PvP Macer Build Help

[Iced_28]

I'm a returning UO player after many years. I'm not familiar with the Bushido/Chivalry/Ninjitsu skills. Which of these are essential for a PvP Macer build?

Currently I have for a prospective build (I'm not worrying about Power scrolls and such, I have no money to buy them at this time)

Anatomy 100
Healing 100
Tactics 100
Parry 100
Macing 100
Magic Resist 100

I am also curious about Healing/Anatomy. How high do these need to be for PvP? I am seeing some say 90/90, others 90/80, others 120/120.

I am considering putting the other 100 into Magery or a combo of Magery (for recall) and one of the special fighting classes (ninja etc...). What would be some good templates to consider?

Most if not all the people that you will be fighting against will have 120 weapon skills so with only GM macing, you're going to be at a big disadvantage. The good news is that 120 macing is relatively cheap on most shards. If your just thinking of using magery for recalling and such then it would be better to go with around 65 chiv and using sacred journey. The magic resist, I would take to 120 or leave off. There are so many ways of counter acting para, curse, blood oath, ect., and most casters are 120 skilled. If you play on Siege, then I have no idea as to what you need. I guess the best bet would be to get into a PVP guild and they can probably help you out with what is the best template for the shard you play on that fits into your UO budget, and most likely they can help you with getting updated gear and scrolls.

Thanks for the info: This is where I'm at then:

Macing 120
Magic Resist 120
Parry 100
Tactics 90
Anatomy 90
Healing 90
Bushido 95

I'm on a new account, and probably won't try to buy a 4 year account, so I will be at a 15pt loss compared to a lot of the builds out there. But those points would just go towards a 6x 120 Build or, in the case of a build like this, won't seem to effect it to greatly. And if I decide to buy an account it means I'm invested enough in my return to UO to care enough to build another toon, and this one will be a solid foundation for learning the new mechanics and building some wealth.

It looks pretty good, when you get a chance you would want to bring your bushido to at least 115 that's where the real power is at. And also dont use a shield if you have bushido your already parrying with your weapon so use a 1-hander so you can use pots as well. There is something called IMBUEing, it actually balanced the game back out and you can add + skills to rings and such.
