I was using the 30% hci bone helmet - but I will need to make new videos because there have been a bunch of new items released since then. So now I'm just using a regular hat that has a lot of stats, lrc, lmc, hpi, regens, etc. because these toons just keep getting easier to build with all the new artifacts out.
You need 60 skill increase total, and you don't want it in mace fighting or parry skill or your shield bashes wont be as good. I do use 120 mystic, it is important to be able to use bombard frequently instead of waiting for the 'perfect' moment. When you use a bombard, you should try to immediately get the trigger back up so you can use it again after the timer is up.
To answer your question more directly, you don't need 'real skill', as long as you are at 120 mysticism. 'Real skill' only matters for masteries, such as war cry, shield bash, heighten senses, etc. -- There is one exception, a bokuto's nerve strike dmg is dependent on real skill.
@@blackmagic1590 Thanks for the reply and explanation! This looks like like a very fun build. Something different than the ol Bok Mage. I've always like macer but nothing has been as fun as back in the day bashing people and destroying their armor. My macer just sits on the shelf since then.
wow, never saw a pvper on atlantic breaking down his template for people to see here on youtube, very good man, nice work
what headpiece are you using?

You say this character was the nail in the coffin needing 120 real mysti.. and you have 15 on your ring? So you cant do bombard right?
