Anyway the template, briton heretic.

Personally i think it´s a pretty decent template, some nice item choices, however I do have a question about your spec.

If you want to melee primarily and use "all the casting i can do I only see as a bonus" why spec 42rej?

If you are going to group in rvr, ignore my comments, however if you plan on soloing read on.

Lack of decent styles, mainly leviathan and paralyse (yes, i am aware that any decent melee player will never, ever, run away from a tic in melee due to so many using paralyse, but there are more clueless than clued-up :)), or even slam for those that way inclined, really makes you a very poor (solo) melee character unless you are going to do all your rvr in a group.

A solo melletic needs some type of reliable stun and positional to use off that stun to do the high damage required to beat fully buffed stealthers, vamps and practically any other solo melee type your going to encounter.

I hate to preach specs and if you really want to stay with your spec, go for it, but 34 flex/20 shield will leave you lacking most of the tools that makes a meleetic so dangerous.

What i meant is I dont believe heretics get much benefit at all from having more casting speed, piety cap etc. And that it is way more important to put all bonuses on melee functionality since thats probably what you end up doing most :)
Also I wonder if anyone knows if the dmg on casting does have any effect at all from having more piety or +skill in template?
