What Chosen was getting at was X-nerfs action speed coupled with mana cost.

So? Equal quality Shielding Plate of Protection still kicks it's ass. What is the point of warding when you lose protection against the majority of attacks? Telling someone to switch from protection to warding is trolling (unless that warding piece is substantially better than the protection they have). Admit it, you just like to fuck with heavy armor users (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .

You gotta give it to him though, switch to Warding and no SoL, that was pretty funny (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Given all the possible outcomes, this seems a bit weak to me - weak as in I'd much rather keep my overcharge than risk facing a fully agitated/full mana bunch of mobs ready to kick my arse. Nothing some tweaking can't fix though.

I'm also assuming you won't be able to activate Wish with like 10 % overcharge, or at least using it with very low OC you'll have a much lower chance of netting the top bonuses.

I think it'd be easier (to implement for T) to just have more variety when it comes to gem powerups, like some bonus stats, or overcharge refill, maybe in conjunction with some henjutsu/perks (ie, better chance of getting top tier powerups).

Joe: Strategy based on future rounds? in my HV? Say it ain't so
(in other words, I note that the buffs are rather self-centered while nerfs are monster-centered, meaning it's most useful during those early rounds where the numbers of monsters is lacking).

What about having plain old wave erasure(to have people spam this skill once powerful enough just to go faster even if the overall result makes the situation worse). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

how about removing the resist potencies from cloth armor and introduce EDB potencies at 1.5-2% of your level per potency level?

If a monster name is already taken the higher level monster should take precedence. That would be better than having good names being wasted on level 25 monsters.

Or at least bring back the monster list so we know who to harass.

Since Miyafuji Yoshika 501st is taken I tried to create a Miyafuji Yoshika 501 and found that was taken as well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Same with Sakamoto Mio - both Sakamoto Mio 501st and Sakamoto Mio 501 are taken (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Is it the same person who has registered both the 501st and 501 variations?

Put up an informal bounty for someone to scan them and give you the screenshots.

Don't know about him, but I just die from getting hit fifteen times in one turn after X-nerfing everything, with Protection and SS active, and at full life.

On Hell.

Hmm... I'm a heavy armor/2H user with full HP tank and I haven't had anything quite like that happen. The spell stack I generally start with is prot->haste->regen->spirit shield, and add shadow veil and a spikes spell later on. If I can't get channeling to proc early then I'll then shoot for a reduced cost heartseeker off of spirit stance and many times that will get channeling to proc and cast regen 2 for free. (800+ hp/turn for 100+ turns? yes pls)

The Nerf and Spark of Life spells don't really come into play for me unless the fights are going to be long, high difficulty fights (ring of blood/higher level arena bosses, IWBTH randoms) since their casting cost is prohibitive. Since SoL doesn't actually "do" anything unless it triggers and MP/SP is precious as difficulty ramps up across long grinds/item worlds, chances are that by the time it becomes relevant I'm nearly out of SP or living on borrowed time at best.

I thought of doing that, but somebody could create a fake screenshot just to claim the bounty and there'd be no way I could verify it.

Besides, I think the imposter witches are very low level because I've never once seen them in battle. It would therefore need a very low level player to find them, and they probably don't read the forum.

Maybe Tenboro can make a mod tool to handle monster names at long last. At least then we can get rid of misleading ones and finally put the thread to use.

Increase the supply of slaughter bindings somehow. The price has gotten way out of hand (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

make mobs drop binding & rare material ( phazon , actuator , shade , kevlar ) in battle (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think it's fine the way it is. You can blame the huge melee population for it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

make mobs drop binding & rare material ( phazon , actuator , shade , kevlar ) in battle (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Then Tenboro will remove the gifts from mobs to counter balance, so no, I don't think so (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

No one likes Miyafuji.

I see that slaughter bindings can potentially rise in value even more at the moment and thus I'll hold off my supply.

Well, it's not like I have many of them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But the price is probably rising due people getting nice things from easter, and HTTP running out of things to spend on. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The highest bidder determines the price after all. Either you have people outbidding each other or setting up an informal oligopoly. Can't really do anything about those.

No, to decrease the demand for slaugther bindings one must nerf melee's offensive approach and boost mage's - I remember when destruction bindings were traded 1:1 for slaughter ones....

That was a long, long time ago. And it was brief.

Bindings of Racoon are kinda rare too.
How are these bindings rolled?
What factors actually determines the types of bindings the mobs bring back?
