    Hey there, utter newb here (first post, old player of UO back ~15 years ago, even then not that experienced). I'm intrigued by the idea of a stealth build for pvp, but I am not sure whether it would work. Are there bolas? How does one overcome being on foot rather than mounted? Or am I just totally missing something? Is there a guide someone could point me to?

    Thanks

    It's niche but, I am sure you know that.

    It can be fun if used during preplanned "maneuvers". However used to spontaneously jump someone as solo?

    No



    As part of a team? Sure, again, could be fun.

    Maybe as a stealth DP-er who follows up with a mana dump while they're feverishly trying to cure, but that's counting on them not running away while they spam their cure macro or cure pots.

    Here is how you stealth pvp

    SKILLS:

    1. Stealth
    2. Hiding
    3. Herding
    4. Archery
    5. Tactics
    6. Anatomy
    7. Healing

    PLAN:

    Your stealther will stalk the Destard Dungeon waiting for your next victim you will herd all the dragons and drakes towards your target and when the time is right you will strike out with a heavy x bow bolt and finish your enemy.

    The solution is to be an archer with about five more archers helping you out.

    I made one but learned there's few situations you can really use it in, especially without an ethy mount which new players can't afford. I'm now switching out stealth for something more practical.
