PvE Animist Template

[Dwarf]

I think this can be good starting template. Its cheap, efficient and easy to get. All items (excluding epic 9) can be get solo or duo. I personally soloed most of them with hero.
No arti or MP are included, full melee resists, 62% power pool, high bonus for other important stats (hits, con, dex, int). Power regen, power heal and s/c debuff charges on items.

At the end few words to some items:

Sun Scorched Cap: Seed Pouch Quest, ToA
Can be still soloed. U just need to take agro of dust devils (yellow/orange for 50) on shroom or a friend for abt 40 seconds (time for area action). Run underwater and away. Go back after u lost agro and repeat it.

Funereal Gloom Staff: droped by Carrion (Deadlands of Annwn, cata)
First kill flying ball around temple to spawn Carrion. After u kill him, he splitts into several balls again. Repeat it again until u get reward. In each round the mobs are higher and higher con. To finish u must kill Carrion 3 times (red con for 50 at the end). One advice: there is port stone very close to spawn position

Ring of Despairing Souls: droped by Manicom (Daedlands of Annwn, cata)
Orange con mob for lvl 50. Can be very easy pulled from safe distance. Drops 2 items. If u r lucky u will get both rings at one time.

Mordom´s Mind: droped by Mordom (3k, 3k; Oceanus Notos)
Easy mob to kill. Yellow con for 50.

Paidrean Necklage, Aiglean Earring: The Lost Seed Quest, SI
Can be done solo or duo. A little bit or luck is neccessary to get reward u want.

Arboreal Mage Belt: reward for epic 8
Ivy Entwined Sleeves: reward for epic 9

1183 aurulite is needed.

Thats all folks. Pls comment :worthy:

 

[Cadelin]

It does what you state but I know you can make better PvE templates just as easily.

Its not hard to get either a champ weapon or taratos gift (for the MCL2 charge). Also Eternal Plant (or Kalares necklace) should be put in for the power over time charge.

I don't know about shroomers but isn't spell duration improtant for those FaF shrooms when you pet spam?

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Does spell duration affect EP ticks btw?

 

[Enli]

good one to start with, now keep ur eyes open for the arties mentioned
and some pl sessions so u get champ staff

 

[Hiolo]

Need max spell dur and more dex imo and cast speed is nice to keep as high as posible, spell range is nice to cap to

 

[Influenza]

Heres mines ive been using , needs 2 MP peices , 1 of the new bits ( the legs) .The ring i got from somewhere in catacombs cant remember where atm.

[Dwarf]

U all r correct, but as I wrote, its just starting template. One of my top priority was very high power pool bonus, because shroom spell consuming much of mana.
In the next step should be int and dex capped, better spell dur and dmg and higher power pool.
To the template: Do you really think that for starting template is jacina, bracer of snow and 2 MP good choise? MP is expensive, bracer is ML9 drop and jacina is not so easy to get, definitely not solo

I just posted it to give you some ideas , you dont have to copy it m8

 

[Graendel]

Here's what I use for pve. I also wanted something very easy and cheap with high power pool and the important stuff capped. It was also important for me to get certain charges and stuff in - Jacinas, Champ staff, 2x Mordom's Mind and Eternal Plant.

Both legs and feet use the stat cap armor (5% power and 5 dex cap)

Dwarf, are you aware that you no longer need to get the arti to activate it? Just get the encounters and scrolls. I am there are a few arti raids you can go on to pick up the correct credit and farming scrolls shouldn't be too hard, if you can't buy it all.

I will agree getting MP armour is an unescessary expense but there are some ML9 drops (check the market explorer) that are very cheap/easy to farm (especially now). I left out Jacina sash in my first recommendation because I knew those scrolls are still a bit tricky to get but the other scrolls should be not to hard to come by because the artis aren't that popular.

Not good at all. You dont seem to understand the distinction between power% and +power, or how the power pool is derived.

- You actually only have 48% power pool. You have SC imbued +power. That is not % power. SC +power is absolutely worthless in a template. Even the cheapest level 50 spell costs more than all your imbued power put together. Note: It is impossible to SC imbue %power into a template (other than the 5th slot bonuses)

- You need 101 acuity for a decent power pool, %power should be the second priority as acuity is the main stat in determining your base power pool. %power is then applied as a modifier to the base power pool.

Yeah, u r right. Thats my fault, I thought that +power = %power. So thx for correction.
