[Evaluating Intelligence] Eval/Anat Defense

[Lord Taliesin]

I'm making a new mystic/mage/weaver and have never used eval+anat for defense. I've got 40 skill points left over from using the crystaline ring so I've put them into anatomy giving 120 eval and 40 anat real skill. If I understand correctly this should give (120+40+20)/2=90 defensive wrestling. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something with this mechanic.

 

[Lord GOD(GOD)]

That's correct. Though what is the other skill you have 120 in?

You obviously have 100 Mage, 120 Eval, 120 Mystic, 100 Focus, 120 Spellweaving, 40 Anatomy. If it's Med I'd say go 60 Med, 100 Anatomy.

 

[Lord Taliesin]

120 Mage (100+20)
120 Eval
120 Med
120 Mystic
120 Focus (100+20)
120 Weaving
40 Anat

95 sdi +arcane empower/reaper
6 fcr
100 lrc
40 lmc
208 mana
29 mr
140 hp
17 hpr
40 dci

I suppose I could drop med for more defense but 90 defensive wrestling plus 40 dci seems to be working well enough for spawns. The char is gargoyle so I'm mobile with RC and reaper summons unless I use reaper or stone form. The only time I get low on mana is spamming AoE spells for low level spawn.

 

[Lord GOD(GOD)]

Do you have FC or are you playing in Prot?

Given the suit and if you're using FC I'd probably drop Med completely for 60 Necro/60 Focus, then you could Wraith, Corpse, Omen.

Using protection. I've got a necro mage as well but wanted the mount speed with 5 slot summons from being a gargoyle. I suppose I could use soul stones to swap med for necro/ss depending on the situation.

I like the flexibility with your setup, quite nice. Flexibility is what'll keep people guessing....creatures too if they could "think" like us in game. ha! >.>

Use one of the cleanup Trinkets for extra 10 skill
