You are doing a bit better than the template I'm using atm.

1.62 - FWR gets a boost to stats. Not 100% sure what it is tho. Ancient Ebon Ring (Malmo skald ring) also becomes fairly nicely statted, and is useful for Skalds who have been collecting resist-heavy Jewellery sets.

Try going to 33/28 for all of your overcharges. It's expensive, but worth it.

Venstreks might be replaced by Avboyning - dunno how that fits in comparison with the resist types on them and the relevance to your template tho.

Glacier Jewel quest might also be an idea for you. I don't know if you have already done it and got a jewel you dont particularly like, or just don't know about it, but you have a fairly good chance of getting a 3x12%+ resist jewel out of it.

Consider getting MP gloves and boots. Tho you will be paying 5-10x the price for these parts, you will be getting an extra 8 overcharge points 'relatively' cheaply.

Beware having gems on armor that is > 40% of the total imbue of the piece. You start hurting the efficiency of your template the higher it gets.

And my last thought - Beaded Resisting Stone. Is it as good as the UV would suggest? Or is it the spawn of satan worming its way into all our templates (it hurts to leave it out), and as a result stuffing up all the other good itams we can stick on the template?

 

[old.Hellskor]

for a common-gear suit : Skald SC Gear

relative cheap and quite decent.

But with Ancestral Secrets being repeatable, you can probably get a better one soon.

Another question is, if you got those item's like 'Agmundrs Foe Slayer' already.

was just tweaking abit... dont got agmundrs foe slayer, im gonna attend all raid till i get it thou! even if it takes months im gonna get it!

 

[old.Glabbin]

btw, it seems that no matter what items u use...
u always overcap cold and body!

 

[old.Hellskor]

How about the quest bracers ? Completed it already, or can you still choose which ones to get ?

my skald is still 39... gonna have sc armors etc.. ready for lvl 50, so bracers i can choose!

 

[-foadon-]

just imo, dont go for quik, its way too difficult to cap the rest already, let alone quik, make sure char is capped, colddoesntave to be capped imo, not very much cold nukers in alb/hib, maybe lower the resist you have 5% racial for, and drop some parry if your still notable to cap, its not tat big of deal to have +11

/cheer for 3 Left axe

Agree 100% - it seems so nice yet it conflicts badly with the other easily available high end gear

Whoever created the endgame gear for Midgard was either an idiot or a genius depending on your perspective...

Should try to make a template that has items with stats similar to the items you'll want to gather in TG. Like for example, make the hauberk have the same stats as the Discordant Vest so you can replace it without remaking the whole suit when you get the DV (every skald needs one, really). Oh and Agmundr's Foe Slayer.

It's very hard to make a good template for us skalds. I wouldn't bother with dexterity and if it isn't possible I wouldn't really care to add the +11 parry as it wont do much.
