Currently working on a template with scalars, nailah's, croc ring, immo ring, CS and maybe band of stars. My problem is, I can't figure out which staff to use. At the moment, I have traldor's activated, but would I gimp myself by using staff of gods, or is tartaros a must?

Also I'm having some problems capping both pie cap, dex cap, resists, stats and skills at the same time.. is there anything I can leave out without gimping myself too much?

Still working on template, will post when I get something I kinda like... input and help would be really appreciated :)

Tartaros is by far the best staff atm and it's not so hard to get so I would definately go for that one.

As for the capping problems, imo you can leave out matter and spirit resists and there is no need to go over the edge in one , rather have 24 than 27 in a resist cuz' that will not decide your faith. There are either no need to go over cap with con or hits, cuz' it doesn't help too much. Allso there is only need to cap one skill depending on your spec but darkness most likely.

Thats pretty much it I can think of..

Runie template...

Tartaros is by far the best staff for a ultimate runie template (even though staff of god works if you are having trouble getting other range items)

And as Zebolt said: You can leave out the following resists without actually gimping your char too much i rvr: Matter, crush, spirit, and even maybe some cold.

Dex and piety cap is very important though so try to get them as high as you can. One thing I dont agree with Zebolt on is the HP/Con Cap...they are horribly important in todays rvr. You really really need to get your hps up to atleast 1550+ with buffs or you will find yourself getting singleshotted by firewizzes and scouts way to much. Try to get atleast 120 hp cap and if possible some con cap (but thats harder on casters so its mainly a bonus) and max out your: Piety, dex, con and hp ofc!:) (Btw the reason why tartaros is the best staff atm is ofc that its ALOT harder to get your spell damage up to 10% from itemst han it is getting your range or speed up. And Tartaros is kinda free 5% damage. (and ofc the buildin powers of tartaros isnt to shabby either.)

As above posters stated, tartaros is probably the best staff, but in an template without 10% resist pierce, i would go for Traldors, if you dont feel that the mcl charge is a must have. Why? 5% resist pierce is better then 5% damage. Give to that 5% spell haste wich combined with CS gives you the 10% speed. After that, maybe staind boots for 6throw in the soot ? dex and pie cap, and you will land around 20ish cap on both pie and dex which in my book is good enough. Then try to work the resists/hp/skill out and see what you get :)

I got no hp/con cap and 1000 hp unbuffed, 1484 (I think) buffed. I've never once been 1 shotted by any class and even if I did, those 150 hp I'd get from hp/con cap wouldn't help me stay alive even if it saves me from the first shot. But thats just my oppinion ofc :>

And allso I would change +11 RC to +11 dark since you probably are a darkcarver?

I'm 47rc 26supp spec atm, but need to change it to a more optimal spec at some point... just not sure which would be nice. Personally I love the bolts, and nearsight is great too.

What else did you think of the template I posted besides the +rc thing Zeb?

I think it's good, one thing I think you should do tho is to trade Band of Stars for Ceremonial Bracer (dex, to not lose dex cap), the mezz feedback is great to have and the stats are decent.

And I allso think you should trade the belt for Jacinas to get the last range and a good ae mcl charge. Allso I think changing the jewel for either Atlantis Tablet or Erinys Charm. But these items don't come easy so I guess it's up to how much time and energy you wanna put into it.

Other than that I think it's a good template with the equipment in it. One last thing tho, I should trade the 3+ spirit resist on your arms to 3+ energy, pbaoe are ewul :>

Nothing much rly, but I should really change the bracer.

Using these artis in my temp if I remember it right. Havent been playing for a while:

GoV
Tartaros
Erinys
Scalars
Jacinas
Dex CB
Croc ring
Cloudsong

Then there are a few must have non arti items:

Soot stained boots
Bracer of heavenly bodies (or any other bracer with 2% casting speed, I happen to like the con and hitscap on this one)
Beaded resisting stones
Immolated ring


Gives 9% unrestricted dmg, 10% casting speed, 10% range, 10% passive res piercing, 25 dexcap 25 acuity cap, 33% power.

Yes, you can get 26 in dex and acuity cap, but the sacrifices needed to get that extra point just aint worth it, unless you get hold of a really nice rog item that fits into leg, arms or helmet slot and just happen to have that cap increase.


SC headgear, legs and arms to match your own taste. Some ppl wants to cap resists, some want more con, others want +skills. And so on.

Heavenly bracer a must? definately not, use ebonhide for resists imo and ring of the torrent for the last speed bouns, much better stats over all :>

Zebolt, ya, ring of the torrent is very nice. But it's easy enough to overcap melee resists even without it. And crush res aint all that crucial, especially not as a kobold rm. On top of that, you'd have to get the dex and acuitycap you loose when you ditch immolated ring from somewhere too.

Worked quite hard to make a good template with ring of the torrent and croc tear ring before, but in the end immolated ring fit in better.

Atm the items I have are:
Nailah
Tartaros
Croc ring (unactivated, missing scrolls)
Scalars
Immo ring
SoM boots

Rest of the items need to fit, but I want the best I can get for a medium amount of time spent. I'm taking a break when my sub runs out next time, but I would like to finish the template first. Could really use some advice on items I could use along with the items I have already :)

True, I didn't think of the loss of immolated ring. I don't fancy croc ring myself at all so I guess thats why I missed that part :>
