[Bushido] Anat or Magic Resist vs Dreadhorn?

[G.v.P]

Hi guys, rebuilding my Sampire, he's a

120 bush
120 fence
120 parry
100 anat
100 tact
99 necro

and wondering if while keying for Dreadhorn and doing Dreadhorn is it better to have 100 anat or 100 resist? i figure you need to use gcures/apples either way so I figure resist would be pointless, but always worried about paralyze ... trap box? haha

I assume you've got 61 Chiv on your template too, right?

I knew I forgot something, yeah, his current build is actually 88 necro 70 chiv (using a ring for Necro w/ HCI and other stuff)

Go with Anatomy. Resist won't do much for you. Just make sure to have a trapped box and you'll be fine without Resist

And go without a saddle or it is too easy independent of your choice of skills.

Huh?

its clear. if you have a saddle, he is just a lot easier to mount and ride. not much of a challenge with or without resist. Bareback is significantly harder.

lol okay by saddle you guys mean lesser hiryu / swampy, yeah?

Sure. If you sit on a swampy with exceptionally crafted saddle it will not be a fight but just horse butchering. Without saddle the Dreadhorn has at least a little chance (same is true for Medusa).
BTW I would also rather take anatomy than resisting spells. DH's constant poisoning will wake you up anyway when you are paralysed.
