Reavers

[[TP]Darksbane]

anyone tried a SC template for Reavers yet?
what skills should be capped?

Dex and Str need to be capped if flex specced,
becos 50% str, 50%dex = dmg output? (think thats right).

Deffo want to cap Constitution.

PIety is your Spell dmg output so this wants capping.

so after that, if u want to have some quickness, your ganna lose out on some resists.

is it best to forget quickness and just go for shitloads of frontload dmg. like the Zerkers do??

Okay... well, I've done the real El Cheapo version - uses 4 epic bits.


(okay, so it uses MP for the bits I have swapped, but drop the gem levels down a bit for the same effect with 99s).

When doing a full set, keep the epic helm and dump the rest - with a bit of work you _can_ cap everything.


And no, you don't want to ignore quickness imo - we do not get +300% damage from our style bonuses

40 util is pretty shit. But it looks nice

I think Reavers are pretty lucky with how the stats on the epic mostly fit with the better jewelry setup. Only thing over is Body resist... but it seems to be that way for most setups now

All items are easy to get, some are from SI.
not sure what cloak the Reaver gets from the zombies,ghosts and necromancers quest, hopefully its the one iv put in this template.

Only 21 +hits? A rethink definately needed there!

And yes, Reavers get the Hooded Blades cloak.

+200 hits?
whats that equal to then, 1 nuke. 1 hit from a zerker?
personaly id rather go for more resists or higher quickness.

ooookaaaayyy...


200 hits for a reaver works out to ~18%. That's 18% against all damage types. In terms of imbue, that's equivalent to 25% in 1 resist (drop the least useful one for example), or ~3% off them all.


18% vs. 3% ? Hmmm... seems like a tough choice to me.

 

[Pin]

If you start looking at things as 'ah well, what does XX really give me? 1 more hit?', then well...

why put 75 con on, that's only just over 250 hits. what's that? 1 hit? 1 nuke?

Hell, why level to 50? you'll only last 1 hit more than a 47.

errr... The template I posted above was the really cheap one I knocked up for cheapskates - or for me to use for a couple of weeks. I'll do a lot better than that at a later date

 

[Trubble]

Flex reavers dont get any good anytime style.

So you might as well go for max quickness on your SC set. That way you will hit faster and if you are in right position you will get off more procs, which is damage directly enhanced by being hasted. It really pays off for a reaver to be hasted.
