This is my setup on Paladin at the moment (level 62), but when I am using Samurai, I use Longsword.

Magical ultimanium polearm
Level Req: 55
Damage: 250 to 667
+91% Enhanced Effect

Angelic ultimanium chain mail
Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 53 to 133
Magical Defense: 0 to 53

+57 Intelligence
+8 Life Regen
+3% Damage Return
+7% Armor Pierce

Mythical focused heal VIII
Level Req: 25
Heals: 163 to 196
Mana Cost: 61
+113% Enhanced Effect
+7 Magic Luck
+6% Armor Pierce
+3% Mana Syphon
+1% Power Shot


I only use one ability... Salvation and I only use /set easy 1 because I prefer to have smoother runs.
95 Vitality / 40 base Intelligence and rest to Dexterity for Polearms.

You need to find a better Main charm, the 25% heal mastery does jack shit with the negative 25% when using heal charm in ACC slot.
Find an Enhanced Effect healing type charm with +X Magic luck on it and use it on main slot... preferably better than my level 25.

it is all i could get for the time being.
i will be trying your 95/40 next run but i am really lacking on the Dps department more then anything.
i should have done all salvation as well but stopped when it hit about 50% this climb so far and added the rest into twohitback.



If i use this as my Mq armor next climb what stats and skill would you recommend?
or is this armor plus my ml charm not going to bring my heals up to par with my Ml charm in main slot ?

Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 26 to 104
Magical Defense: 15 to 46

+17 Strength
+1 to 4 Mana per Attack
+3% Mana Syphon
+45% Heal Mastery
+11% Glancing Blow

I think you would be better off woh a nice ee Armor. And upgrade your MQ sword.

That armor won't do much either. The reason why I chose Intelligence over Heal Mastery is because Intelligence is for 2 Reasons: Heal Capacity and minor magical defense... heal mastery only increases a % of the intelligence a character has available, and nothing else.

You are better off using the strength armor you posted over HM armor... or, get EE armor as stated by hasteful to increase your endurance in battle to kill opponent. Also... yes, get a better EE weapon, but as you stated, it is budget built.

You are stuck on TwoHitBack with your builds so far... yes, it is a Samurai ability, but it fails you when you only encounter 1 evil presence at a time, you are better off with Retribution @ 46% charge up and rest Salvation. (I am guessing you are solo'ing)

Find a chain / plate with +Int + ML (won't be cheap, but may help), then your main charm could be EE heal with Strength or Dex if you swap from sword to dagger, or just a plain stat main charm.

You have to do some number crunching when combining items to find the best output for what you want and your survivability... also... if SC, you could just opt for 85 vitality / 50 intelligence... test for yourself what you are happy with at the end.

Ive been doing quite well with drops just using a plain ML charm in addition to my regular weapon and tank armor. The results Ive been experiencing have been from swapping to ML to kill EPs but using my regular gear between EP spawns.

Personally I would never recommend a stat armor for high lvl farming with or without ML. Even when you have gfg gear tank armors are more effective than stat gear at those levels.
