Friar Template

[Relin]

just wondering if anyone could see a problem with me proposed friar template

Staff 39 ( ok was thinking that the 44 style comes off a move that you need a side stance from and i dont know about you all but i dont stand still when some one side on to me )

Enh 44 ( last absorb)

Parry 23 ( surely i will be a parrying/evade madman )

Rej 18 ( will help with heal, when i remember to heal lol )




so what ya think bad ? good ?

39staff 48enhance 18reju 13parry

would give you:

faster haste shout = UBER
better cold and heat resists = GOOD
slightly higher dex/quick buff = OK
5% LESS chance to parry = MMM is parry that good?

same damage and same healing

imo the buffs are worth losing 5% parry for esp in PvP where you will want to max out your resists all the time

44 staff 45 enhance 7 rejuv 18 parry

thats my template for a tank friar... gives you long duration stun style (after a side attack) useful for whacking them casters who are spamming, gives you last af buff, dex-quick buff, cure poison, and 18 parry should be ok with dodger and mastery of parry.

Fuck rejuv, 39 staff tops.

In endgame, rejuv doesnt matter jack shit.
7 rejuv is enough for Cure Disease/Poison which are nice, baseheals are handy. 47 Enh for the last attack speed shout (_very_ nifty) and 39 staff for damage. Get +11 from RR/Items and styles after 39 are pretty much useless.
Rest parry.

Thanks guys

like the sound of jiggs one

LOL spot the 2 peeps who know jack about playing a friar

7reju ROFL prepare to be kited to death

44staff is BUGGED in new patches and you can never use it anyway

believe me i respeced fri 44staf 45 enhance and 47haste>44staff 100% of the time.

stfu Jiggs ROFLMAO OMG STFU BUGGER LICK ARSE... theres no need to be such a tit ffs. He asked for advice and I gave it to the best of my knowledge.

 

[Relin]

guess the only real choice is either rej or parry ( already got good idea about enh and stick)

Not 100% on what i want to do but was thinking parry might be more important in PvP as there are a lot more 1v1 situations( well sometimes)

 

[old.Lianuchta]

You'll probably just get nuked to death Haven't seen many one-on-one melee situations yet.

 

[razta-ownz]

I would go 44 staff. as there ar only few +staff items in the game.

How can you get kited? I mean... Not that youre supposed to solo in RvR (Realm vs Realm, group-based PvP). Dealing damage as fast as possible (High ench for haste, enough staff for good styles and 50 with decent items + easily gained RRs).

But since youre on PvP thread, youre probably meaning PvP spec. Rejuv sucks still. Same thing, how can you be kited, soloing = death. If you still want to solo, baseheals cover your ass, 7 grants you Cure spells aswell.

Rejuv is mainly for PvE. You get enough from baseline heals to heal yourself and perhaps group members if you have the time. But my opinion of friar is that its supposed to fight, not sit back and support others.

 

[Jiggs]

most skalds will try and kite you when u fight them solo in my experience.

do what you like but i have actually had 44staff before i respeced
it wasnt worth the points (unless you where level 50 pre patch 1.46 since those friars have more spec points f.ex the number one friar is 44staff 47enhance 18reju 7parry which is impossible to make now)

i tried 44staff 47enhance 7reju on gorre and it totally sucked for me.

to say reju is useless means u may as well play a spearo or polearms since then at least you have more HP and some decent armour to protect u.

why people underestimate the ability to heal is totally beyond me

 

[Relin]

what items do u use to get staff up tho ?

 

[Jiggs]

DF gloves have +4
Hammy cloak is +2
some hammy jewels as well but i dont know them cos i dont use
i use a crafted stave but the DF diamond one has +5 or 6staff on it tho the barfog one: http://www.drunkenfriar.com/view_item.asp?itemid=74 is better
and of course realm ranks

so say:
+4 gloves
+2 RR3 by 50
+2 cloak
+5 staff

=+13 without really getting any special or hard to find items

remember with spellcrafting this will be even easier to achieve
