Tattos for a Warcryer

I box a WC with my Destroyer. This is really fun in the cats, where I not only use the WC buffs, but I also attack with both toons, the WC using a dagger. However, the WC is a lot more prone to stun and sleep attacks than the Destroyer. I know when I can get my hands on Majestic robes they will help against stun. Still I think I am going to have to up the CON to just generally keep her going against whatever mobs we come across. This leads to tatoos, as far as I know, and I'm womdering if anybody has any suggestions for which tatoos to get?

For pure buffing/assisting
+CON - STR
+WIT - MEN

If you still wanna fight with your WC as well =
+CON - DEX
+WIT - MEN
+STR - DEX

Orcs have no DEX to start with so might as well nerf it to hell.

+5 WIT for sure then you might want a +4 STR/DEX or no both with changing the melee stats.

I have a WCer and this is my setup

No tats, Doom light(going DC light once I can afford it) Soul Separator and doom shield. My sub is a sws so he crits alot with the dagger.

Around 68+ the WCer can do full buffs in one go. But until then you have to off set your buffs.

My current stats are +3DEX/-3STR and +4WIT/-4MEN. Boost to DEX is needed if you want to use dagger. If you would go to a 2-hand sword or 2-hand blunt, I guess you can skip the +DEX and go for +CON/-STR or -DEX. Although, I doubt that +CON will really help you resist much stuning in the catas (a TK I often party with, gets stunned a lot too). Majestic robes should be more helpful.

All good advice. Regarding CON, I know the Destroyer gets stunned in the cats a lot less than the WC. But, knowing what AndreasK has observed, I might have to get the WC CON up on a level close to the Destroyer to get some real stun resistance, and that probably is not possible with tattos. And, since I use a dagger, yeah, maybe I'm better off to go with +DEX/-STR, and just get Majestic robes for stun resistance.
Is WIT what gives more resistance to sleep?

Yes. And your Mdef (which is quite high).

nerfing the DEX like that would make the WC close to useless for any PvE if you ask me. they already got low accuracy, and nerf it with another, what, -8 accuracy? would make you swing 75% in the air.
Im no WC pro, and I have some problems myself to chose tatoos for my WC, but I think I may end up getting +wit/-men and stay with that. maybe later on go with -str/+con, I will have to think about that again tho.

no both those Are men. Wit is all Cast speed.

WIT
Increases chance of magic critical hits, casting speed, resistance to Hold, resistance to curses (such as HP degeneration, decreased HP recovery rate, increased skill re-use time, and decreased effect of heals).


taken from the library section on this site.

Yes, I read that in the library. And it raises the question, what exactly are the various forms of Hold attack? Is Sleep one form of Hold? Or is there only one kind of Hold attack?

I wouldn't worry about your con. There are enough places where the mobs don't stun to make the stun factor a non factor(especially in catacombs). As for going -dex... Personally I hate slow classes seeing how my main is a dwarf. lol Basically anything that slows run speed I look down on.

if your worried about sleep resist... just buy waking scrolls :)

what about for a overlord? im re rollin one i was gonna make a tyrant but i heard as far as 1 vs 1 pvp OL's would own a tyrant so im guessing there better at pvp(i dont know though i always though as OL to be more of a support/cp heal class in pvp then a DD but lately ive heard different)
