Pierce NS Template help!

[Mckennitt]

Its been in my mind for a few days now so im asking if any of you l337 grey con killers have a decent pierce NS template.
Before u even start making it just read the following advice:

I need Gov/golden spear/croc tooth/som / golm in it and if possible ml10 legs.
I dont require any uber umbah NS template just a decent to run with. Nor i want any smart comments about pierce spec or choice of the items i want in it. Give all your templates to m3!

Mck

 

[Mckennitt]

Edit : Try to fit foppish sleeves in it too!

 

[Fuaip]

looking forward to see a temp with that combination of items

 

[Ballard]

If you know you want all those items shouldnt be to hard to put them in korts, add some high util jewelery and SC

 

[Nosufer]

I'm looking for any good pierce or blade NS temps, most i have seen are pretty poor.

 

[Ballard]

p.s elf or luri?

 

[Frozodo]

im currently working on doing a template for me shade but the problem i keep having is that i min want 90 dex/str, 100 con 400hp 45quick and 50AF if possible so i aint making it easy :\ for myself but i keep playing around with it

 

[Mckennitt]

its elf dude. luris looks sh.it

 

[Ivynoxia]

90 dex/str, 100 con 400hp 45quick and 50AF

how about...
85 dex/str 100 con 396 hp 42 quick and 25 AF?

That was the best I managed for pierce

 

[Nosufer]

Please post that template

 

[Ivynoxia]

Sure, i've made it using Golden Spear main and pierce champ weap for offhand (you can also swap to a heat/cold legendary weapon with a boots change, SC for those boots is listed in the ranged slot, it's optional - just in case you fight something almost immune to physical damage.)

And artifacts used: Guard of Valor, Shades of Mist, Ring of Dances, Eerie Darkness Lighting Stone

Cold is a bit high and Body resists is a bit crap but it's a sacrifice I had to make to make it a 1 swap temp, you can always drop 3 envenom and put that into Body, if u can live with 2 swap for envenom. I was quite happy with this template but I made another temp that uses Energy damage and wanted to play around with that used energy to get from rr6 -> rr8, worked suprisingly well on a lot of targets hehe. Since rr8 tho I've gone blades Zzzz

Edit: Most of the DS tempered items used are available and cheap on the ME. Ring of Moirai is a bit trickier to find cheaply

 

[Ballard]

Tried to make it strictly to your requirements with only cheap items (I never make expensive templates so no malamis belt or anything like that). On the plus side it is very cheap but i cant say its great. as their are some major weaknesses (two swap items and uncapped pierce). probably need to look at being a bit more flexible with your requirements or forking out for some expensive items to get a good temp. The resists are quite good tho and damage output should be good.

[Ivynoxia]

yeah that's not too bad considering we had to use those items

I had something awful earlier in my attempts..

 

[Ballard]

bleh , ctd should be 3% style not 3% debuff on my temp above.

 

[Ivynoxia]

hehe, style is 10% max anyhow so no biggie..
bah, u got me fiddling about with korts at 2 in the morning now, nerf

 

[Reza]

With gov,ctd, and golm you have your basis for toa melee and style bonuses sorted without a mainhand. Its kinda the basic pierce no mainhand staple artis (although id use ml10 off instead of ctd probably). Anyway so you should consider a 12 dex mainhand temp.

Then with SoM you have nice /use and just need to consider rod for 1 more SL.

Then after that your entire temp should revolve around 1st working out where you get your last 3% melee speed (7 from som + ctd), ie can you afford something like levi deep ring or do u need 2 * 2% bonus from a belt and bracer. 2ndly see how much +str,+dex and +hits cap you can get while still using decent util items (maybe try and fit some of the ok util new epic armor).

How many items you want for envenom swapping, how hi you value +CD skill and your resist prioritising need also to worked out.

 

[Mckennitt]

Keep it going - so far ive beaten all the templates ;p With a slight improved version than the one ive send to Ivy.

(Its not that i cant afford the levi ring or whatsoevah, but more likely that i cant be bothered as im making 6x templates atm and i would rather be thankfull to finish em soon instead of some years.)

Cheers for the posts so far!
