there are 0.5 + 1.0 imbuepoints left and im missing some 1% res.

any ideas how to improve it(w/o rising costs)?

I've never played a caster but one thing I seen that is not good is "0 Power". That would be like "0 HP's" for a tank. You really need to get the power up to cap as a caster as mana management is the biggest factor on a caster.

thats not true. if u cap power in your template, u get +26 powerPOINTs. now that is the cost of the smallest baseline heal. it doesnt really make a difference. its a cheap, solid, fast achievable temp, go for it mr atum

Mark my words, there will come a time this "caster" is fighting a player and he will be 1 hit away from dying and he will be just shy of having enough power to finish the player he is fighting off. When that happens he will have a flashback and remember this post and think, "Damn, I wish I had +26 power on my template..." Every little bit helps bro.

especcialy with the high mana pool here :<

just remember mcl e.g. gives % mana back

powerpoints cost way more imbue points compared to their real-world utility than other stats. since he cant afford a more expensive temp, compromises have to be made. and powerpoints is the first to drop. u can have the same argument with every other stat/resist/hp, just that you get much more for the same imbue points than u would get for powerpoints.

yep

you could also drop 26% slash resi to get 26 manapool =)

of course if it comes down to the wire, just quick cast your spell into negative power

good temp though, shame about the +str and +cha on it.

Lol, listen, I'm just saying that as a caster you would think you would want every lil bit of power you can get. I believe 200 hp's is what you can imbue into armor. What if I posted a cheap tank template and only gave it 150 hps. By your logic, well its only 50 hp's which is like 1 hit from a crappy weapon so whats the point. The point is those little things make a big difference in a neck and neck fight that comes down to the wire. I'm not saying its a must, just pointing out where it was lacking.

BTW, I dont have to play a caster to template one. Casters are usually pretty easy to template as I have helped several casters make their templates.

str is definately not wasted on caster, with all the pots and necklaces you have to lug around, the charisma is wasted stat yeah

Yeah, don't OC your items that much and the SC cost will be a lot cheaper.

Basically you're spending diamonds (which IS a cost) for about the same price or not too much more you can buy some normal template items. Getting the OC down on your SC pieces should save a lot of money.

I just SCed 6 pieces on a template for one of my chars and the cost for SCing was 100g for the ENTIRE thing.

Decent temp, but you might wanna try and tweak it a bit, replacing the skald bracers with twisted darksteel bracers(100-200 gold, 40ish utility and all the utility goes on stuff you need).

Might be different for caster.

Swap bracers to some with more utility, power pool is most underrated stat on Uthgard.
But you can start with your temp for sure.
