Damn, my eyes are bleeding from all those numbers...

[Snapp]

I take it from lack of weapon/shield training you want to hold a stave... You need more magical skills.. like arcane symbols, and magic item use.. As a cleric, I'd try to 2x mana control too.

[Moist Happenings]

I don't have a cleric right now, and as such I don't remember what stats/skills affect what, but if i'd suggest taking down dexterity and raising discipline. more training points = better than higher stats in the long run.

[Kitsun]

He's trained with spell aiming, if he tanks his dex any his bolts will be really weak.

Generally as a runestaff user, you should aim for their minimum which is 8-9 magical ranks per level.

I think 1.5 HP is good but you can drop down SMC to 1x. The cost vs rewards of the extra training aren't really worth it, if you want just throw it into HP so you have more mana. SMC doesn't affect smite/bane infusion now.

I agree with Snapp you should probably find room to 1x in AS and MIU as well.

I'm not sure what spells you hunt with but I'd ditch blessing lore for now. There's not much you can do with it unless your looking foward to Holy Receptacle(If so, don't get your hopes up). You've got points buried there.

[Siefer]

Currently, I just 302 my way through Warfs...that's pretty much all I do. Haven't used anything else so far. I don't know anything about holy receptacle, knowing Simu it will go live in GSVI. I'm gonna go play around with goals for a couple minutes. I'll get back to you later.

[Siefer]

Back from training. Lost some spells, removed all blessing and summoning lores. Singled AS, MIU, and SMC. Gonna do a warf hunt now and see how it goes.

[Siefer]

Somehow, my Smite CS went down by 2. Anyone know how that happened?

[Flurbins]

You should get 211 and 215 for some extra bolt AS

[Siefer]

Right now I'm just 302'ing my way through warfs. I haven't had any use for bolt spells yet. Hopefully sometime in the future all this spell aiming will pay off.

[Flurbins]

Do you channel or cast, what stance, and with what in your hands? (306 is a really really nice spell, especially if you 2x religion.)

[Siefer]

I 302 Warfs with a runestaff and empty left hand. Channel at them in guarded usually. So many little details go into hunting these days.

[Kitsun]

That last snippet you posted was still 2x in SMC. If your a baner, I'd consider overtraining in Religion Lore.

Supposedly overtraining more than 1x provides more benefit than each rank adding up to the 1x.

Someone from the official boards did some numbers on his infusion rate with half trained, full trained and overtrained religion lore. Something like each rank counts as 0.01 to the percentile but it skewed heavily post-1x to like 0.025 per. The numbers probably aren't accurate because I just pulled them out of my head but thats where I'd put the SMC points.
