Lvl 12 bear twink.

[Caninusi]

Recently I made Spqri to be my lvl 12 forest haven twink.

First of all, should i be str, dex, or even a dual spec with 32str/32dex?

Also since ill be using 6 skills (correct me if im wrong), which ones should i increase the most? (stomp, rage, taunt ect)

Also, for my helm and armor, ill be crafting it from Burke. When it comes to the weapon and shield, possibly the holiday pinks.
My question here would be which armor would be the best to equip out of the 6 choices? (applies to str and dex armor, str having 4, dex 2)

thanks for your helpful feedback.

IMO, pure dex. At that level hit comes into play a lot (PvE or PvP) so you want as much of it as you can get.

As for the skills, I honestly recommend not spreading em out too much. Max rage no doubt, put 1 in taunt if you feel you need it to grab aggro (I don't think it's necessary though), from there I'd put 3 into stomp, and the rest into SMS, or put the rest into stomp.

For gear. If you can spend plat it'd help a lot. You can buy the legendary lv 10 item pack, and use the jewel thieifs/snipers helm and wing you get from it. For the weap, if you wanna use talon, I'd go with a pink tinsel if you can. Has a slight stun proc and more dmg/DPS (5 more dmg, 7 DPS) compared to the item pack talon at the cost of 3 hit and 2 armor. Personal preference though. For the armor, I'd go with artisan if you can. I'm all for hit on twinks below 20 so just my opinion. Expert is great but it only has 4 armor if memory serves me right (while artisan has 8 armor).

Again, I personally focus on hit and dmg with twinks So you may disagree

I have a level 12 Jewel Theifs Dark Forest Leather, best you can get for lvl 12 twink as they are usually lvl 14. Make an offer if you want to buy.

[Caninusi]

Awesome! Ill make an offer later after i get some more leveling done and gold farmed.

What's the armor on it? Snipers/jewel thiefs from item pack has 7 armor and artisan has 8. I prefer artisan since it has 2 more HS and 4 more hit than JT (3 more hit that sniper), at the cost of 2 crit and 1 MS. So unless the armor boost vs artisan is a fairly big one, id strongly recommend Arty level 5.

I think it has 11/12. I really can't tell which one I like better, leaning towards the arty due to looks.

[KingFu]

Level 14 leather has 11 armor (checked yanis' list). So level 12 has 10 or 11 armor. I still would prefer arty. The hit would come into play a lot, I don't really focus on armor for twinks so that's just my preference

[Caninusi]

Ok. So what you're suggesting is that a go pure dex and use the crafted cap, holiday talon and wing, and the arty armor.
Correct me if im wrong.

Also, let me get to 12 first to see which skills i have and ill comment on that later.

Thanks.

It crafted, the one from the legendary item pack If you're planning to use a talon, I prefer tinsel. Works well, and IMO better than the legendary item pack talon. I can upload screenshots comparing the 2 if you want. And yes, I prefer artisan. I can post the stats on it if ya want.

At level 12 you have vengeful slash, stomp, rage, taunt, crippling slash, super mega slash, and crushing blow.

Edit:

And yea, I persinall prefer pure dex for best performance.

You'll have everything up to SMS, so

VS-Stomp-Rage-Taunt
CS-SMS

You'll also have 11 skill points

I'd go:
1-3-6-0
0-1

I'd put 2 into SMS, rather than 1 into SMS and 1 into vengeful.

me too

[Caninusi]

Posting the stats would be nice.

Having crushing blow makes this interesting. Ill have to think of a proper skill build and I hope it doesnt take as long as it took me to come up with my other bear's build. xD

[Caninusi]

Ok.....but having 2 slashes at 1 would provide me with more dmg.

[Otukura]

The extra point into one is like 10 max damage more. I don't really notice too much of a diff, and I'd rather have an extra chance/more damage.

[KingFu]

Kk. Heres the tinsel vs level 10 sniper talon (from item pack) (I'm half int to use my rose wand, keep in mind tinsel has a slight stun^^)



Here's arty level 5:

[Caninusi]

I think Im going with the tinsel over the item pack.

Just to confirm, you mentioned going pure dex earlier, but you're a dex/int dual spec.

In this case should I still go pure dex??

I'm only dual dex/int to be able to use my rose wand. Just as an option. I'd still strongly recommend going pure dex

How much do you think it should be?

[Riccits]

BUT its to say that peeps like Onemanwarcrew, Sibeiblack, Masterhoon are STR/DEX and uses the armsan/blacksmith plate with success.
