Thanks Gwen. Here is the specs on my straight warrior's bracelet (don't ask the cost) - Tactics +15; Swordsmanship +15; Antique; Night Sight; Luck = 100; Enhance Potions (EP) +25%; HCI + 15%; DCI + 15%; Dam. + 25%. The ring - Anatomy + 15; Antique; Luck = 100: EP +25%; HCI + 20%; SS + 10; DCI + 15%; Dam. + 25%: Poison Resist +15%. They work out perfect to allow for 1140 Luck Suit before I add anything to increase it. No regenerations, I get that with other items for my masteries and special attacks.
I worked so hard getting this character to where it is and but now I am paranoid to play him because of this. Unfortunately, these two pieces are the core of the character. I can get rid of the EP and even the luck but that is about it. Like you said, I would have to change something in the template but damn, I just got him to this level!
I live near Destard so I find myself there a lot and can solo Greater Dragons fairly easy with an imbued Longsword. Problem though is that I can run these to items down in a weekend of hard fighting.
1 . if you fight in Destard champ spawn , for first 2 levels Bracelet Sword 15 , HCI 15 DCI 15 DI 25 rest in tactics is good.
Ring with SSI is harder : need to be looted. You can have something else instead of swords skill : no need 120 skill for low critters.
But look for prized jewels on VS , can lack EP or something but anatomy on bracelet is not much important for critters you one shot anyway.
If you don't have Bushido - use Grugor shield or looted with 10SSI. Shields are cheap.
2. Think for yourself when you need /use which skills /stats and when they are excessive. Once I had chivalry on my warrior using it only for sacred journey. You can lower your party or even anatomy to increase sword and have better onslaught outcome .
3. If you need luck - clean up warrior set has no durability at all and provides 450 luck +60 DI ,+10SSI and some HCI .
4. monitor VS for non-antique jewelry and you will find some without DCI or else for fair reasonable price.
5. have different weapon for low spawn and bosses: (example) while hit area is very good against group it is useless if fighting one mob. Have it replaced with HLA or HLD can greatly increase damage dealt/received =>better leech and survivability.
6. loot mobs , participate in white net tosses , loot paragons in limited events and once in a while you will find clean legendary jewelry .
