Good catch, the rest stands true, and there are other important benefits from Bush like Confidence and Lightning Strike.

[manwinc]

You can evade, but its basically worthless. You will evade 1 in 20 shots lol.

[asmodeus0321]

as of right now i am
120 weapon skill
120 bushido
120 tactics
110 parry
100 necro

all 70's with 70 dci 40hci max dm with eoo no slayer weapon should i use 1 handed or 2 handed weapon and if a 1 handed weapon should i use a shield or not? and if not is there a reason why other then chugging pots

[Cerveza]

Here's a script to tell if you should use a shield or not.

Code: [Select]

chooseSkill bush
if #skill > 0
{
display ok You have Bushido$DO NOT USE A SHIELD
halt
}
display ok You don't appear to have Bushido$Feel free to use a shield
halt
120 Bushido + 110 Parry
= 5% Chance to block WITH shield
= 32% Chance to block WITHOUT shield using 1-handed weapon
= 37% Chance to block WITHOUT shield using 2-handed weapon

[angel of darkness]

my wammie is
120 swords which i love with a soul seeker for champ spawns for the whirlwhind attack
120 tactics
120 bushido
120 ss
120 anatomy
70 chiv
50 necro

i have tryed parry, but i get killed every time i do DH, but when i switched it out with anatomy i can kill him in a breeze
what is parry good for on a wammie

[asmodeus0321]

sweet thanks i didn't know a shield dropped my block rating that much, what good is parry then. should i switch parry for something else? anatomy would be the only thing i can think of since it would increase my damage for more life leech.

[Cerveza]

Parry is the ability to completely block attacks. Without it you will be hit more. Bushido can't parry blows UNLESS you have the parry skill in addition to the bushido skill, and then you use weapons to parry NOT shields.

If you can reclaim enough damage with anatomy to overcome the damage you avoid with parry, then it may be worth it to drop parry.

Ok...   Question about The Suits people are wearing on their Sampires...   I realize that the BEST suit imo would be Heartwood enhanced woodland suit, but seeing as I don't have THAT much time to put into burning my imbuing ingredients I was wondering about other options.   Specifically.....   If you had access to

(Assume you have access to Faction Gear)

Turquoise Ring
Basilisk Hide Breastplate
Animated legs of the Insane Tinker

Which pieces would you include or not   & why?

Also... Currently the skill set I'm probably going to go with is..

120 Swords / Bush / Parry / Resist -- 100 Tac / necro -- 70 Chiv = 750 Skillpoints (so +30 Skillpoints on the jewelry OR possibly Capt. Johns Hat w/ +10 Skill pts on Jewels)

[M.Seven]

Weapon 120
Tactics 120
Anatomy 120
Bushido 120
Parrying 60
Chivalry 75
Necromancy 99

[_C2_]

anyone want to share their base stats and then what buffs they get from gear for their end balance

[Kalaka]

Sure. I use faction items and this exact setup. I have a noob account, so that's some of the +skill.

Faction Primer, Faction Folded, Faction Cincture.
Gloves: HPI 5, Stam 8, Mana 5, LMC 8, 10/19/14/9/9
Arms: Mana 8, LMC 8, 15/15/11/12/16
Tunic: NS, HPI 5, Mana 5, LMC 8, 9/19/11/9/13
Gorget: HPI 5, Stam 8, Mana 5, LMC 8, 6/13/9/12/17
Ring: 15 HCI, 15 DCI, 15 DI, 50 EP
Bracelet(debating): Chiv 9, Bushido 15, Parry 5, 15 HCI, DI 25
Boots: +4 Int

Comes out to 100 DI, 43 HCI, 45 DCI, LMC 40, 70/95/70/70/70, HPI 25, Stam 24, Mana 28, EP 50, 9 STR, 10 Dex, 4 INT

Base stats of 100 Str, 120 Dex, 35 INT. I chug pots so finish with items + pots at around 140, 150, 35, with HP/Stam/Mana being 145, 174, and 67.

Skills:
Anat 90, Parry 45(+5), Healing 90, Tactics 90, Mace 120, Necro 99, Chiv 61(+9), and Bush 105(+15)

I use diamond maces for weps, so I can chug and do good damage. Have debated dropping healing for a raise in parry and other skills, as 60 parry gives you 20 block, I believe ~86 is 30%.. but I play in groups and having the xheals from bandages does help.

Nobody should underestimate the impact lower amounts of parry have in both blocking, and evasion. The more you block and reduce damage, stronger your temp is.

[Kalaka]

If you have FC/FCR.. mirror images are also exceptionally strong vs any nonmagic style damage dealer.

[Coolface]

Nice armor Kalaka.
Im still trying to make mine im not going to use faction items and im poor.
I have RBC, fey leggings, primer, quiver of inf and mace & shield.
Im trying to make make woodland gorget, sleevs and gloves
5% hci, 5hpi, 8 stamina inc 7% lmc and 2 imbued resists
Ring & Brace hci, dci, str,dex, fire res and DI

im elf so 10 int is enough with rbc (40mana)
atm
STR 105->126 HP 129
DEX 125->145 ST 161
INT   10->10   MA  40
HCI 30%
DCI 55%
DI with wep 100%

I use leafblade for Feint and AI and Kama for whirlwind

Just while a go I got 120 fencing so I havent killed any peerles yet and I was wondering could I kill medusa, proxy or DH with that gear.

[Sulter]

What about droping SS and Parry and adding 120 music and 120 disco

[Coolface]

hmm i would drop bushido for disco and music rather than parry. Shield would give few free mods for ring and brace for skills.
