Druid Template Issues...

[Moaning Myrtle]

I've been trying to make a template for my Druid for the last week, but am really struggling to get the Dex and Emp caps filled whilst keeping ToA bonuses and not gimping key resists.

The best I've managed so far is below, can anyone see anything obvious I could swap?

Oh, and nerf Mythic for making Magma shield stats different between Realms...fuckers

personally I think you should ditch either Scorp tail ring ( VERY low utility) or croc ring(overrated imo) and get immolated or darkspire dex ring.

Maybe use a crafted shield but swap boots for crystalized Etched Vined boots? 2.10 Hauberk maybe would fit in better than the one you are using?

Oh, and get atleast 200 hits, 112 is abit low

I'll post my template below to give you some tips on items you can use.

Arrrgh! Use

 tags please, you're making my mouse wheel finger QQ IRL ;)

I should have stated what my requirements are:

100 Dex
100 Emp
25% Buff Bonus (without swapping items out)
25% Heal Bonus
10% Cast Speed
10% Cast Range

JS
CS

That's it really. I'll have a play around with Immolated and see what difference that makes.

Thanks for the post ;)

 

[Cueblare]

you dont need 100 emp I've never had over 90 and i think i managed fine ;o

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

you dont need 100 emp I've never had over 90 and i think i managed fine ;o

I just wanted the most power possible. I'll bear that comment in mind though, thanks.

What do others think about Empathy and how high it should be taken?

 

[Cueblare]

and btw, check your pms! ;o

 

[Graendel]

I run with 90 piety and power's never been a real issue. That's with CW charge, pots, MCL, EP and Jacinas.
