I assume that you dont have protection casted? Wont you fail quite some bit with gm resist as alot if not all your apponents will have a 120 spellcasting skill? I reckon you will need very high if not the highest possible mr mods on your suit? Another question is why 80 dex? Well i can see why you prefer gm anat over 120 wrestle. Can tweak those extra 20 points on med...Well I decided to go for the classical variant.
A parry mage has great defense but lacks offense. I made the template work, with the idea of great defense with decent damage output. I use protection from time to time, it is a judgement spell, you use it when you need to. I do not roll around in protection exclusivly however. With the added defense from parry the idea is to not get hit by archers or dexxers, so if you go big combos, as scribe tends to make more potent, mixed with high defense you get kills. Scribe also helps to lessen the penalty for using protection.
I chose anatomy over wrestle because disarm doesn't help me much, I can "Stun Punch" with a spell called paralyze and I would rather have 10 extra SDI. I run a shield and an open hand so that I can't be disarmed and I can chug potions.
Parry mages are usually all about increases, the mana regen is always a must but the higher the mana pool the better, you use str and agil pots with ep to get your stats ok, and since you have an open hand it's not hard to keep your stats up. It's not a temp to really duel with, it's designed to fight disarm archers mostly.
As for the gm resist, I used a +15 ring and the orc brute talismen gives 5 resist and 7 anatomy, so I was 120 resist, but my real skill was gm. 120 resist is a must for pvp.
And as someone said 80 dex is where you get the most out of parry, I think lynk said go to 87 dex to counter curse which is a great idea since you will be cursed by any decent mage. 80 dex and 120 parry is 35% block with a shield.
The changes should make parry mages more effective, 30SDI with great defense is going to **** a lot of people off. But 40 SDI.. mmhmm sounds awesome I can't wait.
Oh I also used the lights rampart shield, it's the replica with 20 dci and like 15 cold resist, it really makes the suit easier and 20 dci is the best available on a shield.
But I can always change her around a bit..I notice that quite a few want to tweak in inscription..I am just wondering if the 10% SDI bonus is worth the 100 skill points?
