Build advice - Mercenary vs Templar - StrongStabs vs SpellStabs

[Sierra Katrian]

I play a Mercenary at Jericho and I love it. It is fun to just beat the crap out of things. I use simple weapons and spec'd them until I swung 5s, and then I bought all of my class abilities, a slay and a few Frag skills.

There are many ways to go with mercenary, I find them to be incredibly versatile. So I guess it depends on what you want to do.

Magic is really fun too. Keep in mind that Magic runs out, while swords are forever. So if you go full mage, you will be usefull until your spells run out. Templars have the great advantage of always being somewhat useful, in that they can usually swing a weapon when their spells run out.

In our system, you have to purchase magic spheres, one at a time. There are 5 main ones, and each sphere you purchase gets more and more expensive. It is reasonable for a Mage to have 2 spheres of magic, but a templar will likely only ever have 1.

Protections Templars are very popular, and very effective. Protections casters can be money makers if you sell your spells, and you will always have protections for yourself.

I will make some builds for a 3 blanket character and post them here.
