I've now designed a "ok" Reaver template with ToA items/artifacts and i think i've done a pretty good job, only thing not 100% capped is Hits and energy resistance but only by a minor amount. I put in no Piety reason for this is that it's just not possible imo to get everything i want and include piety too i hope i am proven wrong by someone else?

This is what im gonna use, not much +cap for stats/hits, but i think it's pretty good.. 10% haste and all stats capped, with decent resist, good enough for me :)

Although the recent change has brought the snakecharmer's whip from 4.0sec to 3.5sec it's still too slow for me, i like my whips to be as fast as possible therefore a 3.0spd whip is essential+i want a haste proc on my whip. Snakecharmer's proc sounds great with a lifetap/end/power proc built in, but i'm always using end regen and power potions anyway and my standard lifetap gets me to 100% HP.

GL leveling all those artifacts imo xD
I'm not really bothered how long they take, as long as i get it done eventually i'll be happy :) also 1.68 has RvR leveling for all artifacts (although it's slow).

Well, if you play in groups that have theurgists it is not that hard to cap speed even for 3.5spd weapon. And with 63 utility and some melee speed and damage bonuses the Snakecharmer is one of the best artifacts around ;)

This isn't very good for reaver the level 5 ability overwrites our lifetap offensive proc :(

Very rare to find a thurg+reaver in the same group in RvR o_O.

To fit in 1 whip which has good stats i won't gimp my entire set. The snakecharmer's whip would overcap alot of already overcapped resists.

Yup, but Kort's SC calc don't let you enter the restrictions, it's only 2% anyway and melee damage bonus isn't very useful for reaver as our damage is in proc's :)

I agree with that, it is so hard to make a good template with lots of items having the same resists :(

Yes, that's the worst one. Imho, items should have some useful stats too instead of everything having loads of resists....

So why would you use it? It's a very poor jewel.

One big concern that I would have with this template is the 0 pie.

If you are unsure of just how powerful +pie is then try it out on a mob. Strip all you pie gear and try the lifetap. Then try again with maxed pie. It makes a serious difference.

The nice thing about ToA is that the perfect template is well nigh impossible. This is a good thing imo. You can't cap everything, but having +0 to Piety for a Reaver just doesn't make sense to me. But that is just my opinion.

It fits in well and it has a Hits cap increase.

Piety is important, STR/DEX/QUI/CON/resists/hits are more important.

Also for everyone that is criticising the template i'd appreciate some useful help in improving it? Not just saying what sucks but actually some help in improving it as i have seen only 1 person post their template upto now.
