Vampiir DR weapon Template

Dairuinn's quest for Redflame the fire horse continues, but due to the amazing glowing redness of the champion weapon he has been forced to modify his equipment.
SoM has had to go as horses dont like getting riden by shades and new additions include the shield of DOOOOM!!!!!! and the new epic leggings which both have nice heal procs.
The end result i think is a solid template with a fair bit of added utility.
Would like to know your thoughts.

not htat bad at all mate. gj considering the items you got in it

well your missing 1skill point in pierce, but apart from that its good.
now i dont play a luri vamp. but isnt the hp a bit low? (for luri)

4% melee speed HEHE!

its the problem given the items i can fit in, lost 5% melee when i removed the SoM, but would equip that when in PvE when resists are not as important.
Suppose i could go for the stone bone gem (i think) but i dont have that or know much about it.
Also plan to be running around with CL magic resists and Haste and using the melee resists on weapon.

Got 3 pieces of armour to SC and its down to a question of priority, to put the extra pierce in would have to drop something which would most likely be the slash resist.
But given that ive already got 43+3+10=56 is that 1 point really worth it?

Would have liked to have put hit cap items in but its a question of what to use, point is that with 50% fumble, 30% parry and evade they shouldnt hit us easily, another reason for dropping SoM.

Main things i wanted are melee damage and style damage as thats whats going to get me my power, with a load of heal and ablative procs it should help when hits do get through.
Wether or not the +spell lines will have any effect i dont know but the powerpool bonus will mean my 14% starting power will be larger then before and allow me to store more which i cant see as a bad thing.

Naaz Naaz !

One of the better vamp templates ive seen ... but

Having SoM on it would be even nicer and bad choice of shield tbh , a crafted would serve u better and give u more slots for redoing ure sc

Just a thought

Punish <3

I think most ppl already saw this temp looks very very nice and the items are not hard to get well except levi ring and black water bracer

Champion weapons don't have an increased hit-rate like arties, until 1.82, when it's supposedly fixed.

This is at least what people have been talking on all the daoc forums, but tbh I still don't know if it's true or not.

i barely use my champ weapon, id say the end removing proc. goes off allot.
the thrust debuff barely ever, atleast i think ive only seen in go of once or twice and i used it allot.

now its basicly my pve weapon.

and i can also agree that i miss more with champ weapon than golden spear
(also wub golden spear (javalins) for the pesky casters )

Thanks for the feedback there.
The two other templates look very nice, might look and see about meski's one after 1.82 but minstrals one i dont have many of thoose items and dont think i can face training more artifacts.
Easy enough to change mine by dropping either shield or leggings for SC and put SoM back in, thats what i see the main point of templetes, it allows people an idea of what they can use and how things fit together.
Heard the reason for champ weapon miss rates was that the 35% bonus was only acting like 25%, cant remember where i read that or if its true so dont quote me on that. <grin>

Champ weapons supposedly have the same missrate as crafted weapons. While artifacts have an increased chance to hit.

Haven't heard about the change in 1.82 though. Any documentation anywhere?

ive read on vn that they stealth fixed it on us servers. either with 1.81 or 1.82

This is my template for Spikesprout. It uses almost the same items as Aran does (tho Aran uses Ebonhide, I use the Co5-bracer and I use Lévi Skincloak, he uses FW) but mine has no weapon in it, or well a weapon with 12 DEX essentially.

I find my template working really nicely, I can switch in all weapons without loosing (much), I can get 10/10/10 TOA-bonusses with Goldenspear, and pretty decent stat-caps.

If I would be Aran (which Im not !) I would atleast modify his template to be weaponless (more or less) because Piercing-damage aint the best damage-type for Hibernians in the solo-world. Also the DPS of a matching legendary aze with your claw (depends on your spec) is insane

Thanks puppet, getting a nice varied selection of decent templates to compare it with.
Dont have a Levi cloak but will keep my eyes open for it, im just using items i have at the moment, looks like a lot of options include the mad scaler gloves so might have to get some, will try my one out first and see how it goes, if it doesnt work well looks like i can easily change to another.
Will be running around with a 99% heat adze as well for when i meet leather wearing foes, luckily thats a nice red colour as well. <grin>
