anything, but I could get the force and switch it out later if it comes to it. That said, is losing the strength even worth it for a temporary switch? Doing 1H heavy; damage currently at 4827 w/buckler, block at 50.1% (1x shielding plate is providing another 5.92%), parry at 51.4%. 104.5 interf / 72.4 burden.

Strength is not the most important part of a shield. Block is. At least Endurance is better than Strength for you. This Mag is way better than your Exq. You should definitely get this Mag if it doesn't cost too much. And don't forget to scrap the Exq while you're at it: you probably want to retrieve 90% of the big amount of materials you've spent in it.
But more importantly... even if this Mag force shield is better than your exq, it's still very "meh" for a mag force shield. You have good chances to find better (Mag, Leg or even Peerless) by performing a research in the WTS or in auctions.

i think change title is good for staff prof,it’s about keeping hit the mobs with staff anyway so lower the damage we got more hits ,i even set a persona for prof farming only (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) clear arena 1-50 @ hard with 4 heavy Plate + 1 earthwalker + trash staff and 10 Assimilator get almost capped monster can not kill me with plate mitigation then mix a cotton in it could allow me get cloth armor proficiency need about 3 hours to gain over 150 points staff and cloth proficiency
