low toa bonuses

 

[Ivynoxia]

The 3% extra dmg from slash dmg just nullified your 80 extra hp :/ the other resists look good but you can't afford to not cap slash when almost everyone is using malice / battler / their champ slash wep. Did you put 10 qui at creation, the quickness looks a little low for 3.9 spd LGWs to reach cap.

Looks like another template where too much emphasis was placed on +str/dex cap increases; to raise both stats is very costly in terms of spellcrafting imbue points, if you're doing a pierce template it's much better to use toa melee/style bonuses to bump up your offense first, then experiment with how much extra str/dex you can put in.

Testing (from Vilna-perc) have shown that a cap increase of 25 str AND dex gives you just 5% extra dmg as pierce shade. So when you compare that to an item with +4% to both melee and style ie. the Champ wep. You can see that it gives you almost equal amount of extra damage, but you did not have to equip low util items with bonuses to str / dex caps, nor had to fill up the new caps with str or dex.

basically, if you can fit in extra str/dex, great, but if it hurts your temp, try to fit in less.

 

[Xxcalibur]

not good temp tbh

 

[xGenocidex]

gonna sound really silly this.. i played my mates ns a few days ago won't reveal name for obvious reasons.. it had 10 str cap 10 dex cap... nothing more few artis VERY bad toa bonus... used leg weapons and still killed most other stealthers perfectly fine gonna try make a decent leg wep template myself i love the things! bloody mental weapons ;D

 

[Neffneff]

more qui, more slash sist, and less AF. why use sucha low util ring (ring of brute) when only good thing about it is the 25AF which you dont need 15 of?

perhaps try swapping in grimeils(sp?) ring for 12 AF, 40 hits cap and better util.

Switched the brute ring to grimeils and got this:
