Psi monks used to be poor consters, but since CST formula has been changed for ages (INT level is more important than DEX now), I want to know something.

My question is, did anyone here tried to make a Psi conster recently ? Am I able as a reall ppu (with a nice holy shelter etc..) to build high TL weapons with, let's say 100 pure CST + imps + glove + OP, or do I have to be a pure conster to work efficiently, with such low DEX level ?

Here is my current Neoskiller setup (except that I'm not INT/PSI capped, and I'm a resser instead of CST because it requires only INT) for a Cst/Rep Ppu. This doesn't include Cst/Supporter buffs, CST Glove, OP bonus, drugs etc :

Well, first, instead of Spy 3, try CST 3, or support for the repair, but, 64 isnt really a high skill for repair. Personally I look for a repper with 150+ skill. Other than that, I don't think a monk could be good at CST, maybe RES or BRT.

I only use Spy Booster 3 for pvp, and my rep skill is enough for low TL items or armours even with a Supporter 3 (very useful for your team when caving for example)

About the construction, I'm more sceptical : I used to have another char, spy, which is a cst too. I already built a 5 slot TL 113 Executionner (and many other good stuff) with 160 CST, DEX/INT 110+. According to Neoskiller, he has 147 in construction. Now with my monk, at 160 skill INT 109 DEX 49, I can reach 136 in construction : that's why I suppose you may get 5 slot judge (TL100) with a bit of luck, and probably easier with any non-rare weapon.

Extensive tests needed :wtf:

You could probably drop the psi use to about 160.

It's better to use pure psi use implants, as the bonus points you get from them is better then just using tradeskiller boosting implants. Though I'm not sure about repair, you probably could spec some in as with the eye + buff that's 30 already, though you might be a little slow and might need to take a whiteflash or something.

I'm assuming you don't have a DS, so...

This has a construct 3 on it.
Glove (+15) + Friendly OP (+25 bonus) = 174 total construct
Glove (+15) + Own OP (+50 bonus) = 199 total construct

So it should be alright. Only downside is less points for dex for repair and slightly gimped Stength.

edit: oh and, capped holy shelter (frequency easily, probably damage, if not mid 500s).

Thx for the alternative setup !

And you're right I don't have nor want a DS, cause I consider it as necessary only for full pvp chars (which a cster/repper ppu is not, tbh ^^).

@Roger : you already get average stats on holy shelter using my current setup with 179 psu 164 ppu (thought I'm far away from PSI/INT caps atm). The only possibility I see for speccing > 100 psu is increasing primary skills using a full ppu imps setup (like the one posted by sultana), or else I'm afraid you would get something like 30/min on high spells, even artifacts :eek:

for speccing > 100 psu
I mistyped here (too late for editing), you have to read "for speccing > 100 cst"
