Merc (solo) Template 4x HP armor

[Phibe]

dunno to what extent it is worth to sacrifice stats for healproc armor on a merc tbh. or whether you should sacrifice alot to get as many hp armor pieces AND healbonus in temp when for example planning to play with friar healproc i guess this would make a merc almost unkillable 1v1. or to give a shit about armor procs , and lets say just use timeless cleric bp and slayer arms or helm for example (ml 10 legs + 3 crafted pieces) and focus on capping stats in temp...

or even just try to hit the golden middle like i tried to do in this temp...
info from experienced solo mercs available ?

as a merc your main defence is damage, you need 10/10/10 toa and 11/11 dw and i assume thrust as your 100 dex

if not thrust drop the dex and get 101 con, if you are thrust don't worry about luxaries like heal procs untill you sort the foundations out which is your str, toa bonuses and + to skills

 

[Phibe]

fyi its got 10 speed 8 dmg 6 style without a mainhand equipped, 10 10 10 skills instead of 11 11 11 which is in respect to dmg not really an issue, considering speccing wyrd style anway... and 101 con into a thrust temp is not possible without gimping something or using 4-5 crafted pieces which is not an option and not worth it imo...

 

[gohan]

... double post

 

[gohan]

ah ye i was looking at the all DW part thought it was 6/10/10

even still the MH has to have 4 style and 2 damage, so only really champ wep or ml10 in which case you're better off choosing one and making the temp better, as atm it's not truely open weap anyway


also as regards to con I did say IF it's not a thrust temp drop dex and get 101 con

also as regards to con I did say IF it's not a thrust temp drop dex and get 101 con

Temp looks fine atm and i wouldnt be to bothered with 6 style dmg instead of 10 and if he uses a leggy weapon he have 9 mele dmg and 6 style and after proc he rips thru shit anyways

 

[Punishment]

Nice template, you could maybe use ml10 cloak to improve it, but it's all personal preference really

 

[Phibe]

yea ml 10 cloak could rock too, i just think as a low rr solo merc SoM would help me more at the beginning just by being up for most of the time and powerful when fighting multiple melee targets which will probably happen more than i want to at least get some rps before dieing you know

concerning the toa's i ll be using sok to get buff and switch to most probably plaguebringer or 2nd meph , moment of zen , all of them bring toas to cap, and for the backup leggies , well as elaleni said i wont bother much about the missing 4% style dmg in that case. so only the time when sok is in use toas are a bit lower.

but its true it could be an option to just spare dex a bit on crafted parts and go slash or crush while tweaking the stats a bit even.

ah dunno think im gonna just test this one as soon as the mercnoob hit 50

 

[gohan]

Thrust is better imo, if for no other reason than it's old school xD

 

[Punishment]

Thrust is better because it offers memphit fangs if nothing else

 

[mikke]

I run this on my merc, and its fun but its not MHI tho:|

and yeah.. qq energy ressists and hp;P
