NS template - Piercing + 10% spellpierce

[BloodOmen]

Far from the best template I've ever put together, it has alot of flaws infact - some of which include:

Low hits
Some resists are patchy
Lot of crafted parts (unavoidable for the stats I wanted)
No SoM (don't like not having SoM but it has a nice /use in its place - Heal over time + 25 essense resist buff OR /buffshear)

Anyone got a better one? tried to keep the costs low by not using expensive shit - making a solid blades template with 10% pierce is quite easy, pierce is a bloody nightmare tho.

Fixed weaps, shite hits and dodgey sists? Don't look too great to me.

Fixed weaps, shite hits and dodgey sists? Don't look too great to me.

Show me one with MHI, good resists, 350+ hits, 10% spellpierce and RoD

That said, nothing wrong with fixed Soul Glimmer, its a good weapon, the AF debuff rips with pictslayer debuffs.

 

[Cemeterygates]

Don't get me wrong dude, pierce temps are a cunt to make, just pointing out some of the obvious flaws of it. Also, quick is quite low, is it not? Don't you need about 60-65?

Luris only need 54 from temp to cap out :> luri4life - wasn't being defensive vs it above, was just pointing out that soul glimmer isn't bad to have as a fixed mh, its cheap, good procs.

 

[Nibble]

BloodOmen, hard to get my POV on it really, for me ye as u said the low hits/2 resists/no som, for me id try n rework it with som n higher hits also i really dont like 4 SC parts, n about the fixed MH, that shit dont matter anyway really, try and rework it with that i said, n also try put in the New epic n see what u come out with

Aye, I was asking around about spellpierce on ns's but didn't get much response - I get that it adds about an extra 20-30 damage to lifebane but is it really worth it overall? I could make a pierce template piss easy without spellpierce, just don't know how viable it is on shades to leave it out.

 

[Nibble]

honestly ive ran 5 peirce n 0 n i dont notice it, maybe with 10 sure but when u get viper 5 ur overkill anyway my temp from r9-10 i never had SP n my new shade dont n i do fine

 

[BloodOmen]

ah well, won't bother with it then.

 

[BloodOmen]

There, farted about enough with it I reckon, shame it didn't have a spare sc slot or it'd have 96/96 con aswell arms/head are crafted which is a shame but not the end of the world, the heal procs from SI dungeon got updated so can fit them with 120 delve heals, lost RoD aswell which was abit of a meh stat wise tho its fairly solid.

Nothing wrong with crafted arms used to run crafted arms/head/boots on my sb and did fine, majority of sneak fights are over in seconds anyway.
