My new crazy template

[Kurik]

After died few times to blood oath and few raiders while spawning. I got back to drawing board and made up this template.

120 sword (90 real)
120 Bushido (90 real)
120 parry (90 real)
110 resist
100 necro
90 healing (60 real)
90 tactics
90 anatomy

Done few spawns with it. Unbound energy vortexes, abyss mini spawns. Works pretty good. I'm using plate mail armor, resist are 70/70/70/70/75. I personally like plate because no stam loss unless you fight some of these tougher bosses. Against them I have stam leech on weapons.

Pros so far
-you won't get mana vamped completely.
-blood oath is no more problem.
-healing with evasion will get you out of tough situations( not easy target for raiders any more).


Cons
-making armor can be pain. Hard to get defense chance. Not a big problem with 120 parry but for some of us who have perfection issues with our armor, it might bother ;-)
- not a 100 damage increase. I'm still hitting unbound vortexes for 150-170 with perfection build up

I'm using captain johns hat for 20 sword. Other armor pieces are platemail with 5 hci reforged on them. All the pieces have lmc, stam increase on them. Most of them has at least one resist imbued. Not a perfect suite yet but this was just a test suite. Jewelry is +15 Bushido, parry, healing and 5 sword on both. Rest of points for damage increase. Using double axes for spawning with 70 hit are spell on them with superslayer and mana leech on them. Bladed staff for killing champs with slayer, 100 hml, 50 hld, 50hla.

Can you please post a pic of the complete set up of gear (like a spreadsheet or so..) and of the total item properties that you can have with this particular set ?
The only artifact used is the Captain John hat ? All the rest is reforged and imbued ?
How many different weapons do you need to carry at all times with this set up ?

Thanks.

I've been thinking about re-doing my suit in platemail. At the moment I have my sampire in a 55lmc studded leather suit but the stamina loss can be a fair bit up against the tough mobs. Can you really notice a difference with platemail?

 

[Kurik]

Here's pictures of my armor. Keep in mind that these are made just for testing template. If you are careful getting right resists for your base pieces, you can have more mods on armor. Other pieces are Captain John's Hat, Crimson Cincture, Conjurer Garb, Conjurers trinket. Like I said earlier, jewelry is all skills. 15 bushido, healing, parry and 5 sword on each. Rest of the points I used for damage increase.

Different between plate and other armor on stamina loss is big. I normally don't have any stamina loss while I'm spawning. I use hml on my weapons instead of stamina leech. That just gives me just about unlimited whirlwinds. You could change that to HLL if you want. Survive little bit better if you get huge mob on you. Champ killing weapons I did add stamina leech on them. Most of the champs hit hard enough to cause some stamina loss. Other mods on champ killing weapons are HLD, HML, Slayer and for this temp I imbued damage increase up 50 on my weapons.

 

[Kurik]

Oh, about how many weapons I carry. I tend to have bad habit to carry every possible spawning and champ killing weapon when I got out. So, I probably have anywhere from 10-15 weapons with me. Counting few more pvp weapons if I need to try defend my spawn. So, pretty much I'm a jackpot if you manage to kill me

Wow, I am impressed.....

It impresses me, because I have also tried to multiply the number of weapons I carry along but I have found myself way too often messing up with the macros to equip them.......

I am amazed at the ability to handle to have 10-15 individual macros PLUS those for PvP weapons and be able to unequip and equip always the correct weapon for the need with one strike of a key without making mistakes.....

If I have like 3 or 4 weapons I already mess them up and most often equip the wrong weapon for the need....

Is there a better way to arrange so many weapons through macros and not mistake when needing to swap them ?

Thanks.

I have my PvP weapons set in uoassist. There is only two of them, butcher knife for disarm and bladed staff for dismount and armor ignore. Depending what spawn I'm doing, I'm setting those weapons for two spots left on assist. Oh, I am using classic client. Just haven't been able to make myself to use enhance client. It is little work to keep weapons in order, but like I said, I preset weapons before I start spawning.

I guess then for the other 10-15 weapons for PvM you just unequip and equip them manually, without using any macro ? The 2 macros are only for PvP ?

 

[CorwinXX]

I have 21 macros for equipping weapons but I use only 19 of them because I don't like my current Fey Slayer weapons.

Usually you need:
- 6 macros for AI super slayers (F6 - F11)
- 6 macros for WW super slayers (Ctrl-F6 - Ctrl-F11)
- 3 macros for PvP (6 - 8)
- 2 macros for AI and WW/DS without slayer (9 - 0)
- few macros for special weapons (crafted to use against concrete monsters like Travesty, Melisande and so on)

I use HML and HSL on my weapons... Usually you need 4 mods: HML, HSL, DI, Super Slayer and have a room for one more mod (SSI, HLL, etc)

I see you have only 10 HPI, 24 MI. You DI is not 100. You mana should be very low. Your damage should be lower than it is usual. Does 100 Necro points worth those sacrifices?

 

[Kurik]

I have 15 hpi with crimson. 85 damage increase. I have 81 mana which HML on my weapons I rarely ran out. I just killed Semidar without any problem. I was hitting her average about 150 damage armor ignores. I have notice damage being little bit lower, but so far I am liking this template. Like I said in earlier post, this armor is only a test piece. With little patience you can get right resist in right places and have more mods on your suite.

 

[CorwinXX]

How have you got 81 mana? What is your stats (str/dex/int and hp/stam/mana)?

 

[Kurik]

I have 126 str, 120 dex, 37 intel, 128 hpi, 160 stam, 81 mana. With pots, im 150 str, 150 dex, 37 intel, 140hpi, 190 stam and still 81 mana. My character is elf. That's where extra mana comes from.

 

[Kurik]

Ok, made some adjustments on suite. Started to use Gladiators collar, made new armor pieces to adjust to that. Made new jewelry, ring is 15 bushido, parry, healing, 15 di and 5 swing speed increase. Bracelet is 15 bushido, parry, healing and 20 di. With that change, I didn't need Ranger's cloak any more. Instead of that, I use despicable quiver now. Instead of Conjurer trinket, I'm using mana phasing orb now. Im using 4 imbued platemail pieces, Captains Johns hat, Gladiators Collar, Conjurers garb, Despicable quiver, lieutenant sash, Crimson Cincture. My stats are now,
str 125
dex 120
intel 42
with pots I'm
str 150 hp 150
dex 150 stam 182
intel 42 mana 94

Armor has
45 hci
10 dci
44 lmc
25 hpi
5 mana ren
32 stam increase
32 mana increase
9 intel bonus
18 dex bonus
100 di.

Quite a bit better from my original test armor. Still pain to make it to get all the right resists.
