Hi ,
I'm making luri shield hero for defensive play and raids. I'm thinking 50 shield, 43 parry , 38 pierce. For RAs MOB5 I assume but not sure if there is a benefit to go MOB3 then do some aug dex (I think for block) and then more MOB. Is toughness, IP etc a need before going to MOB 5?

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks

If you want to do Dragon too some Det wont be bad either, cause of the Stun.

In my opinion passive RAs are most effective when you do them all on the same level, for example:

block3 dex3 should be better than only block4 and no dex and so on.

So I would say go lw1 block3 parry3 dex3 or so its pretty nice for 4l1 (after thid)

And then if you aim for a higher RR go up with one of the passive ones


BUT with my "RvR" Hero (det5 lw1 block3) I can easily Tank every mob!
So make him playable for RvR and PvE imo ^^

Until they fix weaponskill, a luri hero will not block much more effectively than a firby hero.

Can a GM post a response about block rate issues luri vs furbie please?

I don't think so.
The problem is block rate is not reduced by Weponskill, but the block rate is determined by dex. The more dex you have, the more you block.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but block rate is also reduced by level difference.

I could see that.

Digging through old topics on Uthgard there are many view points and tests that come to very different conclusions against yellow con targets ie

Full buffed Kob warrior had a block rate of 62.5%

Others say its 75% .

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how much MoB is needed to make sure I cap my block %.

I think I read on these boards that you can no longer go into Pendragon unless you have a live account, is this accurate?


thanks

Weaponskill not directly
just some examples
But you will block less if a Warrior attacks you (higher damagetable)
you will block less if the target has high stats (str, str+dex/2)

Is there any point in bringing Parry up that high? I thought that Parry capped at 50, and that it was useless to take it past that.

There is no Cap for skill in this line. Therefor you can specc Parry higher than 50 wich will increase the chance to parry even more.

also it sais on live there is 50% cap now not sure it is on uth too

My luri hero is spec like this:
50 shield
50 spear
25 weapon
Rest in parry

About RA's, i would advice you to go deter first.
In BG's like thid, you will really have fun, although you will only get deter4 (30 points needed).
When I began to play RvR50, I rushed deter5, lw1, mob2.
I respec'ed recently to deter4, lw1, mob4 as I play more this toon in pve than pvp atm.
But I think I will go to deter5, mob3, lw1 asap to RvR again, and then, aug dex ^^

Sorry for offtopic and noob question, but with this specc, in RvR you land slam on your opponent, then do dmg with your spear and when the stun wears off you switch to shield+1h and keep on going? Or is the 25 weapon for PvE only?

Depends really. When stun wears off and the target is silly enough to try to run away from you, spam back spear style to hell. If its a tank yer buying time for your support; a caster/support your either killing them or interrruptijg nonstop at least. The weapon spec is only there for when you have to block bot or maintain aggro.
