Help: Went from sword and board to pure

[Lord Orbstar]

My reallocation time is up, so i went pure. Problem is I am not sure what to train in... I am going to use a runestaff and double leathers...or maybe 8x AsG 10 stuff I just bought from Virilneus.

I havent hunted as a pure yet, but it is time I get him out and do it. I want to boneshatter and eventually cast web bolts and use wands supplement.

what am I doing wrong? Should i dump the extra ranks in empath list for Lores?

IF i am really screwed up, i have until 20 JULY to use my last stat reallocation and instant migrate skills.

:wtf:

oh, the lack of MnE spells will be made up in following levels and missing spells can be cast on him by my rogue (knows up to 120 in MnE)

Going the hunter route?

[Lord Orbstar]

ya.

[TheLastShamurai]

My Empath is Level 13 right now, and I've been doing...

1x Shield
2x PT
1x MIU {Working towards 30ish}
2x Spell Aiming
1x HP
1x MMC
1x SMC {Working towards 30ish}
1x Summon Lore
1x Manipulation Lore
2x Spells

Any extra points I have go to Armor and Telepathy Lore {trying to get 5 ranks}.

I've been pwning things with Bone Shatter, the only real problem I've been having is mana, so I keep an alt with me for a mana battery. Which is also the only reason I've bothered with SMC.

Step 1, reroll with a name that doesn't suck.

[Methais]

Why did you train in shield use if you're going to be using a runestaff?

[Gan]

I'd recommend shield/brawl for empath.

I tested my old capped empath on everything from ranged, sword/board, pure runestaff to shield/brawl.

The last combination rocked everything else I tried.

[Lord Orbstar]

So if I go shield/brawl, should I drop MIU and Arcane Symbols totally?

and, yes, I know the name sucks

[Gan]

I dont own the empath anymore, but let me search to see if I had his skill list posted here.
