Anyone happen happen to know what Zipacna, Steam Cleaner, and Faust's INT happens to be?

I'm assuming that INT for enfeebling magic works the same way as elemental magic; that is 1 INT = 1 magic accuracy for the mobs INT + 10.

That being said, i'm wondering if I should invest into an Ixion Cloak (which gives +13INT & 5M.acc [total of 18M.acc]) for landing Bind & Gravity. Compared to Warlock's Tabard (15 Enfeebling magic skill) & Elite Beret +1 (5 enfeebling magic skill) [totaling 20 m.acc].

Assuming my INT isn't too high, having an Ixion Cloak would be multi-beneficial:
1.) An excellent standing piece (Regen & Refresh), I don't have rdm afv2 hat.
2.) An excellent mnd piece for potency on slow and paralyze (13 mnd & 5m.acc), I don't have goliard hat.
3.) A good enfeebling piece for Bind and Gravity, only a 2 magic accuracy loss when compared to W.tabard & Elite Beret +1

That mag acc loss from Tabard/Beret will make or break you in soloing.

a -2 macc loss will not make or break me (assuming my INT is low enough for 1 int = 1 macc) soloing.

ill give you a quick example, i use a swift belt in place of witch sash to lower recast timer. I have had many successful solos with the macc loss.

1 and 2 are not good arguments for using Ixion for INT enfeebles. 1 and 2 are simply arguments for owning Ixion.

Yes its a good idle piece (assuming no AFv2 hat or refresh body), and it is an OK for MND enfeebles (although there are better options), but it isn't a INT enfeeble piece.

It is close IF your dINT is low, but outside of HNMs there aren't many mobs where you can't break the 10dINT on with ease. Most RDM INT enfeebling build will be 100-120 INT.

I apologize, let me elaborate a little bit.

I currently own Elite beret +1 & a V.cloak.

If I can determine Zippy, Sc, and faust's INT levels, and assuming it turns out that they have high INT levels compared to my INT in my enfeebling build's for bind + gravity, I would sell my Elite beret+1 & V.cloak for an Ixion's Cloak because I feel it would have greater benefits. A 2 m.acc loss will not "make or break" me in INT enfeebles.

As for MND potency, what are the better combos? Errant (10mnd) + Errant hat (+3 mnd) for a total of 13mnd potency? Ixion gives 13mnd + 5m.acc..... and like I said in my previous post Goliard hat is out of the question. and im not going to waste my time doing assaults for yigit hat.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this because it obviously happens more often than you think. Faust/Zippy do in fact resist bind and grav at the most inopportune times usually resulting in yourself dying. So if you are serious about soloing them....why would you gimp yourself?
All this is coming from a RDM is is almost maxed out on enfeebling sets of both potency and skill (Just need Macc earring set to replace my Enfeeb/Omni for INT enfeebs.). Just my little self disclaimer there.

This is what I was referring to~

I've already soloed them... many times. The question in deliberation is about sky NM INT levels.

If someone can help me determine their INT levels, and their INT levels prove to be higher then mine, I would find the stats on an Ixion Cloak to be more beneficial than a 2 macc gain with W.tabard & Elite Beret+1. Whether or not anyone feels that I am "gimping" it is irrelevant; simply don't use it on your character if you do lol.

If by utter trash you mean incurring a slight loss for a greater benefit overall to do something I can already do with ease.... then yes (again assuming INT levels permit it).

Enlighten me with your wisdom Daggy, what are these NM's INT levels?
* patiently waits for another one of your "trashy" posts *

[AlbertoMagno]

Problem is that you are asuming 1 int = 1 skill, and 90% of time is 1 int = 0.5 skill, so the loss would be 9 skill, not just 2, and even if its just 2, that will make or break you too if you are around the line, and w/o the relic hat you shouldn't be too far from it for those mobs.
I dont know the exact value, but shouldnt be too high when in gods and other HNMs is usually around 90-110 with some exceptions¿?

since you're too stupid to understand, this is my bind set
You would do better with AF1+1 head and mahatma/errant body/af1 body.

[Forgotten_Memory]

Simple solution: Get af2 hat?

Wait Wait! I'm the stupid one? Seems to me that you are straight up mathematically challenged...
You suggest:
Warlock's Chapeau (+3 INT) & Errant body (+10 INT) = 13 INT = 13 M.acc at best case senerio
Warlock's Chapeau +1 (+5 INT) & Mahatma (+11 INT) = +16 INT = 16 M.acc at best
Warlock's Chapeau (+3 INT) & Warlock's Tabard (15 Enf skill)= 18 M.acc at best but lacks the mnd benefits that Ixion Cloak offers
Warlock's Chapeau +1 (5INT) & Warlock's Tabard (15 Enf Skill)= 20 M.acc at best but I don't have AF+1 and this combo lacks the mnd benefit Ixion Cloak offers
War Beret+1 (5 enf) & W.Tabard (15 enf) = 20 m.acc. Which I currently have but want to replace assuming INT levels permit

Ixion Cloak Gives:
+13 INT +5 M.acc = 18 m.acc at best with the mnd benefit and refresh + regen full time

And please don't give me the BS argument that W.chapeau gives fast cast.... apparently everyone who posted on this forum already thinks that a 2m.acc loss will "make or break" me.... Just imagine what they would think about a 4 to 7 M.acc loss

P.S. Why the fuck would you use a Mahatma Body in place of warlock's tabard in your bind macro if you have a Duelist's Chapeau? Lawl and i'm the stupid one hahaha

You seem to have already made up your mind before posting here. So just go buy the fucking item.

Because he prefers to be utter trash?

My advice would be not to take advice from a hypocritical mathematically challenged retarded 10-year-old with down syndrome... speaking of which, why hasn't Rikkitikkitavi posted in this thread yet?

You must be fucking illiterate. I didn't come in here to discuss whether or not I should buy an Ixion Cloak. I posted asking about mob INT levels.... Based on MOB INT LEVELS I will make my choice.

.... and I thought FaggetMaster was challenged... apparently he isn't alone.

Also, take a glance at the title YOU made.

" What is Zipacna, SC, & Faust's INT? Investing into an Ixion Cloak "

" What is Zipacna, SC, & Faust's INT? Investing into an Ixion Cloak "

Your a fucking idiot. The sub title, not the "title", was used for background information; Hence the reason why I want to know INT levels. If I really gave a fuck about your opinions I would have stated "SHOULD I invest into an Ixion Cloak?"

If your gonna quote me make sure you understand the Full Quote.... the full quote, in which you just so happed to neglect putting down, means something completely different then the partial quote you have just posted:
It's BACKGROUND for my main QUESTION. "I was wondering, meaning debating with myself, if I should invest into an Ixion Cloak..." I will make my choice based on the results of mob INT levels. Not once do you see a question mark when I referred to the Ixion Cloak in both quotes you have just posted; meaning I don't give a fuck what YOU think I should do.

Go back to school little girl and relearn the rules and grammar of the English language.
