Hi

Below is an attempt for a template for our skald.

I have hopefully understood the new armour issues and included them correctly.

I would appreciate some comments, as I am a little unsure what is essential for a skald, and some assurance I have got the issue changes correct.

Thanks

Ash

What Nibble said, you don't need dex as a skald, but you need quick.

You can also check out this thread:
VN Boards - Skald CW template - help wanted!

It has templates by me, Cuteypie and Emblurr. I can't really say which of those is the best though. Matter of personal taste, but they are all nice. :)

very nice that last one septima, i dont find both wh and phoebus a good solution though, since u will have so many 5 min timers to use u wont ever use one of them, this is considering using som+celerity or wh/phoebus+celerity when som is down. as its always nice to be able to use battler, or scepter in combat

Agreed, and iirc the eirene /use2 is the same as malice one and I don't think it got nerfed?

It used to be a little shorter duration than Malice, but i don't remember how much.
Atm, Eirene's has a 15 sec duration with 50% melee absorb, so it's twice as good, but 5 sec shorter than Malice. Well, twice as good, unless your target survives those 15 sec and then beats you up. :p
As a skald it shouldn't be too hard to kite for 15 sec though.
I haven't checked if it's purgable, like Malice charged used to be, but they probably fixed that with Eirene's as well.

I like your template too, Septima, but i have to agree with Cutey, Phoebus and WH is a bit too much.
Using Tick for that last 1% melee speed was a good idea though. Haven't thought about that. :)

Sollers, you can already change your Eirene's. I have the str version on my skald now.

Well the second template i posted here is taken from the one you posted on VN with little changes, so you deserve most of credits.

Yes i'm aware of the timers problems with PH/WH/celerity/battler, had this same problems on my valk template. So i aggre with you and cutey. And i will prolly not stick with WH on final template for skald. On this template you can easely take off WH and use zahur bracer instead of aggramon bracer, in order to get the 31AF bonus with same HP's. And with one more SC part you can squeeze the 11 parry or cap your charisma.

Btw whats the reason behind the will to get more charisma on template you expressed on VN post?

What can you buy with BP's?

Is it just encounters, scrolls and ML credits?

Char, hits and con are the things i'd like more of in that template, though +parry would also have been great or some dex.
I try to aim for 50+ char. As long as i get that, it's fine. I tested it a while ago and each point in char increased my DD damage by 0.33 vs 24% body + 10% from CL resists.
VN Boards - Pros and Cons of templating Charisma?
That's roughly 18 more damage per DD with 55 char. In a 1 min fight, that's 10 DDs if none are resisted.

Now that fights last as long as they do, i'd definately take 50 char over, say, 80 extra hitcap. Some classes i can barely touch and a good part of my damage will come from DDs.
Getting 75 char in a template will mean gimping something else a little too much. At least so far, unless i come up with the best template ever! :p
It's all about finding the right balance and for me that's 50+ char. Had it been a group template, i wouldn't care about char at all.

Instead of duamet's belt try to use Plaited hair of malamis belt, frees you one ring slot and a bracer slot for items with more utility. Working around that i managed to get a template with better resists and hp's.

If you interested in seing the result i can post it here or send you via pm, but first need to double check some item data, and don't have the time now, it's why i didn't posted it yet ;)
