[Bushido] Hows this for a Sampire suit?

[Heimi]

Stats after chugging:

131 HP
171 Stam
77 Mana

Suit without weapon:

DCI 51
HLD 30
LMC 36
DI 20
HPR 4
MR 3
EP 50

70/70/63/64/75 (In Vampire form)

Only thing that bothers me is the low DI, or is that less of a problem with EoO and Honor?

 

[Farsight]

Only thing I'm not seeing there is DCI.

Sampire without DCI = ghost.

Question on suits for samp,

HCI or DCI?

I know in an ideal world both, but we are not in an ideal world

 

[Connor_Graham]

DCI is more important than HCI. The whole key to the Sampire template is NOT getting hit.

 

[RichDC]

Oh ok...Ive been going about it the whole wrong way then...i thought the idea was to hit them harder+faster than they hit me

 

[Lynk]

I personally use faction arties for my suit, just because my sampire also farms my silver for my guilds faction traps, horses, arties, etc.

Faction: HOL, Fey Legs, Quiver, and a little DCI on my ring. Mace & Sheild glasses. Storm Grip, Faction Talisman, and the rest of the HCI on jewelry.

Then for the wep try to get mana/stam leech and HLA on there. With 120/120/120 wep/bush/parry HLD, HLA, capped HCI/DCI you're pretty much set up.

 

[Heimi]

Ha, my bad, the suit has 51 DCI also

 

[Farsight]

In that case, you're set up better than most sampires out there.

yup connor's right dci is most important....and why 51 all u need is 45 its capped there....and as far as hci its wonderful to have but i run my sampire with healing and no ss....i have no hci and rely on lightning strike...so as long as my weapon has at least 40 mana leech im good.....i can solo gauntlet and df...but cant solo DH yet...and prolly wont be able to without ss...and another thing i noticed is hld is very important as well...i wear folded steel for dci and not mace and sheilds so my weapon must have hld..if it doesnt im whiffing and dying

That's part of it, but the defense is the key that allows you to do this. If not for 120 Parry/120 Bushido + 45 DCI, you'd be getting pounded on and would have no way to leech enough to stay ahead of it.
