Just for the fun of it. I have no idea if this will actually work or not, but to me a stealthed caster is about as fun to me as my idea with my melee wizard(which sadly never happened :(). I'll be specced 20stealth, 18CD, 12pierce and 19env. Idea is to open from range and kite with snare poison/side stun/back snare and start nuking again. Planning on running as lurikeen just get the optimal dex. Using the caster cloth version of the event arms to get better casting stats.

I have a few questions tho:

1) Will this even work?
2) With 20 stealth, do I need +5 stealth or is +4 enough?
3) I've never played a stealther, but I heard that +skill on weapons are a no go?
4) How much am I missing out in melee when I have no +skill?
5) Should I gimp some resists to get some melee +skills?

stealth caps at 24 at thidranki, that's for sure, about the rest, i think +skills gives u some bonus but not huge difference, but u should ask around, or send mail to mythic :)

+ skill on weapons is a must imo.....


i have like +3 cd +2 pierce and some str and dex offhand then like +2cd +3 pierce +str dex MH an spares


that way when u swap weapons in you lose nothing (i play inf so thrust and DW but same diff also means when i use x-bow i don't lose any resits hits ect)

NS nuke does about 20-30 dam in thid to prepare to be oop before they die every time xD

New and improved.. I've tested out all the dragonsworn stuff and with only 19.5 imbue points it will affect lvl 24s. Dunno if I should drop envenom out of the template and put in some melee skills instead and just swap when I reapply?

edit: Oh yeah, as a lurikeen I have +5% crush and +5% energy resists bringing them up to 13% and 12%
