Good armsman SC template

[artemus]

heres my SC template guys, see if you can spot anything i can improve, but think ive got it pretty much sorted

My spec is a hybrid, mainly S&S pole for slam/back pos. (or will be after respec stone gimped atm :/ )

Hands and feet are MP as they are relitively cheap, also no drops are required only DF items/quest except the bladestopper gem (unique avalon drop)

My spec is:

Slash : 50
Shield : 42
Pole : 29
Parry : 22
Xbow : 8

With S&S :

Comments? advice?

 

[Kagato.]

Belt of granite enhancement from Dartmoor is easy to get hold of and is:

Strength: 12, and +4% to all 3 melee resists, but it wont change your spec that much.

I'd be tempted to improve your quickness a little if you can make the room elsewhere, nothing more annoying then being in a neck and neck duel and your enemy landing the killing blow first.

 

[artemus]

Thanks kagato

been messing about with config and only way i caould get more qui is by overcharging the MP gaunts to 37, which is just too risky for my tastes, and also would only raise Qui by 3

 

[gunner440]

btw

dont waste precious SC slots with +parry, its just not worth it in the long run

if you need defence then place it in shield which has a better effect.

 

[dimerian]

37/32 to mp`s and 33/28 to 99%

 

[old.shotgunstow]

Sorry for being a complete n00b but where do you get these lists of stats from... I think I have missed the website somewhere.

Unfortunately I messed it up a bit due to the bracer being wrong originally, so con went over cap and the 1% thrust on shield was wasted.

All 99% items used, only DF Items and quest items used (SI cloak and bracers).
