Scout Template - Champions Bow

[Danamyr]

I've had yet another go at making a template. I've tried to take onboard comments made in previous threads. I feel as though this is my best Scout template to date.

Please post your opinions

Are they upgrading the twisted hair of malamis belt? or is that the hib version.

The one my scout has only has 12 dex 4 stealth 7dex/str cap and 2% melee haste.

Oh fook

It's the belt that's in the Albion Erinthag's database. I'll check on Allakhazam.

Thanks

 

[rampant]

as you are slash - you want to be capping your STR when in Melee mode.

ROT is very nice ring and it has a 17% haste charge on it as well

 

[Danamyr]

That is just impossible.

There is no way you can cap Str, cap Dex, have +11 Slash, Stealth and LB, capped ToA Archery bonuses, > 75 Con and capped (or all above 20) resists.

This template has 8 higher Str cap then the last ones I've made and that'll have to do. I've been trying to improve my Scout's template for the last 4-5 months and this really is my best effort to date.

Ideally I'd like to have 101 Str, 101 Con, 101 Dex, 400 Hits, +11 to all skills, capped ToA bonuses and capped resists...but then I'd have to haxxor my characters database entry in GoA, so

 

[rampant]

get a ring of silent oblivion (beg shanessa for a cheap price )- change your ebon hide bracer for band of stars (+5 str / con cap) - BOS has got a nice debuff proc on an enemy and it gets updated to +6 str / con. You have to compromise on some of your resists, but you can make it

Don't forget enough quickness to cap 250 qui when buffed!

 

[CuddleBunny!]

Get SOJ, and a ithbow!

Wtf is an ithbow?

Where can I see a list of which items get an update and what their new stats are?

And thanks

What type of scout are you planning to be, melee or sniper?

 

[Danamyr]

What type of scout are you planning to be, melee or sniper?

Both, with focus on ranged damage. My Scout's current spec is 45 LB, 42 Shield, 35 Stealth and 30 Slash.

I accept that my melee ability will never set the world alight, but that's true of the Class generally anyway. With 44 effective Slash ATM + Battler + SoM + Malice I think I should still be able to give a good account of myself in melee if needs be

Could you not just use a crafted shield and get alot of the bonuses missing on that or something ;/ ?

Something i forgot to mention in my previous post. The champions bow isnt that great from what i have been told. The main problem is it makes you stand out like a neon light once unstealthed.

like foolsbow when the proc goes off

The stats on it are great though. The ToA bonuses are identical to Fool's Bow, but the only problem I can see with it is that it's too slow to be a main bow. It would be great for Crits, but perhaps something like Braggart's would make a better 'normal use' bow?

 

[CuddleBunny!]

Braggart's is the best scout bow ever, no question about it :<

 

[Danamyr]

That's the one I want to use, but trying to make a template around it is driving me insane

 

[Gethin]

Braggarts is one of my fav bows, i also happen to like the big hits from Bullhorn, Laodameia's and immolated (assuming you can get a crit to land)

 

[Gethin]

Fools bow has to proc, the champion bow is like it as soon as you switch to bow mode which imho is a huge difference.

 

[Cybwyn]

Champion bow looks nice and has nice stats but one thing that concerns me...
