BEST DEXMONKEY TEMP IN YOUR OPINION

[flesh+iron]

100str 100dex 25 int

Resist
Heal
Anat
Tact
Mace/Swords/Fence??? Would having two wep skills be viable? Sword & Mace for poison and stam loss?
MAgery?Hide?
Archery?Stealth?MEd?Eval?

Please give me the best DexMonkey or wep combat oriented template....i have my other character for tankmage

Resist/Healing/Anat/Tactics Mace or Swords depending on what you want to accomplish (Dex loss or poisoning) /Archery/Magery

if you go swords over mace you can take poisoning instead of magery or possibly archery but you'll find it extremely hard to get kills on decent players without archery as a finisher when they run... And it's tough as **** to play without magery for a clutch G heal.

archery/swords/tact/resist/healing/anat/poison heavy x bow follow by dp kat, game over. 100/100/25

[flesh+iron]

Archery/tact/Healing/Anat/fencing is appealing to me but only if i do poisoning which will be a bitch/poisoning/70resist/30magery

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that poisoning does not benifit combat on this shard. If it is the case then I would have poisioning on a diffrent character and just carry an extra wep.

[Sinkin]

The thing with poisoning is that each swing takes a charge off your wep, even if you miss. So a 14 charge DP Kat will be just a reg kat in 14 swings. You really gotta carry like 3-5 poisoned weps or have a poison macro to re-poison during combat.

[DeeDs]

Yeah it really sucks keeping track of ur weps with or without poison charges while in a fight, and having to constantly cycle weps. I pray someday AZ will give us poisonous strike toggle for our weps.

I've got a few dexers, all are good in their own way, depending on the situation.

I have a med warrior:
Macing
Tactics
Anatomy
Healing
Magery
Resist
Meditation

100, 85, 40.

I also have an Ork dexer:

Macing
Tactics
Anatomy
Healing
Hiding
Archery
Resist

100 100 25

My newest dexer is

Swords
Tactics
Anatomy
Healing
Archery
Poisoning
Resist

100 100 25

I find that the med warrior does VERY good vs mages, not nearly as well vs a well equipped pure dexer. Can't stop to cast with someone beating on you with 100 dex. The archer/macer does very good vs just about anyone, but with no magery you can have a hard time catching up to runners, plus you don't have the opportunity to use magic reflect or RA. He finishes people much easier than the med warrior though.

Basically it comes down to your play style, and what you intend to do with the character. PK? PvM? Group PVP? Solo PVP?

my template is a lil different and im still not finished but i feel it will be fun to play.

100 str 85 dex 40 int

100 Tactics
100 Archery
100 Fencing
100 Healing
80 Anatomy
80 Resist
70 Eval
70 Magery

I will carry 2-3 DPed Long or Short Spears AND 1-3 DPed warforks
Heavy Xbow hopefully Power or Vanq
and can use Magery either defensively or offensively...I have enough mana to cast Explo and Ebolt or just one or the other so i can dump/sync with mages or can precast before Heavy Xbow and after use of a spear....Also being able to cast lightning or fireball that does decent damage is awesome for those running that are redlined and were able to cure my poison. The 70 eval will really enhance my offensive use of magery. The lack of meditation just means my use of mana will have to be strategic and not careless.

Opinions?
