[-Freezingwiz-]

more quickness imo

just lower the dex to get more


dex is only defensive as crush specced anyway qui is more dmg over time

 

[achaius]

OK, will resist commenting on Iconnu crush merc.... Nice and small is obviously the plan I guess with Iconnu, but crush? Unique at least no doubt

As freezingwiz says dex aint doing much for u, it affects your evades and parry, but better to put it into quick for more damage over time. Overall though it looks pretty good - you can get some decent high utility items now to cap things, its only when u start adding in artis it can be tricky to get it to add up.

For what it's worth here's my template, but its somewhat arti intensive:

and Im an inconnu mercenary... flame away :kissit:

You probably already know, but you'll have a higher weapon modifier with thrust on an inconnu.

didnt know

choosed inconnu because they are small, wubly and will eat your heart out, and half-ogres are so damn ugly.
also, they got 15% racial resists where all other races have 10%, and 3% of those are thrust resist, which makes it perfect as chain wearer.
the extra heat resists are pretty nice at camlann too

and being crush specced is due to its neutral to almost all the armor types that are used on camlann..

only got 3 artifacts in template because camlann aint an easy place to farm scrolls and do encounters without the whole VIVALAFRANCE zerg awaits in the bushes to steal the encounter from you

 

[Urgluf]

looks quite nice, might wanne up your quick abit

your template is better as 2nd one tbh, ring of oblivition and band of shadows which is hard to get and not even full str cap

 

[eggy]

didnt know

Well

Inconnus have 50 str and 70 dex.

Crush is 100% str, therefore 50 modifier
Thrust is 50% str, 50% dex, therefore 60 modifier ([50+70]/2)

Go thrust.

You are focusing too much on a few strength points. It does have 4 less strength but given I've seen my buffed str as high as 401 so far without any aug strength thats hardly an issue. The second template that I posted has 3% more melee damage, 5% more melee speed, as well as the joys and toys of the artis in it such as Ceremonial Bracer, Oglidarshs Belt, SOM, Scalars etc.... so it's clearly the better one to end up with. Having said that I accept its a difficult one to get and level as there are so many artis in it, and therefor top items to make up for arti's lower util. So if I were on Cam I would probably go for something like Bellona has posted I am sure.

 

[Bellona]

Well

Inconnus have 50 str and 70 dex.

Crush is 100% str, therefore 50 modifier
Thrust is 50% str, 50% dex, therefore 60 modifier ([50+70]/2)

Go thrust.

so at 50 that would be 95 str and 93 dex, and i put 15 in con, and 10 in str. it might only be a couple of points that str is higher, but going thrust would "req" a reroll to be better than respeccing to thrust now

and I did know about the stuff u wrote, just didnt recall it as called dmgmodifiers

ok, but he said its on pvp server so ml items and artifacts are harder to get.
sooo he uses all quest items and not so much artifacts, thats why I think his template is better
