First) Does +Soulrending do anything worth putting it into a template?

Second) What do you think is better? (group/solo/both?)
50 Flex 42 Shield and..

41 SR 6 Parry
or
36 SR 20 Parry

I figure the 41 Lifetap had better be pretty amazing to sacrifice that much parry, and I would guess that much parry would certainly prevent much more damage than a 30 sec lifetap. But then I haven't every played with both specs.

Third)
At 48 when I'm finally done autotraining, does it matter if I use a full respec or a single?

for grp definetly go 41 sr (the lifetap is rupt not necessarily the high one) but also burst while slam just for the last 3% or when the guardtank suddendly comes and the targets is pretty low just bust it

depends on how you specced if you are clever you only have to respec crush ( single) they are extremly rare though(only bp) and full respecs are cheaper (1.2p?)


for solo specc its a complete diffrent story
i know maelle went like 34 parry with rr6 to get it 50 with comp spec
and low soulrending
or even 50shield for 10s for more levi action

w/e for solo i'm not the right adress ^^

iyes at rr8 i had 32 parry 42 shield 50 flex rest sr ( around 26 or 27 sr if you AT ) was pretty useful for fight ranger / sb / nightshade since parry is really useful for them and when a ns or sb spam viper 3 on your the yellow lifetap will not help you that much.with some rr and moparry 2 or 3 you will parry a lot vs dual wielder

Can you be more specific?

Ups its damage. Expensive to full cap Reaver though.

Sorry I'm so picky
What does it improve specifically?
Lifetap? Proc? Flex styles DDs? Aura?

By how much damage?

Should I cap piety first and then go for SR?

It increases the damage that the Reaver's RR5 ability (Soul Quench) does. The return diminishes over 50 composite SR and, iirc, it is more cost (or in this case, imbue point) effective to cap piety instead of SR.

just dont cap heat and SR and your temp will not be expensive

just don't cap piety and SR.difference of damage with piety cap and sr and without is not that big , you can make a decent template with flex shield parry capped + stats and resist capped with 99% gear and some df jewelry.

Piety helps with power if you tend to use your auras a lot.

my reavertemp atm just don't stand into sm bomb and you should be fine

Thank you all for the information!

Next question: How much Strength does Python debuff, and do you think it's worth using? (assuming the person is attacking you back)

no idea if it works on uth

It works but it's .24 growth rate and high endu usage.

For pve..is purple lifetap or 20 parry more useful?
