Being the cheap noob that I am, I think a full topaz set is a good idea. I just need to level exploration to 12 every time I rebirth. The -5 Will doesn't really matter, right?
Any thoughts?

It'll matter once it adds up. :gloom2:
Will affects the player's chance of going Deadly, as well as increasing Critical and Wound rates.
Every 10 Will adds +1.0% to Critical.

Depends on what weapons you use.

I swing from 150+ will to 0 during pot poison and I don't notice anything.
I think it's a good trade off. Make sure you have 30% crit for wm and you're set.
Then again I can't remember the last time I had to roll for deadly, is there a formula for this?

How so?
I use a Two-handed sword, and dual daggers for Final Hit.

As Long as you have over half HP you will NEVER die in one hit. NEVER

If you get to 0 will, the only crit you'll get is from Luck, Weapons, and Enchants. Assuming you're a free rebirther and that you use the Bear/Golem Slayer in a Single Blow title, you'll probably have 0 Luck. If your weapons and enchants give good crit, you'll be fine. With your current set, you'll probably have enough crit to crit Ciar Basic/Int monsters, but maybe not enough to do the same with Shadow Mission monsters.

Kind of irrelevant. Unless you have a low-hp build or really high PD, most mobs will hit you more than one time when they hit you.

My advice is to not use topaz for everything.
Find alternatives if possible. Topaz the rest when alternatives cannot be found.
Allow some variation like Stiff tail cap + thief (effectively giving you +12% critical).

Why not quartz set? it gives same dmg, and decreases LUCK, if you're a free rber as Chillax said, it wouldnt matter if you decreased your luck seeing you already have 0. Plus you only need level 8 Explore :D

What does free rebirthing have to do with any of this?
Mind you I haven't done a free rebirth in 6 months or so.

You don't get any Luck at the age of 17 right? so since most ppl use bear slayer with a single blow title he probably has 0 Luck. Topaz is -5 will so you lose 0.5% crit for every Topaz es you use :3 they are talking about crit xD

No Luck gain from leveling, meaning that your source of Criticals if you use the Bear/Golem Slayer with a Single Blow title is from equipment, enchants and the Will stat. The OP pretty much only uses a 2Hander and a pair of Daggers for FH. The 2Hander doesn't give alot of Crits, even when upgraded, so the OP would need +Crit enchants to make up for it. And since it's a Topaz set, that means that the OP is going to be wearing metal equipment, meaning no Stiff Tail Cap, since you can't put Topaz on it. It also means that the OP can't put Stiff on the 2Hander.
So with the full set, the OP will probably only have about a 7.5% chance to Crit on monsters with no Protection, assuming the OP has 100 Will and a 2Hander upgraded for highest Max Damage instead of Crit. That's not very good, and if the OP gets to the point where he starts to spam Shadow Missions, he'll never be able to land a Crit, unless he uses WM, in which case it's still unlikely that he'll land a Crit anyways.

Somewhat off yet on topic.
Get both Prefix and Suffix. Even though the Suffix one, I think, was only - stats, wouldn't it be awesome to have every equip have "Topaz Topaz"? :D
