Hey out there,
Which one would you keep? Anatomy or Tactics? I'm so confused.

From what I've gathered, Tactics helps out a weapon skill, like eval is to magery. Anatomy and tactics along with a weapon skill help out your damage output. I believe anatomy is there for increased healing. I have heard that having gm anatomy and 0 healing will cure a poison as well. If you have the room, keep em both. It cant hurt. I go 115 anat 110 tact 110 heal 120 swds on my paladin.

Uhmm, what are you? A warrior or what. If so, I would definitely keep both. For a me as a mage, I don't have either, and I go where I want.

Tactics is purely a damage modifier to any melee skill.

Keeping that in mind, if you can make up for damage increase on your weapons and jewels you really dont need tactics to still get to the damage cap.

Anat you need for your bandage healing to cure poison and reduce "slips" ultimately adding to the total damage healed.

I'd say post the rest of your template for a better assessment.


If you are asking about help on an archer, dont expect any more help from me, however.

ROFLMAO

Do I detect a little animosity perhaps?

Look back on Vy's posts, he is probably one of the most anti-archer players out there. I dont blame him, they are the ruin of Fel.

Tactics is purely a damage bonus.

Anatomy is a smaller damage bonus, and also helps you heal. (Just try healing without any Anatomy; it's pretty much a waste.)

So therefore, if there' sonly room for tactics or anat but not both, the answer is simple:

If you have Healing, it must be Anatomy. If you do not have Healing, it should be Tactics becuase the damage bonus is greater.

If you have a warrior without healing you are likely using Chivalry. Make sure you have at least 3/6 casting, preferably 4/6. If you're going to be PvPing, as would be implied by the Forum this is in, go for 4/6.

I have also heard of Samurai templates without healing, but I know next to nothing about them.

on the Samurai you can use the Confidence spell, down side to that is there is a slight delay and with what i have experienced it doesnt work all the time.

confidence is nice, but it wont help when youre getting hit by an archer exploiting the quiver bug and getting rocked for 70+. it is nice for doing a spawn and youre in a group getting picked at, but not against big hits.. Dont give up healing, its too important.
