[Macefighting] Mace and shield - How much healing is good enough
Keeping both archery and mace makes no sense

He only has 5 in Archery... it's scrolled for 120 but I suspect he swaps out Mace for Archery when the content calls more for a ranged attack.
Duh didn't pay attention

Keep in mind, if you're using a shield and you have bushido, there is a penalty for that. What weapons are you using with this build?
I think your anatomy, resist spells and healing are currently fine. If you're going to be a melee fighter, get that Mace Fighting to 120 and get Archery to zero. If you still have ample points left over, put them into Resist Spells.
Thanks, Merlin.
This is my mace.
I use the shield because it gives some stats and the 10% SSI. I will remove the shield to see how it goes.

You should either use a 2 handed weapon or drop Bushido completely. Put your amounts in the parry calculator to see why.
UO Stratics - Parrying
I don't understand why bushido if you're not gonna be a sampire a straight pally macer one of the strongest melee builds
You have to decide Shield or no Shield, and Bushido stays or goes.
He can still use that weapon, without a shield and have the benefits of Bushido.
I use Chiv instead of Resist. In this event I stay in Beetlescape use a beetle tali have EoO on beetles.
Alternate weapon is a Fire Undead Slayer. Just run around the circle path and kill stuff as fast as you can.
No Dragons or Demons there unless you bring them in.
@T_Jones What is your name on LS?

Char is Jordan.
I use mace and shield which literally disabled the stance of Bushido (both confidence and counter strike won't work) as parry is messed up. However the added stats and the 10% SSI from the shield still allow me to hit like crazy with perfection and spamming lightning strike + AI. It's my first melee build and I don't have another build which can kill faster in the Feudal Lands event with comparable survivability.
I tried to make a video for it. lol.

Cool. I have seen Jordan in chat. They call me Allen because I use many diff names in events.
The hammer pick is pretty fast. You could find 10ssi jewels on Atlantic that just have 1 other stat and imbue other things on those. Sux not to have the epaulettes. Use the 5 SSI city buff.
I and others can bring things from Atl to LS.

@T_Jones you can find SSI rings like the first on Atlantic for 5M. He has the 10SSI with 1 property for 7M.
Imbue what you need on the blank one.
You need 150 dex to use bandages fast so you probably have decent Stamina.
For the Hammer pick to swing at full speed you just need 180 Stamina and 20SSI.
For WW you can use the whip, Macing only has 2 WW weapons. The whip is the same speed as a hammer pick.
You should easily be able to get that stamina and speed and not use the shield, so you can use the benefits of Bushido.
Britches of Warding and Ozymandias Obi are two cheap items to build the suit around. Then you have spots on the Jewels to make the stats you need.
This suit is made from 5 armor 190 luck pieces, the only shard bound item is the Serpent skin quiver.
He is wearing a beetle slayer talisman so nothing comes from that.
If I can craft a suit that swings a composite bow or any melee weapon at max speed, you should be able to throw together enough to not need the shield.

Unless you are playing in Winter Spur you rarely use WW. You can use the Bushido WW while you try it without a shield.
If he's not a sampire ww not as important
Why? If you are surrounded like we are in many events, you use that special the most. We happen to be doing an event with spread out mobs except in one area. If he is not in Winterscape he can just use his one weapon.

Slightly Crazed
Cleanup warrior jewelry set have luck and cannot be worn out. My choice for events or for toons I don't want to spend time tailoring their gear.
I went for mace and shield because the best weapon I could find for my build is the Divine Sanctifier from the Feudal Lands event.
I managed to imbued an OK weapon for swords, using up all my runic hammers. So I hopped back to swords, as it seems that Lightnight strike + double strike hits harder, and with the two-handed weapon I am a true Samurai now. lol.
