The Sampire: a warrior's guide.

[yhaguen]

Hello Oxican,

Your base is not bad. Basically what you have to fix is:

1/ Raise your life. Max is 175 and the Sampire strength is in the tanking capability. At the end you'll reach a critical point: if you are not instant killed you'll survive.

2/ Raise your stam. Every 30 point you'll increase your weapon speed by 0.25s and a big stam pool allow more fight flexibilities.

Your "Hit Chance Increase - 197%" is overkill. Max is 45. Remove some of those mods to add life and stam instead.

3/ Your jewels. You need +stats on your jewels. Try to farm the savage warren. It is the best place to found vile artifacts jewels.

Go ahead young Sampire a lot of fun is in front of you!

Cheers,
Yhaguen.

Thanks Yhaguen, that's exactly what I needed to know. I was unaware of the Hit chance Increase cap. I hope I'm not exceeding any other caps through ignorance!

[yhaguen]

Hello Oxican,

you can found all the info into the Property caps section:


Warriors use a lot of property mechanisms. You need to MAX THEM ALL. Here the list with the max:
Damage Increase (DI) 100%.
Swing Speed Increase (SSI) 1.25s you cannot reduce below. So look your weapons base speed and adapt. www.uoguide.com/Swing_Speed_Increase
Hit Chance Increase (HCI) 45%.
Defense Chance Increase (DCI) 45%.
Hit point regeneration 18: it is the amount of regeneration over 10 seconds.
Stamina regeneration 24: Vampiric embrace allow +15.
Mana regeneration 18: A MUST HAVE.
Reflect Physical Damage 100% <- exception: not necessary to max it.
Lower Mana Coast (LMC) 40%
Lower Reagent Coast (LRC) 100%
Faster Cast Recovery 6
Faster Casting 4
You can also found into the Detailed armor set chapter a craft example including every mods on each armor pieces to reach all the maximum caps. I agree it is not the easiest part of the guide

cheers,
Yhaguen.

[Oxican]

I saw that but I misunderstood. I thought those were caps per piece under enhancement, not total for the character.
Thanks!

[Oxican]

Here are my new totals. I removed HCI from armor pieces except the heater (which I intend to do today). I'll also be changing out my jewelry pieces. I've found that spell crafting jewelry, weather it's crafted or not, is not sufficient. Jewelry apparently has to be artifact grade to be useful.

Lower Mana cost - 103%
Lower regeant Cost - 100%
Hit Chance Increase - 72%
Reflect Physical Damage - 108%
Defense Chance Increase - 20%
Spell Damage Increase - 5%
Staminia Increase - 53
Hit Point Increase - 46
Intelligence Bonus - 10
Damage Increase - 114%
Swing Speed Increase - 41%
Physical Resist Bonus - Max
Fire Resist Bonus - Max
Cold Resist Bonus - Max
Poison Resist Bonus - Max

Hello Oxican,

It is better. Maybe you can reduce a bit the Lower Mana cost (caped to 40) and add stamina instead. For information, artifact jewels need only 2 exemplar and 5 gems to be spellcarfted and not 8 like armors and weapons. You can easily found "Vile" artifact jewels in the Savage Warren dungeon in Tart.

Safe Travel,
Yhaguen.

Well normal jewlery when spell crafted is quite usefull being you can get 8 in each regen.

Artifact is better because you get 4 more propetties and gem socketing.
Socket Ruby on Health Jewlery for +5 health regen
Emerald on Vile Jewlery for +5 stam regen
and Diamond on Mage tower Jewlery for way better regen bonuses.

[yhaguen]

Guide updated as I mistaken on the maximum Mana regeneration allowed. It is more then 18.

Will be completed as soon we'll knowing the right value. Advise till now is to max it as much as you can!

Cheers,
Yhaguen.

Nice find Yhaguen. sofar with out using phoenix it's "almost"impossible to cap every regen.
players can push either SDI or regens with the current options available but it's impossible to max SDI and all regens. This seems to be a good balance bewteen the two.

[yhaguen]

In fact there is an artifact set giving +8 MR on 3 parts and another one +6 And +5 on Hit point and Stam regens. so with jewels it is easier to balance without Phoenix. Just those sets are harder to find.

[Figger]

what are the sets names

[yhaguen]

Updated with the maximum Mana regeneration rate allowed by the stuff: 23.

The guide armor set section is deprecated as it not take into account the new Ancient Gem Properties system. Work in progress.

A very nice guide, thanks Yhaguen! a question then as to your thoughts on trading magic resisit for meditation and using medable gear as to get higher mana regen rate. also in regard to healing, bushido confidence, the cleric spells touch of life and sacred boon, as well as vampiric embrace are supposed to heal through poison, even the most lethal. if that is the case on this shard wouldnt it be more beneficial to drop healing and magic resist in favor of meditation and focus for better mana and stamina regen? and as far as i know looks like phoenix armor is medable, though I may be wrong. It is also possible I am wrong in regard to spells here on traditions as the info regarding the mensioned spells comes from uo guide. I need to rebuild my sampire gear as it is quite antiquated from 4 years ago... LOL just recently returened home on a more permamnet basis
