Hi all, my sklad is slowly growing up and having become over 30, i started to try a few templates on the calculator.

My first main goal was capping everything using Coercer Vest, Mail sleeves of retribution and Cloudburst.

Sadly i understood that the effort to do that is both extremely expensive and, what's even worse, mostly impossible to achieve regarding the finding of the ultra rare/expensive objects needed.

So i thought about a compromise, leaving out 1 of the 3 objects i wanted to use in my tp.

The choice was between leaving out the sleeves of Eternal Retribution and the Cloudburst 2h hammer.

I came up to the following results.

First possibility with Scale of the Coercer and Cloudburst (crafted sleeves): full cap of all stats, resists and hammer/parry; +3 battlesongs.

Second possibility with Scale of the Coercer and Sleeves of E. Retribution (crafted 2H): full cap of all stats, resists and hammer/parry; +5 battlesongs.

Which one would you pick up and why?

Feel free to give me any suggestion about templating a skald

Thanks.

I would pick neither of the two suggested.

Here is why.

Uthgard reprocs are especially bugged, so your average return per proc on the Coercer would be 49 hp, if not resisted!
Even a crafted ablative reproc would beat that, not to speak of Hauberk of Valhalla (dragon torso, 150 abl).

A proc would also break your snares.

So personally I would go for Cloudburst with a mirrored crafted 2h hammer with dd proc to use after the dq procs.
After that you need a shield and quick 1h as well.
Then you would want a studded template to switch in vs thrust users, based on Adamantine Barrier and the Twilight Sleeves.

So what you have to pick from is this:
Chain: 150 abl torso, heal reproc sleeves, 150 abl helm, 150 abl boots.
Studded: heal reproc torso, heal reproc sleeves, 150 abl helm.

You can doubtfully manage all, but Cloudburst, chain heal sleeves, studded heal torso and sleeves is something you would want to have.
Then the remaining question is, do you feel the need for a 1min RUT dd item to be in the template or not.

Thanks for the answer!

I always desired having a toon with that Vest (Coercer), probably for this reason i wanted to use it at all cost. But i know you are right, i will remove it from my head and go for the uber abla reproc.

Cloudburst crafted clone and fast 1h+shield were already planned, what i didn't plan is a second studded suite. It won't be that easy to have one working with the same magic objects of the chain one, but i'll try to follow your advice.

Think that the chain dragon boots will be very hard to utilize, but what i've never seen is this chain mp helm proccing abla, can you tell me its name? I can't see it actually on the market.

Since i'm not that expert about mid drops, can you please also tell me what objects have a dd with 1 min RUT?
Frankly i thought i wanted to use befana seal for 1500 dot, i'm sure there is a lot of room for such effect even on a toon having insta mez and snare, but since i don't wanna spend 500P for the tp, i'll have to leave something out if having both effects on drops force me to use ultra expensive stuff! If i cannot have 1500 dd and 1500 dot coming from drops, might eventually go for craft dd on gloves.

What can you tell me about Battlesongs? Only effect is that every +1 bonus gives a +1 dmg on shouts?


EDIT: lol, i always forget what you already taught me in the past. i can trigger charges on objects equipped and not wielded (like i already do on my hunter). The dd charges will go on the shield

There is a bracer with 1min reuse DD charge, but it's quite low utility(Rigid wight claw), so making all cap skald temp ain't easy with it, unless you have mega expensive items(2 of churiel items at least + other high utility jewelry). As far as I know, there is no such thing as a 150 ablative helm on Midgard. There is the dragon vest and dragon boots with 150 abla, that's all I know that exists from chain gear, I've sold you the vest already anyway, and you are right...utilizing boots is nearly impossible cause they give + piety .

Yep, the stats on that bracer are shocking , that's why at first i didn't insert it in my personal mid objects db.
Now it is there, in the remote event one day i'll have to template a class easy to cap.

As always you are my rescuer
