I've been putting some thought to creating an optimized sampire for champ spawns. In particular, the sampire should be effective to solo vermin horde, undead, arachnid, reptile, and abyss (demon). I'm not concerned with Forest Lord, Sleeping Dragon, or the UOML/UOSA champs.
With this, I see the following as required abilities:
- Whirlwind
- Ability for Wraith form (for Semidar)
- Basic PvP resiliency
With that in mind, this is the template I am thinking about:
RACE: Human
120 Swordsmanship
120 Bushido
120 Resisting Spells
100 Tactics
100 Necromancy
100 Spirit Speak
60 Chivalry
I'm going to try running with only 2.5s weapons with 20 SSI (15 Weapon + 5 Cloak of Augmentation). Radiant Scimitar (Whirlwind) and Katana (AI). With this, I can run with lower stamina and therefore push my Strength to 150 and mana over 100 and still swing at 1.25s. Each weapon would be optimized for the spawn type. I would try to run with FC 2. Protection is out as it would kill my Resiting Spells and make the resists harder to fit into the suit. If this doesn't work, I can switch the char up to the traditional sampire stat setup (120 STR, 10 INT, 125 DEX) and push SSI on weapons to 35 with the cloak.
There are a few odd situations such as what to do with my swamp dragon when Semidar arrives. I guess I'll just dismount and leave it in a corner out of the spawn area while I'm in wraith form. There are times when wither will be the preferred option to clear early spawn fast even with the karma loss.
What do you all think? Could I make this viable for soloing all of the traditional champs (minus Oaks)? The biggest issue will be surviving the raid. If I'm seriously out numbered I'm not worried -- I'll die. But for a 1v1 I'd like to win or at least get out with my SOTs. How can I buff this char to account for that? My only healing in that case would be Chiv, pots, confidence, and SS. Would that be sufficient? Should I slant my suit to fit 70 DCI or is it just not worth the hit in other beneficial mods and just run 45 DCI? Would you fit Enhance Potions into the jewelry?
Thanks all! Just looking for ideas to complete this concept.
