41 aug, 35 cave, 3 mend on a Frostalf char recommended

Notice you will be able to buff urself with +Aug skill line and +% ToA buff bonus item(s) and also buffshear around (nasty with MoC)

If u want to cap cave skill bonuses u can lose 40 hits instead (+331hp instead of +371)

A very nice template I found out for cave shammy, thoughts?

Code:
Stats
————————————————————————
STR: 15 / 85 (+10)
INT: 0 / 75
Hits: 371 / 370 (+170) (can be raised to 400 / 400, see notes on “legs”)
AF: 18 / 50
CON: 77 / 75
PIE: 145 / 101 (+27) (the overage can be reduced, see notes on “legs”)
End: 0 / 25
DEX: 101 / 101 (+27) (the overage can be reduced, see notes on “legs”)
EMP: 0 / 75
Pow: 0 / 31 (+5)
QUI: 0 / 75
CHA: 0 / 75
%PP: 11% / 30% (+5)

note: A Champ lvl 10 mythirian can raise any stat of your choice another 8 points, Dex or Piety for example can be raised to 109 in this manner.

Resists
————————————————————————
Body: 26 / 26
Energy: 26 / 26
Crush: 29 / 26 (note: will be 31 while wearing shield)
Cold: 27 / 26 (note: will be mid 40’s @ 41 aug spec)
Matter: 24 / 26 (note: will be mid 40’s @ 41 aug spec)
Slash: 27 / 26 (+2) (note: will be 33 while wearing shield)
Heat: 26 / 26 (note: will be mid 40’s @ 41 aug spec)
Spirit: 28 / 26 (+5) (note: racial resist from being Frostalf brings spirit to 31)
Thrust: 30 / 26 (+3) (note: will be 34 while wearing shield)
Essence: 0 / 26

note: Heat, Cold and Matter will be in the mid 40’s if this template is used on a character with the Shaman specs listed above. It’s also recommended to use a +body resist Mythirian to bring Body into the 30’s however that’s a personal choice, plus to dex and piety have more offensive benefits.

8 / 11 All Magic Skills
8 / 11 Augmentation
8 / 11 Cave Magic (see notes on “Legs” to raise to 11/11)
8 / 11 Mending

Note about Legs: These legs are the most expensive (as of Jan 2010) item in this template and fall from the ML 10 boss Draco. They tend to cost upwards of 50-60 plat in game right now. You can replace these with player made legs and retain the hits and con. On MP playermade leggings you can also add +4 to cave and add a little strength to improve Champ sword style damage. You can also choose the proc effect on playermade and legs get hit frequently so take that into consideration if plat is limited.

Swap Out Items for Buff Enhancement Benefits
- Any item with buff enhancement can be used, a pair of Filigree Antalya Rings would be perfect to keep things simple, just remember to put on the Torrent rings when done buffing.

If you have a shaman bot it probly will encourage you to make a few changes in template/spec. You don’t have to sacrifice buffs (and groupability) to take advantage of the offense a shaman can provide (buffshearing)
