[Fencing] A Couple Sampire Questions...

[Artimesea Solari]

I decided to go with Fencing for my Sampire Build. Here is the Proposed Template:
Elf
115 STR
125 DEX
10 INT

120 Fencing
120 Bushido
120 Parry
100 Tactics
100 Necro
100 Anatomy
60 Chivy

I am on day 5 of training and came across a very nice war fork::
HLL 40%
Hit Lightning 46%
HML 45%
HSL 44%
DI 40%
As you can see it has no SSI but I will be close to 180 Stamina when I complete the suit.

So my questions are:
With the added HLL will a fork be fast enough to do DH solo ad such?

I like using forks for the special moves, never been much into swords. Is fencing such a bad thing for a Sampire?

I was thinking about splitting Anatomy for an Anatomy/Healing combo. Would a 50/50 split be worth it? Or any Combination? I know bandaids are really slow at that low of a level. Would it even be worth bothering with with the chivy spells available?

Bandaid speed is determined by your dex, 4 sec at 140+ dex (approx i believe)

Check weapon DPS here, plug in your stats, speed, etc to see what it recommends for highest DPS weapon:

Can't answer the rest, i've never done any of the encounters yet. Still building my evil mini-me.

With fencing your best weapon is going to be a leafblade in terms of DPS. The downside of fencing is there isn't a really good whirlwind weapon. The tessen (I think its the tessen?) is OK but base dmg is really low.

You're thinking Kama
(Darkened Sky ToT can be imbued to a nice WW weapon)

Tessen are the macing Fans

How important is Whirl Wind? I keep seeing that Doom it is both good and bad. I plan to do Dread Horn primarily. I guess I could see WW as good for spawning but I have other characters for that.

Assassin Spike 26.4
War Fork 25
Is 1.4 DPS difference that big of a deal especially since the fork has HLL on it too? Won't I get Leech from both the 40% and the Vamp Form or does that not stack? And the delay difference is only .25 seconds. 1.25 vrs 1.5

Think I am going to leave out bandages and just rely on pots and chivy for that. Seems like the added damage from anatomy is better than the small amount of cure/heal from healing.

I realize this is a delicate balance and small changes in template or suit or weapon can mean big outcomes but how big of an outcome is what my questions center around.

The main reason I am building a Sampire is that it is getting increasingly tough to find players that want to do the same things that I want to do!

One of the huge drawbacks to a 2 handed weapon is the inability to chug pots or at least I keep reading that. I guess a well skilled/suited character played very well might not need pots, but I am not yet skilled nor suited just yet!

50/50 healing/anat would be useless. You'd heal more with the life leech from the extra damage from 100 anat.

Sampires put any other template to shame for champ spawns.
Seriously, Wither-spamming wraiths look like newbies.
