Right basically I want to have ago at making a Template for my Nightshade, but I have a few questions.

1 To get the cap increases; do you just search items on the M.E and see if you can fit them in?

2 What should I be looking to get on my Template (Resists / Dex / Str / Qui / Con / Hits)?

3 Are the artefacts that I am using ok?

This is my opinion, others will flame and argue I'm sure:

More or less, although you quickly get an idea of what drops etc suit what class and I'm sad enough to know a lot of item stats off by heart... If you can be bothered hunt around for ROG's - there's some very nice stuff about.

+11 to pierce, CD, CS & Stealth (use swap-out items for env as it will save you a lot of utility).
Cap (or over-cap) Str, Con & Dex, the closer to 101 you can get the better but don't gimp something else important for 1 more point in something.
There's a lot of debate about Qui but 40 should get you to the 250 soft-cap when buffed.
As many hits as possible, 280ish is easy to achieve but I've seen people with 400 or more - I aim for 300 (again don't gimp something else for only a few more)
Cap your melee & heat resists, after that it's personal choice but you better be fast on the remedy button if you don't cap body too
ToA bonus' are the difference between a decent template and a really good one, the holy grail is +10% to melee speed, melee damage & style damage, +50AF, +10 Fatigue (last one really is "fluff")

Pretty much; SoM & GoV are must have's imo, after that it becomes personal choice again. I would recommend you consider LW's as an alternative to GS + CTD but that's up to you

I've prolly missed stuff but hope that helps a bit :)

Cheers for the Replies, I'll see if I can get a Full Template done for you to have a look at soon.

- looks like the no-flame asking nicely worked :D

Hey,

I would recommend going dual heaters and dual cold legendary weapons, it works great in rvr and the stats on the dex versions will fit nicely in your template.

Apart from that, as said before, SoM is pretty much a must (the only viable alternative is the ML10 cloak), GoV is great, Scalars will be very nice but a bitch to SC.

You will want to cap slash/crush/thrust, heat/cold and body/matter. Spirit _imo_ is not _that_ important, I cant recall ever seeing someone with spirit weapons. My energy resist is at 5 (racial bonus) which doesnt matter either.

You will want to cap dex/str/con, 45-55 qui will do. +Dex/str is a great bonus, +Hits should be youre last concern _imo_.
