Capping stats with Sidi armour and weapons

[old.shotgunstow]

I was just wondering if it is possible to do... and if so how... i'm guessing it probably requires sidi jewelry as well.

i doubt it

Oh it can probably be done for most classes (didnt Pin have a Reaver sidi template a few months back?), but really whats the point?

The only reason to do this is if your able to get one of the Apocalypse necklaces (end regen, power regen, unlimited ablative charges - whichever) to go with it. So far Apoc has died twice on our server, dropping only 1 necklace (the fairly pointless HP regen if Im remembering right)

The time/effort/gold required to put this together would NOT be worth it.

The chest pieces are worth having (heal procs) but youd be better off with crafted parts for the rest of the suit.

Yes you can do a template to cap everything with some classes (Cleric is VERY easy, for example - getting the items won't be easy though )... Other classes are impossible to cap everything using the Sidi set because the sets 'waste' value with (for example on the reaver set) +thrust, +crush, +slash and +flex, but you can still cap most things. But the items you need are going to be very tough to get, taking masses of time.

Why would you want to? Well, I would say there was a certain amount of satisfaction with having done something quite tough rather than the plain cookie-cutter, cap-everything in 10 minutes SC suits.

Some of the charges are very nice to have, but worth it? Your choice.


And as for killing Apocalypse. Well, he isn't especially hard, and he could easily be dropped every week if raids were suitably well-organised by people who know what they are doing, with patient, well-behaved and competant attendants (the all-comer Saturday raids on this server have, in the past at least, generally lacked both of these).



PS. Still looking for a couple of Reaver pieces

I second that motion. Paladin items though, please.

Oh and Sidi dye. My Royal blue BP looks damn awful.

Actualy I'm busy with this. I'm looking everywhere for semi decent RoG jewelry drops with stats I could potentialy use. So that when I have my full sidi set complete, I'll be able to wear some ROG jewelry with it which almost caps most stats.

i tried this using the SC calculator, put all paladin sidi parts and best Jewelry,sword,sheilds etc.
Lets just say the results were pretty shitty.
Mythic need reassess the stats on all Sidi Class specific armour imo.

I spent 5 minutes with the Paladin set, capped 4 stats (0 pie), capped hits, 1 resist at 24, 2 at 25, rest at 26. Had 10 Slash, 10 Shield and 9 Parry.

This used a crafted sword and shield.

I'm sure (if I had a Paladin and was willing to take the time) that I could incorporate a Sidi weapon, add some pie, or whatever.

Yeah, quite a challenge. Had a go. Done a S/S template capping basically everything (24+ resists, 9parry)... the resists suffer a little with a pole out though (and it's stuck with capped qui)

 

[Falcor]

when tried, i found bigges tproblem was capping the slash and polearm, the quest bracers and cloak cap shield and parry nicely, resists not too much of a problem, getting +hits was a bit bad too

what i dont get is, how come mythic dont see this as not being fair, take the merc hauberk it has 4 parry on yet armsman one has 3 2handed, parry useful for all whereas 2handed isnt, they should of made extra slots for the +weapon skills to make it balance witht he pretty easy cleric sets etc, its not fair for the armour to be crap cuz we have more spec options

 

[Ekydus]

My Armsman friend got a Sidi polearm... that was enough to make him respec from S/S to Polearm... FYI.

I would make an sc template taking the vest into consideration, just cause the heal proc would be great, and they tend to have okish stats.
Mind you, most of the stats are not so special, just the reactives on them are cool to have.
Luckily, those are alleged to drop also

I can near as damnit cap all stats except dex using the cleric epic and easy drops.

This is in a world where the hauberk is contributing 4% spirit, 4% crush and nothing else.

So with the full set sidi I imagine it's possible for a cleric.

If you are playing something daft like an infil, it's probably an entirely different matter.....
