Any way to deal w/ WoE leeches? Hate building a run w/ a guy to sack for that guy to get screwed of a chest because some fuck wants to join.

With the recent rise of leeches, it's hard to get someone willing to take the sack spot to begin with -.- so been unable to set up runs for this shit.

How much dw/haste you have...

[TheDirtyHobo]

What else do you need to know? =/

How much haste you would have with/without Raparee, other gear you have, what you're fighting, etc.

[Aja]

Ahh, let's see. Atm DW would just be from Mirke and Suppa. Haste pieces are W. Turban, Rapparee, Dusk Gloves, V. Belt, Aurore Brais and Ballerines.

[rog]

.65/.63=1.032

no haste: .79/.75=1.053

Raparee wins regardless of buffs.

[Aja]

Alrighty, thanks!

Solo it? T1's are pathetically weak, not to mention sleepable.

What's a solid Dnc Evis set look like assumign RR and VV atmas?

Assuming you're mainhanding a rank 4 (36-44 base damage) dagger, you only need 48 STR to cap, so VV alone pretty much takes care of that. Focus on pounding out DEX attack, crit gear. I don't know too much about THF gear, so correct me if I miss anything major.

Aias Bonnet/Love Torque/Pixie/Brutal
Loki's Kaftan/Heca+1/Jupiter/Rajas
Cerb+1/Cuchulain's belt/Tumbler Trunks/Rager Ledelsens

Is what I would ideally shoot for.

What does the Emphatikos Rope Aquaveil enhancement do?

[Snick]

Otherwiki says there is a Yagudo High Priest by the telepoint in Meriph Moutains (S) and ApRadar shows one there too but never is up :s It get removed or something?

DNC, not THF. This should be ideal or close to it.

EDIT: I realize there's a fair bit of attack gear in there, swap it out for DEX and shit like Cavaros Mantle if you feel you're capped via buffs, Stalwart's, whatever. In no particular order you'd be looking at Ample Gloves, Cavaros Mantle, Pixie/Jupiter Earring, and Soil/Shadow Gorget for swaps if that's the case.

Been trying to wrap my head around pdif for the past few days, and I keep running into conflicting sources.

The values on wiki give the equations for one hander cRatio capped as:

fMin(cRatio) = 1.2 x cRatio - 0.82
fMax(cRatio) = 1.2 x cRatio + 0.05 which implies:

Min melee 1.58
Max melee 2.45
Min crit 2.58
max crit 3.15

right?

I've also been told that min crit was 2.6 from various sources; I've also been given the values of

Min melee 1.57
Max melee 2.478
Min crit 2.655
max crit 3.15

without a source. The discussion page on the wiki that lists those equations don't seem to give a decent source for those findings.

Anyone able to shed some light on how accurate these equations are?
