7 days remain until the annual FIXSKILLS is to be granted, on 05/20/2018.

Your 30 day migration period will begin when you choose to degrade a skill.

In short, I'm keeping 90 shield use (to use with spears and tridents, when I'm not using a lance), added 2x ranged and pole, subtracted 2x OHE & THW, kept 40 ambush, brought perception up to 2x.

Any suggestions before I use my fixskills in 7 days' time?

Thanks!

You're not going to believe this, but I found a +20 player-forged lightly crit weighted razern lance in a Ta'Illistim playershop for only 250k.

Only downside is that it isn't blessable, so I'll still have to find a blessable lance.

Also looking for weighted and/or blessable spears and tridents.

why keep one rank of emc if you are only gonna have 4 in HP to begin with? The ranks in CM should give you plenty of stopping power for an open ambush with half of what you have especially for something simple like the legs or chest when using the lance. Speaking of lance i'm sure you combated it the same way with THW but i'd do whatever i could to stay up on 2x dodge before taking on a secondary weapon type, but that's all subjective. If you haven't used last years fixskill why not play around with a different style for a few days. Are you using berserk when you did use the THW?

Okay, I got rid of that one rank of EMC (it was for the now defunct Dreavening).

If I keep ranged, I'll want more ambush, not less.

I can't see a warrior like myself only knowing one weapon type, and 2x dodge is very expensive (maybe a post-cap goal).

I didn't berserk much with THW. I mostly hunt in groups, and berserking is antisocial behavior. ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion! I just realized I have last year's fixskill available!

Besides 'goals', 'cman', and 'shield', is there anything else I need to check or reset before doing last year's fixskill? Thanks!
