Bushido Samurai Question

[zombie187]

I am currently running a bushido samurai template as follows;

Anatomy - 115
Tactics - 110
Swords - 120
Bushido - 120
Chiv - 100 currently bringing it up from 70.
Parry - 60
Resist - 90

I do pretty well, hardly ever find myself in trouble. I was just wondering if it would be terrible to try dropping Parry and Resist and bringing in 100 music and Disco? Maybe bring Anatomy to 100 and tactics to 100. So...

Anatomy - 100
Tactics - 100
Swords - 120
Bushido - 120
Chiv - 80
Musci - 100
Disco - 100

Just spit balling some ideas. Any insight would be great since I am fairly new to all this new stuff.

Depends a lot on what you intend to hunt, but having Discord can be hugely advantageous on a dexxer, I had it on my sampire. With Despair/Tribulation running you're near trippling the damage output you have without. Some things can't be Discorded though and some will require 120/120. Obviously it's mainly useful in long drawn out fights where you're easily surviving anyway such as Medusa or Paroxysmus.

Um I have no idea what to hunt but I would like to do Medusa and Paroxysmus. Both I've never done. I can easily stone on and off though. Any other things I may be able to hunt with just 100/100? Anyway to fit 120/120?

You can do Medusa and Paroxysmus with your current template but I suggest you to get 120 chivalry. The main advantage of 120 chivalry is +15 SSI from DF so you can get 35% SSI without weapon.
Check this this template:

https://stratics.com/community/threads/bushido-paladin-gear-updated.310009/ (120 Parrying, 0 Resisting, Protection)

If you want to have Disco... Well, you can get Disco on items.

Theoretically you can have:
shame ring 20 music + 20 disco
shame brac 20 music + 20 disco
mark of travesty 10 music + 10 disco
exceptional pole 15 disco
song woven mantle 10 music
minstrel talisman 5 music
Total: 65 music + 65 disco

So in theory you can do with 55 Disco and 55 Music but some of this items are difficult to get. For example, my Disco Swordsman has 77 Disco and 63 Music (120 and 118 with items).

100/100 isn't so useful for using the masteries, but you can jewel up to get things Discorded, always feels like a bit of a waste to me though.

To 120 them both I would drop Chiv to 50 or 60, and Tactics to 90. The damage you get from Despair alone will more than compensate.
