It's good to kill a typical mooks+boss group: you use Great Cleave on the boss to give it more damage, and then sweep the board with the second attack, and if that's not enough you use the third to stun the monsters and pick them off.

The only downside is that now you need around 200% OC to use it effectively :| but I guess that's the whole point of using melee.

That is the problem, I am still at 75 prof and only 130OC, I am barely able to chain DW tier 3, that is, if I dont miss and is lucky to gather 45 more OC before the chain timer expires.


So using 2-hand Tier 3 is long time ahead for me.

Looks like the poison formula for backstab got broken like how skyward sword used to be

Need Void Estoc + Heavy now. So much for that Legendary + Mag shade you have. You can throw it in the closet with my eth scythe and staff.

Hitokiri84, got any other 2H items in your closet you would be willing to donate/trade de gozaimasu ka? I have 7 artifacts that can be shrined for equipment de gozaru. I've been saving them for if/when I get to a high level, but you at 365 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

On another note, according to the wiki for 2H chaining:
2-Handed Weapon
Great Cleave (T1) Cost 50 Cooldown 10 Unlock Basic Focus a powerful strike on a single enemy.
Rending Blow (T2) Cost 50 Cooldown10 Unlock 50? Tears through enemy defenses, leaving them vulnerable for followup attacks. Inflicts Penetrated Armor on all targets.
Shatter Strike (T3) Cost 100? Cooldown10? Unlock 150? A mighty swing with your weapon causes your enemies to stagger? Inflicts Stunned on all targets if chained of off Rending Blow.

So can anyone confirm if Rending Blow is actually unlocked at 100, 'cause I do not have it at lvl 83?

What is your 2H proficiency?

We're talking about 100 prof. not lv.100, and right now I don't know.
I should wait 'Zoro the Gallade' or any others around lv. 100 to tell me the correct answer....oh wait I forgot I have around 100 2-hand prof. now (107 to be exact).

So...I can see Rending Blow and Shatter Strike now, so you should get them at 100 prof or less...
and Shatter Strike costs 50 OC. Right.

My only real Complaint is that now Light Armor is Suicide without a Mace equipped.
Maybe add a Evade Bonus to Light Armor Prof? Or bring back the old formula for evade.

With 1706 life and 30.3% physical mitigation with all shade armor, I am now dead in 3-4 hits on Hard in the arena. With Regen only giving 65 health and Cure around 550 (proficiency at only 51%), unless I can evade a hit I need to cure about every other turn... running out of mana way to quickly.

We're talking about 100 prof. not lv.100, and right now I don't know.

Nope. Level 100, only about 40 Prof, only have Grand Cleave.

So I guess it would be require 50 prof to unlock Rending Blow and 100 prof to unlock Shatter Strike now. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wait, just did another arena battle between posts and now it shows up... wait a sec... yep prof. is now at 50.04 so yes you are right, it's prof of 50 not lvl 50 in which it appears. Dang it's gonna be a long time to get to prof. 150 and get SS back... Assimilator is bloody expensive... I want that overnight prof gainer/trainer back now lol

The high increase to stats is actually making turtle suffix give more mitigation than protection

Regen II 100+ turns???!?!?!?!

Heartseeker 300+ Turns!!?!?!?!

All stats BEEFED!!!!?!?!?!

This is CRAZY!!!!

I'm like 2x as powerful now.

(and I jumped from 9000+ health to 10000+ health ^~~^)


edit: SOL is 85+ turns too!!!?!?!?

edit 2: HOLY SHIT, love the new Skills for 2H, with 280% Overcharge, get 3 attacks right after each other.... ^~^ Boom, Boom, Boom.

So are monsters damage and health, oh, and mitigation too.

Seems like monsters are relatively the same at same Difficulties, just I am more powerful in proportion. ^~~^

edit: WOW even on the moderate Nintendo I'm like 2-3x more powerful per attack.


(Maybe I just have invested in good perks and stats and now they finally shine... ^^)

I don't see any duration increased to my supportive spell... Did I missed something? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Well of course that is with Channeling...

Goodbye Shatter Strike :'(

Hello~ Spirit Channeling! :D

The changed to 2H skill, while succeed in curbing the rampant use of SS, left it with a skill system that felt inelegant and unpolished.

Just saying, not a criticism. I understands these thing takes time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hurray for a patch! Notes look interesting, now to go see how it plays!

Because, it's an additional damage reduction spell which stacks with Weaken, and you can all-cast it. Though I'm not sure it'll survive future patches.

Only all-cast with X-Nerf which is unlocked 50 levels after Nerf and costs 6x Weaken. It needs to be tweaked if its going to survive.

So Nerf is intended to be gravy on top of Weaken or a lighter AoE alternative to Weaken. I can see that making sense for X-Nerf, but less for single-target Nerf. X-Imperil would be awesomesauce

We need X-versions of more of the Dep spells. At least Weaken and Imperil, maybe Poison.

We could also use some boosts to OC gains and/or build-based modifiers to Skill costs. This will be essential once we have more than 1 Skill in each tier.
