Wow, I've got GM focus on my archer (Archery 120 - Tactics - Chiv 80 - Anatomy - Healing - Resist - Focus). What would I replace Focus with on this template?? Didn't realize it was so useless. I don't have mana regen on my armor, though...

Drop Focus for bushido w/ perfection and Enemy of one you will rock most monsters since you will be getting so many damage bonuses. But make sure to get some mana regen armor or else you will be doing very few special attacks.

It's not as useless as we make it sound. There are just a lot of skills that will do more for you. Are you mainly doing PvM or PvP? Are you having trouble with mana or stamina regen at this time?

Vepl

Something to consider is getting a little spellweaving in there Kitiara. But again, if your suit does not help with your mana and stamina regen, then maybe you are better off not dropping it fully. For many templates though, Focus is a bonus skill and not a suporting skill is all.

My archer has spellweaving with healing anatomy bushido tactics... and having like an Arctic ogre lord to tank for me, where you can heal it with bandaids is just fun! Only challange is getting the Arctic to a useful area without having magery.

My suit doesn't specifically have mana regen (I'll start looking for those pieces!) but I do have a high mana leech weapon - will that have a similar effect (ie. raising my mana when it is depleted)?

I PvM (no PvP - I suck. I get all flustered and hit the wrong macro keys like a moron!) Mostly I've been killing dragons in Destard for leather. Yawn. I'm usually playing solo.

Spellweaving... OK, I guess it's time I bother to read what the heck that is
