So I haven't played much in the last year or two... How to go about building a new suit for Sampire?

[Ender]

I've got legendary crafting skills and imbuing, along with most of the popular artifacts, at least back when I played. Tinker Leggings, Mace and Shield Glasses, Crimson, the Ranger Cloak... May be others I'm forgetting.

But I never got around to doing Reforging or anything and I'm sure I could make a big improvement on what I have now using that. Any guide on how to get a good setup? 30+ SI, 25 HPI, some MI, 40 LMC, 45 HCI/DCI, all that good stuff.

First thing to do is workout what weapons you will be using. I carry 2 types of each super slayer along with a few others. I carry one with whirlwind attack for area damage and then another with armor ignore.

When you know what weapon you want this will allow you to workout how much stamina and SSI you will need on the suit to achieve max weapon speed (1.25s)

I would reforge studded leather parts with either 5 DCI or 5 HCI. Use a spined runic to do this so not very expensive.

Add stamina increase, mana increase and if there is room after imbuing resists add some HPI.

For jewels something like 15 DCI, 15 HCI, 25 DI then either DEX and STR or Enhance potions. Depends on how you like to roll.

As for arties there are plenty of useful things about. Definitely try to get a crimson and maybe mace and shield reading glasses.

Either a Slither or Primer on arms talisman. Some people also use the conj trinket.

Ender, good to hear from you. The artifacts you list are still premium. You can hit new levels of performance now with reforging then imbuing and finally enhancing. The things you need to also look at are armor changes. You can hit 55 LMC on studded leather. There were also imbuing intensity changes to 2h weapons. Exceptional 2h can still only have 5 imbued mods but intensity is up to 600.

Reforging was introduced on the tail end of my playing time and I never really got into it... It sounds way more useful than I had thought, thanks guys. Kind of a cheaper alternative to woodland armor with some tradeoffs, and then for weapons I can get even more mana? Awesome. And 55 LMC + the extra mana leech? Damn. Sounds like this could be the most powerful Sampires can get since the real skill nerf.

Thanks for all this guys, that guide looks really helpful. Lots of info but pretty well organized.

You can get 25 HCI on your armor + 5 HCI on a quiver. You can also reinforce your armor to all 75 decreasing DCI cap to 20.
In this case you will need only 15 HCI and 50 DI on your jewels.

And there are +ssi jewels. With these you can form the most powerful suits.
