ABC archer suit help

[heqqr]

I recently got the Animated Legs of the Insane Tinker, and I want to rebuild my suit around them.

I am having a problem getting 45hci.

I am going to have 15hci on ring and brac for 30.
Conjurer's Trinket will give me another 10.

The last 5 seems to be a big pain.

I want to keep mace and shield for HLD, and free up a mod on my weapons.

My options seem quite thin from there. Maybe go gladiator's collar route, but I have no idea how long the 150 durability will last.

Next option would be to enhance elven armor

If I were to go the route, what would be the best way to do it.
Imbue a piece with 8stam/8mana/8lmc or with whatever. Then keep enhancing until i get 5hci, and then finish the suit to what i need.

Option 2:
Build an entire suit except for one piece and keep trying get exactly what i want from enhancing.

Option 1 would be the faster unless and much easier.
Option 2 would take forever, but the payoff maybe better.


Any help on this is much appreciated.

thanks heqqr

Option 3: Gladiator's Collar has +10 HCI and +10 HPI

... check the Items listed by property page in the Items section on the main page.

Personally I wouldn't worry about the HCI when you're ranged and can use Lightning Strike.

I would have Mace & Shields, Tinker Legs, Cloak, 4x 8 Stamina/8 LMC parts, Primer (or Trinket which most people seem to run mainly now... I do it the other way around, Primer main and switch to Trinket when needed), leaving you 70 DI to make up between the weapon and jewlery and 7 LMC.

The main reason I want as much HCI as possible is because I will be spawning a lot on this character among others things. I may just run with 40 hci.

Oh for spawning, Fel spawning, I'd want max HCI/DCI, which unless you're using Faction arties would probably mean different legs.
