Bathory

Is bathory good in niff? if you're like mid-pro? cuz it says lessen the damage of shadow property monsters by 30%?

[HaruSama]

lessen the damage of shadow property monsters by 30%?

This is not Bathory. Bathory enchants your armor with shadow property, which makes the shadow property attacks from Dullahans miss on you. It is quite decent for skellington since thats the strongest attack you can encounter there.

I still prefer Disguise for armor, though. ;3

[4n0nym0u5]

then whats a good armour in niff besides disguise (I use diguise) anything like lessen dmg of shadow property?

[Shsunsta]

You can look into Evil Druid as well, if you don't want Disguise or Bathory.  Honestly, Disguise is the best, since with ED, you can't be healed or ressed.  Pain in the butt. lol

cheap armor win

ED is good for Blacksmith unless you have Osiris or something, since it will help you not be AGi'd down - at least, so I'm told.

ED is good to for stone curse immune and neglect dullahan skill but disguise can do just fine as it's cheap
osiris's agi up is to counter agi down..but meh..not necessary once u trans to ws

[notthecheatr]

Yes, but does ED prevent Agi Down too or not?  And AFAIK you still want Agi Up as a WS, unless you just put a lot of points into Agi - Cart Boost only boosts walking speed, not attack speed.  I hate when my aspd goes from 180s to 160s >.>  I'm told ED prevents that, and of course Osiris can counter it with Agi Up.  Am I missing something?

[redhairweasel]

idk if u use osiris clip but
osiris only give 7 agi and it's hard to depend on that to maintain 190aspd and big mob usually give agi down
plus with agi up...u have the chance to lose your mob easy
about ED..i never noticed that but i doubt it prevent agi down

owh well..i still love my DDBS mace...where your aspd never drop..u dont even have to cast adrenaline rush and u can use it to other char

[Shsunsta]

ED does not prevent AGI Down.

[SwiftStrike]

yeh i hated that, even with ED it doesnt block it. forced me to use GTB until i got 77+vit for disguise

[notthecheatr]

Damn, stupid misinformation

Fine, guess I'll have to get DDBS or something else...

[4n0nym0u5]

so bathory is good in niff or what?

[Eliphas Levi]

All the guides for mobbing I've ever read say Bathory or ED depending on your preference or what you can get a hold of. I've always used ED (And got agi downed a lot) and would certainly recomend it for helping you stay alive while niffing. when you do die just log an alt priest to warp you back & have your flame endowing sage on the same account for a quick switch so it's no hassle.

Honestly never tried a bathory to make a fair comparison but that I've never felt the need to look for another armor so that should be a good indication.
