Hi all— Trying to build a new dexxer for PVM farming, but can't decide between these two builds (SEE THE RED): Fencing100 Tactics90 Healing90 Anatomy100 Music100 Provo100 Poison100 Mage20 (for recalling out) OR Fencing100 Tactics90 Healing90 Anatomy100 Music100 Provo100 RESIST100 Mage20
I wouldn't do poisoning on a PVM dexxer. It seems best on a PVP dexxer (nox fencer). Your 2nd template is similar to what I use for my PvM dexxer and what I've seen others use who do AMIBs and level 7s. I had 100 discordance instead of 100 resist for last Halloween but recently dropped discord for resist in anticipation of doing some AMIBs and Level 7 maps eventually.
Yep, poison is not that great for PvM. Id actually recommend resist at 70 and magery up to 30. With 30 magery you have ~90% recall success rate off scrolls/runebooks.
I recommend dropping resisting spells entirely for GM magery and no meditation if this character is going to roam the UO world / adventure seek. Training has to be pre-planned and toggling your stat and flipping some skills up/down does take a little bit more of your training time but to me it's all worth it. IF the character is going to live purely inside instanced events like AMIB's or L7 maps, then it's a toss up between again, GM magery or GM resist with myself favoring the latter. I personally believe either you GM resist or not at all.
My instance (amib+level 7 tmap) char is close to your top build GM fencing tact anat heal music provo magery
I asked about a similar build recently and someone suggested I do 59.9 tactics (and use +tactics weapons), 40.1 magery, and GM resist.
Do you really need magery in amibs? How does provo lumberjack dexxer do in amibs? (no magery or resist)
How about dropping provo for peacemaking? My dexxer has a great time peacing mobs. Check it out: http://uoplanner.com/share/8rroi/peace-dexxer-macing
I already have a peace dexxer and a provo lumberjack, so I'm looking for a new twist on the bard/dexxer build
