QUOTE(Scremaz @ Aug 28 2017, 18:50)  a matter of which kind of arenas you do then, uh?
My current impression is that SG arenas is better with rapier. However the bleeding proc appear to be more helpful with normal monsters.

QUOTE(jackalo @ Aug 28 2017, 08:41)  are we witnessing the birth of a new melee meta?
We might, actually. Just tried T&T PFUDOR with my axe, and it took ~13 min vs ~10 min with forged IWed rapierStats with axe - 9475 adb, 175.9% hit chance, 43.4% crit chance / +56 % damage, 75% physical mitigation, 71.6% magical mitigation, 6% evade, 60.6% block, 43.8% parry, 20.2% resist Stats with rapier - 9091 adb, 191% hit chance, 44.2% crit chance / +66 % damage, 75% physical mitigation, 71.6% magical mitigation, 3,5% evade, 60.6% block, 58.8% parry, 20.2% resist

QUOTE(friggo @ Aug 28 2017, 06:23)  Pls help, I suck at math (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) How does Assimilator affect the new proficiency system? Example: Player with 0 levels of Assimilator completes a round and gains 1 million XP. Default proficiency multiplier is x4, so that round gives him 4 million proficiency XP, right? Now, completing that same round with 10 levels of Assimilator (+100% proficiency XP): 1) Assimilator is added to multiplier (x4 + x1), so player would gain 5 million proficiency XP. 2) Assimilator of +100% means double XP, so player would gain 8 million proficency XP. Which is it? You gain 19146634 EXP! You gain 0.006 points of divine magic proficiency. Divine 432.471 level 432: 26,379,344,833 exp 19146634/26,379,344,833 * 8 = ~0.0058 19146634/26,379,344,833 * 5 = ~0.0036 The answer is x8.

Hey experts!
Been about six weeks, finally passed my first goal of getting to level 250, which from what I can tell is around when the game starts slowing down in leveling. I was just wondering, what would you do if you were me at this point? I feel like going for good/great gear is a little early, as I can only soulforge from level ~350 right now, which makes shopping a little harder. I think I'm just going to look for Exq/Mag stuff on the cheap to get a pretty good bump, still in a lot of superior stuff for both sets (heavy+1H, general ele mage).
Going forward, general mage question, which element should I focus on? Do the elemental procs even matter at higher level? If they do, I feel like wind/cold have a distinct defensive advantage...but please correct me if I'm wrong, that's the way I'm leaning.
My big question is credits, should I keep putting them into training for Adept Learner (90/300) and Ability Boost (53/251), or should I go for some Hath Perks? I currently have two levels of Innate Arcana, but I'm eyeing some of the more 'expensive' ones with Vigorous Vitality, Effluent Ether, and Resplendent Regeneration.
Pretty much asking for a goal and some direction.

Well for AL i would say train it as long you can easy afford the money for it. It never harms to get more exp. Not sure about the AB for a mage, but for melee i would say cease spending and see if you really need some more. Well VV is a sure as sure buying, not so sure about EE, it could be good for mages, but everything else dont need it for sure. While the regeneration i dont think it is a good idea to buy that.

Leveling up is top priority. Are you playing on PFUDOR? If not, shield should be your focus. (I have a low level forged legendary kite, which might work) BTW, be sure to land void + (2 of holy/dark/cold/wind) strikes on monsters by infusion. Wind or Elec is recommended. Imperil x Willow Staff is the key. VV is good, forget about EE & RR. If you want further advice, we may need your detailed status and plan (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll keep grinding out AL then, and set my sights on VV first, I think I should be able to manage that. QUOTE(ArbiterErii @ Aug 28 2017, 17:19)  Leveling up is top priority.

I know my request was really general, I haven't really settled into a style yet. Though, it looks like 1H+heavy is going to be the way, because I can clear some of the 2nd page arenas on IWBTH, where the mage-ish build is starting to find Hell difficult. I didn't want to, but I think I'll probably have to table the mage style for a while. Plus everyone says it's expensive, and my credits are already thin. Curious question though, why is Willow the meta? Looking on the wiki for ranges and other things, only reason I can figure is inherent counter-resist? Does hit work differently for spells? I know hit over 100% for melee reduces their chance to evade, does that not hold over for spells?

My advice: get a good rapier and force shield and play only 1h up to level 310 or even higher. I switched to mage at level 380. Willow had slightly less chance of getting resisted. But it's not the meta. Redwood of destruction works great for fire and ice. Great as in clearing PFfests in one hour at my level. The real good mages use holy. Dark is also stronger. Holy is the shit.

Why is my blue exp line during battle suddenly yellow? I just leveled up, but I haven't seen this before. Does it mean anything?

It turns yellow the moment you gain a level at the end of a battle. I guess you wouldn't see this too often at high level.

Elemental mage is AB intensive, ~150 to unlock everything (obviously it depends on level). If he isn't immediately switching (and he shouldn't) I would suggest to increase AB only if he is going to unlock abilities useful for 1H, otherwise it's better to wait.

Why many Players who wants to sell their equipment in WTS. has not mentioned any price at which they wanna sell those equipment.
Due to this i don't even know if i can afford them or not. I might afford some of them , but due to it i just skip them.
And nobody is gonna ask them (sellers) price of all their equipments.
They might have done so to get maximum price by bargaining but they should at-least- mention estimated nearby price and then mention that it is bargain-able
So, Do these people , who are selling equipments in WTS just wants to show-off their equipment and has no intentions to sell them?
Or I am misunderstanding all of it?

i'm one of those. but only because i'm absolutely a goat to price things. therefore i started to say "do you want this? come here and make yourself a price. if i like it, the item is yours". don't know about others' reasons.

Most, almost all, shops are legit and the shopkeeper won't screw you. Just stay clear of any bad apple in the bunch.

Then those people should at least mention the range of price for that equipment they might like. For example. On EH We have 3,864,291 registered members. and there is a seller who is expecting 100m for his equipment . but has not mentioned his desired price. but based on past trends of EH community price of that equipment is only 1m. So, is it fair to all 3,864,291 registered members that they all have to ask the seller price separately?

And i am sure not even 50% of them are even active in the community. From those not all play HV and from those not all trade in this forum. So talking about this nearly 4m is just on thing, wrong.
