I've been trying to put a template together for a s/s armsman, concentrating on maxing out dexterity, and hits (so therefore also Con). I've had a bit of trouble finding overcap dex bonus equipment though - a lot of the dex items are unsuitable for an armsman (dex overcap items seem to tend to be oriented towards casters with acuity bonus on, or stealthers with archery/stealth bonuses on).
Here's what I've got so far:
Now I can change the legendary sword for a crafted one, enabling me to max out the quickness (at a marginal penalty to strength) but I quite like legendary weapons as generarlly they seem to hit above their weight and they look good (the Falchion's at any rate).
Crush is a bit down, which I can live with, and slash is overcapped by a couple of percent. Its down 2 points in parry which is unfortunate, but the main problems are with the heat, cold, energy and matter resists which could all do with a substantial boost (it also uses GoV which is going to be somewhat of a challenge to obtain to say the least, and I don't know how hard the Demon Bone Belt is to get).
My question: In todays rvr, just how badly can I expect to be affected by these 4 resists? Thanks as always for your help in advance
