help with pierce BM template :)

[Amellisan]

Hey, been mucking around with templates for ages- and just when i think i have a good one, i see a way in which i can improve it. I have one already, but i cant help but feel theres ways it could be better (i suck at templates). If anyone can suggest a good possible template with not _too_ hard/expensive to get items, it would be much appreciated

I'd like it to include the following artifacts and pref have +25 cap increase and as many hits as possible

Golden Scarab Vest
Spear Of Kings
Shades of Mist
Croc Tooth Dagger

I Also have...

2 Ebon Hide bracers
1 Ring of Seven Storms
1 Belt Of Brute
1 Preserved Croc Eye
1 Paidrean Neckie
..and a few others.

Anyways, thanks in advance for your time

this was my most recent effort... it's not bad i guess for me, but as you can see, dex is way over and the str is no where near the cap- plus my attack speed is a bit over. As you can see, i need help ) If at all possible, it would be nice to "tweek" the template a bit- rather than starting afresh. Oh, the GSV resists are including the +3 to all melee resists with the level 4 ability

Anyways..

[Amellisan]

ahh thanks dying, appreciated

 

[ceixava]

13 energy? you do realize a sorc with 15% pierce 25%dur will make you stand still for ages, even with det5

+ youll get splattered by most alb mages cos of the 13cold
http://stonebay32.com/daoc/bm-ringofheavens.txt this is mine, i changed the sc stuff around tho so its the same but with more heat

 

[Ade]

Dex & Str caps ill take anyday over resists. It determines ur damage alot, dont be fooled by thinking its only a few points for weaponskill, it actually increases your damage alot. When I made the template I had two things in mind, get both caps over 20 & get enough toa melee bonusses. I've managed both of these in a generally not so hard to get template. No offence Ceix but your template has got some hard to get itemry & does not have 20+ dexcap.
Otherwise nice template m8

 

[ceixava]

important resists > bit more dexcap

my template has important resists capped and still nice +str and +dex bonus with almost capped toa damage bonuses

 

[Ade]

Some people like more damage over more defence. Well still mez with det 5 doesnt last very long and you usually have red warden resists up so i think longer mez is neglectable. As for the other resists, ull more then likely always have druid resists & warden resists up so therefore i find it not that important to cap resists over dmg. Imo it comes down to dropping your target faster then staying mezzed less longer.

But Ceix :wub:
I'm just a crazy bm

 

[Amellisan]

Ceix, just out of interest- where did you get that Ring Of The Heavens? did an item search and it never came up and my DAoC aint working atm so i cant check ME's

It cost much? hard to get? etc

Thanks
