Go with Innate Arcana first - especially since it sounds like you have ~100 Hath right now. At your level, having Spark and either Haste or Spirit Shield already cast going into an hourly will feel so awesome until you take it for granted - much more so than the +50% regen that Rainbow will eventually give you. Marginal mana consumption savings-wise, get rainbow before IA4 - at that point the -15% consumption won't do as much as the +50% regen, on a one-to-one Hath comparison, not to mention Rainbow's other benefits. Getting IA3 before Rainbow? That's for you to decide. I will say that I really like having SoL, SS, AND Haste always on, though.

I want to get those too, Snowflake and credits at the Hath Exchange willing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Get rid of intelligence as a possible PAB on light armor. It's absolutely useless to melee and it fucks over the PAB rolls on many high quality equips. Like HTTP's Legendary SD.

Also get rid of agility cause agility is so silly right now.



Also my 80% Domino Strike just failed 11 times in a row (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
So much fun.

Naw, agility is still relevant to... well... shade users at least (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . But I do agree that agility should be given something else it does.

I already suggested having agility give faster regeneration for monsters. What about for players?

0 Agility, you regenerate nothing ofc...

Monsters are already regenerating 5% of MP/SP per turn.
Where is my 5%? Huh?

Heck, let a Godly regenerate even just 5% BASE stat for 25 turns and I'd stop complaining... about anything.

@T_Starrk: AGI is kinda useful only for Evade right now. Yes, it contributes to other derived stats, but at half rate compared to DEX, which means it's going to be treated like INT for melee. What I think is that AGI could reduce the effects of Burden. Let every 25 points of AGI reduce Burden by 1 point, for instance. That way, AGI will indirectly contribute even more Evade, and it would be useful to melee (and not entirely hopeless for mages).

B-but that wouldn't benefit my shade at all (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Indirectly it would if you would get even more awesome but elemental weapon. You'd have more choices and light armor's AGI bonus would be useful.

And it won't help if TenB actually comes up with a way to delete AGI altogether. It's really hard to see how to make Shade better - piercing mitigation as a Level 10 potency maybe, get some Attack Speed on it?

Precisely. Right now, if you want any usable crit rate whatsoever, either you shard your stuff, use all Power (and hope for minimum burden on all pieces for a 53.2 Burden), or use an Ethereal and pray very very hard your Plate pieces all have minimum burden for 70.

It would make sense for either AGI or STR to reduce the effects of Burden, and make the Heavy Melee playing style less restrictive.

No way! I'd never give up my ethereals! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Well, maybe for a perfect demonic or hallowed legendary... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Less restrictive? As in pretty much make burden a non-issue for heavy melee again? Naw, heavy should have to deal with burden issues, imo.

Heavy could have more burden. Then light and heavy melee would be like gossamer and phase!

Yay, heavy melees actually have to think for once! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Serious suggestion:

Agi gives more evade and maybe even a little bit of crit! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

agree..............Now the AGI is so useless that can be ignored.

If you have to think while playing HV you are doing it wrong. regardless of Style (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

A game that you don't think about at all is not a game, Ichy, but a math equation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That said, it does boil down a lot to reactions since situations repeat so much even with the diverse monster pool.

what kind of trophies are you throwing in? If it's only from the boss, it's supposed to be crappy. Since your level is 149, high chance you are throwing the boss' thropies only.

I've thrown in noodles, saplings, t-shirts and every other arena monster trophy.

In multiples; and I'm only rolling longswords; and bad ones at that. I used to get exquisite scythes and estocs and maces from noodles a few patches ago. But now, nothing but superior, (at best) and mostly fine longswords.

It's be great if things that recovered [HMS]P logged how much they actually recovered instead of rounding up the calculation for the log.

Tenboro changed it.......
I have shrined hundreds of trophies noodles included and I have only gotten a few estocs, I get almost nothing but Longswords, and when its not a longsword its usually scythes/katanas.....
Tenboro wants estocs to be extremely rare so he changed the drop rates to make it so....
