The last time I updated my PvM gear was pre-aos, needless to say the monsters are usually far too dangerous for me to battle, however I LOVE soloing them.

I have just gotten the taste for killing monsters again. I mainly stick to the anti-virtue dungeons I already know killing ele's and mad wizards. I have limited gold. I can get together a million or so with a week of work.

I have these skills :

Fencing (115)
Necro (85ish)
Sprit Speak (90's)
Hide (100)
Stealth (90's)
Ninjutsu (purely for the bombs, stuck at 50)
Meditation (80's least prioritized)
Poison (85ish)

(I know the template is not the best, it is what I have in my mind as a "fun" one. Also have a pure paladin, with 4 healing possibilities. He isn't nearly as diverse, but he is much better at healing himself)


So, I beg you reader, illuminate me.

Does anyone have suggestions in what armour I might attempt to hunt down? (I prefer the lightest leather armour, using a balanced barbed set now. Would love something with mana regen, but I'm far from picky)

I would not mind getting to know a few new weapons as well if suggestions are available. (using a gm made dagger)
Usually when I attack I go, Curse Weapon, poison, strangle, pain spike.

(I would have stuck this in a skill thread, but I couldn't specify which skill I use the most. Please ask any questions if it can help you clarify a possible reply.)

Well, to keep the cost low, you can either hunt for the virtue armor, it spawns in the anti-virtue dungeons, just keep killing monsters or you can buy the cheap artifacts.

Gloves of pugilist (DI bonus) (leather)
Heart of the lion (meditable)
Heritage tokens : samurai helm, leggings of ember (all meditable)

As a weapon, just buy a shadow hammer (cheap) and ask a smith to craft you every possible kryss it can (40) one of them should be along the lines of : 40 DI, 30 SSI, 8+ HCI, FC1 which is fairly good.

Add some average jewelry with 20+ DI and some HCI, Resists.

This should give you some of the damage your character badly lacks.

I notice you're on europa, come to Haven in the evening and I'll make you some krysses

Fey leggings for humans.. Since you only got SS as healing then id try get as much DCI as possible, Defence Chance Increase

Thank you very much Paidric and Gnomy! I am sure they will be most helpful
