Squig Herder Survivability

[Goreshock]

Since most of the High RR Squig Herders are mixing several sets to get more ballistic skill, are you using talisman slots for wounds, armor, toughness?

[lemao]

No, they use WS talis mainly.

But remeber you want wounds in vicinyty of 9k

This is the second post i read today talking about 9k wounds for the SH ( viewtopic.php?f=71&t=49359 ).
But how the f...k do you reach 9k wounds on your RSH ?
I'm RR 81, still in invader for now, with full RR in wounds, and i just have around... 6.5K HP.
Do you reach those 9K hp with the end game gear sets ?

You want to mix sets for the stat bonuses. Only with warlord/sov/triumph sets you should aim for the 4 pieces+ bonuses as you might have experienced, you will lack either wounds or something else and be very squishy.

Sent jewel + head + hand gives good stats and wounds buff. Also you can mix in some Bloodlord for good ws & wounds buff with 2/3 pieces.

RR points should go into 3x futile strikes and the rest into crit%, WS, parry and/or dodge according to your playstyle.

well i belive the idea behind 9k wounds, is that some dps can reach 7-8k burst/3 sec. So with little toughness and light armor defences Wounds are the only defence.

I`m aproaching slowly rr80 and same issue bothers me. I usually run Msh so having armor grants some extra HP but in range mode i only have like 7500 HP.
What I came up with MixMaxing tool is:
Helm..........Sentinel
Shoulders.....Sov Main
Cloak..........Sov Main
Body...........Triumphant
Gloves.........Sentinel
Belt............Triumphant
Boots..........Triumphant
Jewel 1.......Genesis Aspect
Jewel 2.......Genesis Remnant
Jewel PVE....Sentinel + crit
Jewel PVP....Sov Main
Weapon M....Bloodlord Stabba
Weapon O....Fortress Shoota
Specing 3 Furtile Strikes, 3 Range Crit, 3 Parry, 3 Dod/Dis and using RangeCrit/Wounds liniment you can sit at 9000 HP in range mode.

I think that's basically my setup as well except I am using Fortress spear and Bloodlord bow (AFAIK low weapon speed -> higher range of damage -> higher damage on abilities, but I heard that this might not be true. Would be glad if anyone knows any reliable answer to this).

When it gets ugly and I need more survivability I usually spec 3FS, 3-4wounds and rest in crit% + dog/dis.

AFAIK Msh use melee weapon as main so when I planned my sh i wanted Bloodlord as Main. Rsh indeed got Bow as main.

So this intrigued me actually as i have the exact same squish problem... it's quite ridiculous really. WL's 2 shot me and I can't get them to 95% with 1050 ballistic and like 650 weaponskill... So i plugged these into my SH spreadsheet and this is what I got if going for max wounds. Can move a few things around or use RR/talis to cap Ballistics.
