Returning Player Question

Hello, haven't played since 2007-2008 and my core group have all since left the game as well, mostly just curious if Sampires are still the kings for solo peerless/spawns/EM events? or has that shifted to necro throwers?

I'm seeing a lot of throwers over sampires personally, just asking as I'll probably be playing solo for awhile until I bother some people enough to check the game out again xD

Thank you ^__^

I'm not sure anything is the king, per se. I think the current trend is to drop the 'pire piece and just run a bushido/paladin template with 100% HLL on the weapon, now that we can get enough SSI on the suit to run 100 in both HML and HLL on a weapon.

Bushido/paladin without necro rocks.
100% HLL weapons help a lot, but depending what I am fighting, I prefer to have an elemental weapon over 100% HLL/HML. And you have a wee bit more space on your template since you don't need 99 necro.

Also, make sure you're wearing either metal or studded. Meddable armour sucks for warriors!

I gave up my necro sampire form for the bushido paladin and I don't miss it at all.

That is precisely the template I run on mine. It is wonderful!

Are you able to solo the Blackthorn Captains without healing?

It depends on which captains.

Some I've found respond better to a character with healing, and no life leech on the weapon. For the bards, I find it easiest to use a thrower or archer, as they discord my melee toon.
The macers, I stay away from at this point, don't want to break my suit.
