I appreciate the suggestion, and I might be able to fit the points in (template listed below).
Right now, I see the following buffs/debuffs:
45 DCI
HLA (-25 HCI)
Discord (14% resist and skill reduction)
Tribulation (-20 HCI)
Assuming there's no HCI decrease cap (maybe it's 45?) and a 120-base wrestling skill, I'd get hit ~1/6 swings. Parry could decrease that further assuming you can discord then swap jewelry out, which would give me extra skill room (***does anyone know if this still works?***).
90 + 30 Discord
90 + 30 Music, maybe +35 with a talisman swap, too
120 Swords (Daisho for dbl strike and feint)
120 Tactics
120 Bushido (evasion, feint)
80 SS
40 Necro (wraith and curse weapon)
60 Parry (I could possibly put another 30 parry or 30 SS on the jewelry I swap in, too, or I could go with 80 chiv with jewels if consecrate and EoO seem to be needed)
Lack of chivalry means I'd want to find/craft a 100% elemental weapon for whatever I went up against, but I can still hit the damage cap with perfection and a slayer. This also makes it so karma hits from curse weapon don't matter. Wraiths can cast recall, too, so getting around isn't difficult. Protection would likely be a must for curse weapon and tribulation, and the -15% phys resist is offset by the +15% from wraith form.
Other possibility --
90 + 30 Discord
90 + 30 Music, maybe +35 with a talisman swap, too
120 Swords (Daisho for dbl strike and feint)
120 Tactics
120 Ninjitsu (feint is still possible, and now I get mirror images but lose momentum strike and evasion)
90 SS
40 Necro
50 Bushido
Third possibility --
90 + 30 Discord
90 + 30 Music, maybe +35 with a talisman swap, too
120 Swords (Daisho for dbl strike and feint)
120 Tactics
120 Ninjitsu
99 Necro (VE)
31 +30 Parry
50 Bushido
This one receives 20% damage reduction from swampy and 20% life leech, which may be enough to stay alive w/o curse weapon, especially when you figure in discord, HLA, tribulation, etc. Mana leech from weapon is sufficient to keep tribulation rolling and still work in some specials and mirror images.
I'll make some changes on test center and report back here for anyone interested. The annoying part there is that despite having basic imbuing ingredients, I can't imbue much b/c the secondary elements have to be farmed if I want a demon slayer weapon for example.
