Returning player...which tamer template would you prefer for soloing hunting?

[ultima77]

Decided to dig out my old Tamer template and give him a whirl in light of the Greater Dragon addition. What are the benefits/negatives of the following templates, especially with regard to solo hunting with an Elf?

Template 1 - Mage/Tamer
Taming 110
Vet 110
Lore 110
Magery 110
Meditation 120
Evaluate 120
~50+ Necro (Wraith Form, Corpse Skin, Omen)

Template 2 - Necro/Mage/Tamer
Taming 110
Vet 110
Lore 110
Necro 110
SS 120
Magery 110
Rest into Med (Probably around 60-70)

Template 3 - Disco/Mage/Tamer
Taming 110
Lore 110
Vet 110
Music 120
Disco 120
Magery 100
Eval 100
Neco 20 (Wraith Form)
Yup, that's 790 (45 from jewels, 10 from Talism, 15 from conjurer`s grimoire)

Template 4 - Mage/Weaver/Tamer
Taming 110
Vet 110
Lore 110
Magery 110
Eval 110
Spellweaving 120
20 Necro (to sustain Wraith Form)
Rest into Med (probably can squeeze around 50-60 with Spell Woven)

I can solo just about everything except peerless bosses and the DF with this:

Tame 120
Lore 120
Vet 120
Magery 120
Hiding GM
Stealth 80
Med 60

The only reason I have 120 Lore and Vet is for stable slots, 110 lore and GM Vet would work fine here and I could bump Med. I mostly heal with magery and only run low on mana doing peerless. 120 Magery is for no fail on summons and better healing. I also have 110 EI and Med on a stone if I want to run a straight Mage/Tamer.

You'll be a killing machine with temp #3

I run:

115 Taming
115 Lore
100 Vet
95 Magery (to cast invis 100%)
120 Music
120 Disco
120 Provo

All with Jewels, items ect.

I can solo Doom with this temp.

Hmm. I would say temp 2.

It seems you are wanting wraith form, and it will only give you the good mana leech if you have high spirit speak.

Disco/tamer is very potent, but I would worry about fc/fcr jewels. If you can somehow get good faster casting without losing all that skill boost, then it would be powerful as well. I personally rarely heal using magery, but there are occasions when it's really nice to have that option, and being fast helps so much. I don't see the point of wraith form in this template though.

For some reason, I thought Wraith Form's mana drain was independent of SS. This clears up a lot, thanks!

One last template I was mulling over...let me know if it's feasible.

110 Taming
110 Lore

120 Peace
100 Magery
-----

Yup it is possible forsure with +15 jewels I run a template like:

105 Magery
120 Lore
120 Taming
120 Vet
120 Disco
120 Peace
120 Music

825 points ,only usable in KR because of the fast dressing macros, your 780 should be possible in 2d

 

[weins201]

I run a true 6 X legendary Mage Eval Med Tame Vet and Lore

Had that temp for ages and refusr to play with it and I do very well.

I cannot SOLO DF and some others but I dont feel ANY template should be able ot solo ANY BOSS or DF. But with one more freind I have been out to every other boss and succceded.

Welcome back and good luck. If oyu are on ATL and need help with pets le me know

I really like this template. I can then stone off Music+another bard skill for hiding+stealth... or stone off one bard skill for weaving... me like

Do you need med, tho?? Maybe drop disco for Med or Provo for if it's a 1 on 1 battle?? Thoughts?

Inmho...After you have tried pet hunting with 120 Disco, I think you'll see why it's Disco all the way.
