💡 Advanced Tips & Strategies

Damage Optimization Tips

• Balance is Key: Don't focus only on damage%. A mix of damage%, critical, and pierce often performs better
• Know Your Caps: In PvP, damage is capped at 250%. Plan your builds accordingly
• Pierce vs Damage: Against high-resist enemies, pierce can be more valuable than raw damage
• Critical Optimization: Aim for critical ratings that give you meaningful hit chances (generally 100+ for PvE, 500+ for PvP)

PvP Specific Strategies

• Damage Cap: PvP has a 250% damage cap, so additional damage% beyond this is wasted
• Critical Block: Consider your opponent's block rating when building critical
• Resist Consideration: Many PvP opponents have 40-60% resist to your school
• Versatility: Consider off-school spells for opponents with high resist

PvE Optimization

• No Damage Cap: You can stack damage% as high as possible in PvE
• Boss Mechanics: Some bosses have damage caps or special resist mechanics
• Blade Stacking: Learn optimal blade stacking for maximum damage
• Critical Synergy: High critical builds often outperform high damage builds in PvE

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ignoring Pierce: Pierce is crucial against high-resist enemies
• Over-investing in Critical: Diminishing returns make excessive critical inefficient
• Forgetting Blade Order: Blade order can affect damage calculations
• Not Considering Block: High block enemies can negate critical builds

Gear Optimization Guide

When choosing between gear pieces, consider these factors:

• Damage vs. Critical: Test both options in the calculator to see which gives better results
• Resist vs. Pierce: Against specific enemies, pierce may be more valuable than damage
• Health vs. Damage: Sometimes survival is more important than raw damage output
• Pip Chance: Don't forget about utility stats that affect your spell casting
