Reaver Template Perfectionist

[eggy]

you have to wear your artis for the full re use timer to be able to /use or /use2

Nope, you don't.

 

[Dalmar-Hume]

unless its only on the few artis ive tried this on - i couldnt get my belt of sun to summon weapons for me after i just put it on (havnt tested it since patch so maybe im wrong - and havnt tested on SoM) will have to check it out later

 

[eggy]

There's a certain way of doing it...but if I tell you I might get banned for bug abuse, cos ofc I don't do it myself :touch:

 

[waok`whips]

no need to be ML8 to test it, SR + piety is for the RR5 ability not ML8 ability.

Yes I know this, but based on overall damage too determine its full use and whether or not its an option i should take in my template as a permanent stat rather than one I'm going tobe swapping around, I.e +SR.

you have to wear your artis for the full re use timer to be able to /use or /use2 them so swapping out your SoM isnt really a good plan (sure you can do it first run or during a break but is it really necessary? ) also the use2 ability of SoM stops you from having a clerics heal proc on your self (something about already haveing a defensive proc)

1: nope, not nessairly
2:yeh, but would rather have SoM proc

and why no +shield damnit?!

 

[waok`whips]

Cos I'm a gimp, well that and, I hear that +shield only adds too % too block and also damage on shield styles. I'm only going tobe slamming the target once (cos of end), and thus damage isnt imporatnt too me. I will get the extra STR from the +25 in template, not much I guess, but still increases my chnace too land slam because of increase in WS. We block enough w/o +shield. Think of it this way, if your a SR reaver, then your going too need +shield becuase its gonna be something like 35 (for paralyze , 270o back stun 6sec), but SR reavers don't need +SR, becuase its something like 0.004 or some wierd stat that proves basically having +SR as a L50 Sr reaver is a waste.

A slam reaver however would need too place +SR on template (like i'm gonna do, maybe buy some cheap leather boots and sc the +Sr onto them.) tobe on par with the damage a L50 SR reaver does, thats why I'm jamming so much piety into template too make up for it. Besides, when I'm finally done! Hopefully sometime this century, I expect I'll be bombing alot, so 'd rather get the most important stats that enhance that special ability, than anything else first.. even if it means gimping resists or whatnot.

Think too many people focus on trying toget cap dex/str, and forget about all the things that make a reaver what it is, which is a hybrid.

Did you consider Scurceols Belt btw?

Not 'uber' but its not that bad too.

Personally would rather focus on lowering the caps abit (preferably STR; since DEX also determines your blocking/parrying if u wanna solo abit) and increase resists.

Letting energy slack sounds like bad to me; hib PBAE will love you (and the argument 'I should interrupt em' doesnt really hold ground when they hit MOC3)

 

[Konah]

you'd be better off going for +hits cap, which will probably also make imbuing a little easier.

aye, and +hits arent affected by str/con debuffs or malice afaik...

 

[Tilda]

Just like to add, that SR over 50 isn't needed.
SR only adds dammage to SQ and lifetaps etc, up to 50, so as long as you reach 50 with spec + items + RR, you're fine.

Tilda

 

[waok`whips]

Alot of US reavers were frustrated 'cos alot of them specifically went 50 SR just too increase SQ damage, then they find out that +SR scaling upto 50 'effective' spec is just the same in terms of damage, however going past 50 does give extreemly small variance, so small it's not even worth going over 50 as Tildai said.

 

[Night]

well I still think having +shield is important, but still gonna play around with my template

 

[waok`whips]

Re-worked template, think it's ok.

I've tried on TD, swapping it with another weapon, and it resets the timer. :\ Dunno, if it happens with all arties.

 

[Puppet]

Depends how you swap. And its fixed in 1.72 iirc
