Resisting Magical Spells

cadethepagan · 10th August 2007, 04:06 PM

Ok I've heard a lot about how resist is now broken up into elemental categories and such that depends upon your items with that particular resist. I have the skill "resisting magical spells" is this skill broken and I should rid my self of it and train a new skill? Or is this skill still useful and is actually helping me in resisting magical spells thrown my way?

Spell is still useful with the right build I believe although many dump it for taking other skills to 120.

My skills are
120 fencing
100 Archery
100 Healing
100 Focus
100 tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Resisting Magic Spells

Anything I should drop or what?

what is primary char focus pvp or pvm?

cadethepagan · 10th August 2007, 07:49 PM

well i use to pvp heavily but changed to pvm and left my skills as they were.

Why do you have 2 weapon skills? I would drop one of them.
I would either:

A) Drop Fencing and add either bushido, ninjitsu, or chivalry (making a solid archer)
or
B) Drop Archery and add parry (making a tough fencer)

If you are playing pvm only, I would personally drop resist spells in favor of one of the other skills mentioned as well. But if you PVP resist spells is good to have.

Oh I just noticed you are 120 fencing.
So I would stick to fencing. I have a similar template.

120 swords
100 tactics
100 anatomy
100 healing
100 parry
100 bushido
80 chivalry

This guy is pretty solid. Can solo most mobs easily.
-obviously you would use fencing instead of swords
-I have bushido for evasion (instead of resist spells)
-I have chivalry instead of focus (devine fury regens stamina plus the chivalry gives damage mods with consecrate weapon and enemy of one.. then I use a mana leach weapon)

Just my thoughts

I have two weapons skills because I use them both. I am the ultimate pvp no one can stop me. Anyway Im too attached to being able to paralize a moster and run in and do a second sepcial move when they cant move. I may drop spell resist but I don't want chivalry since its over used and for weenies. My healing works fine for me I heal myself in 4 seconds. Im thinking of maby ninjitsu.

Ninjitsu just got nerfed in the latest publish. Might want to re-think that choice.
