[X] My Assistant

And there goes my third hath/artifact dealer in a row. Man, I think I'm jinxed.
Godspeed then, Frith. Quitting to all that work mustn't be easy.

+480 ADM, but -187 Proficiency. Fuck that noise.

How's that working for you?

Regen lasts 20 turns. A non-crit deals about as much damage, maybe a little less, than Magic Missile. And I'm not even a real mage. I have 10.3k HP, though, but I need every once of it since I can't evade shit and tanking the damage doesn't really work out, either.

Finally, Eila has reached a level of enlightenment no other monster has attained. She has ascended to a higher plain where she both exists and does not exist. She now transcends space and time as she phases in and out of reality.

Death Grunty has one of those. It attained that level the day it was created. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Doesnt shield armor work better then power armor?

Hey guys, Tenboro forgot to include something in the notes.
Elemental mitigation from auras/abilities doesn't add to the mitigation we have after the equipment bonus been calculated. Now it's really impossible to get 100% mitigation on 1 element. (unless somehow a 100% mitigation piece magically appears lol)

Since she's on her own, what would be funny is if she reincarnates as RoB monster.

I'm sorry to hear about Frith. Sorry to hear that he dumped all his crystals on the Bazaar, that is, when he could have donated them to others whose monsters are in dire need of upgrades. Such as the Norwegian Blue. I'm not too proud to accept your charity, do you hear? I don't even particularly care what types of crystals I get, as even the less desirable ones can still be used simply to get my low level creations to a point where players actually encounter them more than once a month.

Hmm. Drifted slightly off topic there. Well, I'm glad to hear the witches are all doing OK, at least.

Soooo, what are you saying exactly? If you use mitigating gear then you don't get any of the aura or ability mitigation bonuses, but you do otherwise?

I have 47% fire/cold/elec/wind, so I equipped a fire-eater piece with 21% mitigation, and my total went to 58.1%. That just sounds like the usual BS multiplicative calculations to me. Perhaps it's been tweaked to be even harsher towards stacking single elements?

Doesnt shield armor work better then power armor?

If I wanted defense, then yes. I still lose about 160 Proficiency, anyway, and Block is still pitifully low despite having pretty good Shield armor and a pre-nerf shield.

cmal have you ever tried the legendaries? My power gear isn't exactly good, but I wasted 2x turns to kill one vs E-W gear. Damn pitiful poison, nerf, and HS.

The point was, before this patch we would get those bonus entirely, and with my pre-mitigation gear I could get 100% dark mitigation now at level 300. I was curious to know if I would get hit in 1 dmg or not in such circumstances.

Yep, that's it. In other words they totally suck now for higher levels (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I don't see how that would suck. Higher levels don't even use mitigation gear in the first place.

Because everyone is a mage. :awesomeface:

There's no reason to assume melees need to use it.

Because they're running perma-stun setups when they're not not spending a thousand rounds chipping away.

/edit: why not give her to Tens? You alwys wanted his Crystals so why not bring Eilia to the Crystals?

This keeps going through my mind and I guess I could adopt her til Frith gets out of the loony bin. Figures I'd end up with her.

But I know one thing, she'd be sleeping in the basement. And if she tried to glomp me, I'd smash a grapefruit right in her kisser.

Can so. help me out with some info I'm too lazy to search myself?

Due to the long fights I wish to change from melee to mage.
With the next Tier I have a total of 55 free APs to spend from Overcharge. IIRC this was the most common setting for mages. Which Spells I must learn, especially for FSM and the higher Arenas from Lvl 200 upwards?

Should I better keep Melee until level 250, because of the last tier and plus I don't have the expensive equip for a mage right now? Or is the Lvl 220 Arena just too much for the average melee, with those 77 Legendaries?

So far I've kept my stats balanced. Which I can lag behind? Don't mind the proficiency, I can do that.

Am I right with the Yellow, Indigo and Violett Aura are the most important Auras for Mage?
Which else I should rank up when having spare points?


Thx for your help

think you meant this to be posted in the "ask the experts" thread?

I don't know anymore in which thread to ask which question.
