Greetings everyone, i just started 2 days ago, still macroing ( doh! ) i hope i can enjoy with you this shard, i started playing on uo 10 years ago, i played on sphere shards, so things here are a bit different and i'll need a bit of time to understand mechanics, i'm a pvper, i always pked and did a lot of pvp in any shard i went, oh, one question, how is pure warrior here? i mean, no magery, just a pure brutal war, is it viable? useful in groups? those are the skills i'm putting on him for now swordmanship lumber anatomy healing parrying resisting spells stealth? hiding? poisoning? btw, i'll make a mage too so no problem, i love mages on uo, the most skill-needed class See ya in game, cya
Hey Uorya, welcome to the server! I know some people that started on sphere servers and really enjoy it here. I think you will too. To answer your template question- Sure, what you're proposing is fine. You may see group pvp more commonly dominated by groups of mages because they can guarantee their damage and they can do it at range. But lumberjacks are still good and very popular. They just excell at different things. You'll need tactics on that template, it dictates a good bit of the damage you deal with weapons. So you may want to drop parrying or plan for it in your 7th slot. I really believe magery is a crucial skill in this era, so that you can recall, and teleport, and do a number of things. It's nice to be able to cast magic reflect or a clutch greater heal when you can't wait on your bandages. But you can still play without it and many do. Be sure to use the IRC channel to meet people and find out what is going on http://www.uorenaissance.com/irc here is an informative guide to pvp templates http://uorforum.com/threads/pvp-university-pvp-templates.6307/
Welcome to UOR. You'll need tactics, like Mes said, but you won't even want to drop your axe for a shield once you have lumberjacking. Most people have magery as their seventh skill and that's a very popular template but if you're opposed to it a useful standalone skill like hiding or tracking would work.
I've always been partial to the pure warrior template, and found it works pretty well here now. lumberjacks can deal pretty good damage at gm. I'd still have at least 30 pts in magery for resist and using reflect scrolls and so on. Oh, and welcome to the shard!
thanks, just skilling up lumber for now, tit's a shame parry isn't good i already had it to 100 xD well i'll drop it and put tracking/stealth
i think i did a bad thing... i double clicked my hatchet and clicked for error on a wooden box in the bank, it contained more than 11k boards... it's all gone.. please tell me it can be retrieved before i suicide lol.. i spent 2 days logging xD
Parry is okay its just the damage bonus from lumberjacking with a 2 handed axe is awesome. If you die a lot like I do, its a good skill to have lol
The boards should have dropped to your feet when you axed the container. Also, be aware that you need hiding along with stealth.
Welcome to UOR! Make sure you come hang-out in the main channel #Renaissance -- it's the modern day Brit bank!
I played on many italian servers not in an international one, i don't think you know them, i played a little on ipy 2 too and some other international server but osi style run uo, but sphere emulator is the only one i really liked ^^ still, uo is always UO i'm glad i found this server.
