d-d-d-double post! there's NO reason to think a ring 7 is better than ANYTHING (other than ring 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, LOL!). and are you really complaining about BAG SPACE? Just get a HAND MADE BACKPACK. They weigh 0.1!

i'm not reading any of the rest of your drivel, and honestly, nobody else should either.

i tried to make some suggestions on how to improve your gear, and you went off the deep-end.

I didn't go off the deep end, you just like shit posting and not reading[You must be logged in to view images.

That isn't true, and whoever told you that is also wrong.

EDIT: Also, https://wiki.project1999.com/Hand_Made_Backpack weigh 3.0, not sure what you are even talking about.

You haven't posted a SINGLE THING worth reading!

It is NOT an assumption. It's well established FACT. Your little note about those shit boots you're wearing having "balanced" stats just shows you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. Balanced stats is good raw HP/mana/MR. Those boots barely have any MR and a negligible amount of INT. They are literally TRASH.

Your shitty rings that you don't have bag space for weigh 0.1. They don't need to go into a tink bag. They can go into a handmade backpack just fine. Buy more and quit bitching about bag space.

Yes, I am the one going off the deep-end, when you are just cursing and shit posting. Got it[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Resistances and AC will save you more often on most content than max HP. Do you even play the game at high levels? Monsters either don't hit very hard/often due to AC and defensive skills, or hit so hard that there is no difference between 3k and 3.5k hp other than you dieing in 5 seconds instead of 8 seconds. Anything that kills you that fast either needs to be slowed or disc'ed (which SK's don't have).

Please, if you want some basic understanding of the game, create a Dark Elf SK Magelo and you can see the stat comparisons with my setup. They are pretty similar. If you assume a Dark Elf SK with average gear can't play the game, you clearly don't know what you are talking about lol.

EDIT: You also missed the part about Tribal War Boots being better resistance boots than Boots of Dark Passage (I have Tribal War Boots for resistance swap). But that isn't surprising, since you said you weren't reading.

This is plain WRONG. A creature hitting you for max damage over and over again (think flurry drakes in NTOV) is not going to be stopped by your measly mana pool or a few extra AC. If you stacked max HP, you could survive it longer and get healed. Do YOU even play high levels? If you tried to raid on this character, you would be expected to tank those drakes or you would be LAUGHED AT by the raid for bringing such a useless character. You don't gear for trivial content... it's TRIVIAL by definition.

HP is KING.

I'd offer to help you because you seriously need help with gearing and tanking, but it's obvious you wouldn't listen.

Just quit please trying to spread your misinformation.

people solo tank raid bosses with necros now things/strategies change over time.

Maybe the beefiest shamman is right seems like hes got some good data to back up his strats lol

As a fellow Troll SK, you can look at my Magelo in my Sig to get ideas on what to fill your other slots with.

I guess your right, you said you had ideas, but you never said you had GOOD ideas.

Just reciting the mantra "HP = Good" does not make it so, nor does attempting to shut down the discussion because you can't be bothered to play the game[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm pretty sure that at this point, neither one of us knows what you're talking about.

You literally said HP is King. That is the "HP = good" mantra people repeat on these forums ad nauseam, and it honestly doesn't apply in most situations. If you blindly believe this to be the case, I can only assume you don't play the game, or don't pay too much attention to it.

For people who are not fixated on maxing HP without thinking:

1. For levels 1-40 or so, max HP is king on all classes. This is because STA scaling is bad at that range, most good proc weapons don't proc, your spells suck, and your offensive skills are bad. This means ATK, Dex, and Mana aren't helping you too much, whereas the tuning of the game from 1-40 isn't designed for players running around with +500 HP or so from items.

2. Once you get to levels 50+, ATK + Dex + Mana + a good weapon play a bigger role in terms of DPS and kill speed. The difference is content is tuned to expect the player to have a ton of HP, because by levels 50+ you start getting good buffs on buffing classes, so +500 HP isn't that great anymore. Killing a monster 5 seconds faster due to a higher ATK + Dex + Mana + a good weapon means you are saving hundreds of HP by not getting hit for those 5 seconds. You are also able to hold down camps better, get more money, etc. Stacking max HP doesn't increase your kill speed or ability to hold down camps, so it is the lesser stat for solo/group content in most cases.

3. Max HP is better on caster classes like Enchanters 50+, because they NEVER get good STA scaling, so you are always going to be fairly low on HP. High raw +HP items are the only way to go on those classes, especially since most caster gear is very lack luster in Classic -> Velious.

4. Max HP is good in specific situations where mobs are casting unresistable (or nearly unresistable) spells, as it is the only way to counter that kind of spell. For most other spell casting situations, resistances are better. If this wasn't the case, you wouldn't see people carrying around resistance gear[You must be logged in to view images.

5. Max HP is the best stat on Warriors, because most Warriors build themselves for raiding on this server. It synergizes the best with Complete Heal chains, and many raid mobs (such as AoW) don't cast spells anyway.

6. SK's are not good in raids at all on P99. If you want to play a hybrid raid class, play Paladin or Ranger. In those specific cases, if you are trying to be a Flurry offtank, max HP is indeed good. But that is not what OP was asking.

7. Finally, in most group content gear doesn't matter that much, because your group mates are bringing way more to the table, and most monsters do not have spell immunity to things like slow, which trivializes most content anyway. More DPS (even from an SK) means faster kill rates for your group.

Or people who say this play at an extremely high level that you've ever experienced. HP is king. It's been true since 1999. I've been playing that way ever since.

The rest of your post is TL;DR. Probably just more nonsense and backtracking from things you've said that have already been shot down in this post.
