ok heres the lowdown on my necro macer, i use her to solo dreadhorns, darkfathers, skeletal liches etc
120 mace
120 bushido
120 tactics
120 anat
120 spirit speak
80 chiv
40 necro
Base stats
125 dex
115 intel
10 dex
gear includes:
wind's edge
mace and shield
violet courage
legs of bane
quiver of infinity
stormgrip
primer on arms
crinson cincture
hci/dci ring and bracelet ( they need to total 25 HCI and 15 DCI)
crafted sleeves with MR2 and resists
crafted gorget with resists and stam regen 2 ( tho im going to switch this piece out now that they changed the way forms work)
ok winds edge had 50 ssi and a base speed of 2s giving it a 1.33 second swing speed with 0 dex, so minimum dex is perfect.
wraith form is pretty crucial when fighting big monsters ( DF, Peerlesses) for its mana leech associated with it, which is based on your spirit speak ( 24% at 120, which is a true leech)
one key thing you need to do is put on GM inscription and cast protection, magic reflection, and reactive armor ( this gives the best overall resists (-10/+5/+5/+5/+5) and makes it so you arent interrupted when casting curse weapon which is VERY important)
Curse weapon is a true life leech, and leeches 50% of the damage you deal for a short time, the problem is you dont know when it ends so you have to keep an eye on your health
feint is the only important special on winds edge according to stratics it gives a defensive bonus against a single opponent for a short time ( great info guys!) but uoguide says "Unofficially, feint cuts all damage, both melee and magical, dealt to you in half. The effect lasts for four to five seconds."
momentum strike is a HUGE help with curse weapon since you gain from dealing about 4x damage that you are from 1 opponent (without a crit strike from lightning strike) due to the damage bonus given for the second opponent
a basic run down of how i solo dreadhorn
precast Enemy of one and curse weapon
activate key
run up and honor
preset feint special maneuver
once feint hits begin using lightning strike
recast spells as needed, particularly using feint before i cast curse weapon for the damage reduction
when fighting dreadhorn or skeletal liches i usually hit for 40-50 and crit for about 135
