APU resists

[Shelty1]

ok im a noob APU (in the sense that i havent played him a long time) but he has capped psi adn enough int for heavy poisen belt.

now pvp resists...

[btw not using resistor chip]

any recomendations?

[Shelty1]

so boring i know.....but any little things would be helpful

[joran420]

I would sugest putting everything into ath and HLT :D :D :D


heh jk dude my resists suck so bad I get killed by mosquitos

use the resistor chip, it is stupid not to, at least it is stupid if you are asking for help with apu resists.
Id share my old apu's resists/armor setup, but its been some time since he was lommed to hybrid, and his old setup has been long since forgotten, but I can tell you that he used a resistor chip

[Dribble Joy]

Bare in mind I have never played a monk to ANY level.
I wouldn't bother speccing energy res, you get plently from the lvl 4 psi armours.
That and a heavy fire belt, and a PPR and you are sorted for fire too. Spec a decent amount of Xray and some alt and htl.

I dunno man i think other chips give ya more bang for the buck...I had a PP chip but i ditched it

[Shelty1]

well i did use it..but attack 2 seems more use really

err yeah, more attack bang for the buck, but shelty wants defense -- right?

Im at school for now, but I think I might have my apu's old setup written down, if so Ill post it in here

[joran420]

well the amount of atk you lose to gain the little you get in defense from the PP chip just doesnt balance out...imho...I know u know what u talkin about divide...but i dont think a PP chip is a good idea...

[Dribble Joy]

Core, DS, attack3 and ppr?

Can't be bad....

[joran420]

DS

hehe yeah :D :D :D :D

i have a feeling thats not an option for him ATM

[Shelty1]

im using core attack 2 attack 3 DS

im not changing that setup.


i just need some advice on resists based around that.

this is manly an op ballt char so offence is more imortnat than defence

[Dribble Joy]

Well.. using the ol skillz manag0r i got 163 energy, 123 fire and 144 xray (with haz3) 115 without. about 60 atl and 250 hp. (300 with haz3)

core, ppr attack 2 and 3, lvl 4 psi armour, pa3 (drugged on) and heavy fire.

[joran420]

hmmm that sounds kinda nice how bad is the ATL hit goin from 75 to 60?

the resists are fine, but you never want to rely on any kind of buff when you are an apu, especially not when you run around with only 250 health unbuffed

Like I said I know nothing of monkehs. I'm a PE, seeing resists below 110 makes me want to die.

[ZoneVortex]

all POR so you can cast holy pestilence twice, confuse your enemy by simply standing there in the middle of it, watch the expression on his face melt away as he is slowly, well, rather rapidly eaten alive and dissolved- digested - by that toxicity

[Candaman]

Tupac tried that trick when he was playing a monk but unfortunately he (and all his clan mates around him) had low pois resist

[Shadow Dancer]

70 natural x-ray.

65 natural body health, 75 with imps.

no fire or energy natural

rest in athletics

heavy fire belt


May not be the best, but it works for me.


Personally i'm not one of those 30 athletic apus that pump everything into agility. Because they ARE slower than me. I love my speed too much.

[Shelty1]

tnx ppl all helpful

[Stigmata]

that setup makes you pretty vulnerable to xray and poison damage Shad, although i suppose if it works for ya then it dont matter.

Personally i go 20 less ath all dex in agility

and the 20 less ath points into fire.

Well yea the only problem is x-ray. :(
And i don't want to rape athletics to get like 5-10 more points into x-ray.

But damnit i like my speed. And the -16 hit to agility next patch when they fix monk pa is gonna hurt.
