Hi Guys,

I am re-working my Skald Solo template.

I am 5L and I wanted to look for new template.

At the moment I am 50Hammer – 43 BS – 4 Parry what is pretty bad I think.

I am looking more for
44 Hammer – 46 BS – 17 Parry.

Or

44 Hammer - 44 BS - 21 Parry



My RA:

LW 1
First Aid 2
Purge
IP
MoP 2

Also my proc are all ablative on my armor.

Do you think I need to change few of them ? What do you recon guys?

Thanks for your time.

Here is the template I came up with post RR5. There are better temps, but Dragon items are tough to come by these days, so I had to sacrifice a bit of dexterity. This is for a Norse Skald btw, so I abuse Racial Resists a bit to round it out.

I haven't actually crafted this one myself yet. I need the armor still ^^. Hard to farm as Skald

When u play Solo Skald, i wouldnt take DoT Procs or Reactives. When a Enemy is DoT'ed, u cant Mezz anymore cause it get breaked.
I was using 2x 1h Hammer, one with DoT, other with Haste Proc. On my 2h Weapon are a simple DD Proc.
On Armor 5x Ablative and 1x DD Charges with 1500 range (so no Fire) on Feets.

Don't wanna post my Template, but it is really Cheap, dont need any MP at all.
Not perfect, but a good start i guess.

sry for a little OT but pls can you change the Quality from 99 to 100 when you post your Loki files. In the past I had a bunch of Customer, comming with links from Forum and 99 Quali items on 37.5 imbue because they didnt know that you need MP and just follow the Posts here.

thx

Lol, no.

People have to learn sometime.

Hi Bruts,

For weapons, Yes, a DoT wont allow you to mezz, but I personally love having a DoT proc on my two hand hammer. One proc will do way more damage than a DD, and if you are soloing, then you will need this damage versus stealthers as they tend to evade quite a bit, so your hammer damage will suffer slightly. I mean this to say, as a solo Skald, if you aren't doing damage, you're dying

With regards to Alchemy, to each their own. I have ablative on my chest and legs, but reactive DDs on the rest, and a dot on my foots

Again i need to be able to do lots of damage, and if a stealther procs two of my armor pieces in fight, that is an extra 200 roughly damage that I am doing. Skalds lack the hp pool in my opinion to have ablatives on every piece. That is why I have two MHB, and damage with the remaining. I wanted to have a good balance.

Just food for thought! Let me know what you think, and i'll see you on the battlefield ^_^

Cheers
