Is using a shield worth the penalty?

If you are fighting a really tough boss i would say it would be worth it.

How about Fireshot vs Poison shot? I calculated that Poison shot is better for battles more than 105 seconds long.

Shields: Yes worth it when soloing and is target (I never fight easier mobs then 3 levels up, prefer blacks tho)

Fire / Posion: Get either on up really high, high up it won't matter, you'll never have the non fire or non posion except early.

Which effect would you have active though, Fire or Poison?

I'm using fire, higher odds of casting, lasts long enough for a bunch of other arrows and in that way casting fire every seccond arrow, and since all these are stackable...

But all in all, it is compleatly up to each and everyone, but the difference ain't that major =)

Ah, I see, thanks. Just one last question- how long are your battles when you fight 3-4 levels above you?

Extreamly hard to tell.
If I'm lucky and trishot and a good critting time, we're talking less then 60 secconds.

If I miss a lot and take some hard beatings no more then 2.5-3 min.

Fighting blacks 5-6 levels up can take as long as oh 4-5 min.

Oh, interesting, it's actually faster at a higher level/with a shield. Are those with the time taken to regen to full health?

Regen full health? I leave combat with full health XD

a tip for archers Hmmmmmm i personally say reroll ALL HAIL ZOMBIE CLAWS!!!!!!!

O.o I'm getting my blocking up NOW.

are zombie claws those ****ty weapons u get before the flailing treble? i've seen them but i've never known any good players to use em :P

ty for advices...1 more question for ath...why are you using psych magic? you are playing with healing pets/whip/shield?

Blue Gems to use. Mana regen, Daze, Mesemerize, Taunt (LOVE it), Aura of Reflection.

Boost up skills in Blue.

Wizardry (seccond gem pouch, aka escape puch)
Gem Handling (so I can use more then 1 gem of each type)
Replay (draw a new blue once I use a blue (fun only))
Aggrivation (Boosts taunt, increases length eith up to 25% and makes it so 75% of all mob resisitng fails)
