You could also consider swapping JC for something else unless you need +range out of it (cba to check again).

Sash is pretty much a must in healer templates, the 10% of siphon makes quite the difference

I fail to see how 10% chance of not using any power when doing 1 spell makes an item a musthave, especially nowadays when you have atleast 2-3 MCL's in a template. But /shrug, can't cater all tastes. Still, I'm sure there are ways to improve that template I pointed to even if Sash is innit.

less whining about that... more making a template for sm with ml10 vest ;) yarrr ! haha. I do feel Sash as being a little bit out dated now a days ... You have plenty of other toys that can compensate sash...

With my 28%pp druid template I have about 680 power. Assume only healing, on average each spell cost 52power. Medium heal, greater heal and spread

That means that every 10th cast on average, will save 7% if your total power. or 0.7% power per any cast. It is especially noticeable on spreads and greater heals since they cost the most power ofc

Or you can simply break it down and say since 10% of the spells cost nothing, you will save 10% power on average after using an entire power bar. It would be equivalent of a 40%pp template instead. So basically dropping sash, replacing with a higher util item you would have to find an item worth 12% power pool + utility to make up for the deficit in just sheer power.

And then you compound this over a typical fight.

Also note that most druids typically have 50% power charge on weapon+shield atleast. But they are on 15min timers.

Isn't that quite low for up-to date temp? Oh well :)

You know that's not right - If you have a 10% chance to not lose any power when casting a spell, it doesn't mean that you don't lose power every 10th spell.

So basically dropping sash, replacing with a higher util item you would have to find an item worth 12% power pool + utility to make up for the deficit in just sheer power.

/Present 12% power pool belt ;)

Also note that most druids typically have 50% power charge on weapon+shield atleast. But they are on 15min timers.

On separate timers though. Plus then there are potions and crystals (also on separate timers).

But in the end, I agree with you. Sash can be handy. Plus it also has MCL (though it's only 25%). I believe it is much easier to make a better template with that extra 12% power pool than a template that has sash innit. But we all know it isn't that black and white :) Plus, TOYS ARE NICE :D

These days you have to dig quite hard to find good high power pool templates without egg-sash-croc-zo' that don't have resist holes or other serious deficits

You know that's not right - If you have a 10% chance to not lose any power when casting a spell, it doesn't mean that you don't lose power every 10th spell.

On average, yes you do

The /use2 on sash doesn't work for druids, but that's beside the point

We're a bit off-topic now, but did you really mean without those artifacts? I mean it's hard to imagine that they would have stats that are hard to replace. /uses are a different thing ofc.

So /use2 (25% group mcl) really only works on eld/ment/bain/chanter and /use (25 % hp heal) on rest of the classes? Or is there a class that can use both?

EDIT: Oh forgot the range bonus on those arties. I guess that's the only thing in a druid template that might be hard to find somewhere else.

got 20% siphon on my bot and I rarely ever use mcl charges or drop below 70% power with greater power myth and thats with heal spam/spread heal whoring :) in short siphon = rocks (my bot has 31% pp just for the record)

I'm pretty sure I could do better than the one you posted. For example, swap the Warshadow bracer for Springtime Folly one and there are better options for the Qeben ring. Just for starters.

I also agree that few hitpoints don't matter, especially if you have CoZ+CTR combo. You could also consider swapping JC for something else unless you need +range out of it (cba to check again).
i double dare you to try. Springtime folly, sure would be nice but you have to consider alot of things.
Example:
I swap Bracer with springtime folly but it overcaps con by 11 pts so that wastes utl. It also has spirit resists which will then hit cap but i would then have to find 5 body resists in SC and id rather lack 6% spirit and still have 25% than 5 body.

Ml10 legs + Coz only leaves 3 slots left to SC and without Egg you will have to get ML10 legs or drop Qebes ring and get Construct forged, then SC heal bonus that will then overcap and find more dex cap which also will overcap and therefore waste utl.
I could easily drop Qebes ring but then powerpool would be 25% and that would be too low for me. Suggest me any change and i can explain why i havnt used that particular item (cept uber-rogs obviously). As i said, Its the best CoZ BoZ AT JC template outthere (probably the only one as well)

Let's make a bet or something that I can make a better one, some sweet amount of plats or something like that, growing my non-existant epeen is not motivational enough :)

Btw cba to double check but surely you have CTR also in that temp? CoZ+CTR makes hellofa combo.

EDIT: also kinda ironic that you meantion 11 points of con being "wasted util" but still you have 3 all melee skills in ftw ;)

forgot about CTR yes its there. We can bet 100p that you cannot make a better one than this one, but i will require you to dish up 100p if it does not succeed?

What it must require is this: AT, CTR, JC, BoZ and CoZ. And a minimum all stats higher. (89 con, 101 dex, 96 acu, 336 hp 25 26 23 25 25 21 21 26 25 celt racials 29% pp 10/10 spd/range 25% buff/heal).

You say all stats must be higher, yet it has 101 dex, so right there it is not possible, you could be using that as some kind of cunning ploy so he can't win, or i'm just being a dick......:lol:

Huntingtons, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a better template if I would improve just 1 of the stats (assuming rest are the same or above) ?
:)

I'll play around some if it's quiet at work some day. Didn't mean to upset you, was just trying to help more like :cheers: Let's agree that your temp remains da best evah (that includes those arties). :clap:
I'll let you know as soon as I find the time and motivation to load up the calc once again :flame: I have few ideas I want to try atleast. You being so sure, I assume you have put so many hours into it that not sure if I even cba ;)

Yeah it's cooking, with a quick spin I did on my lunch break I see this template in a new light, and gotta admit the most of the items are pretty bound to it. I wasn't able to do any significant improvements.

Well done Huntingtons.:worthy:

Until we find a new piece to the puzzle... :)

Have you tried doing one or are you just waiting for some1 to do one for you? Shouldn't be biggie that one. There are also plenty on vnboards.

If I actually had accepted the bet you think I would already stop trying?)

PS: Even if I could be arsed to walk the walk, proper terms should take place!
