I sent you a message on PSN. I will be on later about 4pm GMT for about 5 mins then I am away for the weekend till Sunday 6PM GMT I don't have any +% experience stuff but have a few decent one handed swords and the armantin armour that you wanted

I shall check that I have the armantin cheast plate im pretty sure I do other wise you can have like everything I own I just need that helmet for the trophy Will reply again later Cheers

This is the last trophie I need to get. all I need is Lucrettis Revelation Shadow Warrior. If anyone has it could they please let me borrow it I would give it straight back. My SW is level 85 Or if anyone has a full low level set for any other character I could borrow, I want to start playing a new character but not sure whether to grind the SW as I will come back to him later in hopes of getting Lucrettis revelation or just start a new character and hope I get a set for them instead.

Im thinking that seeing as I will be using the Grim Resiliance buff exclusively and 3 of the other arts regularly I think I definately need to take the DW focus for the level issue. I think I will leave the MC focus till late in the game and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice.

I have been playing my SW up to level 84 and I am starting to get some very good RPH jewel. I have been thinking about making a SW with no focus skills and using the RPH jewels to regenerate the combat arts. I think the biggest problem I will have with this is the fact that my HLCAWP will drop a fair bit. I beleive the rule is 1 extra CA level per 5 skill points. My current SW is basically taking all skills to mastery so I would lose 15 CA levels if I do this. I also realise that I would have to socket a few of this bonuses, but I plan on making the next SW a pretty much pure melee who is going to be able to hit everything. so I dont think it will be too much of an issue. I basically am currently playing Sword sheild armour speed lore Toughness Constitution tactics lore DW Focus MC Focus Concentration My plan is to ditch the Concentration completely, I plan to be able to hit everything so the second buff of reflective emantion shouldn't be an issue because I will just do the damage myself and the regen time bonus will be replaced by using the whole RPH thing. I would replace this with Combat Reflexes Which leaves the two focuses If it seems feasible to drop them I would take Damage Lore and I was hoping Enhanced perception but I can't as its a secondary skill and I don't want any of the others. (Im on PS3 and Blacksmith is broken To be honest I don't see any other skill I would take...actually could someone please explain this with regards to Combat Discipline? "The Damage bonus from Combat Discipline affects non-weapon based (ie, spells) combat arts fully, but for weapon-based combat arts it will only boost the bonus damage from the CA (eg, if Battle Extension is giving you an additional +20% damage, Combat Discipline will affect that +20%, so if CD gives you +10%, a player will end up with +22% damage bonus from Battle Extension)." Does this mean that for example Demonic Blow will not get the 7.4% damage bonus but will only get 0.74% damage bonus OR does this only apply to mini buff type Combat Arts IE The bonus damage on a modified Killing Spree and that demonic blow/Scything Sweep and Frenzied rampage would get FULL benefits? I would also totally be able to use that combo I would totally choose Combat Discipline if this all seems to be the case. So basically If using Lots of RPH bonus's does that make regeneration times obsolete enough to the point I can swap the two focuses for Damage Lore and Combat Discipline?

I really need this piece (level 90 max Shadow Warrior SET) for the set trophy. I have spent all day grinding hoping this would drop. If anyone has one they would like to sell I have 60 mil gold, or/and sets please add me Wyatthaplo

I am a few levels past this now and have still not picked one. I just don't know which one to pick. I seem to be having damage issues, meaning im not cauysing enough. Im at a stalemate with the octopus boss on platinum, he can't kill me and I can't kill him. This makes me think I should take Speed Lore. Well I guess Damage Lore but im still not 100% sure on how that works with regards to if it gets used outside of a CA.

On the hint load pages it says that its better to focus only on Combat Arts you are going to use and it says something about regen times. My question is does reading runes in Combat Arts increase regen times for other Combat Arts?

SO I am on the verge of breaking level 65 and im still not convinced by combat discipline. The regeneration bonus seems less appealing now I have a bunch of RPH Jewels, and while I like the sound of the SS/DB/FR combo im not sure if I want to use a skill point just for that. I noticed the damage boost for weapon based combat arts (as was pointed out to me earlier in the thread by wintermane) isnt as much as I thought. My other options would be Damage lore (however im unsure if the chance for secondary effects is only applied IF a CA is used or if its always there. thoughts?) Speed Lore (this would help me avoid being hit and also help me hit more often from what I can tell) Combat Reflexes (Increased evad and if I do get hit less chance of a crit a better selection then speed lore me thinks?) I would have taken Blacksmith but am on PS3 EP and Bargaining look ok but I think I will probably make a dedicated shopper type Toon at some point I considered riding but figured it the three above would be more practical What are peoples thoughts on spell resistance? I don't really see a use for it but welcome other opinions. I guess that leaves the astral lore focus or lore, of the two I would pick focus, seems logical. So yeah my top three options are DL SL and CR having ruled out CD. I just wanted to express my thoughts on the other options as maybe im viewing what they do wrong

My main toon is my level 63 SW that has just unlocked platinum. Without dieing once. Yes bragging lets move on I dont mind having to do platinum with him to get to niob. Anyway I don't really want to have to do the Silver, gold, platinum in campaign with other characters to get to niob, from reading the boards it seems there is a way to do it, but im not sure how? It seems its an online thing, is there a way to do it offline? Could someone explain the process for me thank you.

Damage is not a problem and I didn't go for the evasion mod but went for all the defence mods. Of the two I think CD will be more useful.

I have just been researching Combat Discipline and im kinda Being swayed against it by this sentance taken from the wiki The Damage bonus from Combat Discipline affects non-weapon based (ie, spells) combat arts fully, but for weapon-based combat arts it will only boost the bonus damage from the CA (eg, if Battle Extension is giving you an additional +20% damage, Combat Discipline will affect that +20%, so if CD gives you +10%, a player will end up with +22% damage bonus from Battle Extension). My toon is a sword/shield with death warrior and malevelont focus and tactics lore. I still like the sound of the +20% regen time and the ability to have 4 combat arts in a combo but feel like I wouldn't be getting the most from the skill if I take it. (Thoughts?) My alternatives would be Riding Speed lore (Im assuming the primary role of attack and defence values is to discern if an attack hits its target, thus I would see an increase in number of hits) Combat Reflexes

Im on the verge of being able to take my tenth skill and I'm thinking about Combat Discipline. My only thing is I dont really understand combos. I realise that you can put 2 together and it will cast both those CA. Is it just a time saving tihng whereas you dont have to manually cast each CA or is there benefits form being in a combo? What if you have two CA from the same aspect? Does the regen time of the combo include both CA or just the longest one? Thanks James

LOL after reading this I decided to go ahead and finish my Silver campaign. I got the trophy killing the nameless guardians :trans:

If I finish the game before getting this achievement will the count reset on next play through or will it carry over?
