I don't know how you get your numbers, but on an elf (no JOAT) with 30MR and 40LMC, I will run down my mana even with occasional casting on top of Consume. WoD is not sustainable for long even without anything else.
Hmmm... that kinda confuses me... Whats your real taming/lore skill at? And do you also carry Med on that char?
Depends on what you are hunting really. There are times that the property is totally useless for a tamer.. but if the tamer runs spawns it is really advantageous to have. well... as long as that tamer loves spamming area effect spells like Essence of Wind at any rate. I am seldom off my Cu (or Naja just stays in tow) until the 3rd and 4th side.
My skills are all at 120 and there is no Med, but that's what I mean by gearing your template to mana gen and not being able to do much else.
Ahhh ok. That explains it I guess. I am currently running gm'ish med on that char with m32... but only 95 taming and 110ish lore.
Sounds like it was a spellcaster...
Oh yes, what is your Favourite pet, it's OP, must be nerfed.
There was this thing called the Pet Revamp, the biggest update to UO in the past couple of years. Maybe you heard about it?
I agree, and yes, the 30 HPR cap is way too much of a nerf!
Problem is you can't just tank most anything in the game. The easy solution would to be to give the high end stuff 50% elemental damage, preferably cold damage
And balance has been achieved without pissing a lot of people off.
So whats your solution for a sampire? Spam confidence and ai and you can tank just about anything. Toss 30 ss for occasional curse weapon and confidence isnt even needed.
Ummm... the only time a Sampire really stands a chance at dying is when something pops them with Blood Oath
Yeap about the only thing that gets me. That and the freeze monster.Ummm... the only time a Sampire really stands a chance at dying is when something pops them with Blood Oath
On your sampire???
Why nerf a perfectly viable template that someone can use?
Id deffo leave the game if they touched the sampires, as its one of the few temps left there that are viable to do stuff on your own and not have to depend on others.
Why not? Since they nerfed everyone else out of most content... they ought to level the playing field some.
The exact same logic applies to the Tamer Template my favorite to play is a 120 tame 120 lore 100 archery 100 tact 100 med 120 Spellweaving, 80 mage template. After jewels I am up to around 800 total points, run a 70s 2240 luck suit with max MR and 40MI and 30-50 SI It is a very effective solo template and does not leave me at the mercy of finding a group.
Nobody is saying there was only one template for solo play...or hell, even for group play.
Great idea. Let's go back to the pre-buffed Champ Spawn stats so even a tamer can kill them in 5 minutes with their souped-up pets. Why should a player, who has put the time in to building their suit, working skills, and whatever else, just to be nerfed so an inferior template is on a level playing field?
You are really complaining because a pet can get +10 to one resist? That makes them OP?hey guys, if you have problems keeping your pet alive since Consume Damage has been "fixed".
Just put necro on your tamer and corpse skin your 90% physical resistance pets so they reach 100% physical resist, then you don't need to spend mana on something useless like consume damage. (until that gets fixed)

Edit: this pet has not even gone through the leveling process yet (still 3/5)... game's too ez.
Sounds like the sampire is the overpowered template. Not the Tamer.
If it allows the pet to reach 100% of the most common damage type in the game? Absolutely.
Show me where I said it was?
)... I posted it because Necromancy hurts most pets more than it does to help them.
Thanks for clarifying. You are just trolling.Show me where I said it was?
Hey, you know what else only works with physical damage? Consume Damage, 100% physical resistance > consume damage... It's not rocket science, It's UO.
I didn't post it for that reason though (it just looks like i did
How did you get ABE off of TC? lolololhey guys, if you have problems keeping your pet alive since Consume Damage has been "fixed".

So what exactly is the malfunction with tamers being able to do things a bit more quickly and still not nearly as quick as a Sampire?
So a tamer's pet should be able to do the same amount of damage that a player can? I have multiple whammies (most of them ranged) that can hit for 200+ with Armor Ignore simply by equipping two slayers. To reach that damage, I had to max out both Anatomy and Tactics at 120, put max DI on my suit, etc. I'll even go a step further: One of those was converted from a sampire because of the Doom revamp, so I can also whirlwind during Champ Spawns when using that character.
Yes a Tamers PET is his WEAPON.... so YES it ought to be able to do the damage with the Tamer that any other template can.... No Tamed beast hits for squat.... let alone 200+ with AI ..... Rare if ever.... and they can't maintain it as Pets don't have suits full of MR, LMC, And such....
Yeah except YOU get another 500 skill points on top of that to add things like spellweaving, magery, blah blah
Why not they nerf the crap out of all my templates making them useless all the time... I'm just saying it's about time they do it to sampires as well so we are all in the same boat.
Since they are so easy to make and deal massive damage, yep they really do need to look at nerfing your easy button game style.
I bet your scrolls didnt cost as much as they do now... I have many scrolled pets and more that are hungry for scrolls.
Easy button? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That you're saying that makes one thing clear: You don't play either a sampire or a whammy. Unless you're fighting specific monsters (Executioner, Shadowguard bosses, monsters that don't do 100% physical damage), you can keep any pet alive with ONE ability. If you want a one-button playstyle, I'm pretty sure it's the tamer you're looking for. Oh, sorry, 2 buttons. I forgot tamers need to hit their "all kill" macro too.
The few scrolls I used on pets didn't cost me a thing, actually. Nor will any of the scrolls I might use on pets in the future. There's only two scrolls that are worth it anyway: 120 Wrestling, plus you'll want 120 Resist for a pvp-oriented pet.
All of those other skills a tamer can use are to support the few required skills of a tamer.
Oh please sammies and whammies are the easiest builds, easiest to play, and deliver the most damage, while having the best defense and yes I use a sam template quite often when I just want to hit on macro key now and then to heal. You can run imbued junk and be better than effective in PvM and have very little risk of ever dying. Toss a cameo on and pick up a halfway decent weapon and you are good to go. The skills requires can all be trained up in a day or two. Less if you eat the pinkies. And the templates are decent in PvP as well with better gear. Don't know who you are trying to BS here.
Which is the point. But it's still not as easy as a tamer: All kill, turn on consume damage if available, heal when/if necessary. Sampire/Whammy: Armor Ignore/Whirlwind, healing yourself, curing poison (whether through bandages or chiv), Evasion, Curse Weapon. Why nerf something that requires more active player input? Not to mention that pets can tank things that a player can't.
