So i have decided befor i try sampire im going to try this build since im poor and have the PS already think it could work?

Swords 120
tactics 120
anatomy 120
bushido 120
necro 100
chiv 70
Spirit 70

Then Equipment Wise (once i can afford mace and sheild and cc)
Heart of lion
mace and sheild
storm grips
cc
jackles collar
primer
infinite quiver
blackthrons exemplar
snake skin boots

that would give me 2/9/0/23/4 i would need resists on the sleaves and i would only be at 40 dci if sleaves and jewels didnt have any and i wont go into the other mods. . .

You WILL notice the lack of parry.

But it isn't the cookie cutter sampire template, so I say give it a shot!

I know you are using the resists from Blackthorne's Exemplar, but that will be ineffective with your 120 bushido. You don't want to use a shield with bushido or you negate the blocking value of that skill.

We've been having a discussion on parry vs bushido in the "Last Scroll(s)" thread in this forum that might be relevant for you.

So are you thinking of going back and forth between vamp & wraith form? Or do you want the SS to make your necro spells last longer? In my experience with my guys carrying 100 necro and use chiv, I don't use the necro spells very often at all as it lowers my karma quickly impacting my EOO and CW durations. Just trying to understand you 70 SS in the template.

Makes no difference.

As an elf with 120bush and 0 parry with or without a shield you have a 5%chance of blocking.

A human should have a 10%chance of blocking without a shield.

RichDC -- Yeah you are right on the bush with shield. I keep getting that mixed up.

Ya so ill get the added benifit of a sheild and the extra dammage of tactics and anatomy at 120 thus ill have higher stats then you should in theory and more leaching. but it will cost me my parrying but i figured the leaching should more then make up for it.

It works very well and is more diverse then regular sampire cookies.

Use curse weapon cast wraith now and then bring along a familiar all good things for a player to have for utility and added power, I have done that build and loss of parry and evasion is not big deal when you can curse weapon leeching back massive hp. and why use a shield at all hehe chug potions

Equipment i would like to advise thinking about it a lot. Especially the choice of arties consider fey legging over heart of lion and drop the jackals / storm grips for resist ++ mod crafted you don't need dex you need stamina.

As for the people who can't fathom why ss, its to have a good duration on curse weapon eoo lasts long enough even at dread and for something like solo dread horn you don't need cw as much as eoo and curse weapon with a build like this one. i went 110 ss and only 100 tact anat for proximus and champs corpse skin is handy combined with consecrate. Karma is a pain to regulate but not that bad just hit up a few succubi or miasma's before you go on a big hunt.
