Solo hero template 1.81

[Tusk]

Hi der, I am thinking about playing some daoc again when the new expansion is released. But this time i really want to try focus purely on soloing since thats something ive always enjoyed to do.

The thing is that Im not sure how I should make my template, focus my RAs or what spec is best etc.

Any advice is appreciated

Well thanks But Im not looking for a group really, my hero feels outdated plus Im tired of fg rvr anyway. But solo rvr have always been a fun aspect of daoc and with the new hero boost I think I can beat almost every class

Ohh and I dont care if I have to look hard for good solo rvr, my patience can take it (I hope)

Template focus :

Must have:
Capped Resits
Heat
Cold
Body
Matter
Spirit
All Melee
Toa Bonus
25 Stre
25 Con
10% Style Dmg
10% Melee Dmg
10% Melee Speed
25+ AF Bonus
Artis
U want Malice for Arrogance
If u are LW u want Battler for the charge
U want GoV for the proc
U want SoM for sure
U want Scalars for the proc
Prolly u want Winged Helm (if u manage to squish it in)
Ras
Purge 3
SB2-3
IP2-3
Aug Stre as much as u can (max 4 i'd say)
MoPain 3-4
Some AoM if u can afford it
Rest is fluff for solo

As for specc i found better 50 2h 42 shield 34 1h 20 parry then 50 2h 42 shield 39 1h rest parry.
That said with new changes tactics gets moved to 45 shield, so may want to check if u can get it cause it's good against stealthers and dual wielders.

Oh and ofc go Warlord ^^

Oh Oh and ofc imho ^^

How is the new champion weapons compared to battler/malice and is slam/kite/FA worth it?

Champ weapons have nice stats and sweet procs, tho they almost never proc..
i would advise to use artifacts tbh the proc rate is way to small on cw's

IP3
SB2 or 3, you could probably afford 3
purge 2 or 3
then as much mastery of pain and aug str as you can get.

Template
101 str ofc
400 hits
as much AF as you can fit (25+)
10 spd/damage/style
Cap your melee resists ofc then the rest at least 20, remember, heavy tanks get a resist boost in 1.81 but you should still max what you can.

CL
i am taking naturalist all the way, resists and heals to save on down time

equipment.
battler in 1h for the charge
SoM
Malice as 2h blunt champ weapon as 2h slash, you can have them either way, but for me the champ 2h crush just looks shit, where the 2h slash looks great.
Winged helm
scalers
i wouldnt worry to much about CB or golm, playing solo you dont really need the rez cure on golm and the mez bubble is pretty useless.
i am toying with the idea of using band of stars for the stat debuff, hard to fit it in though due to very low utility.
you also want to get your self a set of leggies, one of each 99% qual heat/cold/matter/spirit
get yourself some mp lvl1 boots and stick AF charges on them.
I have been running with mostly RF armour for a while now due to resist tables, assasins and archers use slash or pierce so it makes sense to use an armour resistant to thier main damage (slash) its a 20% difference, scale 10% weak, RF 10% strong, i havent done any proper tests and i am still unsure which armour type to use in my 1.81 template.

I am working on a 400 hits 101 str 50 AF temp atm, getting very close and will post it when i have made it either way your template needs to be opted with no weakness's, your enemy will take advantage of them if they find them

GL with the solo!.

I guess I will wait and see how your new template turns out before i start making my own then and getting active RAs sounds logical.

 

[Ronso]

Theres still plenty of solo fights to be had around bold - Was out there yesterday and there was a steady flow of mercs pallies and xyrstorfer that reaver who is the BANE of my existence ...Youll get a few good fights I reckon Tusk - gl with it

 

[Enli]

can hewo's activate sok as thrust LW like champs? otherwise nice to have all 3 dmg types

ow and i think bos gets upgraded in 1.81 (wich is still a few months behind DR)

Nope coz they get it thrust as CS (from what Im told)

[Fifta]

Are you guys trying to say that SoK can be activated as a thruster large weapon for champion? :C

Sozzelz for the hijack

Its great when people are running away, say back to a keep, and you use this. Especially if you go Warlord as you will loose throw weapon. Use this and bolt them, nice! If they are not running but you want to take advantage of the range, or interrupt a caster, use the debuff bolt, nice!
Agree its low utility but a nice toy!

Well i was thinking about a new spec for solo fights but the problem is u need hight realm rank to do it and dont lose too much damage, the spec is the next one:

44 Large Weapon
44 Celtic Spear
42 Shield
6 Blades
10 Parry

With Legendary Weapons u will have all damages except Body and Energy.

And with a Hight realm rank u can have a very good damage.

About the template u can use Battler in right hand. for the debuff.
The Eirene Chestpriece. for the arrogance.
SoM. ofc for the ablative.
The Winged Helm. for the use2 thing.
Gem of Lost Memories. for the mezz block and cure illness.
And the Ml 10 weapons Spear LW slash and LW crush rest of weapons will be a few legendary weapons.
I have a good template with those things and can send u it in a PM is np.

 

[Kaun_IA]

im going to specc....50 spear. 50 shield. 27 parry. 10 blades.

gonna try to make a temp without artis.. but some procs are just too nice to have. + ml10 spear ofc. gov, scalars... not so sure about som. might use feathered wrap. s/s setup probably... ml10 mainhander + ml7 large shield.
justa few thoughts i have had so far...

i think its a good defencive and offencive balance... but thats just me.

IMO... not a good idea. couse whit 44 LW you use one of the more usefull styles from the line. anni. + your overall dmg will fall abit in LW and CS.
but then again.. dependant on playstyle and so on.

Ye altho he gonna have cs side style, main prob imo would be the % of slam landed with that setup cause i ain't yet sure about the "hidden" shield ws tbh.

 

[kanijha]

I said that is a spec for a hight RR hero i think that a RR8 + hero should't have any problem in slam with a 42+18 shield and dont lose too much damage with a 44+18 in the other weapons, anyways is a test spec. I think that u all knows about hidden weapon skill in shield. And i know too lose anylation is a pain but ...
