It's been a long time since I played HG:L, I started off when the game launched back in '09? I purchased the life time membership, got the hornet skin ect and had a blast, unfortunately I didn't make it far until the game went and got flagshipped... So now I have a bunch of questions and I'm hoping I can find some answers. Anything you can answer would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

1. When it comes to items... How do you know/can you tell what is truly better? I've attatched an image of my currently equiped vs an item I have in my inventory currently, I used to think that the larger number was the items damage, I later found out (recently lol) that that's just the rating, so my question is how can a level 13 item be rated so much higher than my currently equipped items? I was told that Cinderspike items damage is flawed and they actually do a lot more damage than what is stated (7-10) and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?



2. As far as stats go, is there a recommended stat allocation? I currently am playing a BM and I feel like I should be putting a lot of point in to ACC for damage however I have needed to pump str/vit and will to wear my equipment and have enough life to not die, thus i have zero points in to Acc, is this normal? How about other classes, what is recommended for them stats wise.

3. I'm looking to roll another toon, my favorite toon was a Summoner in HG:L but I honestly only see mainly three classes in HG:L - Eng/Evoker/BM... Are Summoners still viable? Can they solo everything like they used to or should I run an Evoker? I'm thinking of maybe running a Guardian but can't find any good information on him.

If I think up more questions I'll make an edit, thanks again in advance!

Cinderspike's have a secondary attack, basically, you hit something, it does the listed damage, then after a second or so, they automatically suffer another hit. Similar to some of the ankle biter mobs (I forget what they're called) that leave darts in you.

Summoners are still very viable, can easily solo the game and very good in a party.

Thanks for answers to a few of them. would you happen to know how much damage the second one has? Is it that much more that the item is rated so well?

No idea, playing a gun guardian at the moment, and it's been years since I used a cinderspike. It's definitely more than the damage figures stated.

Well the reason the third one has such a higher rating is you have augmented it three times while the others have not. The mods on a sword effect it's rating as well as it's base damage.

Edit: For stats don't use your points unless they are needed to equip an item you want to use.

it says the damage under the big number, I believe the big number is supposed to be DPS at least for guns, not sure about swords though
