Whats the best PvM Templates that can do everything?

[ig2ku]

I heard Sampire are the class that can still do everything, but what are your thoughts is this wrong?

If its wrong let me hear your opinion
and
If thats correct fill me in on the new Sampire template that can do everything, or send me a link to the info, cause stuff has change since I last played and, I need to get back into the action and I want to know what it cannot solo, and I hope it can do the new dungeons and champ spawns,

 

[Merus]

For solo play I still think the sampire gets the award for most versatile.

Lots of options:
Mine is
120 Melee skill(I prefer mace)
120 tactics
120 Bushido
100 necro (can be swapped for healing for mobs where life leech doesn't work)
120 resist/120 anatomy swapped on soul stones
80 chivalry (+15 on jewel for 95)
60 parry

 

[Smoot]

Bush dexter can do more than sampire.

120swords
120tactics
55parry (5pts archery from quiver completes 300pt lmc bonus)
85chiv
100healing
120bushido
120anatomy

100 damage increase on suit
20ssi on suit

bladed staffs look like:
50 hla
slayer
75 life leech
100 mana leech
50 stamina leech

 

[THP]

this is gonna get fun...........

sampire gets my vote...im sure to hell there will be more......

 

[Norrar]

I enjoy my bard template

120 Music
120 Discord
120 Spellweaving
120 Focus
120 Mysticism
100 Inscription
Rest in magery W/ + Magery items for recalling and invis

 

[Dag Nabbit]

My 'glass cannon' template that is a pure caster.

1) Magery 120
2) Eval Int 120
3) Mystic 120
4) Spellweaving 120
5) Meditation 120
6) Focus 120

50% total sdi,3fc/4fcr,40% lmc,10 mr.

I am also working up this template to see how effective it would be.It would be my 'dragon slayer'(leather resource collecting) template,as it would allow me to have an RC up and skeletal dragons fighting for me.

1)Mystic
2)Focus
3)Necro
4)Spirit Speak
5)Meditation
6) Resist Spells

 

[Tomarke]

I still enjoy my Peace/Disco/Tamer. I have 120 Provo stoned and can be swapped in/out as needed.

120 Lore
120 Taming
120 Disco
100 Magery
120 Music
120 Peace
100 Vet

Naturally not all real skill - 105 LRC, 70/70/70/70/75, 40 LMC, 15 MR, 1415 Luck

That's my basic suit, I have others for different occasions.

 

[weins201]

What is Everything? Sampire seems to be the one that can do it all, Every PvM adventure can be handeled by them :-( but with soulstones the sky Is the limit small tweaks here and there perhaps 5 soulstones and you can rock them all.

 

[azmodanb]

I play a necro warrior.

A samp w/o bush

All 70's.. 45/45 hci dci .. Tons of stam over 180 total on suit. And 100 Di

120 chiv. For res .. Holy light. Etc.

I run vamp form and have all super slayers .. Waraxe ...

120 parry.

Tons of mana gen and stam puts me over 180.

Its fun .. Can rez .. Can also pvp with chiv for healing and super pvp Waraxe.

 

[azmodanb]

Also have black staff for champs to do hit area... For most spawns .. Im worth quite a bit insurance.. But don't die much. Also use pots for the times Ima die situations.

Sampires are over rated
A human max damage warrior can handle 95% of everything a sampire can
but is A LOT more versatile on what he can take on. Meaning, he can kill plenty
of stuff Sampires run from. The only drawback, its a labor intensive character.

U can't leave in the middle of fighting to pee and expect to still be alive when u
get back. You actually have to PLAY the character to survive.

120 wep skill
120 anatomy
120 tactics
120 parry
GM bushido
90 healing (enhanced aids for effectively GM healing)
50 chiv

Being human u get the JOAT (Jack of all Trades) bonus so u can cast arguable the
best 2 defensive spellweaving spells with zero real skill. With a lvl 6 focus for attunement
and gift of renewal, confidence, evasion, band aides, and potions if ur in a bind it makes
the template uber strong in survivability while giving you max damage on everything.
Add in orange petals, time your heals and confidence, and make sure to have a wep
capped in mana & life leech... WINNER !

Also, use 100% weps specific for what ur fighting so no need to cast chiv consecrate
weapon spell. This leaves more mana and time to cast divine fury if stam gets low and
spam counter attack and lightning strike for even more damage.

All things considered, this template is harder to play and requires more timing but wipes
out more things and faster then any sampire . Added bonuses : you get to sport
a nice tan, your not pasty white, and you don't stink of vampire B.O.

EDIT: In hindsight, I should add that the weps skill needs to be melee as archery nerfs leechings (not sure how it works with throwers). Also, add in 2 or 3 pieces of metal (chain or platemail) armor because the reduced stamina loss bonus given from them keep ur stam from dropping much at all when u get hit and divine fury will more then compensate to keep you swinging at the caps.

Smoot, how hard is it to get the 100 DI and 20 ssi on the suit? The advantage of a sampire is you can have a pretty decent killer with a fairly inexpensive studded leather suit with no runics or enhancing, just legendary tailor and imbuing. Is your template a lot more expensive and harder to make?

 

[Lord Nabin]

Great post and great responses

This is what I like to see from community

*tips a glass of good old Moonglow red in salute*

"Tavern keeper! Drinks for everyone! This round is on me!

Except for the Moonglow red, set that aside for me"

*flips a couple of gold coins in the tavern keepers direction which are deftly caught, bit for authenticity, and squireled away under the tavern keepers apron*

 

[Acid Rain]

So glad to have your approval and wonderful to see your take on this thread's question . ^^^^^^^^^^

 

[roninaxx]

gargoyle;
120 throwing, tactics, anatomy, magic resist,, chiv, healing. tons of stats and mana and stam on suit.

 

[PlayerSkillFTW]

I got a Sampire/Whammy that i use for general PvM, like farming Essences at the SA Mini-Champs. He is...
120 Swords (i like the Stam Damage of Mace Weps, but Swords has a better weapon/arty selection, notably the Defiler of Virtue)
GM Tact
GM Necro
GM SS
GM Bush
GM Chiv
GM Parry.
With this template, i can switch between Vampire Form and Wraith Form depending on which is better for the situation. With Curse Wep up, i have 70% Life Drain in Vampire Form (more than 3x as much as most Sampires, since they don't have SS for Curse Wep), and 50% Life Drain/21% Mana Drain in Wraith Form. With that much Life Drain, i don't put Life Leech on my weps, since it would be a total waste (plus Life Leech in general has sucked since it got heavily nerfed years ago). There are some things this template cannot take though, like the Slasher of Veils, Stygian Dragon, Corgul, Osiredon, etc. For that kind of stuff, and events, i use my Thrower.
120 Throwing
GM Tact
GM Anat
GM Healing
GM Resist (change up with Mysticism for RCs sometimes)
GM Chiv
GM Focus
With a 100% Cold Damage Soul Glaive with 45% DI/30% SSI/Dragon Slayer/44% Stam Leech/33% Mana Leech, i can often times do 200+ AIs and drop wild Greater Dragons down to 30% Health before they can even do a Fire Breath.

Pair these with a Bard/Mage, and you got some serious PvM power.

Its relatively expensive. Theres tons of different sampire setups now, a macing studded set you dont even need ssi (just town bonus) cause you can get your stam up into the 190s. you sacrifice some damage but can get by on it. a swords setup can be done with just ssi on weapons (sacrifice mana leech) and swing double axe a little slow (1.5)

You could spend 125mil plus on each jewel, or use woodland armor for some hci and damage inc and find cheaper 10ssi jewels. Youll need 2 jewels 25di, one woodland 10di, prismatics 25di (light of the way no hld i dont like those) Conjurers trinket or mana phasing orb.

If you get lucky and find cheap jewels that work you can cut costs. this isnt a 20mil setup tho, more like 100 - 400 for armor and jewels before arties / weapons.

Do you have any idea how much fun that is? hahaha. I do it all the time when I'm on my tamer & using my greater, especially during champ spawns. I just hit my 3 key (which is my "all guard me" macro), cast invis, pee, then come back to a pile of corpses at Shinryu's feet (as a huge classic Final Fantasy nerd, calling it "Dragon God" is definitely appropriate.)

 

[Acid Rain]

With the human JOAT I just used the hide skill standing against a wall when nature calls . But when I'm playing the game, I like to actually have to do something to stay alive .

 

[Eärendil]

If you want to survive and win in the most remote places with no help around, I would suggest a MAGE-MYSTIC-STEALTHER. Otherwise an ALL-SPELLCASTER-MAGE (Necro-Weaver-Mage-Mystic).

Yeeeees! No fighter, if you ask me. I love fighters. But mages are MUCH more fun ;-)
