Caster Minstrel template

[Dvaerg]

I know energy and Spirit resists are a lil low But this is what i will be running to start with until i get some nice rog with Duration and heal bonus...

Gonna run a Shield with +15 strength on, 4 instruments, 5 slash skill, 28 strength, 1 energy so i can get Strength to 83 and use Traitor in 1h if i need to swing with 1h now and then for a pet proc on supports/casters.

good work on it, but 5% energy isn't a "lil", it is too low
16% spirit can be low yeah but you doing good work on it, i hope u success, seems cannot do it without a good rog ring

 

[CorNokZ]

Energy is pretty much only thanes, runemasters(if runespecced), vw lifetap and mentalists single target mez, so he should be ok.. It's like back in the days before warlocks, you wouldn't see albs with that much matter resist either

You can gimp down on energy and only very rarely feel it

Hib pb (+manaeld dd's and stuff).

Hib pb (+manaeld dd's and stuff).

seconded plus sunbelt weps

 

[kamorrista]

Also mentalism spec DoTs and stuff, animist lifedrains etc, but mostly mana eld+enchanter pbaoe and BoS weapons can be a problem tho if they use Cyclops info lore on you :S

 

[Dvaerg]

Ye i know i just sacrificed 90 plat on 100 reforming energies lol :S

And i did get a rog ring with 15 duration, 10 heal bonus, 10 AF, 5 buff bonus...

But it will work for a start!

wow you really are old school.. I think less than 1% of the current population runs with BoS and Cyclops. And doubt anyone, at all, would use info lore as a timer in a fight

 

[kamorrista]

yeh maybe eSo and me are old school but you would really get surprised of how many people have cyclops on spare shield slot to use st lore and randomly use cyclops on specific enemies they want to kick ass (ofc not main blockers, just people not using 1h i.e. skald/friar/hunter) anyways I don't think they also need that to notice energy is your weak point, many uses BoS on a timer when they do a break to have coffee or whatever (so u summon weps and re-equip template belt) a good melee dmg dealer can make you kiss ground in no time with BoS wep with 5% energy resist on your tempo.

I am not looking to go close combat with tanks too ;p if i can kite em with disease and snare pet ill prefer that.
And hunters cant use CES

 

[CorNokZ]

And if you're a friar using it and not the dragon shield for the perma +5% melee resists, you're fucking retarded

 

[Dvaerg]

And if you're a friar using it and not the dragon shield for the perma +5% melee resists, you're fucking retarded

Word!

 

[kamorrista]

never knew of that shield soz, but many friars wear champ staff that already give +5% melee resists, anyways ur not even close to polite, yeh hunters can't wear shield, my bad, sometimes scouts and other chars like heretics wear it, and yes i don't think u want to melee, and sure 5% energy is not important so lets start dropping it in every single template.... c'mon already told you is a good work but 5% energy can be dangerous, and not so strange people can find out u are weak to that and smack you down with BoS weps, yes, is better having 5% energy than 5% heat, but still don't be so stubborn and frikkin unpolite

no wait, ok, u both rock the place, no weak points on it, u are the best.

better?
