    My point is it’s a waiting game. Stealthing is slow and having to wait for the right moment leave loads of time to mount. He’s not runnning in like a regular pk.

    You recommended this. And I said I hope this was a joke because that would be completely pointless. The moment you try to mount your ethy you become unhidden, and are frozen for the 3-4 seconds it takes to mount. The person would be long gone..

    My bad, didn’t realize mounting an ethy would reveal you. They must have change that because I used to do that all the time(osi/ea). Not stealthing but suiting up after a big fight hidden.

    That’s not how it works here. As soon as you try to mount you’re immediately revealed. Otherwise, yeah, I would run a stealth pk too.

    Now that's settled, if you're still looking for an element of surprise with your pking ... I think my earlier suggestion is more relevant now than ever.


    G'luck and have fun.

    I say we just disable mounts (riding), give archery a special ability like the other weapons classes (something like a chance to land a “piercing shot”), drop the max allowable pet control slots so tamers can only have a dragon and mare instead of 2 damn dragons and a mare, cap max MInd Blast damage from 40 down to 30, and reduce stun/para blow timers from 4 down to 3 seconds. Man...talk about making things fun/interesting.

    In this world, much more than your poison stealther would be viable.

    I would LOVE to see all templates viable. That would be so fun just the diversity alone.

    Sounds fun -in theory-, but I anticipate a lot of staring at the screen waiting for their health to be low. And still many times you will land the blow a few milliseconds after their self heal hotkey has completed a Greater Heal -DOH!-

    Hopefully that one time when you get the kill and get to upload the video will compensate for all that waiting :)

    It would be a troll template pretty much. While fun, not at all viable. Most people farm with tamers and all they have to say is "all guard me" and you're toast. You should try a thief. I've been having more fun on UO than I've had in quite a while playing mine during this event.

    Also I am totally betting on farmers not being as prepared for deadly poison as well as pvp'ers are. And also hoping the poison tick interrupts the recalling.

    Don’t take that bet. DP isn’t as deadly as you think. 9 times out of 10 it’s easily cured on the first try.

    I tell you what. Just forget what anyone else says. If you really want to know if it will work, make the template, and give it a go. If it works, great. If it’s not what you thought it would be, then you at least have some first hand experience with how things work around here. You may learn something.

    It would be amusing to give yourself an NPC name and dress accordingly. Also would be fun to make your kill log public and post a link here when you get started.

    Maybe I will try wrestling and anatomy and only attack dexxer farmers with stun and mindblast, hoping they don't have balanced stats on their peace dexxer.
    The dmg that mindblast does is insane, so if I catch them half life, two mind blasts should end them.

    The Bogeyman is coming! I do see one major problem, I thought stun punches only took 15 stamina away per attempt? Mine is taking half!
    stats are
    90
    35
    100
