Another SC Attept for Pala

[[TP]Darksbane]

iv tried to do what Draylor said from my last SCing attempt.
i think this one is much better, and could prolly be better.
on my feet i got a utility of 50.7 without overcharge yet on arms i got 45 utility and thats with overcharge, so ill prolly play about with this some more.
i know we aint got that gem atm, but ill use barrows gem until patch, let me know what u think of this Setup, and plz post any ideas for improvment

i have edited it and put in the SI drops cos they are a lot better than ones i was previously planning on using.
Thanks for that dude.
str and con 1 point of cap, not going to make the world of difference. Shame i have already SC my Mp Jambiya. i could do with taking the +5% body from it and putting something else on.
or i can change the cloak for something better, any suggestions?

1. Plan on getting SI and doing the bracer quest. You get your choice of 2 of the following:

Bracer of Health: 30 Hits, 6% Heat Resist, 6% Energy Resist, 8% Slash Resist.
Bracer of Shielding: 3 Constitution, 4 Shield, 12% Body Resist, 8% Crush Resist.
Bracer of the Stealthy: 4 Quickness, 4 Stealth, 10% Heat Resist, 8% Body Resist.
Bracer of the Strong: 6 Strength, 3 Parry, 10% Matter Resist, 10% Thrust Resist.
Magical Bracer: 6 Power, 4 Intelligence, 8% Spirit Resist, 8% Thrust Resist.
Pious Bracer: 6 Power, 4 Piety, 8% Slash Resist, 8% Cold Resist.
Roguish Bracer: 4 Dexterity, 4 Dual Wield, 10% Energy Resist, 8% Crush Resist.
Charismatic Bracer, +4 Charisma, +3 Instruments, 10% Cold, 12% Spirit

Personally I'd recommend the Bracer of Shielding and the Bracer of the Strong for a S&B Pally....

2. You're wearing plate and you haven't capped crush resist? Ouch....

3. Drop quickness slightly and cap strength.

Only 3/4 slots used on MP shield. BAD. Put some +parry there

Also if you're planning it on SI, I'd suggest doing this quest and getting Hooded Blades Cloak (if it's selectable) - 6% body, 8% energy, 8% slash, +21 hits.

 

[[TP]Darksbane]

hmm ye that cloak would be better than the Cloak of Retinicy (spelling). so would a lot of other SI quest stuff, i think ill just wait for SI before i do anything Rash with Spellcrafting.

Alternative spec I found on a site a while back, but splitting hairs really as I think what u suggest is good, 1 thing this makes use of epic BP and legs so saves cash. Theres some fleixibility over how high you take quickness and how many skill bonus you take.

Note: All spellcrafted armor is level 51, 99% Quality
-------- Non-Craftables
Avernal Necklace - 19Con,10%Heat,10%Energy
Infernal Pyre Walker's Cloak 10Dex,10Qui,12%Heat
Accursed Bone Bracer - 7Dex,+1Shield,+1Parry,30Hits
Veiled Bracer of Eyes - 8%Spirit,8%Cold,8%Body,15Hits
Belt of Granite Enhancement - 12Str,4%Crush,4%Slash,4%Thrust
Ring of the Iron Will - 12Con,6Dex,6Pie,4%Body
Infernal Black Diamond Ring - 12Str,12Con,10%Cold
Stone of Evil Emanations - 4%Energy,4%Heat,4%Spirit,27Hits
-------- Keep From Epic
Epic Chest - 15Str,6%Body,6%Spirit,42Hits
Epic Legs - 22Con,15Dex,6%Crush,6%Cold
-------- Spellcrafted (Boots, Helm, Sleeves, Gauntlets, Weapon, Shield)
Item1 - 10Con,9%Crush,2%Cold,9%Slash
Item2 - 10Dex,5%Energy,44Hits,22Qui or +4Skill
Item3 - 10Str,5%Body,44Hits,22Qui or +4Skill
Item4 - 10Str,10Dex,7%Energy,22Qui or +4Skill
Item5 - 16Str,7%Slash,3%Body,+4Skill
Item6 - 16Dex,7%Slash,7%Crush,+3Skill
-------- Stat Bonuses
Con 75
Str 75
Dex 74
Qui 10,32,54, or 76 (See below)
-------- Resist Bonuses
Heat 26
Energy 26
Cold 26
Body 26
Slash 27 (26 cap)
Crush 26
Thrust 4
Spirit 18
Matter = 0
-------- Hits
Hits = 202 (200 cap)
-------- Skill Bonus
+1Shield,+1Parry
+3Skill,+4Skill (See Below)
-------- Variables
Three of the items can either be imbued with quickness or skill bonuses, depending on what the Paladin wants.

The result:
If +10 Quick then another +4Skill,+4Skill,+4Skill
If +32 Quick then another +4Skill,+4Skill
If +54 Quick then another +4Skill
If +76 Quick then no additional skill bonus beyond the +1Shield,+1Parry,+3Skill,+4Skill listed above.

Does anyone know the specifics of this quest and item? As in, can casters and/or minstrels do it? And are those stats reliable? I've just finished my template without them, but if it turns out they are doable... I've got to do it again.
