A friend talked me into coming to Uth a few weeks back and i'v been grinding away at several toons. I think i want to focus on my shadowblade but have a few questions. I figured i would create an account on here and ask some questions instead of just searching under anonymous login.

1. Spec? Ive searched the forums, googled for info, and asked anyone who would offer help. So far most are suggesting 50 LA, then fill in the blank. From what ive read LA mechanics arent the same as i remember on live. Does 50 LA not work like DW/CD mechanics? At the moment im nearing wilton and want to decide on a final spec. The three specs i'm tossing @ are

39 LA, 36 st, 36 env, 34 cs, 34 (weapon) - full AT
50 LA, 36 st, 36 env, 21 cs, 31 (weapon) - full AT
50 LA, 36 st, 36 env, 10 cs, 36 (weapon) - full AT

Axe or Sword MH?

The only reason i worked the second spec in was for ease of popping bubble. Opinions? Suggestions?

2. Template? I looked through all 17 pages of the mid sc templates and it looks like a lot of the drops are not available now? Does anyone have a template that they currently run? I have loki (1.4, right?) installed but its a beast to try to figure out a 5 spec sb template unless i have some kind of starting block. I've heard moras is easier to work out, but i dont have the db and couldnt find it with google.

Friend was gracious enough to set me up with an allowance for template. From research i was thinkin i could build a decent template for @ 30-50p?

Any help would be appreciated.
