I'm working on improving my template. I'm not super high in any one thing. I don't pvp. But in any case here are my bare stats without armor.

68.7 Chivalry
98.9 Focus
12.7 Healing (raising)
71.5 Meditation (should i lower this or lower focus?)
28.4 Resisting Spells
87.7 Parrying
78.9 Swordsmanship
77.2 Tactics
73.1 Inscription (only have it to make marks for vendor will be giving it to different char to free up room)
72.5 Anatomy

Strength 79
Dexterity 67
Intelligence 84

I also need input on what sort of stats to look for on my gear. Currently i just have high physical resist, DCI, HP increase, Mana increase, Mana regen, Stam increase, and some luck. Really its very mix and matched.

Any input would be helpful.

Given what you have already started, I personally would go with:

Chivalry
Swords
Anatomy
Healing
Tactics
Parry
Resist

Knowing your skill cap would be 700, I would aim for 110 in swords, parry and resist, 70 in Chiv, and 100 in the rest. I know it is basic, but it is a good warrior starter template. Get your Dex and Str up, and lower your Int. Chiv uses mana, but with a good mana leech weapon, you will gain it back quickly without using points in Meditation. Focus is unnecessary, in my opinion, due to the Divine Fury spell in Chivalry, which replenishes your lost stamina. Drop Inscription, Meditation, and Focus altogether.

With items, you can get your stats up pretty high: aim for over 100 in each of Strength and Dex. Others will know more precisely what your stats should be.

In your armor, I would look for resists (as close to 70's as you can afford), DCI (up to 45% max, I think), HP regen (18 is cap I think?). After that, I would look for the HP increase, and maybe mana regen.

This is just one player's view, though, so maybe take a look at the warrior skills threads also, and glean some insight there!

Good luck, and happy hunting!

That is more of a pvp style weapon than a pvm weapon. Since you are not carrying any meditation or focus, you REALLY want a weapon with high leeches (mana, life, stamina...probably in that order) to replenish your reserves. I'd save that one for later, perhaps when you go to fel and want a little offensive type weapon in your pack. Personally, for a pvm dexxer, I find the Soulseeker to be a very nice all around sword....good leeches and good performance.

No pvp = no need for Magic Resist.

Seriously, there is nothing that an orange petal, a potion and a fast horse can't save you from in PvM.
