john's is nice. one of my side sampires uses it and has +49 skill points on total suit and it's really nice for spawnsI like having 80 chivalry a lot
I'd love to get your thoughts on a few things:
I'm not so interested in spawning with a sampire, but I'm always looking for new solo hunting builds for taking on tough mobs. Currently, I have a whammy that uses 120 fencing 120 bush 120 parry. Would it be better to work on making this a flexible character that can switch out skills to make a sampire, or should I build a sampire from scratch?
Do you think the sampire is better for solo opponents than a whammy? I hate using wraith form, so that may be my answer.
How do you feel about short spears if we're going with fencing? I know you are big on specials - but what if I just want to spam lightning strike to rack up perfection?
I am a pretty lazy player (shame on me, I know), meaning I don't like to do a lot of prep or special item carrying when I hunt. What's the best stand-alone template for a solo hunting sampire with the minimum amount of restocking, skill xferring, etc necessary?
Thanks for any of your opinions on this stuff. Great guide.
Yeah, looking at doom and peerless-type things or just tough paragons. So, at 100 SS, it looks like you leech 20% of damage as mana in wraith form. I suppose that means I need to be spamming AIs or something to deal enough damage. I was considering using a kryss with no shield - maybe one with HLL so I wouldn't have to rely on CW. Would a double bladed staff or pike be a better choice? Not sure what to burn hammers on. I have Pacify as well, which I guess could be good in vamp form?Great questions, I was wondering when Whammy vs Sampire would come up. This could almost be it's own discussion.
As much as I hate to admit this I think the whammy beats sampire in DPS because the mana leech is just too good. Any weapon can spam specials on a whammy and it's great. The downside is you still have to heal yourself.
Sampire's survivalbility is much greater than a whammy. And heals itself so it is a lot less invasive to play vs a whammy.
You can honestly go hands free with a sampire without easy uo or scripts.
I think short spears are weak because of the special arguement. If you're ok with spamming lightning strike then it might not be too bad I just advise using specials because without whirlwind or AI or double strike it seems hard to keep up enough hit points, depending on what you're fighting.
What functions will this character have if not champ spawns? Solo hunting, doom, peerless?
double bladed staff is overall the best DPS weapon for fencing due to double strike.
long spear is probably the second best choice for AI.
both weapons are 2 handed to benefit from bushido + parry.
kryss might be cool too
HLL might be good but it would need to be very high to proc it enough to stay alive without healing or CW. it actually interests me.
pacify isn't too good because the dps is low and the specials suck. none of the replica weapons are good for samps.
my archer (Indika) is actually a wraith form archer. I have 40% LMC and 50 mana and I can AI every single hit.
my archer is a wraith too
i can stay in this form using scrolls, with no necro skill
Are you lightning striking? Activating LS deactivates weapon special moves (only do one or the other).And btw. Soul Seeker's special ability is not working ? It just activates (goes red) and does nothing at all.
Thanks for your reply! Great guide!
