So another totally different question but still in the PvP thread. I have a sampire that I have built up and am running at spawns and other content. I am pretty new to melee fighting as I've always been a ranged fighter so I'm learning as I go here. I run GM Chiv/Necro/SS/Tact/Bush/Parry, with 120 Swords & lvl 3 Swords Mastery. I have assembled an awesome suit, at least in my opinion, from all of my farming over the years on my Tamer. I have 45 HCI, 45DCI, 95 DI, 54 LMC, 50 EP, 35 SSI, 30 HLD, Resists maxed even in vamp form, HP I think 143 without strength potion, 95 Mana, Stam 170 without agility potion. No town buff included with this build but I'm not sure what I would add to it, How can I use this to defend well if I'm raided at a spawn?
I'm thinking to keep a different weapon on me that I can quickly change into but I'm honestly not sure what that weapon should be, maybe something that has hit fireball or hit fire area along with HLA, HLL, HML, HSL. I could use a poisoned butcher knife for the Disarm & Infectious Strike move against another melee character though my poison would be low level and just for annoyance. Or would I be better just trying to catch them and land Double Strike or AI's on them with a double axe or bladed staff? Or is there a different weapon special I should be looking at? I'm normally in Vamp Form and could cast Corpse Skin on an attacking player. Then I could either have a 100% fire damage weapon or just use consecrate weapon.
Is Blood Oath or Mind Rot useful since most Pker's are going to have high resist?
I figure I can cast evade to try dodging magic attacks since most mage pk's are going to open with a exp + ebolt or Flamestrike. I was also toying with running Protection off of a scroll.
I also have a GM alchemist to have for extra potentials. After I cast Corpse skin, I could throw out some Great Conflagaration Potions to take advantage of my 50 EP.
Anyone have any other thoughts? Run run as fast as I can?
