Awesome thanks Sarge... We should amend this a little, can we also get stats with and with out items equipped? As an example Rangers only need a max Wis of 14 to cast all spells they can know - if your Ranger already has a Wis of 12 we'll get you a +2 tome and open up the helmet for some thing else.....
Anyone else putting up stats? I know it's a pain but if we know who has what when we quest we can keep and eye out for better items or do some horse trading with each other now.
Looking at Saaarge, I can see right now I need to replace my rings with a + as much as possible protection ring and + as much as possible constitution.
I thought heal helped me... it would appear it doesn't. Only just got the +3 wisdom, need to find higher. As you can all see... I suck at this game! ;-)
Nope - like we talked about Bubba - Heal is for your + chance to add to the heal kits and how much healing you receive from shrines. Has nothing to do with your & of healing.
For that you want Adore items which boost your healing or Potency which boost all your spells. You also want to put Enhancement in to Prayer of Incredible life, and a few others. (Give me a day - can't log on right now to look them up but will post tomorrow)
Metamagic Maximize puts all your spells to maximum (Damage or healing) but costs 25 extra SP per cast.
Metamagic Empower Healing adds 50% to what ever heal you cast at an extra 15 SP
Metamagic Empower adds 50% to any spell you cast at an extra 15 SP
You can (and I do with Vic (Durrzo has Max with Superior Potency Scimitar)) heal with Maxamized, Empowered Healing, Empowered spells for healing that cost an extra 55 SP per cast but hit for Maximized healing hit dice +50% more than the max amount and then add another 50% to that amount.
Find you a Superior Adore or Superior Potency and that will add another 50% on top of all the boosts from above and like Durrzo your cure lite wounds which should heal for 1d8 hits for 130 HP......
We'll work on it and get you there if you want to.
Also I'll check my stash - I think I may have some higher "+" goodies for you. (Tomorrow)
I think your belt is ok. Getting a SR 15 on any useful item is decent. I'm at a SR of 13.
There are not a lot of bracers worth while. One thing you might do is get some bracers of Ogre Strength +5 or +6 as AC bracers don't stack with Armour. Once you do that, you can free up gloves for something else. Depending on your Dex, it might help your AC.
BTW, do you use a Shield? I get 50% buff to my 3rd level and lower healing spells with my shield.
As for your Necklace, keep it on your when you need to swim, but for everything else, I suggest a Necklace of Protection +5. That will stack with your AC on Plate. Getting a +5 boost to AC is worth it.
Duck, what types of items get Adore and Potency? I can't recall ever seeing those.
All weapon types can have Adore and Potency - I have a pair of Scimitars - one is +5 Superior Potency VIII - 8t level and lower spells are boosted 50% (Damage and healing - all spells that have effect are boosted) and the other hand a +3 superior spell penetration scimitar which (obviously) adds +3 to my DC check to overcome the targets spell resistance.
I have also seen rings, helmets, shields and gloves also Atomm. You hardly see the see superior potency as they work well for all classes Claeric, Wiz, Sorc, FS, Pal.... Adore is Cleric.
A guy I run with in Meridia offered me the pair for 50 K plat - he retired a Drow Sorc that used masters touch so he could use all standard weapons with out penalty - he no longer needed them and asked if I'd like them before he sold them on auction..... Um.....HELL YA!
I think I'm going to add all levels of spell penetration enhancements (I have 14 unused Enhancement points...) and exchange a feat to get greater Spell Penetration from Fred which will add another +2 or +3 (Forget which)
It can't hurt - the +3 Scimitar does make quite a difference but I do notice some of my spells bounce off things in Meridia - having to cast twice or three times to land a spell is bad use of SP out there.
But keep an eye out they go quick when auctioned. Mine are level 16 swords so maybe the Superior ability starts at 16? I think the classes are lesser +5%, standard +10%, greater +20%, super +30% and superior +50%. (Both Adore and Potency)
I have seen frequently Lesser, standard and less frequently greater in the AH. Occasionally see super on the trade channel - my superior I have never seen up anywhere until I was offered it form Trellif when he sent me that tell while we were PUG'ing together.

Meant to add Bubba - take the Cleric spell Spell Resistance or Spell Resistance Mass. They are base spell resistance 13 + level of caster so your SR will be 27.
I have just taken SR Mass for us so I will provide SR 30 next time were together... That will free up your belt slot.
If you can afford it (slot wise) look for a Planular Gird belt (or we can farm for it from Xorian cipher) it add +2 to your AC from chaotic characters and also adds +2 to your saves also from Chaotic casters.
Chaos Guard bracers also do the same AND add +2 dodge bonus on top of that. (Dduck uses the Bracers and Bbender the Gird)
After you left last night Bubba I pulled a +2 (or +3) spell pen scepter for lvl 7 and below spells - sent it to you in the mail, Like I said put it in your off hand as a quick slot pair so you'll have the superior potency club and the spell pen scepter - your heals are boosted and so is the penetration of your BB (comet fall, Flame Strike) along with it's damage.
That's the exact pair I run but on my Scimitars. Works real well.
Weapons yes but we still do not have what he has as equipment.
Also you need to be VERY CAREFUL if you are creating a BLANK green steel for someone else.... as once you LOOK at them once you create them, they BIND - so YOU may end up with a blank +5 Scimitar and not be able to give to Atomm.....
Just be real careful what you do while your creating the blank GS item.
Atomm if you could - post up what you have for equipment on your toon.
No - no way at all - I write it on paper and then type it in. Your Holy swords are good bordering on VERY good - in fact I'd like to try some of them my self.... but compared to Green Steel..... not so pretty good.
They may equal a mediocre Tier 2 sword but a well planed out Tier 3 - nope. Then again you can cast holy sword spell and you got one - we have yo grind grind grind to get components to make a GS item..... so there - you win hands down and makes the HS much more desirable.
And no list to compare items to though we can link named item loot tables to see what you can shoot for and where they drop... so we can plan on running them for the items were looking for.
Remember "some" of the loot is in quests behind our level now - so farming is very easy to access.
