Template/FC Question

[Shryke]

Hello All,

I am a returning player trying to put together an effective pvm template for casual use. I've always leaned toward melee templates and, after reading these boards extensively, I have decided on the following template...

6x120
Wep Skill
Tactics
Anatomy
Mysticism
Focus
Chivalry

My main question/concern is that I will be running with protection, stone form, and enchant. I will have no FC help on my equipment. Am I headed toward disaster with this template and -193 FC? Please let me know what you have experienced. Thanks in advance.

Your problem with that template and a slow casting speed is healing. All of tapir healing is from Chiv or Myst. Yea you have a healing stone but it will need to be regenerated often. I run a similar mystic dexxer with this template:

120 Weapon skill
120 Myst
120 Focus
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Healing
84 Chiv

This uses +24 skill points but can heal with bandages in addition to Chiv and Myst.

Thanks Obsidian,

That was my main concern. I was thinking of a similar template originally but thought I'd try for maximum damage output by bringing tactics, anatomy and chiv to 120. Not to mention the extra mod on my jewels from not needing the chiv points. Healing stone and pots aren't enough to compensate for slow casting of close wounds and cleansing winds? I was expecting no but hoping for yes. Anybody else have an experience that will keep me from cutting/copying/pasting Obsidian's above template onto my paperdoll? Thanks.
