So Katalox is now the only Staff worth using?

New Ebony just does not kick it and made Elementalist mage even more worthless.

just run around using your fists, it should be faster.

I can't understand why my Ragnarok hits monster for only 20-40k (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)
And over 300k after Imperil...

Looking at Monsters' HP, it seems that wiki HP formula is correct, indicating 0.1*base_PAB*level.
However both PMI/MMI seems to be very high (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You also need to consider monsters' elemental mitigations, whether that's the main target, crit, damage range, etc.

Elemental resistance is low, at most +40-50%.
I did calculate by wiki, but the error is huge.

My dark score is 88439 without critical, x1.1 title, x1.3 hath perk, x3.12 Dark T4, x2 AoE primary target, and it's 789158.

Monster lv.428 with 25 END/WIS (big over-estimation) will take 14.3572% or 42.78% damage (by old or new formula), plus warding -20%, there's still 90640 or 270080.
Take in resistance of 42% (typical 1000PL resistance), it's 52571 or 156646 average non-critical damage at main target.
That's way off with real damage I dealt.

33 4 asa hiru yoru hits you for 5267 wind damage.
33 3 Your spirit shield absorbs 18007 points of damage from the attack into 103 points of spirit damage.
33 2 Bottle Fairy casts asa hiru yoru
33 1 Bottle Fairy parries your attack.

27 4 four seasons crits you for 5267 soul damage.
27 3 Your spirit shield absorbs 32465 points of damage from the attack into 103 points of spirit damage.
27 2 Bottle Fairy casts four seasons

22 6 asa hiru yoru crits you for 5267 wind damage.
22 5 Your spirit shield absorbs 16597 points of damage from the attack into 103 points of spirit damage.
22 4 Bottle Fairy casts asa hiru yoru

Holyshit, losing 309 spirits in one round is like WTF, How could I supposed to play HV properly if monsters damages are so nasty like this??

Weaken/silence?

Weaken/silence?

I need to save up most of my mp for the last round, and there are so many monsters with heavy magic attack. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

use weaken/silence then ET ?

I'm a heavy melee.

btw, I will blame the defensive nerf, I cant even count how many times my spark has been triggered since this patch came out.

More plate?

Use plate of warding?

Use focus instead of spirit stance?

Does Plate of Warding even give enough MMI to be worth it? It almost seems like it might be better to start IWing armors for the X-proof potencies.

schoolgirls?

absorb uses less mana over the long run

if you want to use spirit shield all the time then you need to bring in a lot more spirit pots then you use to. soul harvest/reaper aren't working as well as they use to.

mana shouldn't be much of a problem if still use shards (or other stuff to keep mana costs down) but then just use focus if you need to.

If you keep getting drained by spells(elemental/soul damage) maybe it is time to use absorb.

I know it is needed to stop chaters but it is also sucking out all fun of daily Arenas.
I guess I have to take a full break soon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

mazes & ponies? If you stop playing you want see them, and any fun left in HV was killed off ages ago.

btw isn't fun spending 2x the time (then before) on something with no more reward.

Yep Riddles. No fun doing so many of them.

Complaint validated, monsters did not get new pmi/mmi formulas

And here I was thinking 0.73 wasn't pure nerf for mages.
