SoOSC weapon - Guild Wars Forums

Gods Hell Warior · Dec 06, 2010, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Gonna be starting to do SoOSC soon and was wondering what type of staff mods would be good for the Snowstorm man. the wiki says shield and caster weapon but i see everyone seems to be using a staff and i think it looks cool when you run with it so im gonna use the staff.

shield makes u mobs deal lower dmg to you....

For SoOSC Snow you should have:

- A +5 energy weapon of enchanting and a shield with while enchanted mods for running.
- Zealous Daggers of Enchanting for killing things (req 9 or lower).
- Insightful Staff of Enchanting with Have Faith Inscription for high energy set.

You should really only have the staff out if your energy is too low to cast.

Insightful + Enchanting for staff mods
but Shield + spear > staff any day, except if that day is a 0 energy day :P

Staffs are usefull on perma's for half skill recharge on for example sliver armor not that thats going to help much in an SoOsc though just run a martial wep + shield have a set with some daggers so you can actually use that dagger skill :P and thats about it for SoOsc

That is what I use on my shield. However, bear in mind that a +30 handle is reasonable, as are 20% -5 and "while in a stance" mods (assuming you have Conviction on your bar, and until you've been doing this a while I'd recommend that you do).

snow's a pretty light job, so anything with +20% ench should handle it. unless ur unfamiliar with the area, rubberband/lag a lot, or the monsters there just hate ur guts ( it does happen where they always attack the same person), there's no difference between a staff/caster and shield set. imo armor vs pierce/blunt r more useful than -2/ench or -2/stance.
