Problem with that temp is the lack of SoM. Also is that necky a rog?

Nice temp otherwise.

necky is from a non farmable mob in ml 2 and som on a merc is a waste as it has low utility and there are far better cloaks out there.

such has harpy, FW, AS (7.10 cloak)

Im mostly using it due to the 5% melee speed so I cap it well easy. THen I can use high UV items that lacks +melee speed and such

Also my Lil Briton will OWN with the oped SOM charge :p

The necky isn't a rog, it drops on ml2 or 3. That's the only hard-ish item in the temp.

Agree to Martok here. I wouldn't mind using an arti over another item for the charge, but SoM has _very_ low utility compared to other cloaks.

SoM /use2 is nice....but i dont see the problem in having a level 10 SoM, equiping it to fire charge and then putting your sc cloak back on? Works for me.
Very solid template Chimaira. There are some very nice ones on VN for brit mercs, but im guessing you have seen them :).

well since its mainly nuker's pwning all day and not that may tank assist trains on the mers till your surport is dead its pointless unless you solo.

also swapping arti's on for charge and out again no longer works need to have arti equiped for 15 min before you can fire it so you fire it do a 10 min run wait 15 min because youve equiped it again and use it run repeat as they fixed the arti swaping crap ages ago.

Still my personal favorite. I made and have seen better templates stat-wise, but this one is rather cheap/easy to get compared to how well it does.

Not bad template, but why not drop the 5% spirit and increase 5% crush instead? :)

Not one mob, unfortunately, which is the reason it's rather rare (or at least hard to find, as some seem to think it's a rog :p)
As far as I know, it drops from random mobs, rather than named.

Thought that got fixed, that you can't switch arti's any more?

Like Martok said, it's not the tanks causing me trouble (unless soloing, which is rare), but the casters, against som will not help me.

You get 10% crush resist from chain, and 31% would be enough for me, and I wouldn't mind spirit resist in case sm's go aoe mode again.

Think I might go with the Chims template since BoS and Terkari belt should be easy enough to acquire (farm). Seems like a decent cheap template. Now I just have to farm items to fund the MP chain :p
