Valk solo template (1.85patch version)

[Nuxtobatns]

I been seeing some Valk templates around so i guess peeps may want to have a look on a Valk template that can bring out all a valk has to offer while solo.
This is a FREE MAIN hand template, with a perfect 2h swap.
The 'trick' lies in the fact that the template offers 25% DEBUFF bonus. This bonus makes it possible to dex/qui shear a capped buffed opponent with the 27lv dex/qui shear (blue one)...which is also atm on a 1min timer (as opposed to the lv37 one that is on a 5min one). This little 'trick' allows the player to spec for a quite fotm solo spec : 50sword/42shield/27odins will/22mend/18parry. OFC...all skills r +11 and a slamfriendly shield has been chosen for the job.
I did the crafted part SC on one shot...so there is always the possibility to be able to give a even better boost (prolly resist-wise,or maybe more piety if any1 thinks he really needs).

[Lethul]

valk need template to solo in 1.85?

 

[vavires]

As far as i know nothing changed much with 1.85 that i see in ure template, what is the ranged you got, and did you added those points??

Also, i really not gone fuss bout 25% bb or not, u dont really need the dex/quick shear, as im not speccing so high odins anyway. I stay with my 35mend.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

Da... the "ranged part' r the 5th slot bonuses for the crafted parts...

 

[vavires]

Yes ok, but what use is it? a ranged item doesn teffect it untill equiped, kinda fucked up ure temp now.

 

[crispy]

I thought about the 25% debuff bonus, but i never checked it >_<

Next temp of mine is gonna contain it! 1 min d/q shear will rox the box. Only problem is that it will still get resisted quite alot.

 

[Ceiastae]

Resists are crap xD and 11 parry is not a must ^^

 

[crispy]

For solo resists are fine. Add +10 cl resists. Vs. Leggies full heat for example will still be debuffed to around 0. You will be cannonfodder for VE vamps tho

 

[kolomparas]

Vav...shake your head m8..and think it over.

Resists r pretty fine tbh. Only resist some1 could claim to be low would be Body...but valk and can use the warlord ability for dots. Also..SoK gives many resists if some1 wants to use it. Or maybe even a LW with anything u may need capped for a given time.
In addition...having 20+cold,heat,body is almost the same as keeping them capped (from experience)...So..maybe u 'loose' 3-5% ... but this wont matter that much.
And parry +11 is a MUST for solo.
Btw...we tested a bit the resist rate...was about 30% without MoF.

 

[crispy]

Did you also test it and compare to the lvl 37 spell? Pretty curious.

 

[Zoia]

Yes ok, but what use is it? a ranged item doesn teffect it untill equiped, kinda fucked up ure temp now.

In 1.85 we get new crafted armour. You can choose between sleeves with either 40 hit cap or 5% healing effectiveness, etc. That's in addition to the normal 4 SCable slots.

He just put the bonuses on the ranged slot, cause the SC calc don't have it on the crafted parts.


I personally think the resists are too low, but i guess people can change with the +parry if they want to.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

Did you also test it and compare to the lvl 37 spell? Pretty curious.

Lv37 rarely gets resisted, truth be told. But if u try and balance things out for the life of a soloer... the spec potential is gr8...template otherwise seems pretty ok...its is free weap too... and u get full effectiveness OW and Mend lines. (and u can always get MoF1-3)
