[Archery] Help, I need a shoehorn (ABC+ Weaving template)

[BadManiac]

Here's the template I had in mind.

120 Archery
120 Bushido
100 Spellweaving
100 Anatomy
100 Tactics
100 Healing
100 Resist
65 Chivalry

That's 805 kill points. I need some help here. How do I shoehorn this template into 720 point, while remaining viable for PvM. It's NOT for PvP ever, so take that into consideration.

Also consider that I just started a new shard, don't have much gold, < 1 mil, and no access to high end arties for a suit, at least not to start with.

If not for PvP, then how about simply ditching resist? Looks like a fun, but very mana-heavy template. Best of luck!

 

[BadManiac]

Ditching resist means a lot more paralyze oo0o0o0 doesn't it? Was hoping to have an easier time against spell casters having resist. At least that was the plan.

Well, the template I've used and love is:

120 Archery
110 Weaving
90 Tactics
90 Bushido
90 Healing
90 Anatomy
75 Chiv
50 Med

Doesn't 90 tact and anat lower your damage output a fair bit?
And how much difference does 110 Weaking do over 100?

What stats are you running? My other problem with making this template a reality is I need the HP to survive, dex to swing fast, but also enough mana, how do you balance that without a multi billion arty suit?

 

[Taylor]

Yes, 90 tactics lowers your damage output. If you have the extra skill points - e.g., from a hunter's headdress - it would help to raise tactics and anatomy to 100. (I prefer Spirit of the Totem over Hunter's).

110 vs. 100 weaving affects how often you cast WOD. I use WOD a lot. If you don't, you can safely lower to 100. (Personally, I wouldn't go lower than 105).

For stats, you want at least 120 hp, 145 stamina, 80ish mana. 40 lmc is a must, too, due to the mana requirements of weaving. For arties, I wear stormgrip, rune beetle carapace, spirit of the totem, conjurer's trinket, orny (helps with weaving casting), crimmy, shroud of the condemned, and quiver of infinity. For the rest, you want runic pieces with 1-2 mr and as much stamina increase as possible.

if you have access to someone with imbuing jewels is the way to go ....

Yeah, you could put together a pretty sweet hci, di, dex, fc/fcr set.

and most of those skill except spellweaving can go on jewels up to 15 each jewel I would go 13 its much cheaper so inother words you could get plus 26 bushido,heal,anat etc you could easily get 85 points
