Ok, I have a little "problem" going on and I didn't know where else to post it, so I brought it here. I am going to reset my level up points, but I can't figure out where to put them.

Attack is great to have if you are countering many defence users. But again, only rage and fury will increase it.

Defence on the other hand is easy to penetrate, but you can use evade, rock skin AND aura of protection to increase it. And with constitution and flinch it's pretty devestating.

But still I can't figure out where to put them, and I will not go 50/50. All to one. Please help me out and vote! :)

HP+Armor gear.
Not only that, having extra HP will give you some small measure of cushion vs reflection. If you're into pvp, reflection can really be a PITA.

Thought of it, but if you use much attack, you are pretty weak VS LD + a bit attack and dmg...

but then again I am a defence guy. I only use armor if the other guy is dumb enough to use attack/dmg set (using 4500attac and 2000dmg).can't understand why people do that when they are defending/attacking :-P had a guy who cleared my bounty a few weeks ago and he used only attack/dmg gear. so I found out the exact moment when he attacked and changed gear the second before he attacked xD I beat him 15times in a row and he was above my level :-P

Easiest thing - add up the max attack items FF available to your level, vs the max defense items FF available to your level.

DC is a pain for Defense.

KE helps up your attack.

NV is either or, lol.

Defense in the way you mention is great, with one drawback. People will use def vs def to try get past you.

With the sets I try to work with I have always tried to create something that is hard to hit, and be able to hit back. If this is something you are looking for then I would personally go attack. with the pharaoh's set and dagoresh at your level (allowing for the loss of some levels) you will be able to use KE to boost your attack, then rage and fury for some more fun. with those on, you can then start to tank def/damage items and become a right pain to hit, while still being able to hit back. Alternately if you go with the armor kits that are popular at your level, you again really boost the attack, meaning it will be very hard to make a def damage kit to safely hit you.

I am always a fan of being able to hit back, so it's attack that gets my vote.

*edit* note to self. Proof read before hitting submit. fixed a typo :P *edit*

Think I will go with attack. Seems to be the most tempting one :D + Rage gives +0,2% per point increase in Attack. so + fury it will be +0,3% just like defense :D

I dunno about attack, at 415(, I could get 5k+ with KE alone with Sarabaite, Dark Blade and Broken Fang sets and that with DC 170 that can take down 7k+ Defense.

DC rips straight through Defense but having a Constitution buff lvl 250 and a lvl 175 Flinch would mean the person would need a lot of attack so maybe Defense would be the best :S

at 415+ there's no safe set in def, even with your level up points there, def relics captured and the best potions (and the target having level up points in damage).

Don't waste points putting them in def as it won't help.

I can get 5,5k with some items I have now. with EW 1k I get 6k and with DC 225 I can take down about 10k def if the target don't have flinch or constitution ;)

317 lvl, with EW1500 it would be over 7000 attack with 310 lvl setup.

What items did you use?

I think that with Sarabaite, Helm of Ursa, Doth set, Rune of Whintol, Xinderoth set(amulet, rune) and Ring of Godahu all perfect and FF with EW, EA and KE should give a pretty goot attack and dmg stats :) gonna try it when I get high enough.

It's 310 lvl setup, check my level on that picture, also it was some time before EW1500 was added to the game.. I couldn't wear all those items you mentioned at 317 lvl ;)
