Hello fellow Gaheris members, I've been away from the game on vacation for over a year now and am looking to get my Armsman Template Up to date so to speak. I'll post what I have on at the moment and if anyone can help boost a stat higher then what mine is currently along with some explanation as to why they changed that particular item would be so much appreciated. I will even go as far as to offer Dread Seals, Dragon Scales, or that rare particular item that you might seek I'm sure I have, and will part with for this information if necessary. I only offer "stuff" because I am fully aware of how hard sometimes it can be to make the perfect template for a toon you might not have yourself. And time isn't free and I realize that so here goes.

Info about my character, to make your templates better for him is as follows

Armsman-Thorious, RR12, ML10, CL10

The type of template I seek is this: I want to be able to tank with a ton of hit points, Block almost 100 hits out of 100 while guarding a caster as such, and yet even be able to solo red to purple mobs on my own with only my personal buffs, not running a bot.

So far my realm ranks are as follows: If you can make them better please post here, all info is welcomed

Augmented Str 9
Augmented Dex 3
Augmented Con 9
Toughness 9
Mastery of Blocking 9

Slash and Shield are both 50+22
And Parry is 31+22

My current stats with out my personal buffs are as follows:

Weaponskill - 1690
Weapondamage- 1650
Hitpoints - 3132
Armorfactor 749
Str - 274
Dex - 183
Con - 253
Qui - 122

Resists
Thrust 16%
Crush 33%
Slash 24%
Heat 6%
Cold 14%
Matter 0
Energy 0
Spirit 4%
Body 0

Armor Template as of now:
Chest - Guard of Valor - 40Hits, 18STR, 15Dex, Str cap 5, Dex cap 5, Melee damage 4%, Style damage 4%
Arms - Arcanium Smoldering Vambraces- 22 Str, 2 to all melee, Con 22, Parry 3, Crush 6%, Slash 6%

Shield - Arcanium Magma infused defender - Sheild 5, dex 15, all melee 3, heat 6%, AF bonus 10


That should be everything I am wearing at this moment, I switch out Elemental damage dealing weapons when on raids but that's a no brainier, and use a stardrop before I self buff to help with that as well. So yeah if anyone can help out, I would be immensely grateful and rewarding if it comes to that just lemme know

One sure thing your gonna want to do is add +blocking% to your template, im about to head to work but when i get back tonight i can help you out with a better template.

Would It be as easy as just replacing my Magma shield with this one http://camelot.allakhazam.com/item.html?citem=26753 Its the Apoc Shield dropped in NF, has the 10% Blocking and stuff, but here's the thing, I have no issue using a rare item, when it comes to the items that don't matter when there con gets to 70 and you can leave them be, but with shields they will need to be replaced, so at this time how rare is this Apoc shield? I would have to make sure it can be replaced every time the dur hits 0.

Edit: Or possibly this one? http://camelot.allakhazam.com/item.html?citem=27148

Baldur's Fortification is medium so you don't want that. If the issue is con (and unless you are lucky with apoc shields or don't play your blocker often it usually is) you could go with 2 of these:

http://camelot.allakhazam.com/item.html?citem=21755

And then go with either a crafted shield or a large shield dropped by any dragon. The pro is you have perma 10% to parry and block %, the cons are those rings have less than desirable utility, and they are a time consuming pain to farm because they rarely drop

The Sentient Tower Shield from Vanjorndor is a good alternative choice because you can solo that mob with a friar or valk, but it is also a rare drop and you have to deal with respawn time to boot. Also, no bonus to parry %

Just comes to which seems the most desirable course of action

 

-----signature-----

Answer: One of the hardest / most sought after on the server.

I've never actually bought/sold one, but I've heard of prices above 200 plats quoted.

Solid Arms temp. Only drawback is Apoc. You'll have to get lucky or drop about 400-1k seals/plat to get one of them.

Apoc is not easily replaced or gotten in the first place, id avoid templates with it in it, but if u wanna go for it i can give u a very nice temp. That said i would try and stick with a temp that has one of the following: Crafted shield, dragon weapon quest shield (don't lose dur) or shield of lifeless dreams (doesnt have 10% block but will make you only have to put in one peice of jewelry with block % instead of two like with the crafted or dragon shield).


Hit me up in game or here if you have questions or need help. Look for sheb in the guild Hammer

Just noticed this thread.


Darkfury, you still around bud?

(or has anybody seen his toons online?)

If you're going to be solo a lot, you want survivability. The procs from slayer armor and Sidi BP definitely help a lot. This template uses Fine Steel Long Sword and Gloom Warder spear for the celerity proc, which will help immensely when killing things solo, or to help hold agro while tanking. It's missing 15 dex and 1 shield skill, but the difference is negligable. My Paladin has a similar template, and I find her to be the best blocker I have, even with those 2 slight missing numbers.
