You're HO so you definitely need 101 dex and 10% cast speed...

 

[Pin]

Well. It's cheap, at least.

Have just finished making this template up and am quite happy with it. I only have 2 artifacts, both easy to get and easy to level. The quests are all pretty easily do-able with a low number of people. I only need to buy 3 MP bits of armour and get them SC'd so won't be spending too much. With that in mind what do you think?

Personally I'd get resists up as much as you can, cash is dead easy in TOA, the gold that has gone through my fingers in game is staggering compared to pre TOA, up the quality of some crafted items and up the resists to cap.

The whole thing looks fine if you need a cheap and cheerful RVR template, all my artifacts for my wizard (I have 9 or so now) have been done with less than a FG without exception, I wont be using all of them mind you, but some are pretty nice (Dreamsphere for eg), so you can get artis with small groups if required.

And, OMG overcharge those bits that you have had crafted, on 32 imbue points (MP) you can get 5.5 overcharge that alone might get you a few capped resists.

Some of the Artis I have are: Tarts Gift (Decays like a bastard tho) lvl5 you get MLC2, Dreamsphere lvl5 self shapechange lvl10 is group change (Until you get hit then that person loses panther form), Belt of the moon for the lvl10 create staff and lvl5 10% melee resists (Ok this is just fun, 10% more the melee resist makes you last 1 sec longer against a savage), Ring of dances (Cuz it is easy to level, realm lore etc) all are easy to get and not too hard to fit into templates.

I'm sure others will give you a more in depth opinion, but do what makes yer happy

 

[CliffyG]

I'll definately consider the overcharge but it only really helps me on 4 resists, all my other stats cap easily without overcharging.

I can live with dropping 1% cast speed , i have mota 2 at the moment and will be going to at least 2 with aug dex so the 18 drop isn't too much of a blow. Especially when you consider getting any +dex cap items is going to cause me to redo a large portion of my template. Yes it's not the most uber SC suit you'll see but i really cba to spend any time i don't have to camping arti's and farming scrolls. Also more arti's equals less utility which means i need less ToA armour which means i lose cast speed which means i need more arti's etc.

Can someone tell me exactly what drop in performace i'm going to see from being 18 down in dex, 1% in cast speed and up to 6 down in a resist?

 

[Flimgoblin]

yeah - anything mp you should put 37.5 imbue on
99% should have 33.5 imbue

shame not to really

 

[CliffyG]

OK overcharging the resists now gets me these stats:
