115 or 120 for Bushido and Parry

I am training a Sampy atm (bushido dexx with a necroform i believe).

I am wondering if its rly worth it to get the extra +5skillpoints in parry and bushido.
I know for some skills its definitely worth it to get the 120 (i.e. magery 100% succesrate on 8th spells, 120 taming is nice for extra stableslots and easier to tame those rare hued pets u come accros). But how about bushido and parry? They u get any extra bonusses for having 120? And if so are they worth for to buy?

My template:

115 swords
115-120 bushido
115-120 parry
76 chival
50 necro (Midnight + jewels for vamp)
1xx tactics
1xx anat

I dunno what to do with the last 100 skillpoints, so i will dumb the rest of the remaining points in anat.

I copy pasted the following from another post, got no reply on this yet:

I was thinking:
- Spirit of the totem
- jackals collar
- stormgrip
- ring of the vile (is this a good ring?)

cant think of any other good arti, maybe i missed something?

I like solo play, and would like to solo maybe peerless bosses or something, maybe a DF;p. Am not counting on it tho, but it would be nice to be able to solo other easier Big monsters.

edit:
how are these weapons

exceptional
weight: 12 stones
hit mana leech 57%
swing speed increase 25%
damage increase 39%
Cold Resist 13%
physical damage 100%
weapon damage 18 - 20
weapon speed 3.5s
strength requirement 45
two-handed weapon
skill required: swordsmanship
durability 72 / 72

this one has no lifeleech.

And how is Soulseeker?


Ok to sum it up:
- Should i use wraithform or Vamp. form in PvM? Depends on the situation i guess?
- I've seen many weapons with Mana leech, but bot with both. Is Soul Seeker a good weapon for general use?
- Totem vs Mace and shield reading Glasses, which one is better?
Thank you in advance!

Re: 115 or 120 for Bushido and Parry

I'd say it's worth it to get the 120 bushido at least. It will enhance both your samurai abilities as well as your parry chance. Namely give you a better chance of critical hits with Lightning Strike (I think also longer duration for evasion?).

120 parry on the other hand will only increase your parry chance, which is good of course, but if you'd only get one of the two, then go with bushido.

Re: 115 or 120 for Bushido and Parry

If you can afford it, go with the 120s. It is only a few percent defense, but over time, it really adds up.

At the end of everything you can have:
120 swords
120 parry
120 bushido
120 tactics
120 anatomy or 120 resist
and the rest split between chivalry and necromancy.

Until you get the extra points, you can split the rest between chivalry, necromancy and focus.

Edit to answer the quoted questions:
The weapon is very good. I use the same except my swing speed is only 20%.
Soul seeker is probably the best affordable weapon in the game. With both mana and stamina leech, if you can get good damage increase jewelery and damage increase gloves (like stormgrip), then you'll be hitting almost as hard as someone with the 10 million gold uber weapon.

Both wraith form and vamp form are powerful, but with the template you have and the template I suggested, wraith form isn't an option. You need spirit speak to make the wraith leeches work well.

Spirit of totem or mace and shield is a tough choice for some, and depends on the rest of your suit. For me it was a no-brainer in favor of mace and shield. I LOOOOVE hit lower defense.

And for the rest of your suit, think about having defense chance increase. With 45% DCI, you can do a whole heckuvalot more than with no DCI, no matter what your template is. That's why my samurai's suit includes fey leggings and heart of the lion as well as the quiver of infinity. Your suit has endless possible combinations, and really depends on what you can find or buy first. I built my suit around the fey leggings/HoL/Mace and shield combination.
