Should i bother with alchemy on this kit?

[roflcopter]

I paid quite a lot and i would be gutted if i messed anything up, id like to know whats worth doing alchemy wise, as being SOS the stats are raised anyway. Obv i will go for more crtitical on the sheild and blocking ratio on the blade, i wondered about adding strikes to the blade as attack rating is quite high as is. I would love to +4/5 the blade, i got a bunch of elixirs, any lucky places to do the alchemy?

Any thoughts/recommendations will be appreciated.

If I were you, I wouldn't touch it. Get your Int/str elsewhere it would suck if you messed it up.

I sometimes hate alchemy, but SoX items I try to alchemise a lot cos I want some items to be as good as possible. But it is all about preferences.

If you are feeling lucky, don't do it.

i couldnt resist! i managed to get a 60% durability increase on the sheild, im happy with that but for the life of me i cannot find penetration 6th tabs or discipline 6th tabs either :/ Im extremely tempted to try and +4 the blade, i have quite a few elixirs and will spend silk on astral once its there (a poss +5.....maybe.....prolly not).

I also +3'd my SOS chest armour from +2, it was clean when i bought it. I also added steady and parry ratio 30% increase to that, when i +2'd it i also took the int 1 to int 4, so a very succesful item there.

Previous to this id had 6 stones and 2 elixirs fail over the weekend on other kit, but i found a good alchemy place in DW with next to no lag. It wasnt that i was going to do it anyway and asked the questions here for no reason at all.......i just got bored but thankyou for your suggestions
