Scout template. need help

[halgaard]

im having a hard time to decide between these 2 templates
so please discuise and give me some oppinions

Stealth 33
Longbow 46
Shield 42
Thrust 29

or

Stealth 33
Longbow 46
Shield 11
thrust 50

to be honest i like the first one best since im starting to get addicted to the shield spec
but will it be impossible to slam an assasin with the first spec because of the low thrust?

if I picked the 2nd spec, i would have to use alot of RA's on dodger before that would be viable right?

Thanks in advance.

Try

34 slash
42 shield
45 lb
rest in stealth

try and read 1.62, then spec imo

or xplo spec is good to

Slash sucks ass if saracen, go thrust. And u can slam SB's quite easily if buffed.

 

[m4rk]

Yep... weapon skill alot lower on saracen when using Slash apparently.

My scout has 18 Thrust and can quite easily Slam

yeh wepskill 300points lower for slash than thrust, add on a str debuff and things look nasty for the slash user

33 stealth
45LB
50 thrust
14 shield

originl spec: (ish) 40+thrust 50lb 34stealth (low)shield

respec: 20thrust 50lb 34stealth 42shield

differences i noticed were. yey i had slam. chance to slam before death minimal, but it does save your life sometimes (usually when u have IP and purge and a mile or 2 to run away)

sword dmg: unstyled .. basically the same damage in both specs.. shi'te. 60-80. did notice an increase in SB evade aftrer respec. (due to lower wepskill i hear)

similarities: couldnt kill an sb before or after respec. but roll on 1.62, oh 50lb gives ya a new quickshot ability doesnt it 1.62?

btw, when we had 3strength relics last week, killed 2 (unbuffed?)SB that popped on me, amazingly. Brought a tear to my eye

if i ever find the courage to start leveling my scout beyond lvl 24 i'm going for:
45 lb
50 shield
leftovers stealth (33 i believe).

would like to try it , since according to tests on critshot forums you get better damage this way then by speccing 20-40 in thrust and im kinda curious to find out if its true

 

[nightsorrow]

yes read the same thing, you can spam brutaliza like 15 times before u run out of endurance

and do more damage with a shieldstyle that doesnt succeed, (so u hit with weapon)

so i would like to test it myself aswel sometime

and saracen slash sux now imo, i want thrust for sure
