[Magery] Defensive Question

[jtw1984]

Currently I use a mage wep and high DCI as my primary means of defense. I've decided to give in and drop my necro and add on a dread warhorse.

So what to do with these extra skill points?

I was thinking of adding on 80 anatomy to go along with my 120 Eval. Will this make a difference? If I carry a mage weapon, and have 80/120 Anatomy/Eval?

Will it increase my defense? Or just be a waste of points?

Not a waste of points, it will be useful if you get disarmed. Do you have resist/med?

 

[jtw1984]

Yes med would be 100 and resist would be 120.

But you are saying that the extra defensive capabilities of having 80 anatomy and 120 eval would not have an effect as long as I'm carrying a mage weapon?

So the only real purpose of those 80 skill points in anatomy would be if I was disarmed?

Yes

Yes

Thank you Lynk. Now if you could only help me with one vs one mage duels. lol

As far as I know, you´d be better off with 100 Anatomy.
Since Defense of 100 Anatomy + 120 Eval equals Defens of 120 Wrestling.
So you might wanna consider the 20 points more.

Atleast if they did not change something again

You could just add 120 wrestling.

 

[jtw1984]

From what I gathered in looking through other threads all you needed was 80 anatomy and 120 eval.

 

[Lord GOD(GOD)]

80 Anatomy & 120 Eval = 100 Defensive Wrestle.
100 Anatomy & 120 Eval = 120 Defensive Wrestle.

(Anatomy + Evaluate Intelligence + 20) / 2 = defensive wrestling (capped at 120.0).

correct me if im wrong but isnt (80+120+20)/2=110?

And if they were just using it to offset being disarmed....I would think 110 would suffice, tho I still prefer just having wrestling
