What exactly is the budget, and are you using Miasma as your goal?
To make a Sampire you need to have 120 weapon skill, you can have 115 but need to build to 120 ASAP. To stay alive you need to hit, to hit you need skill, HLD and HCI.
The second half of Sampires is the ability to NOT get hit. DCI, HLA, Feint, Evasion and Parry.
The BARE minimum would be 45 DCI.
*Here's the problem with determining what the budget is. One thing you probably build around is Fey Leggings. Having the 20 DCI is awesome, but the resists aren't that great (50 resist). But more to the point, they sell for 50k on Great Lakes and 3M on Sonoma. Samurai Helm sells for anything between 50k and 1M on Pacific LOL...
