Ideal imbuing plan for this bracelet?

[NObama]

Hello -

As I rework the armor on one of my dexxers, I have crafted the following bracelet:

MR 2
Dex +5

How would you optimize this item for a swords dexxer?  Template is Bush/Chiv/Swords/vamp.  All skills are natural, no need to increase those.  I'm thinking:

MR 2
Dex +8
LMC 8
Hit chance 15
Defense chance 6

Thoughts?

Jewelry is all dependent on the rest of your gear. Without knowing everything you have equipped it's hard to say suggest what route to take.

Dark Sapphire Bracelet is a good call and as I a big fan of squeezing in a little MR where you can, the bracelet is a pretty good spot. There are some numbskulls around over at Stratics who think because they have mana leech on a weapon that MR isn't important. They're under the delusion that leech is somehow guaranteed.  I can't count the number of times where I've biten off more than I can chew and had to run for the hills to save  my life. Had I not any MR it would take me a good deal of time before being able to re-engage. Same goes after dieing....without any MR your sitting on the sidelines for awhile.

I don't advocate throwing stats on Jewelry,especially on a sampire or whammy. There are some situations where it can come in handy but as your default/main gear those points could be spent much wiser imo. There are only a few times I throw on Jewelry that have stats and there usually for templates or gear designed specifically for one task.

Was going to say exactly the same thing.

I wouldn't go lmc, i'd max out your dci and maybe go damage inc. Its too easy to fit 40 lmc on a suit these days. or at least REALLY close.

Exactly...

Two other scenarios that come to mind:
*Glade Spawn Tier 3 I equip a ring and bracelet customized with +8 Int along with a Helm of Insight and RBC. Having upwards of 100 Mana can help with spamming special moves.

* Disco- Archer I use when turning over the Cu Sidhe Spawn I put on 8 dex on the ring and bracelet. As my Archer is in no real danger of absorbing damage it's worth it to try and maintain 180 Stamina.

Plus Skills, DI,HCI,DCI, LMC or Resist I would make sure were all max before throwing on a stat.

Okay, let's start again.

How would you imbue this bracelet if you were COMPLETELY reworking the armor of your Swords Vamp character and you didn't want to use faction arties?

Assume:
- 120 Imbuing avail
- All non-SA artifacts available
- 255 stat cap
- 720 skill points, all used
- primarily using radiant scimitars
- Primarily used to solo mini-champs in UOSA, or work up champ spawns to Champ appearance.

Better?

EDIT:  ARGH!  This suit *really* blows.  I'm using Totem and Jackal's Collar and thus my resists are whacked from the start.  Should I swap totem for mace and shield?  I sort of like the 20 str...

EDIT 2:  BOO!  I just determined that imbuing HPR 1 on a piece of armor then enhancing it with bloodwood does not yield HPR 3.  Fortunately, it only cost me 6 essence and 15 tourmaline to test that theory.  BOO!

I like it better for a pvp piece, especially since it looks like you may not be using all medable armor, but you're probably going to keep it on a pvm'er anyway so I would imbue it like so:

MR 2
Dex 7
HCI 15
DCI 10
DI 25

Thanks, Wilk.  I was wondering if DI would be useful...still torn.
