Best for Doom: Sampire or Whammy

[kantoska]

So I have all my important skills maxed out on my char, with 120 Swords/Bushido/Parry and 90 Tactics, and 65 Chiv. Im looking to take this character to doom, and I was wondering what the best investment in points would be, either in making a sampire or a whammy. With sampire I guess I would go 100 resist/100 Necro. With a whammy, what would be best, to go with 40 necro/120 spirit and put the rest into more chiv/tactics?

My main question is, which would you conisder being the most effective character in doom? The drawback, as I see them, of the sampire is that he would have to come out fairly often to get his swampie repaired, while the whammy would probably have a hard time keeping up karma while in doom, and so would have to come out to re-raise his karma. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Six in one, half dozen in the other.

Doom is a place where both whammy and sammy are effective.

The one piece of advice is to have resist on your template. It'll save you a lot of pain (even 80-90 resist helps a ton).

Dragon Barding deeds can be insured, and anyone can use Arms Lore to check the condition of a dragon's armor with 0 skill.

Didn't know that, good piece of info to know. Now I have another question. How necessary is a demon slayer. My problem is I can't find one with even halfway decent mods.

It's not absolutely necessary, but it does help. You can get away with using a standard Sampire Twink.

Just for the love of god remember apples!!!

I have killed myself many times hitting the DF for around 200 get blood oathed and almost 1hit kill myself!

That's why we swap Anat for Resist lol.

 

[RichDC]

Ive often thought of that, Is 90ish resist really worth it though?

 

[Connor_Graham]

Oh yeah, very much so. Do the math on the duration and amount of damage comparing no Resist to GM. It's a huge difference.

 

[kantoska]

How much better is resist at GM compared to 90. Basically, I have 190 points to play with and can either go 90 tact/GM resist or GM Tact/90 resist and was wondering what you would recommend. Thanks.

GM tact. You get bonus damage for GM tactics. It isn't a lot, but its noticable.

I'd say the same.
