Well you're calling yourself a "prof hunter specialist" whilst having a highest of 7 prof is the biggest joke of the topic.
I'm not even hunting for prof and i've got 2x at 17. Lets even compare heal profs, also miles ahead



not a bad thought.

I never called myself a specialist... I have always been a Prof Hunter since I started LS. What you don't get, is that I deleted my Softcore character that had way more Ranks (22 Sword just to name 1 of the many double digit ranks I had) and also the double digit ranking HC characters that died which I deleted. Stop fucking around with bullshit when you don't know the history remarks.

Use QD all you like, it boils down to the same simple truth... amount of clicks, speed runs don't count... fuck test it out for yourself... set your goal to 10,000 actions in group runs, then do the same while solo'ing using your usual gear, now do something fucking different, use crap/mediocre gear during the start of each wave, then when you get say 8-10 prof points, switch to your EE gear to kill off the wave and switch back and forth for the next 10,000 actions... basically you still get the same results outside of the last scenario being beneficial.

Welling @ level 30 using level 25 items and dropping V / VI / VII gain a good rate of prof points. Basically get like max 10 gain per item vs VI+, and still decent rate gain vs V's... mind you I use Heavy weapons and kill V's of a bit faster than a normal weapon.

Did not take note on Tier III / IV's though (next time). If Well still remains, will be able to test VIII's three times (what I have in vault)

The Rate (consistency) of weapon prof welling is a lot better than encountering normal monsters or EPs while solo'ing.
The Rate (consistency) of healing charms don't change when welling in comparison to exploring catacomb or maps. But has a higher Rate (consistency) compared to weapons (and maybe cast charms)

Well, based on using Heavy weapons and noticing more 'consistency' of gaining +1 on prof rank table while welling vs exploring catacomb etc.

EDIT: As for welling, depends on item lvl (dropped in) / character lvl and equipment level for best Rate (consistency) of prof gain.

Still testing Welling:

@ level 53 using 35 battleaxe / 25 focus:

TierIII / IV / V / VI dropped = 0 Rate (consistency)... did not gain a single prof point for weapon, but same consistency for healing.

VII / VIII dropped = Low Rate (consistency) ... gained like 3 maximum during kill for weapon. Basically the same as normal killing 3 monster wave @ current level, difference is that I can gain more heal profs before killing off the last mob in a wave.

Don't have 30, 35, 40 or 50s to test them out, and the well did disappear.

Still testing welling: Level 13 using TierIII Battleaxe vs TierIII items dropped into Well;

The Rate (consistency) is good, it is better than normal explore kills. Basically 5-8 prof gain per well monster.

Well died after 15 items.

Level 32 welling Tier V / VI's using 20 & 30 Battleaxe.

Rate (consistency) seems decent, but since killspeed is faster, most likely more prof gain for normal axe with same Level & EE since more actions.

Well died again, around 10-15 items again.

Level 2 Welling using T3 Items (Battleaxe, plate, wild 0 ee, all + Max Life and 2 items with total 27 dex add) = Welling T3 items:

The Rate (consistency) is great. For normal weapon, definitely need ee + max life on weapon;
Since rate is great, need at least 30ee on wpn as well to increase killspeed, still wpn type factors to take into consideration ... low/high end damage and consistent damage.

11 actions = 10 prof
10 actions = 10 prof
14 actions = 10 prof
11 actions = 10 prof
11 actions = 10 prof
Null (got 10, did not record actions)
Null (got 10, did not record actions)
Null Damn... got Rank 2 Battleaxe ... so off to level 3.
10 actions = 10 prof
10 actions = 10 prof
10 actions = 10 prof
12 actions = 10 prof
10 actions = 10 prof
10 actions = 10 prof
11 actions = 10 prof
11 actions = 10 prof
13 actions = 10 prof
13 actions = 10 prof . leveled up to 4
12 actions = 10 prof: Well died.

So, need to keep actions to around 14 that kills off well monster if speed is your issue. Personally the max life helps a ton without needing to town for regen, fish or comfrey. Junk items all of them.
