Meditation or Parry

jfk · 03-10-2007, 03:35 PM

Here's what I have on my dexxer:

120 Fencing
110 Resist
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Meditation
100 Poisoning
90 Healing

Should I drop med in favor of parry? I took med (for now) as I have 44 DCI without kryss, 59 with (yes I know it's capped at 45). So I thought the med might be nice to allow more specials. His armor is 8 MR, he is elf, and his stats are: 99 strength (115 HP), 120 dex (132 stamina), and 70 intell (109 mana). I have macro's for pots and petals.

His weaps:

Kryss:
50 lightning
15 DCI
44 DI

Fork:
40 lightning
11 HCI
35 DI

So what are all your opinions and reasons. And yes, I know I could gain a touch as a human, but I like to be different.

I usually stick with not being hit, so I'd keep Parry.

And I know how tough it was to get to 100 Poisoning, but only 80 is needed (unless the new changes changed that, haven't looked into it) because your weapon skill is at 120. So I'd bump Parry to 120.

Even though it is capped, I believe it is still factored when with hit lower defense. If you had 60 dci and hit lower D goes off it would lower your defense 25? not sure the exact number, but in these cases mass dci helps.

If you have that much dci why not go parry? you would be virtually unhittable. With no chiv i don't see your mana consumption being that bad. Especially if you just spam DP. What it comes down to is your suit... if you have less then 8mr on your suit I would stick with med.

You kill me phix buddy about parry.... that is the devil saying that hehe

I axactly agree with dip....

dpers dont even make me look i would be bleed, disarm, poison, ai if can if not bleed, disarm, and poison and poison....

but what stops that char from doing the same is your def and your parry so you parry dont get hit and heal they bleeding get hit and hit and die...
