[Bushido] Parry and Bushido

[DreadLord Lestat]

I want a Sampire that I can use to solo some peerless and maybe some spawns.

After searching and looking at a lot of different templates for Sampires, I am very confused about Parry and Bushido. Some say it is a waste to have parry because Bushido has a natural parry using a 2 handed weapon while others say 120 Bushido and Parry, and a few even say 120 Bushido and 60 parry. So what should I be planning on?

http://uo.stratics.com/content/arms-armor/combat.php check values for yourself under the "Chance to Block an Attack". To get 34% chances you need at last 120 Bushido and 100 Parrying. Bushido 120 skill only putted without Parrying gives only a 5% chances to block.

Also remember to have 300 points in each parrying, bushido and weapon skill according to http://www.uoguide.com/Special_Moves to get 10 points of mana reduction

120 + 60 to get 300 points (with 120 weapon)
120 + 120 for max defense
choose what suits you better

3.7. Parrying

Parrying and Bushido skills are checked during combat to determine whether an attack can be fully blocked.
If you are using a shield, the Bushido skill will actually lessen your chance to block an attack.
Bushido has excellent skills - Confidence and Evasion - that work with Parrying. So for a melee warrior is better to have Bushido and don't use shields.
Parrying is counted for special moves mana reduction. A popular way to get 300 points for mana reduction is: 120 weapon, 120 Bushido, 60 Parrying (120 Bushido + 60 Parrying gives you the same chance to block as 120 Parrying + 60 Bushido).

I am really curious about this as well. I would love to be able to save those 60 parry points for chiv and anat 120 resist when necessary. If I play as mostly a counter striker I need the high parry to have more chance to counter? or am I missing something here?

I believe you need 120 parry to use CS most effectively. In this case you can get 10 DI from your armor (one woodland armor piece with 10 DI and 5 metal armor pieces including metal M&S) and get max DI/HCI without jewels. (if you are going to use swordsmanship... for fencing you will probably want 55 HML). This allows you to have 800-820 skill at your template.
