or drop some hits out of iluums, get that matter up (any template without capped sists belong to those of the adding class (aka, archers)). Group class templates generally deserve a fitting set of resists (specially with the appearence of locks and such. (just an extra 9% matter would suffice too, so thats a nerf of about 60 hits for the matter) :)

/edit: or maybe thats just me deeming any template i make without next to capped sists a piece of poo :) (which is why they are so infuriating to do :'()

Well 60 less hits is around 3% less hits - warlocks are not big enough of a threat for me to outweigh it. The hits is gonna help vs any kind of damage, the matter is only gonna help vs warlocks.
