I've used all weapon types of weapons with my shade when doing BT-IW and arenas. Estoc isn't any different then the other ones. Light armor gives you evade, AGI, DEX & high action speed. You're not going to die just because you aren't using a mace.
And as to the other thing, I was doing the first page of arenas on IWBTH with full heavy and non-eth weapon without any shards and I wasn't popping potions. Someone doing that on lower settings shouldn't have that much of a problem.
The problem I keep seeing is people level too fast and can't or don't want to spend time keeping their proficiencies close to their level. Getting half the healing power of regen II, spells not lasting as long as they could, not casting spells that could keep them alive, If they use spirit shield & spark and not having any spirit tanks....
Trying to kill on a setting that is too hard for them is also a problem.
1. Okay, I'll be more accurate then: using estoc with
kevlar isn't very comfortable. Kevlar's evade isn't high enough, plus it has burden and stuff.
2. I'm not a fan of powerlevel, so I keep my profs high:
CODE
Two-handed 270.00
Light armor 270.00
Deprecating 225.55
Supportive 270.00
Curative 260.81
All tanks are full, I don't use EXP tanks at all.
3. And currently I'm doing everything on BT, except leveling up my magnificents.
