There are good setups here, but it is obvious most people don't know at all what they are talking about here and are just repeating over and over things they have read over the Internet... without actually playing an SH lol

For example, it is a bit meaningless to talk about SH Dyes without talking of the associated Armor, each one makes a unique pair depending on how you play.

The only thing that matter is you have to make a choice between speed and power, with the right balance and eventually some other effects like DEX. It is not stupid to consider a quite slow, but very powerful Dye set (with +4 INT or even +8 INT because of course like some clever people mentioned, you rarely do PvP alone unbuffed except you really want to die !!! SH and SpS are too fragile !!

And in any case what all the geniuses here forget is that SH cannot compete with the speed of SpellSingers so it is a bit stupid to try to mimic the SpellSinger speed whereas it not at all the best skill of SpellHowlers !!!! You will only end up with a Sps-like SpH, just less good anyway loool If it's your case just make an Sps and don't bother with Sh ! morons

And be careful with the - MEN effects because at -8 MEN your mana regeneration totally fall apart, so it is difficult too solo xp at low levels if you don't have a dual box.

But I agree with Icarus the general setup works well with most robes, -9 MEN is to avoid absolutely ! prefer some WIT because it will give you nice critcal power at a lesser MEN cost. Also totally agree with Kent here we see real active SH knowing what they are talking about.

lol
SH? outrun an adventurer? that can't possibly happen even if you put +5 to dex. it will only happen if you have wind walk 2, serk 2, using DC set (or any other set which adds speed), song of wind and your adventurer has no speed buffs. but what are the chances? i'd prefer to have a BD with my SH than a SWS.
we all know that daggers have HIGH speed, specially when fully buffed.

okay clever dude .. now listen here!
1)explain that +8int thing.. i dont get it
2)morons?i dont think we are
3)mp reg?u have never never NEVER played sh class..SH doesnt relay on his fking mpreg u smartass..all know that btm+hp potions spam=Spellhowler's mana regeneration..
and as u mentiond SH is NOT SPS.. so no resting like sps..

and all of u are just bunch of kids that waste their time here.. whats the fking problem?there are 2 dye combinations for sh
+4wit+4int+4con
and +4wit +5INT not +5 wit as u mentioned because u will get more matk compared to cast spd that will give u 1wit..
and wtf? u r talking about +dex?may i remind u not all players around play IL+ chronicles?So mages with CDL are still IN and cdl power as i said already depends on the % hp in the moment of casting of general hp
read above and u will find my post explaining this
ALSO sph is not such an efficient SLOWER so dex dyes are NOT for him..
the sps with his slowing skills MAY use +DEX dyes but no other mage should do it... except he has some long range Slow debuff augumentation on his weapon...thats all

dude i dont care r u his fanboy or what but listen up here
the smart se will chose mobs that will allow him not to run out of mana
sh and necro are able NEVER to rest if controled smart...

and even he means demons set what has demons set to do with pvping with buffs?buffed cspd oriented sh will mostly rape matk oriented sh..dont forget that cast interruption is still possible

and nobody skips +wit because its usefull in pvp 2.
dont try to be smartass..we already know all the shit u said and it was said on the previous pages 2..

well, imho player who goes out of town without WW is not worth being called player, so much for that. Some people do not like zerk, but I do, and I like it very much... and since zerk2 is even in most CHs... about sets, well, for mass pvp some people prefer NM which doesn't add speed, but there you usually don't run. Daggerists usually don't use zerk, because it takes more than it gives to them. and the song... it is good to have it, but not necessary. When you see dagger turning dash on it means he can't cancel your casting, so you can use slow (lands well on them), which practically cancels the dash, and without it you have about 2 speed more...

sh cant outrun a dagger...no way.. sps is able to do that,necro is able too but not sh
