Thanks guys, Corwin I was actually just reading your prior melee archer thread, do you think its still worth to run with 90 swords for the 300 skill pt mana reduction? I'm not running the best suit I could, by far, missing 15% lmc still, but I run out of mana like crazy. I run a vamp form thrower with 90 swords and don't feel like I run out nearly as often. So what do you think about the 90 swords in todays scene.I use:
120 Archery
120 Tactics
120 Anatomy
120 Healing
120 Chivalry
80 Bushido
110 Resisting Spells
With DF on I have 60 SSI with Composite Bow (35% SSI + 48% HML + 3 other mods) and 35 SSI with Yumi (10% SSI + 48% HML + 4 other mods). 48% HML + 55 LMC I usually is able to chain AI/DS doing 200-300 damage every 1.5sec.
So lets say this for a temp300 points helps when you chains AI/DS.
And with sword you can use WW.
Some bosses are easier or faster with sword.
And when you haven't slayer and can't take honor you can leach 2x more mana with a 100% HML axe.
Or perhaps dropping healing to 100 permanently this way its easier for me to swap necro in and out if need be for Vamp, or even do a 40/60 split on necro/ss for wrath.So lets say this for a temp
120 archery
120 tact
120 anat
90 chiv
120 healing
90 bush
that leaves 60 points. as of now the 20 Archery helm is a no go, and ill look around my jewels to see what I have, but what do you think is worth dropping, real skill-wise, for the other 30 swords. maby 110 anat and 100 healing? or 120 anat, 100 healing, 80 chiv?
You're right, that's probably the best course. Ive seen you did a lot of research on reforging, what do you think the easiest way to make 10 stamina items is? horned + powerful? or maybe copper hammers? Itd be nice to make clean items obviously, but getting 10 stam + 1 semi-useful mod would be alright.You need 30 Archery on jewels... and 30 Sword on another jewels. So you may drop 30 archery and get 90 sword.
How are you able to fit all these skills? Do you souls stone the resist for pvp? Also how/what are ya using the Bushido for? sorry for the noob questions just coming back to UOI use:
120 Archery
120 Tactics
120 Anatomy
120 Healing
120 Chivalry
80 Bushido

You use jewels to make up for the skill differencesHow are you able to fit all these skills? Do you souls stone the resist for pvp? Also how/what are ya using the Bushido for? sorry for the noob questions just coming back to UO
do skillpoints from skillincrease items count towards the mana reduction total of 300? I always thought it had to be real skill but I must admit that was just an asumption...The mana reduction from having 100(sword)+100(Archery)+20(headgear)+80(bush) combat skills really helps with chaining AI.
They do, on the other hand skill increase from JOAT does not.do skillpoints from skillincrease items count towards the mana reduction total of 300? I always thought it had to be real skill but I must admit that was just an asumption...
