Ya I BSed a lot on my bard mage... depending on how 'active' I wanted to be... Also if you drop enough BSes on certain bosses, they won't be able to dispel them fast enough.
True, and if they get poisoned it's that much worse for them because they will try to cure the poison before dispelling.
In OSI UO I only ever had crafters! I wasn't into battling, nor even dungeons, nor mages. You should go ahead and have crafter as your main character, that would be great!
When I first moved here from a different free shard (TSTSNBN/VOLDESHARD) not its real name just a inside joke. I went full out crafting and farmed, and farmed, and farmed resources for the gold I needed for each craft/magery and I did rather well for a while there tell I had to take a long leave of absence due to RL work taking up more of my time. Two years later (for me) and resources are still selling very, very well. Still see plenty of demand for things like studded and normal leather suits, still see plenty of demand for dex suits (iron/shadow/dull etc). Even though I have a nice stash of power/vanq axes for my LJer I still run around with GM weps from time to time. While working my crafter as my main I was working up my first dexxer who is my LJer to feed boards to the crafter for carpentry. And only recently took the time to work up a provo tamer for farming/champs.
