Could someone tell me if the exp curve of proficiencies is linear of degressive?
I was wondering why the nobody in ladder has higher proficiencies than lvl 30. I got 1 lvl in less than 1 day and there are people who play ladder slashers for some years now.
Afterall lvl 100 axe prof. for instance would give 100ee which is a sick increase of dmg.

to get 1lv u need 1000 points
to get 2lv u need 2000 points, so 3000 totally
to get 3 lv u need 3000 points, so 6000 totally, etc

also, u get prof only when u are higher lv than ur prof lv (that might depends on the mob's lvl as well, not sure about this one) but let's say ur prof lv is 5, u get prof from 6lv onwards

now it's rly hard to get prof, most of ppl who are at 30+ got there before the update

Okay, so concentrating on one weapon type isn't very rewarding long-term.

nowadays hardly anyone cares for prof tbh, a few patches ago not many ppl cared for weapon prof but charm prof allowed u to multicast and it was actually very effective, now it's harder to gain points + they're not as useful, so yeah, basically the only thing that using one weapon type gives u now is the same str:dex ratio needed throughout the climb, for example mixing daggers and swords on samu wouldn't be very good since 1 uses dex and the other str gear

That's too bad. I feel like proficiencies would be an awesome possibility to motivate yourself.
Maybe it should be 1000 for lvl 1, 1200 for lvl 2, 1440 for lvl 3, 1688 for lvl 4, etc... ( 20% increase per lvl ) or 30% or 40% something like that.

they motivate me but people doesnt play for them, profs are like bonus to them but I agree with you, they are hard to get, not like they used to

What?

I love my proficiencies!

It may take longer to rank up now, but who doesnt like extra EE just for clicking?!

It's a shitload of clicking nowadays Yea, prof's are nice though

Another 1.000.000fg question:

Do you receive exp on a proficiency by:

[ ] doing as many attacks as possible with the weapon for the desired proficiency.
[ ] killing as many enemies as possible yourself.
[ ] having as many kills as possible within your group of slashers.
