Patch 70 is about to go active. In the patch notes is the following statement...Is anyone able to point me to information regarding Throwing and Parry, and whether there will still be a penalty if I use a shield with 120 Parry? Thanks
Good source on throwing is Throwing - UOGuide, the Ultima Online encyclopediaPatch 70 is about to go active. In the patch notes is the following statement...
Players cannot parry when wielding a throwing weapon and a shield.

I'm glad thats a bug being fixed and not a change, my heart dropped when I read it I checked the UOGuide page but it has no numbers info on the penalty, can I assume that 120 Parry will negate all penalty?Good source on throwing is Throwing - UOGuide, the Ultima Online encyclopedia
The Pub 70 "Players cannot parry when wielding a throwing weapon and a shield." was worded incorrectly and will be updated. It was an existing bug that you could not parry with a shield and throwing weapon equipped which will be fixed in Pub 70.
At 120 Parry you will have a 10% DCI penalty. Example a player has 50 DCI without using parry, shield, and throwing weapon; Their new DCI will be 45 at 120 parry when using a shield and throwing weapon.I'm glad thats a bug being fixed and not a change, my heart dropped when I read it I checked the UOGuide page but it has no numbers info on the penalty, can I assume that 120 Parry will negate all penalty?
Bushido gives a penalty when using a shield anyway, so this doesn't really affect bushido throwers Just don't use a shield.So, parry still doesn"t make sense on a bushido thrower?
10% of current DCI or plain -10DCI?At 120 Parry you will have a 10% DCI penalty. Example a player has 50 DCI without using parry, shield, and throwing weapon; Their new DCI will be 45 at 120 parry when using a shield and throwing weapon.
So we need 78% DCI to have 70% DCI correct?At 120 Parry you will have a 10% DCI penalty. Example a player has 50 DCI without using parry, shield, and throwing weapon; Their new DCI will be 45 at 120 parry when using a shield and throwing weapon.
Nope, you can't parry with ranged weapons.So, parry still doesn"t make sense on a bushido thrower?
I would suggest using no shield and no parry at all on a mystic thrower. Having a free hand is much better for healing stone and potion use.Thanks again. On Uoguide I read you can do something against the penalty if you use parry. I just want it for using a shield. So, I am a bit confused: Just for using a shield and having a decent PVM-Mystic-Thrower - what do you suggest: 0 Parry, 80 Parry, 100 Parry, 120 Parry? I cant find anything...
