Cheap ToA Slash merc sc template...

[Sycho]

Got this off VN boards, only 99 qua armour needed and 2 sun swords.Has nice bonuses, like 24% melee speed, ToA isn't out yet i know but this is good for people who wish to use 99 qua chain.

Looks pretty nice in my view especially for 99 qua.

[Fadeh]

Seen any mp template with battler?

 

[Yussef]

Belt of the Sun = worthless now, the weapons fade on death, they're energy based, so you're more likely to encounter higher resists perhaps, the damage is ok once the debuff has procced however.

 

[Ariacs]

Heres a quick one I made with battler. Just found out that the +stat cap is 50 tho. This only got an extra 25. So am working on a new one. Missing a few things, but was going for max str and +melee spd, with a little +damage/style damage. Uses quite a few drops/arifacts.

[Sycho]

I think leaving dex low might be best so you can cap other more needed things, will look around for battler ones, i am sure i have seen one with battler+axe of malice if i find it i will post here.Found one, no idea why he has 90 str when it doesn't exceed cap unless you have the items?or does it happen automatically?

Not the best though:

Melee Speed 25%
Style Damage 5%
Melee Damage 5%
Armor Factor 20
Fatigue 9

[Ariacs]

It will be capped at 75 as hes got no +str cap.

 

[Garok]

As Yussef said belt of the sun seems to be Nerfed some what with the summoned weapons being unsummoned when u die or Port. Template seems nice but if your weps disapear upon death or Port and u can only summon em back during day time .. its gonna be a pain in the arse to say the least.

Trouble being a lot of TOA Artifacts being wacked for 6 with the Nerf Bat its gonna be hard to know what item to get and lv with out it being nerf'd asoon as u get it to lv 10.

Seems the artifact Battler seems pretty cretain for a big Nerf from the amount of complaints about the WS boost proc going off once per battle and Light tanks getting 3 shotted by it..

TBH though im still abit confused as to what is the most important thing to cap first and what not to worry about fo much .. i guess for Merc its Wep speed and style dam caps ..

 

[Path]

Do NOT EVER use Sun swords if you group RvR, most everyone you encounter will have elemental resist buffs and that = you're fucked. Elemental damage is basically something for soloers. Slash merc = get Battler on the double

I think it will be nerfed knowing the yanks, they said tanks die 3 hits when it proccs....be a shame really, since the item takes a lot of hard work to get that good(1 mill rps for lv10).I just hope they fix my bruiser xD oh well i will still use it probably, will not need rams

 

[Naetha]

I'm not going to bother trying to get a SC template together until ToA has been out a few weeks at least, as there are plenty of RoG drops and mob drops that haven't been listed yet.
I'm also not going to count on having more than one artefact - I want to enjoy ToA not wear myself out farming these uber items.
Made a rough SC template using the 100% lifetap proc quest hauberk from 1.64 (from the Orcs and Spellbooks quest), Spear of Kings and a couple of the known drops that gave me about +90 str +85 dex +240 HPs and pretty capped elsewhere (and ~20% weaponspeed).
Still can't wait for ToA though - gonna really enjoy it
