Thanks. I'll add that to my list in the CLAw.

[Nicar]

my quest is to find a ring with 35-40 DI, DCI, HCI and fire resist! Now, that would be sweet. Best was that ring I listed with 36 DI..

[12TimesOver]

I thought the maximum DI on a piece of jewelry was 20?

looks like the max is 45%

DI = Damage Increase, not Defense Chance Increase

Also, I'm referring to the max on a single piece of jewelry rather than the total max across a whole suit. Specifically, how does one get 36 DI on a ring?

Oh, and I meant that I thought the cap on jewelry was 25, not 20...

I believe its a turqoise ring if im right, they can stack DI.

As Pearls said, Turquoise Ring and it can stack. 15 DI for Turquoise and then it can stack up to another 25. The one that I have is Str 1 Dex 5 Luck 11 and DI 36. I go through too much turquoise, I just wish the SSI and DI could both hit, that's be sweet to get SSI 5 and DI 40 on a ring, but, I guess SSI 5, DI 25 and other mods would be nice too.

No *bleep*?!?!? I really need to pay more attention in class, I never even looked into doing anything with my gems from mining other than selling Ecru's, I guess I better start making some rings!!

It caps at 45.

Load up to 45 DCI and you should see a HUGE different in combating monsters.

Again, just so you know, the USABLE cap is 45. You can go over this, so if you get hit by a "Lower Defense" you won't be hurt as much.

[Pearls]

Anyone know if monsters HLD u?

[Ultima]

I have a hard enough time loading up to 45. Being that I prefer the Soulseeker.

Cerveza have you solo'd Paroxymus? If so what tactics & strategies did you employ?

[Ultima]

Wewp

Just went back to Paroxymus and it was a piece of cake this time. I put my pride aside and decided to take a step back when the RNG wasn't in being so kind.  He has 60 poison special attack that you must be able to absorb or your in for a dirt nap. It's pretty random. I retreated a few times and healed up when I got dangerously low on health. The Demon Prince is  now a breeze.

Being a sampire I've trained myself not to retreat when low on health because that's usually when you die.  Paroxymus is so slow that you can run circles around him and your really not in harms way.

I didn't have to modify my template for this peerless. Fun stuff!

[12TimesOver]

Man I REALLY need to get mine finished! I am dying to start doing peerless solo! I need 120 scrolls since I'm only 115's, and better armor (need the ingredients for the Darkwood set but, of course, I need to do peerless to get the ingredients LOL). I guess I know what to work on this weekend.

I am torn between the templates though, I think I'm going to switch over to:

120 Swords
120 Bushido
120 Parry
120 Tactics
100 Spirit Speak
80 Chivalry
60 Necro

And go with the Wraith/Curse Weapon thing. I'm assuming Elf for the higher Mana, etc. I guess I'll have to start putting together my gold coins...

120 Swords
120 Bushido
120 Parry
120 Tactics
100 Spirit Speak
80 Chivalry
60 Necro

Second Template I see that would go with Parry over Anatomy.
I thought anatomy would help with extra damage?
then gain like you guys said depends on what your fighting I guess.

[OMGBurgers]

I have no anatomy and I haven't found a sampire who can kill DH faster than me
