Lynk uses Pots to keep that from being an issue. I know thats what I use as well. To some extent its preference. If your not a chugger then your not going to be able to use it to its full effectiveness and in that case it might be better to go with the faster weapon.
It's depends on weapon and ssi on the weapon. Hammer pick: yes. Longsword: yes if it has 20% SSI or less. Broadsword: yes if it has 10% SSI or less. Leafblade: no (~95% HML max) IIRC my swordsman uses a broadsword with 30% SSI + 87% HML and a katana with 82% HML (or may be 86% HML).
Lynk I'll take that timed challenge on Rikky, slasher, Stygian dragon, Semidar, Meph (will probably loose on Meph though :/ ) if you would like
I don't think so. i made a long sword last night and did only HML and the highest I could get was 87%.. how are you getting 87% mana leech on a broadsword?
I reforged it using a copper hammer. Max possible value is 140% of the cap. So if you can imbue 72% HML on a weapon then you can reforge 100% HML on it. (But it takes 154 intensity on the weapon)
Ah i didnt catch the best "sampire" part of it, i thought it was an open challange to any pvm dexxer template
So I havent tried this, but what happens when you imbue the max HML on a weapon and then try to add SSI? Does it just not give you the option to add the SSI?
HML value will be adjusted to new SSI value. For example, 1. You crafted an exceptional longsword: DI 40% 2. You imbued max HML on it: DI 40%, HML 87% 3. You imbued max SSI on it: DI 40%, HML 67%, SSI 30%
Mephitis is not hard. So you use mace weapon or with hit fatigue. Now stamina dawn falls quickly hit fatigue 50% than mace weapon.
