Casters do not need HCI.I play along and don't really have anyone to ask, and I feel like an idiot asking the question but...
Thanks for your response Deschet. Anon McDougle, good question I to would like to know the answer to that because I was thinking about making a warrior mage until I saw a response Merlin had on the UO Spellcaster forum regarding to his " Mystic Mage Spellweaver".Casters do not need HCI.
Re: playing alone - if you're on Atlantic and would like to find some groups to play with, please send me a message. I would be happy to help you find a guild or one of the public Discord servers so you have more people to interact with.

Merlin, thanks for your response and offer. I might take you up on it one day. As I said above. I think I might try your Mystic Mage Spellweaver build though it sounds like it may be difficult to play with all the different spells but I guess you only use a few in each just like I do with Magery. I also just realized that DPI can get higher then 100 in that same response you had where you explained that you can get up to 260+ DPI. I have been using a SDI spell book +50 and an ENCHANTRESS' CAMEO talisman. I looked up slayers and found out that slayer talismans dont word with spell crafters. That explains why when I took it off it didn't change the damage I was doing.
Thanks for your input Merlin! Your doing a good job as a Moderator. I was f
eeling like giving up on the mage stuff because I couldn't solo any bosses. It sounds like I can. I just wanted to share with everyone again what you said:
"With all the various SDI items combined with SDI enhancing spells from Spellweaving, SDI foods like grapes of wrath and fish pies, you can have 260+ SDI and be able to spam WoD quickly for 1000+ damage. Add in slayer books, and you can fight just about anything. Combine that with an Eater suit that has lots of regen and great healing spells from all three magic skill lines, you have great defensive capabilities. Not sure who told you this build lacks power, but they must not be playing it correctly".
Yes, hci increases your chance to hit with any weapon - even one you do not have any skill with.does hci work with mage weapons
If soloing bosses is your bar for playing a mage, then you probably would want to play a warrior.I was feeling like giving up on the mage stuff because I couldn't solo any bosses. It sounds like I can.
