_Belgarion_ - Dreamweaver Arc User

I've tried verifying the patch again and the icons are still all '?'. Looks like I'll have to reinstal the whole client again b:sad

Running on mac - snow Leopard 10.6.8, and using CrossOver to run the game

Looking at the base stats, assuming on the R8R we get GoF and max att+ stats and also assuming 160 dex (153 requirement but take 160 for the extra crit %) and the rest str (345 at level 100), sage mastery and with no other gear factors. Also using the following expression for the attack damage ( ( 1 + ( ( 2 * STR / 3 ) /…

Hate to disagree but the only skills that are in my opinion 'useless' if you don't PvP are the anti-stealth skill from luminance and the transposition skill from corona. All the other skills in the expansion are useful. Corona - summon skill (lvl 80, can be bought or traded), transposition (lvl 100) Shroud - sacrificial…

Somebody on Dreamweaver has over 2 million damage to that thing...

72 views and nobody has an input?... b:sad

In my personal experience from leveling my barb recently, too many seekers opt for the pure DD option without having suitable HP from gear and refines, which results in them being too squishy, which means they die fast and can't pull properly. Its no good putting out lots of damage if you can't stay alive to do so. I'd aim…

I'd like to see the Endless Universe give prestige and influence. Nothing in there is any use to my two toons as it can't be account stashed so I don't see any point in doing it, but if it gave prestige and influence I would

You need the right amount of prestige to unlock the tier, then you need to spend money and influence to acquire the items. My guess is you don't have the 5k prestige to unlock the tier yet

And its working for me now

I was in game and dc'd, can't get back in. Sounds like database issues on PWI's end rather than an issue with my pc which is what I wanted to check. Submitted a support ticket so hopefully it will be sorted out soon. Lucky I didn't DC just before the lunar bh boss XD

It is cheaper to go TT nirvana than lunar nirvana, but the lunar is not only better in terms of defences but also isn't bound and so can be traded between characters or even sold. I'm going full lunar nirvana on my seeker with either r8 recast sword or maybe shoot for the r9 sword and ring then work slowly on the rest. As…

Yea I'm mostly looking at tanking and catapulling, so primarily concerned with defensive skills. Occult I guess could potentially be used defensively but I'm sure there are better uses of genie energy.

So if I decided on a STR genie something like this would be what I'd aim for ToP Solid Shield Alpha Male AD As the definite skills. Now assuming I have at least a 6 skill genie, what's worth using as the last 2 skilsl? I'm keen to get an anti-stun skill so I guess Fortify would be better? Also on the matter of holy path,…

Map 4 belt is good, I use it on my seeker and will on my barb when I am able. In my opinion a good and often overlooked belt option is the Stone of the Jungle one - http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/28291 is the basic one. While not as good as the warsong one its still G14 and much cheaper - on my server Jungle stones go…

As sins though we have access to 3 chi gaining skills, 4 if you have cloud eruption, so if you find yourself stun/sealed and thus are short of a spark, can gain chi back easily. Granted you probably wont want to use inner harmony like that, and perhaps wont have cloud eruption, but rising dragon strike and tackling slash…

I went demon on my sin, and instantly loved it. The attack speed bonus from spark at 89 is awesome. And at 99 with TT99 gear I think demon beats sage. Now when you get to 100 its a bit different, and it depends on how much coin you have to invest, both immediately and in the long term. If you can afford the G13 daggers and…

It depends what your talking about doing and what stage of the game. End game - Barbs are needed in TW certainly, but mostly as a catapuller. Delta too they are great, though with a good squad of other classes they are not as vital as they used to be. Nirvana, well lets just leave that alone shall we?... However when it…

Ok ty all for the input, once I get enough spare spirit I'll work on levelling frighten some more as its only level 5 atm, and I'll try spamming what other AoEs I can. Working on alpha male genie, just need some LP and I can learn it

You can replace an equipped charm by equipping another charm - I'm guessing they have a cheap low level bronze charm that they replace the plat charm with once it's almost run out. To the OP - sounds like you got scammed by one of those catshops. Badluck with that, it does suck, but if it's the case there is nothing you…

Either an expansion north of Etherblade and haunted path with ice dwelling people living in small villages with perhaps a large ice castle fort type thing as a mini-capital city. Could perhaps come with new classes, I'd like to see a HA class that specialises in using poles (a la dragoon classes in other rpgs, but maybe…

Personally I'd go for the second option, though I would swap the warsoul of earth for the second cast nirvana helmet to give you the first set bonus of 5 attack levels, and then refine from there.

I am working on these daggers for my sin, and when I get them i'll do some testing to compare them to the R8 as thats what I have at the moment. I'm sure somebody will get them before I do though. Personally I think they will be slightly better than the R8 but nowhere near the R9 or Barrier thorns+8/10. It will be…

yup i've been having the same problem today

Yeah I should also add I'm not intending to go down the rank route as I have most of the lunar nirvana already, and I don't want to spend all that coin just for the R8 ring

Depends what your using it for and if your sage/demon. If your sage you don't get an attack speed boost when sparking, which is where wind force becomes very useful. However it doesn't stack with demon so isn't worth getting if thats your plan. I generally have enough VIT to get to 150 energy and enough MAG to get to a…

I'm sure there will be an expansion on the quest line in Morai. Without giving away any spoilers, from what I understand it doesn't tie it up entirely and leaves room for at least 3 more bosses. I like how Morai looks, and the new mobs are a nice change. I enjoyed the Endless Universe, it was nice to do something different…

While the PvE content becomes more boring end game, the PvP content is what keeps many players going as it is more dynamic and more challenging. Granted its not the same as a PvP server, but don't dismiss PvP on a PvE server. TW is still the focus of major factions, and last time i checked that was PvP...

How about the aps-ers start to complain about mages in PvP? They don't have the range or the spike damage or the aoe's that casters have. If you want to game to be balanced in favour of magic classes in PvE then surely it has to be balanced in PvP too. Yes it does take considerable time and effort to make a 4-5 aps class…

Anyone know if there is a way to get around this without reinstalling directx? My windows laptop has a limited user profile and wont let me instal anything on it (because technically its a university one b:shutup) so I've been running the game off an external USB drive. The laptop has the latest directx installed so in…
