Parrying + Bushido

[Nfurtado]

Hello everyone! I've just started to play UO and i'd like to make a character with this build (paladin tank pvm)

110 sword
100 tactics
100 anatomy
100 healing
110 parring
110 bushido
70 chivalry

90 str, 90 dex, 45 int

I have doubts with the stats and healing skill. I don't know if i have to put more dex instead of int. My second doubt is that i dunno if it would be better healing or focus (for mana recovery) so i can't start to train my character's skills because i don't have the build complete yet. Thank you for reading!

First of all your gonna need at last 115 weapon skill or u will miss too much. My recomendation also would be to lower healing, and either tactics or anatomy to 90 so u can 120 bush, parry, and swords. if u can't afford, go with 115 in all those skills. You want dex at 125(140 with items for 4 second heals), str at 90, and the rest into int. Your gonna want a suit set to all 70 resists or close as u can get. If ur worried about mana get mana regen armor(that is leather or mage armor)go human( 20 focus and 20 med equals 3 mana regen i do believe), and cap your LMC. Next is to get a weapon with mana and stamina leech if possible. Other than those basic tips, there are way too many forums beore this that focus on your same question. Please read what was wrote before u post A subject. Last but not least if ur goin to be pvm ( not pvp at all im guessing) u should start thinkin about a whammy or sampire template. Much more effecive at "Tanking"

str 80 dex 110 int 35, use weapon hit mana leech (+life leech, stamina leech)

Ok, i have read the sampire post-it and have made this build

Swordsmanship 120
Bushido 120
Parrying 120
Necromancy 80
Tactics 100
Anatomy 100
Chivalry 60

STR 90
DEX 125
INT 10

But i have a little doubt, if i use necromancy spells i will get negative karma and that'll reduce chivalry spells effectiveness, or that i think, so what can i do with this?

You don't cast any necro spells with a sampire other than vamp form if you happen to die. Managing karma is really pretty easy. You should look into getting a +25 stat scroll so you can boost your Str and Int up a bit more.
