Subject: Re: RE: mana


Niomar,

Don't Panic, you started out with a good base for wisdom but Mik is
absolutely right. As for putting points into strength, well I made the same
mistake when I made Bree, but all is not lost. I might scare you all in
saying my Base wisdom is 89, frightning isn't it?
My current wisdom at my level is 180 without our enchanters buff, which
bring me to 192. Yes I screwed up bad making Bree, but almost every piece
of equipment I have is wisdom enhancing, Strength is not gonna make a damn
bit of difference at high levels. These are my stats without any enhancing
buffs. Str106, sta95, agi95, dex80(yuck), 180wis, 95int, 72cha......My dex
used to be higher, this is also important, but it will go up again when I
get the PoF bracers. I am going to be taking a big dive in str soon -18 to
be exact, in order to use the new Pearl kedge totems, I am getting 2 of them
so in total I will lose 18 str but gain 36wisdom, more mana keeps my tanks
alive, I very rarely if ever melee. The only time I am doing a good deal of
DD is in Lower Guk(undead side) I can with my wisdom cast Banish undead
10times doing a damage total of 5850points. But my group knows that my mana
management skills are good, when we invite someone out of the ordinary to
our group, we usually let them know what we expect of them and what they can
expect from us and the leader just tells me "Bree, you just do what you do"
they don't tell me to only heal, or only damage. They trust my judgement.

At your level, you will probably not have an over abundance of wisdom items,
I know I didn't, most of my items have been attained from lvl30+. I
personally would not suggest wearing plate, maybe some Blackened Iron(really
heavy) or bronze for now til you can get wisdom items I.E. BS tunic, Gator
legs. There is really no reason to spend all that money on platemail just to
look cool unless you are rich.
Back in my younger days, I was wearing Patchwork leather until lvl 20 and
then Banded mail up til i got my BS tunic and ruby legs, then I got the
gator legs and ditched the ruby.

Just my thoughts,
