I was reading on this forum, that you couldn't equip dual gelids on a doc, before 190.
I can't remember who wrote it, but I thought I'd take up the challenge.
These calculations are based on the Solitus breed. Opi and Atrox will be added later.
Nanomages look here (curtesy of Futen)
So, without further delay - I give you:
The twinkers guide to equipping dual gelids on a 170 doc.
First some general notes:
Base skills, with maxed abilities:
1 Hand Edged: 619
Fast Attack: 619
Multi Melee: 569
Overview over the stuff you need:
--------------------------------------------------
Items:
- implant set used
- Guardian conductor of Learning used.
- Achromic Ring for the Support Unit (from Ergo, when you go to Adonis)
- QL 150ish Combat Fighter's Manual of Skill
Buffs:
- Essense of Behemoth
- Feline Grace
- Enhanced Senses
- Iron Circle
- Composite Attributes (1 hour)
- Composite Melee Expertise (1 hour)
- Composite Physical Special Expertise (1 hour)
Other:
3 extra perk points (start resetting, if you don't have this )
And now, for the calculations:
--------------------------------------------------
1HE. Goal = 1049
--------------------------------------------------
619 base TL5 cap.
Hard effects:
+ 210 from implants
+ 20 from expertise
+ 132 from wrangle
+ 30 from Guardian Conductor of learning
+ 3 from Close Combat Fighter's Manual of Skill (pretty easy to get, drops e.g. in Ely redeemed temple)
Trickle effects:
+ 3 from composite abilities
+ 4.05 from Behe
+ 3 from Iron Circle
+ 2.5 from Feline Grace
+ 11 from Agil implants
+ 4.125 from Strength implants
+ 6.6 from Stam implants
+ 0.3 from Adonis ring
Total = 1048,575
Throw in some sekutek armor, or whatever - if you didn't get the round-up effect from this.
Also, there's lots of items that adds 1he skill, that I haven't used when twinking.
You can add these items in, if you can't get a ql 200 tower up.
--------------------------------------------------
Fast attack. Goal = 909
--------------------------------------------------
619 base TL5 cap.
Hard effects:
+ 210 from implants
+ 20 from expertise
+ 30 from Guardian Conductor of Learning
Trickle effects:
+ 3 from composite abilities
+ 1.5 from Enhanced Senses
+ 3.75 from Feline Grace
+ 16.5 from Agil implants
+ 5.5 from Sense implants
Total = 909.25
Now, gelids are no fun, if you can't wear 2 of them - so we need to add some Multi Melee.
--------------------------------------------------
Multi Melee. Goal = 904
--------------------------------------------------
569 base TL5 cap.
Hard effects:
+ 210 from implants
+ 30 from Guardian Conductor of Learning
+ 45 from 3 perks in Ambidextrous
+ 20 from Expertise
Trickle effects:
+ 3 from composite attributes
+ 2.7 from Behe
+ 2 from Iron Circle
+ 3.75 from Feline Grace
+ 16.5 from Agil implants
+ 4.125 from Strength implants
+ 2.2 from Stamina implants
Total = 908,275
So... There you go, you can equip dual Gelids on a doc pretty early - at least earlier than the level 190 I was reading about on this forum...
As a final note, I realize not everyone can place a QL 200 Guardian of Learning, but anything goes here really.
I didn't use much armor, for adding skills, so with a lesser tower - and some more added skills from armor, you can still do this.
Also, I wasn't able to get these myself (Neleb was dead every time I tried... lol) - but Gentle hands that drops from Neleb, in Steps of Madness adds 4 to 1he. That could be a helping hand too (pun intented ).
Some of my raw notes, if you wanna read them:
chart | str | sta | agi | sense
------------------------------
1 HE | 30% | 30% | 40% | 00%
Fast A| 00% | 00% | 60% | 40%
Mult.M| 30% | 10% | 60% | 00%
Trickle rule is 25%.
behe 27 str/sta = 4.05 1he, 2.7 mm
ic 20 str/sta = 3 1he, 2 mm
es 15 sense = 1.5 fa
fg 25 agil = 3,75 fa, 3,75 mm, 2.5 1he
perks (ambi lev. 3) = 45 mm
Guardian conductor of learning = 30 1he, 30 fa, 30 mm
agil, str, sta, sense imps:
agil = 16.5 fa, 16.5 mm, 11 1he
str = 4.125 1he, 4.125 mm
sense = 5.5 fa
sta = 6.6 1he, 2.2 mm
