[X] My Assistant

Realized that last night. Only since maces have long since been the bastard child of 2H weapons no one has any good ones for immediate sale. The best I've seen is from an auction ending in five days.

I've put good maces up for sale and fed them to the Bazaar because they went unbought. So, untrue. Actually, I've put up a lot of decent equipment that no one bought and ended up destroying them.

While I mostly like the changes it seems that now even with full heavy armour of protection I'm getting my ass handed to me on a regular basis. Is focusing on defence workable anymore? It would seem that completing an item world is now a game of chance. I got randomly wiped out from 3/4 health just a couple of rounds from the end where before I could get through it no problem. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I simply faceroll around EVERY round. All it takes is a 28% mace. They arent permastunned now, yeah. They are stunned with 85% uptime instead, since I am using Haste. And they take double damage all the time. And I am using HALF of mana I used to. And I dont even need to heal at all, well, maybe poking a Regen I once in a while (say, once per 150 rounds, aha)

Its not as if I'd ask for a "NERF NAO MELEEZ", I am one myself. It is just so that you simply ruined one "overpowered" aspect and immediately added another, which is absolutely and obviously OP.

I just bought myself a 26% mace with 3 turns of stun just to test this, and....yeah. I'm already doing 5.5k crits, where I normally do 2-3k crits max with a scythe. I do still need to cast regen and cure every now and then because of the skills casted at the beginning of rounds, but other than that...I don't even need shield anymore. If I get a higher domino strikes proc chance (54% atm), I probably won't even need to worry about that anymore.

Guess we're gonna go clubbin' (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Well,

I'm unable to clear arenas highter than dark skies, ohai crits.
People die so much that even my PL14 monster finnally get laid, and Inglip scores almost every hour.

PA is much less usefull.
Now, that Stun gives +100%dmg, here's no point in using rapiers.
Yes, I know that I can cast sleep on target AND use rapiers and get both bonuses, but casting it at all targets is imposible.
*waiting for two good clubs to drop*

suggestion: change PA from halving mitigation into const -45%mit that can be negative number
I dunno how this will look at lvl300+ but on ~120 it sounds fair.
...and on cap 90% mit it gives same effect, but helps low level players.

I wish i had that domino chance, but pfft, i snagged a better mace for proc chance (i even had one sitting around myself with better proc.)

Picked up a 29% 4 turn stunner to replace my old kept 28% 3 turn stunner. I hate to say it but it feels like stun procs far less often than my scythe's bleed. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Still looking for a mace myself. cmal went offline so the hunt goes on.

That'd probably be because your scythe had a higher crit chance.

Yeah. It looks like a tank build is no longer feasible.


Just now, I tossed aside the Exquisite Axe that I have been using forever for a Fair Club with 23% stun. I'm not entirely sure but I think I'm kicking more ass with the Fair club than with the Exquisite. >_>;

Same. Got a random "Sup Mace of Slaughter" 28/3 turns just recently from the shrine and now I am walking around the Trio on Hell all like Aint misbehavin'. Going to increase the difficulty once more after that.

well, yes and no.

The scythe itself, no, my power armor set, yes. However, even then, the difference in crit is about 3%, that can't make enough of a difference to seem so noticeable... I wouldn't think, anyway.

This mace has me fondly recalling the days of Stormheralding all over the place in WoW.

Haha, run rogues run.

2 1 You unleash Rokutoryu: Ryuutsume on Apathetic Canuck for 52678 soul damage.

sure it's a spirit attack but before, it didn't even deal more than barely 5k on -weak- monsters.

It looks like I will no longer be able to complete Item World with the set of melee equips I have been using. While I am dealing more damage and killing monsters faster than ever, the monsters are also dealing so much damage that I burn through my mana potions too quickly. I can no longer finish Item World with the amount of potions I can bring in.

As of these Spirit attacks, they dont seem to be broken. Actually, this is how it possibly meant to be. An attack that completely drains your both overcharge and (more importantly) spirit and in exchange it utterly obliterates a given enemy. Imagine yourself facing a Legendary, you're about to die and he's on the verge of death aswell so then you do stuff like this:
15 1 You unleash Starbreeze on Kick Buttowski for 200816 soul damage.
...and someone is taking a kick up his buttowski.
Do like. Although I am definitely NOT using that Button Of Doom.

I seem to remember spirit attacks doing similarly ridiculous damage in a previous patch. I think it was at the same time that PA affected poison.

Alright, I just got 10k exp from the last battle in Longest Journey. Accounting for the 4 levels I gained since last night....I'd say that's about the regular experience I've been getting. False alarm from me, then.
