    I just want some opinions on this template and stats.... his agenda is to roam through dungeons waiting til his mark is below half health, then finish them off and take whatever coins and goods are worth taking. Are there any better adjustments I can make to have him more viable?

    Poison is useless and stealth is useless

    It looks like fun for sure!

    I myself was planning on making one, however I had this template in mind.

    Hiding
    Stealth
    Tactics
    Anatomy
    Archery or Mace Fighting
    Healing
    ~70 Magery
    ~30 Tracking

    85 Str
    90 Dex
    45 Int

    With pots and moments of surprise, I think it could be fun :)

    Stealth is for the surprise factor and being able to choose exactly the best moment to attack.
    Poison will allow me to be able to apply dp by weapon or by casting and I plan to wield a kryss.

    If I was <50% hp and someone randomly appeared out of nowhere to apply a charge of DP and followed it up with a MB or w/e, consider me dead. lol. Fun build idea.

    it maybe better for you to run with a long spear that way you might be able to get a para blow your first hit and the target won't be able to run away

    He could stealth up and then mount an ethy before the attack...

    Id tend to agree with @scuba. Use an alt to poison several kryuss and have a macro for loading each one. Add resist and tactics? instead of poison and stealth.

    Mage
    Medi
    Eval
    Wrest
    Anat
    Hiding
    Stealth

    Stealth up, wait for the right moment, stun punch, exp, xpot, fs...might work!

    Definately use an alt for poisoning. You can return home and have them poison the weapon between runs.

    Mounting an ethy takes way too long on top of the target. You would have to stealth away and mount in which time they would have most likely regained their lost health.

    Make a stealth mage.
    hiding, stealth, magery, meditation / done with skills necessary to fit it's purpose in 400 points


    Come out of hiding casting gate travel and yell, "U WON PRIZE! PLEASE STAND BY! ZOMG U SO LUCKY!"


    Gate in your red.

    So you’re going to stealth in on foot, up to a mounted player, pop out and swing for a 50% chance to hit, and then an even less of a chance to actually apply poison IF you do land the hit, and then cast a spell, hoping they don’t have reflect up (which they almost always do), and somehow expect to get the kill when literally the moment you pop out and swing your target will be taking off on mount. Granted you do land a poison hit, there’s a very high probability that a single cure pot (which just about every person I’ve come across when pk’ing has) will cure the poison. As you load a spell, they’ll be long gone and casting recall.

    You won’t enjoy this template unless you’re targeting mountless miners.

    Honestly, the only viable way to play a stealth pk is by either..

    a) grouping with a couple other stealth pk’s

    b) using some kind of stealth archer mage to pick off someone who is already being hurt from a MOB and you know their reflection is gone, or..

    c) using bolas to dismount then attack...if bolas existed here..which they don’t. So yeah.

    I hope the “mounting an ethy” recommendation was a joke. By the time you mounted it, your target would be gone.

    Well it’s not like you’re going to stealth in and bam! They’re at half life. :rolleyes:

    You’re going to be waiting to surprise them. But maybe I’m wrong, there could be some unknown trick to cause half life when you show up.

    Exactly. He is choosing option b) and would like template advice.

    His quote "his agenda is to roam through dungeons waiting til his mark is below half health, then finish them off".

    I was considering this, but having stealth without poison almost seems sinful.

    what? My point is that mounting your ethyl takes too long. I’m not sure what you’re suggesting.

    Ok that doesn’t change the fact that stealthing up to a half life target with a poison weapon still wont be very effective considering you’re banking on actually landing a poison hit, in which case, hit or miss, your target is mounted and you’re on foot. They’re long gone before you can cast a finishing spell. I think you would be better off using a heavy xbow and hoping for a big shot at a distance if your tactic is to stealth around looking for half life farmers. It just seems to me that it’s not very viable.
