Enhance Pots Mandatory?

[Bort of Atlantic]

This is for the following solo PvM champ/peerless build:

120 macing/swords/fencing
120 tactics
120 anatomy
120 bushido
99 necro
91 parry
50+30 chivalry

The way the suit is panning out, here are the base jewelry pieces:

Ring

5% SSI
15 HCI
15 DCI
25 DI
+ ?

Bracelet
15 HCI
15 DCI
25 DI
LMC 1% (this is the downside of tinker legs + mace & shield glasses; only 4 pieces of armor to be imbued with 8% LMC + 6% on mana phasing orb +1% on ranger's cloak = 39%)

I can put a total of +30 chivalry on these, but it means +50% EP isn't possible. I am also tempted to run with a 2-handed weapon for the most part, and that would mean less chugging for sure. As pretty much every suit I've seen posted makes use of 50% EP, please let me know if what I'm going for isn't viable (I could probably drop parry to 61, but I'd like to have chiv at 80% to guarantee consecrate works).

I was also dabbling with the idea of dropping EP 50 for just straight dex and str so I would have a higher static str/dex for when I forget to chug pots. I think you would still come short 2-3 dex/str when you chugged, but you would be ahead when you forgot to chug or died and had the mobs take your pots.

To obtain maximum mana pool it is necessary.

But it isn't a 'must have'. I just like having 120 mana and 40 pt heal pots.

Resistspell is better for champion spawn than anotmoy.
There is no obstacle,when anotomy 0 of peerless boss.
Only peerless boss fight,anotomy is better.

I like FCR better than EP.
I dont like waiting time.
I use human,my mana is 58

Champion spawn monster like to loot potions.

How much extra dex and str do you get with 50 EP?

Edit: nevermind. I went on TC and crafted a 50% EP ecru ring. Holy hell. It gave me like 36 extra dexterity and strength.

Building new suit to incorporate 50% EP and 100+ mana like, right now.

To each their own, but I disagree.

Champion spawn monster like to loot potions.

If it is no obstacle, then you shouldn't die and there shouldn't be any potions to loot!

 

[Capt.E]

There is no spoon.

Isn't it part of the fun to face death?

I don't use EP on any of my PvM builds (sampires, wraith throwers, etc). But Lynk is totally right... to each their own. Give it a try if you want and make your own call. I often use 2H weapons and don't carry pots for these chars.
