How do you build a good sammy caster? Is it better to use higher intel plates to compensate for lower intel?


Along the same lines, 15 unused stat points ... 5 vit / 10 intel OR 10 vit / 5 intel OR 5 v / 5 int / 5 dex?


Casting from level 25up.... Are these charms good enough?

Level 25: 137ee
Level 35: 121ee (soon to be replaced)
Level 40: 157ee
Level 45: 176ee
Level 55: 171ee

All ice ofc

I can buy new intel gear that will be appropriate for samurai. I just hate using the catacombs and want to figure out a build that will allow me to solo... fast.

Any other input is especially nice.

As for those who want me to "read the sticky," I did... Its hard to understand and that is just Graal's opinion, I want to know what other people think too.

full intel
as you properly know samu casters are very low on mana but just mean that you will regen more but also faster
else its the same as all caster as much int as possibel

so would instead of my 44int dagger and a 53int robe, would you suggest buying an int sword and plate?

int plate would be much better

the mana is gonna be longe gone before the life so a robe will do fine (else you have a heal)
i suggest you make meele samu cause you have good enough meele gear (only seen you mq gear)
meele would properly be faster for you solo i think but since that not what you asking for then: you int gear is fine i think it would be a waste to buy something higher to use on a samu caster
but i highly suggest meele out for what i seen on your mq gear you properly gonna do chain at 4-7 as caster at 55+ i do that with my meele monk with out heavy armor and a lower ee dagger

edit: and sorry i dont make dots and what ever this little thing ,,,, is callled in english if you having a hard time undersanding what im saying let me know ^^

Might wanna take a look here if you have not already

makes sense to me. the climb is so slow. its about 25 minute levels with that gear (which i know is good) i wanted to try casting it from 25+ it would be cheapish and if it doesnt work it doesnt work... but if its faster than thats the route i'd go.



you cant read apparently...

up

rick have you ever thought about doing a hybrid sammy?

Full intel, melee up to 35. Cast from there on.
