I run 44 but not by choice, the RNG refused to pop me a shield with DI SSI and 5 HCI, only giving me 4.I will go one step further...for me 120 weapon skill and 45 hci is a must
Do you need a reforged heater shield with 5 HCI/5 SSI/25 DI on Europa?the RNG refused to pop me a shield with DI SSI and 5 HCI, only giving me 4.
No, my goal is 5/10/30. I know it's possible, but it might be by the time I'm done I've got the most valuable shield in the game...Do you need a reforged heater shield with 5 HCI/5 SSI/25 DI on Europa?
I don't view LS as a worthwile PVM strategy because of the ease of getting 45 HCI on suit, and being able to leech enough mana to chain AI or DS.Everyone has different results. When LS (lightning strike) was in, I always ran 45 DCI and whatever HCI I could fit. Today, I would try to max both since they impact your AI (armor ignore) and DS (double strike) attacks.
There is a tactic: use LS till you get a critical then switch to AI . It saves your mana and allows to make "one more AI" (counting critical as AI). For example, if you have mana for 3 AI in a row this tactics allow you to get in a row critical + 3 AI.Perhaps in PVP the ability to land the critical hit is useful, but I can't say I've seen anyone use it.
