GOV/DOT Template |
08/21/04 6:49 PM |
This template is not quite as strong on resists as the GSV template but it has better extras. This is the one I intend to build.
Because it includes the Golden Spear in the unequipped 2 Hand slot, this template makes use of 7 Artifacts plus Legendary Weapons:
Golden Spear (GS)
Ring of Unyielding Will (RUW)
Ring of Dances (ROD)
Maddening Scalars (MS)
Guard of Valor (GOV)
Gem of Lost Memories (GLM)
Shades of Mist (SOM)
Besides the SC you get (as listed in the following report), you get:
Javelins (GS)
40% Speed debuff/50x3 Heal (RUW)
40 DOT (spirit)/30 Heal PROC (RUW)
Stealth Lore (value 35) (ROD)
Lore Debuff (ROD)
Damage Shield/Return 40% PROC(MS)
Wolf Morph/20 DOT(body)/Disease (MS)
50 AF Debuff/50 Shield PROC (GOV)
40 DOT (body) PROC (GOV)
Recovery (GLM)
Mez BT (GLM)
Stealth Lore (value 22) (SOM)
200 point/100% absorb Ablative PROC (SOM)
65 DOT (energy) 10 CHARGES Cyclone Bracer
150 point/50% absorb Ablative 10 CHARGES Belt of Lightning
17% Melee Speed 10 CHARGES Ring of Thunder
65 point/100% return Lifedrain 10 CHARGES Bracer of Heavenly Bodies
2 X 60 DD/35% debuff (Cold or Heat) PROC Legendary Weapons
Plus the alchemy you put on your Head, Arms, Leggings, and Feet

Major Vulnerabilities:
Spirit: Some alchemy based Procs and Reavers (Unless you are suicidal, you don't attack Reavers solo much anyway.)
Matter: Proc based DOTS - offset by Remedy.
Minor Vulnerabilities:
Cold: Somewhat deceptive because Leather is +10 vs Cold, so we don't face Cold based weapons much. Additionally, bolts using Cold Magic can't hit us while we are in melee. Don't see a problem here.
Energy: I rely on the +5% vs energy for Lurikeens to keep this resist close to max.
DOT Ability:
Placing Matter based reactive DOT on a piece of armor would theoretically allow you to have 4 DOTS hitting enemy at the same time:
Body based DOT poison (57-64, depending on Envenom spec) OR
Follow up Body based Proc DOT (40)
Matter based Reactive DOT (64)
Energy based Charge DOT (65)
Spirit based Proc DOT (40)
You could easily have 3 DOTS going at once without doing anything on your part: Matter based reactive, Body based Proc, and Spirit based Proc.
Not enough free damage for you? Don't forget the proc on the Maddening Scalars which blocks 40% of melee damage you receive for 10 seconds and reflects it back on your opponent!
The 17% melee speed will not stack with a bot buff but will prove exceedingly useful if you LD and end up unbuffed in RVR.
The mix of offensive/defensive capabilities allows you to use the 4 available alchemy slots to make this setup either extraordinary on offense/very good on defense or strong on offense/strong on defense.

RE: GOV/DOT Template |

GoV procs two dot procs, each is 35dmg/tick and they stack with each other and everything else. So its quite possible to have 5-6 dots ticking on someone at a time.
venom poison
GoV one
GoV two
alch reactive
Bleed (if it counts)
RuW
I've been hit by 4 dots at a time, its not very fun. Lucky for me the shade I engaged had been fighting two sb guards. Also all of the times I've had GoV proc on me, its procced both dots at the same time and the AF drain. The AF drain doesn't stack with Cleric AF buff (for all you infs out there stealing nightshade knowledge like me).
I also hope the GS has similar stats as the second legendary weapon, because it would suck to lose 28 dex when you're perfing.
Also, the "defensive proc" from RuW will not stack with the SoM, because you can only have one defensive proc on at a time. Found this out by going into shade form with a cleric heal proc up. You will still get shade form, but the 200% ablative will not work. scalars proc and shades proc will work, never seen a wolf shade though(although that would be awesome), so the shape changes probably won't stack.
Although there is a lot of nastiness in this template, I dunno how it can beat the nastiness battler/malice can dish out. I guess piercer's just have to cope somehow, this is definetly one of the better ways to do it. Victory can be perceived, but it cannot be created. Sun-Tzu The Art of War. |

RE: GOV/DOT Template |

Yes, I have read some literature noting the twin procs on the GOV, but all the Art sites still list it as a single 40 and I don't have it yet so I was just counting on the one until I could confirm otherwise.
Nah - bleeds don't count. If you used DOT weps from Galla and DF you could add more DOTS. But, they don't work into my template at all.
The Golden Spear has 12 Dex and my template is 17 overcap on Dex, so when I switch from LW to GS, I am still 1 over cap on Dex. = )
I don't plan on using the defensive ability on RUW. I use the Spirit DOT Proc. You can't have them both up at the same time.
Battler and Malice are nasty? Hmmm, with Remedy up, I don't seem to notice. = ) Tazilon Midbane, 50 NS RR10 ML10, PNG [Lions of Lamfhota] CANCELLED ACCOUNT due to Mythic's NERFING of Shades in 1.82 |

RE: GOV/DOT Template |

the maximum Af bonus you can have is 25 so your 45 is a huge waste I think....
i might be wrong :) but SC calc says its that way to me |

RE: GOV/DOT Template |

I agree, 45 AF is 20 more than you can use. The overcap stems from the fact almost every good Pierce-friendly, post-TOA item has AF on it. When you do templates for Shades, you seem blessed with an abundance of AF, Crush, Dex, and to a lesser degree, Hits.
It rapidly reaches the point, especially with AF, where you overlook the AF bonus and use items for what they have in addition to AF.
In the case of my overcap on Dex, I planned that into template to allow me to switch to GS without losing wep skill. In the case of every other overcap I have, it is merely a function of the fact I liked other things on the item which caused the overcap.

I'm still not sure on that one.
There is another SC calc out there which says AF cap is 50, further there is a TOA item (some ML .10 encounter) which has an AF bonus of 30 I think (crappy other stats though). Ivia(50) - NS Logres/Hibernia (Europe) - retired - ... or just busy.

BTW, no one, including me, noticed this before, but I accidently included some CON and DEX on my Paidreans. I managed to fix this and only lost 1% Body and 1% Energy, by reworking and getting all my armor to 37.5 gemware.

Ring of the Brute (I think ) has 25AF. I can find out easy enough the next time I am in DAOC as I have items that could give me up to about +60AF in my vault...lol. I'm guessing the calculator that allows +50 has never been updated since Mythic put in limits with one of the post-TOA patches.

Right. Months ago, I saw an item with +60 AF before the ToA bonuses nerf. So the cap might have been > 60 pre cap-increase nerf, I guess. Not sure, though. Ivia(50) - NS Logres/Hibernia (Europe) - retired - ... or just busy.

| I have Guard of Valor. It is indeed two ticks of 40, one on top of another, when it goes off. So it is basically ticking for 80 each time. The AF buff/debuff proc is a separate proc. Either proc has a separate chance of going off when hit. |

GoV AF proc does stack with cleric AF buff. I was mistaken. Gives my inf 735 af which is about 45 off a fully buffed merc's AF. Victory can be perceived, but it cannot be created. Sun-Tzu The Art of War. |

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I see this template as very informative and would like to branch off of it. This is actually a question for Tazilon.
When you said you rearranged all of your Sced pieces to 37.5 gemware so you could get in the con and dex you accidentally placed on paidreans, I couldn't and still can't figure out how you did it so it would be a great help if you could show me
Thanks

Yep...I'm using most of those Arties. I picked my other GOV templaye though becaue of some incapatibilities between the Spirit DOT and SOM (both are classified as defensive procs, so you cant have both up at the same time).
GoLM is priceless when its up and you get to fight a minstrel. Tazilon Midbane, 50 NS RR10 ML10, PNG [Lions of Lamfhota] CANCELLED ACCOUNT due to Mythic's NERFING of Shades in 1.82 |
