[X] My Assistant

So I feel like spending a bit on upgrades, and was hoping to get some advice on exactly which upgrades would be most cost effective.

Options include:
• Upgrading INT/WIS on my Staff - I don't really want to upgrade armor beyond level ten until much later on, when I've got better Charged pieces.
• Enigma Energizer (riddlemaster perk) - This extends the damage boost to fifty turns? I've heard good things about this perk for mages for its low price.
• Evil Enchantress - Not sure about the return for its price; in my Arena runs, sometimes enemies resist Imperil multiple times in a row, but it doesn't happen often at all.
• Innate Arcana IV/V - Heard that IA beyond III has diminishing returns.
• Crystarium/Tokenizer - Heard that these don't get much return unless playing on PFUDORfest.
• Daemon Duality - Leaning toward this and Enigma Energizer.

Perks I already have, just in case I missed anything:
• Postage Paid
• Vigorous Vitality
• Effluent Ether
• Resplendent Regeneration
• Eminent Elementalist
• Innate Arcana I/II/III

Status screen [puu.sh] here and [puu.sh] here in case there's some other minor tweaks I can do.

My advice from one mage to another:
1. Evil Enchantress - Imperil takes 50% (at least) of the time you spend on HV. Evil Enchantress will speed your gameplay up. Highly recommended.
2. Daemon Dualit - improves the other part of the gameplay. This is also a must-have.

after that, it's a matter of taste, really. I do like Enigma energizer a lot. But it makes you play more, kind off. And I first got cryst 3 + token 1 before going for the fests.

How many max mob that can be attacked by Domino Strike (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Right now I can hit up to 7, is it possible I can attack mob up to 10?

Then I can hit up to 9 mobs (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm getting excited (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No. Seven is the max. 3 mobs splashed at maximum on either side of the initial target. With damage taken 65%/85%/100%/100%/100%/85%/65% if your proficiency is superior to 100. Sorry to disapoint you, but you will have to move your mouse cursor a bit.

So, from wiki (a total number of 4 enemies splashed) this means if I hit the top (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
If from middle then I get 3 splash up and down. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

No, 4 mobs splashed is if you have no proficiency at all. So 2 above and 2 below. But if you attack the topmost monster, then it splash only the 2/3 monsters below. it means that if you have the maximum efficiency in domino strike, you have to hit the 4th monster.

But don't worry, domino strike is easy to use to wipe out 10 mobs with some habit.

Think I'll pick up the perks while hath is cheap, then.

What's the lowest you guys have seen Hath at, in recent history? I hardly ever visit the Exchange page.

Any other suggestions from anyone?

When upgrading ADB on power armors should I do it equally on all pieces or max out first, then second and so on?

As someone who has done a lot of power armor upgrading recently, I can vouch for Scremaz's forge calculator. It helps you determine the optimal upgrade levels so you'd get the best possible return on investment.

Increase the ADB for the 5 first levels, then focus mainly on your weapon until the cost is so high that the ratio increase/costs goes below what the best of your power gear can provide with Lvl6 onward. In which case you'd raise that gear till Lvl10 and then ask yourself the same question: is the upgrading of your weapon more efficient than the second best of my power gear?

OK, I'll check it out.

Actually I've upgraded my gear past 30 lv. already (weapon is way higher), so the gain's getting smaller. That's why I wanted to know if I should upgrade the piece with highest gain first.

Help me to decide please (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I want to buy Evil Enchantress after reading DJNoni`s post. Is it good enough? What would be better for me as a dark mage? Buy this perk or upgrade equip to start?

evil enchantress is reported to improve every imperil game playstyle, afaik. almost on pair with other prof perks

I have questions (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

1. Is it good build 2H paired with leather armor, for low interference and burden. So I have better chance for critical attack.
2. Is it possible tanking with only leather armor.
3. I confused either buy new armor or soulfused this Magnificent Agile Leather Leggings of Stoneskin (buy soul fragments), the stats good enough to competed with low legendary. Maybe I can save credits for awhile.
4. If I buy from WTS and not sent for 24 hours. Can I canceled those order?

Thank you.

Question, If I want to do my own IW, and dont have dark decent perk, what's the best way to go about it (assuming I'm trying to get a specific potency). I'm able to do IWBTH IW (took about 7 mins for a 88 round IW) But that unlocks 2 potencies which means I burn 2 amnesia shards when I don't get the potency I want. Hell would only unlock 1 at a time, but then I suffer reduced drops (quality drops, below average equips, less crystals, etc). So I'm looking for the most cost/ time efficient way to go about this. (Note: stamina usuage isn't an issue, it's rare i can burn stamina faster than it regens within a 24 hour period and I dont have as big of a drive to level since I'm above 400 anyway and can soulbind any gear, however, time is a bigger issue and more important to me).

Do it while you can! (if you are talking about those reinforced things)

2H works well with leather, but you are getting to the levels where monsters will be doing more damage, and you may want to start shifting to 1H heavy. It sounds like you don't have many soul fragments, so I wouldn't soulfuse anything at this point.

You can usually cancel an order up until you get the items. The person you are buying from probably hasn't seen your post, so just edit the post. I've seen posts edited to something as simple as Cancel or Nevermind from people who cancel their entire order.

Well, Maybe I'll bid him for half price.

I see, as I feared. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
1H is very popular. The price and upgrade is expensive. Its hard to find good equipment, since everyone need it. If I depend on the trophies, I can't get more credits (usually I sell them). If I upgraded my leather to max its agi and dex, maybe I can get better evd and parry. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) When does the level of the monster getting stronger? 250?

The way I do it (and I think it was suggested to me) is just play on Hell to get the desired potency and reforge if it's not,when you get it, then up the difficulty to whatever you can play at, and reforge if before 6th potency level you get a third kind, but if time is an issue to you, there's IW services if you have the credits (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) no one said IW is easy, you can ask people that try perfect IW about their hundreds of runs
