As you might notice the things I didn't manage to cap is:

56 hits
Body: 4%
Cold: 4%
Heat: 5%
Energy: 3%
Matter: 14%
Spirit: 21%

Comment away! I'm not that skilled in making up templates hehe

 

[Haldar]

discard unnneeded resists and dex and get more hp/af/str/con

 

[Trylle^nzi]

Thx Haldar, but which are the unneeded resists? spirit and matter?

Hmm, I think the problem is all the +skill gems I have on my parts? They're really making it limited all I could skip was the +7dex gem..

 

[Trylle^nzi]

Okay after some time and a little more research I managed to cap hits and even out energy and heat resists, the result is here:

Simply by skipping Belt of Sun and using Belt of Mischief, which gives me 4 points of Critical Strike free from my parts.

Please help here with comments and thoughts on this! Thanks.

I'm by no means an expert - but your template looks fine tbh.

I've heard some people prioritize the resists like this:-
Body Slash Heat Thrust Crush 26%
Energy 20%
Cold Matter Spirit 14%

If I was really being anal, I'd say cap heat, and sacrifice a bit from either energy cold matter spirit. Cap the heat because you will come across quite a few stealthers who are dual wielding legendary heat weapons, and they hurt when they hit.

But tbh - I think most fights are won on who gets the first hit in or who gets the first stun in or who has purge up.

....or who is more tough, more durable and more defended.

True, I regret over and over again that I made heat DD procs on all my fucking armorparts when I made my sz template. Gonna get AF and melee health buffers on this one!

Thanks for the input guys, might want to sacrifice a bit more energy points into capping heat as Illu said.

 

[Haldar]

got dot proc on armor
ablatives suck with som proc
and af suck coz af charge is always up anyway
