[X] My Assistant

You should recall how you got defeat:
1. Get hit hard from every monster and eventually got killed;
2. Unlucky enough to get hit by SP skills or magical skills.

Besides:
1. Don't bother to use a light build.
2. Ethereal weapon is a bad choice. Use voidseeker on elemental weapons.

Well this last hourly I lost because of a crit from a monster. It was more my fault though. There was about three out of nine monsters left with a little less than half HP and I thought, "I got this" then BAM! Headshot!

I thought light builds were good for the avoidance? Though I don't notice monsters missing that much more I guess. It does consume far less MP than my heavy though.

I'm hoping to eventually get a few ethereal weapons I can level to 10 potency. I like the idea of a weapon with zero Burden/Interference that does void damage AND an elemental strike. I only have about 5 void shards, but I got plenty of Infusions. Makes more sense to me.

Yes you can donate again. And yes, PM the one for information.

If you really can't get accustomed to post-200 battles, try to use heavy and notice which monsters hit you the hardest. Monsters get anti-evade with chaos tokens but not anti-mitigation.
Mana consumption is nothing if you can't survive. There's still no victory if you're killed by the last monster.

Also, choose a good combination of weapon/armors.
You won't use (that much) vampire/banshee weapons as illithid is more efficeint in terms of cure/supportive spells.
You won't use scythe with light as it will slow down bleeding and there's no effective way to protect yourself. You may want to use scythe of slaughter on normal difficulty as everything takes a few hits to kill without PA.
You should try ethereal mace with light as it effectively gives you protection through action speed. You don't want to use non-ethereal ones as giants are resistant towards crushing attacks. Rending blow is good as it procs every monster with PA.
You should try estoc with heavy, as you can tank the damage and have good killing speed at the same time. Non-ethereal ones can also be used. Great Cleave should be quite efficient in killing monsters since it won't miss, won't be evaded and won't be parried.
For heavy, try to mix plate of protection with power of slaughter, or use power of protection. Try till you find a good balance between killing speed and protection.

At your level, it's not a huge experience gain.

Okay, that's kind of a relief.

That's really helpful. I might alter my equipment. Thanks!

Tokenizer? that could be useful... now if only I can find an easy way get enough hath to buy perks....

I was responding more to Mantra64's post. He's many levels higher than me and yet he's still using a debuff? That's what I found odd.

I don't need debuffs, but when I cast x-nerf I can whack all the monsters without caring about what monster to fight first. If I wouln't do that I will have to cast cure a few times as I don't want to have SoL being triggered.

HMm... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Is it just me or is anyone experiencing increased lag in HV over the last two days? My refresh rate between turns seems to have doubled on mutliple computers. I always disable my antivirus, all background programs, tampermonkey in Chrome, and delete my temporary internet files before I start up HV. I'm just curious if anyone else is having problems?

Right now HV feels unplayable to me. It took me 20 minutes to complete the first ten arenas.

Things seem to slow down for me at different times of the day, right now it seem fast. Yesterday a few hours before the Dawn it got pretty slow.

You're right. It's pretty fast right now. There must have been a butt load of people on earlier. I'll have to pick less crowded times to play.

I had nasty lag in the previous two hours.
Somewhat better now, but random lag still occurs frequently.

New version of Chrome with HV Stat has a memory leak, afaik.
So now my chrome-HV is quite unplayable.

While true, this is the wrong thread. Given the errors I had immediately after upgrading, I think it's likely an indexdb issue. Still, wrong thread. You want to be here.

I know, thanks. I was kind of talking to the previous people, who were mentioning some lag. Maybe it wasn't exactly HV lag, I thought...

Oh hai, Bob. Haven't seen you around for last several months or so. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So I got a Celestia Figurine, which is useless to me. I'll probably never get 20 (Was it 20) figurines for the Orbital Friendship Cannon. It would be nice if collectibles gave small bonuses. Like "+1 Agility while this collectible is in your possession."

Meh, think I'll make a small auction and put Celestia up too.

Is it me or are Healing tokens lately doing nothing?

0.71
...
- Healing Tokens have been removed from the loot table. However, the chance of a random mob drop being a token was lowered from 1/400 to 1/500. (Arena token chances were unchanged.)
-- And unless you spend them in a reasonable amount of time, they'll randomly be gone forever some day.

That still doesn't explain them doing nothing.

Nope, they still work, maybe you are out?

Is anyone else experiencing weird issues with battle items? Sometimes when I start a new battle they are not restocked, then after a number of rounds they are partially restocked, sometimes even restocking potions I have already used.
