[stinkie]

few things to help:

1. dont know whats in your left hand but change it.

2. Bracer veiled eye's is a quest reward - the quest cant be done by cloth wearers and is aprox 45+ so i hope u got a high non caster alt to get 2. dont expect to buy these. most people that did the quest did it to get this bracer and know its worth

3. think about where you need your bonuses to go. e.g. your only going to want +str and +slash when you have your swords / sheild equiped, it doesnt help at all if u have a drum in ur hand.

4. max heat resist. very important. most hib nukes and all hib stuns are heat and we all know what an arse they are.


Hope this helps.

[Vireb]

nah any one can get bracer of eyes mate its abn anyone aver lvl 41 quest

 

[Belomar]

Hmm, why +0 to dexterity? Surely dexterity is more important than quickness?

Then again, I haven't looked into an SC template for Belomar, I'll start off with one for my Cabalist.

 

[Tilda]

nope, pure casters cant do bracer of eyes
i :wub: j00 amb

[thrylos]

Left hand is a 99% arcanium small shield.

About dex or quick: dex helps me block/evade more while qui makes me evade more and hit faster(better dmg over time). i already have a new version of the spec with less stealth (44 with items) - energy resist and more heat resist and dex.

This is it:

btw both templates are with sword/shield equiped

 

[old.LandShark]

Scrap that shield and get a duskwood reinforced, it's lvl51 instead of lvl46 or whatever your current one is. Also i would really suggest MP gloves/boots since they're pretty cheap. There's an auction in items forum atm for MP boots i believe, or contact Tyrn in-game.
I would post my config but it uses a full MP (apart from hauberk) chain suit, sabre and shield, so it's probably not that helpful to you...

Config report is as follows anyhow:

76str
76con
75cha
63dex
198hits

26%slash thrust heat energy cold body, 25% matter crush spirit.
+11slash
+11stealth

Instruments i just used 99%qua ones, +6inst 12hits 3pow. The hits/pow just being to use the imbue pts up tbh...
+inst is practically worthless anyway since resists are based on the lvl of the spell vs the lvl of the target, and spec doesn't seem to affect it.
Btw I think I'm specced the same as you, 32stealth 37slash?
I didn't want to drop any +slash (for example to max out my dex) because i'd rather have the extra weaponskill.

 

[thrylos]

oki after some more more changes ive come to my final template. Ill use a 99% reinforced duskwood shield now (28 imbue points) but i cant afford any more MP chains (the boots auction is at 1.6plat atm ^^).

Resists are almost capped xcept spirit & matter.

[old.Darkan]

Can anyone give me any ideas on a thrust specc?

I have no idea where to start.

 

[old.LandShark]

A thrust SC plan, you mean? Or an actual spec? You better mean the SC plan cos otherwise i'm about to waste 10 minutes
Go to Order of the Forge and download the spellcraft calculator. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3, grease two baking trays...

Take 2 infernal diamond rings. (DF merchant)
12con 12str 10%cold, from each.

Take one gem of the spirit abhorrent (Pygmy goblin drop from 1.57 onwards), 7%heat 7%body 7%matter 7%energy

Add Toe-Bone belt, from shrouded isles quest, +6thrust, 2%thrust resist, 6hits, 4dex.

Sprinkle liberally with cloak of renitency, 6%body 6%slash 15con hooded, from quest given by Caer Ulfwych shield merchant.

Dice the belt, mix with the rings and crush the gem to a coarse powder. Add milk and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring briskly, before grating in an avernal necklace, 10%heat 10%energy 19con. (DF merchant)

Serve on a bed of rocket with the following:
(SI quest gives you your choice of any two, not tradable, cannot be two of the same bracer)
Bracer of Health: 30 Hits, 6%Heat, 6%Energy, 8%Slash.

Bracer of the Stealthy: 4 Quickness, 4 Stealth, 10%Heat, 8%Body .

--
Right, bored of that now.
That's how to start With a good accessories set up...
After that just tweak tweak tweak =P
Concentrate on maxing out: Str con dex cha, for a thrust minstrel str is the least important of those i guess. Then in terms of resists.... slash thrust heat body energy i would say are vital to max out. Crush you can make do with 15% or so, since alb chain has 10% or 15% natural crush resist depending on who you ask. Cold is also nice. Matter and spirit are least important, though not unimportant =P
Few tips: put skills on in increments of +3 or +4, resists 7% or 9%, stats 16/19/22...
K? :>

Btw if you actually wanted a spec, here's one for you: slash

Thats my config and im using epic arms, coif and gloves. Im strongly considering putting +6 stealth on my flute, changing my hauberk from +3 slash to +3 stealth and using a +2 stealth cloak so i can get +11 stealth if i need to (only swapping one item, and equipping my flute).
I agree + inst does very little, about 2 or 3 more dd damage for +9 inst i found, however it does help a lot with charming.

Thanks very much for your help Landshark
