Gem 1: 25 Strength - 99 Flawless Fiery Essence Imbue Points: 37.0 of 32 (100 Qual) Overcharge: 38% My RA's atm are IP1, Purge 1, SoS, MoP2, going for IP2 and Purge 2 for rr5. Nice stuff: Battler use2, Cyclops shield Stealth lore (great for those /wavers, Malice, Croc Ring damage reduction/conversion, Heal Proc on TG Vest, SoM, PH, Phase Shift & FZ. Where i lack is melee damage and 5% style damage but i figure the defence is better, since i can only hit one target at a time but can defend against more and i meet more duo's (fz + mezz ftw) than solo'ers.

My spirit is slightly low but i use my chants to bring them up when needed, also i got some parry (44/46/17 spec) and seem to parry alot considering my low dex. I still get nice hits and con with near str nearly capped. I included SoM, PH, Croc Ring and TG Vest. I went down a slightly diferent path for my template, opting for the more defensive set-up. Good luck with your character creation (yes I was alittle bored/tired when I wrote all of this, but have to kill time doing something, might aswell do it here) In my oppinion skalds are definently one of the better solo/melee classes in midgard though some people underestimate them, but each person his oppinion Furthermore skalds get yet another damage add as a Champion Level ability in the upcoming expansion Darkness Rising. you will have your base weapon damage depending on specialization, realm abilities and realm rank, and you have AOTG 2 which gives roughly 100 extra damage, the skald dam add chant which gives roughly 40 extra damage, and the shaman dam add which gives an additional 20 extra damage. The standard spec is 46 Battlesongs, 44 Weapon and 17 Parry, but I chose the other one since I, with 406 STR and 48 Hammer, have just above 1800 Weapon Skill which means more damage (yes 1800 is alot for a light tank) So. I dont always use my print screen button so I could probably have had alot more screenshots.ĭamage wise I am specced 48 Hammer, 46 Battlesongs, 5 Parry. Screenshots and templates are availible here. I uploaded a few screenshots so you can get an aproximate idea of how much damage a well equipped troll skald does. Also, an advantage for skalds are chain armor which will benefit you a great deal.Ĭonclusion : You wont go wrong with skald, they cut through stealthers like warm butter. I missed to play the class since its loads of fun so I recreated one I think its a great class with lots of potential compared to others, and I bet if I created a savage I wouldnt be able to live without speed 5. I should add that this is my third skald creation over time which I've played to RR6, have sold the others, but well well.

Illness, various morph modes, various charges + I always have around 500 end/heal/power elixirs in my backpack.

Nifty Shit : Battler debuff, Stealth Lore, Realm Lore, Mezz/Stun Immunity, Cure Ress. Realm Abilities (atm) : Ignore Pain 2, Anger of the Gods 2, Ameliorating Melodies 2, and Speed of Sound. Utility : 2x instant DD, instant snare, instant mezz, dam add chant, heal chant, speed chant, elemental chant, spirital chant, forceful zephyr, phase shift. In my oppinion they are the toughest opponent to meet, except for Kagato (hi2u) and it is usually versus mercenaries I have the best fights. I only play in the weekends theese days due to work but I can say, that I have more than 500 solo kills on him, and beaten mercenaries with the right combination of RA's. I have 25 str cap, 23 con cap and unlike other skalds capped everything else except for energy resist. I have a ML10 RR6+ Skald myself which is a Troll and use 2 handed hammer.
