You miss a lot of points don't you?

I believe the point Chaos is trying to make is that Necromancy and Chivalry oppose each other, thus, using both should nerf each other as they're opposing each other. Necromancy sort of nerfs chivalry by lowering Karma which is the backbone of chivalry, but Necromancy never received a hit for having Chivalry.

And before you troll, or do your witty reply that makes you cool, I'm not asking for it to be changed.

Do you really think I am witty? You seem to keep throwing out the words troll, cool and witty a lot. Perhaps you are projecting?

I was trying to ascertain what part of the sammy template was "stupid". Obviously you and at least one other are of the opinion he thought it was stupid more from an RP perspective. Oddly, I don't hear a lot about the role playing aspect of high end pvm. Perhaps I should look around more.

You said, "I want to be able to do something with a warrior, that isnt' a sampire. "

How can you do more with a warrior that isn't a sampire? If you won't consider other templates, one of two things is going on here:

Either, a) you are just complaining about things without a solution in mind or b) the game should somehow change to make non-sampire warriors be able to do more.

If you are just complaining but don't want anything to actually change, how exactly does that help anything?

If you do, in fact, want the game to change so non-sammy warriors are more effective, then please say how so?

As for the ad hominem attacks, thanks! This is my first time posting here, so thanks for showing me how to do this the right way.

Oh my gawd.

Do you even read?

I'm not complaining about anything, I'm not asking anything to be changed. I stated simply what I believed and that I wished I could do more. I never asked for a change.

You obviously do have bad reading comprehension because this is the third time me saying it and you have yet to actually read it, so I'm going to repeat it about 5 times in all caps.

I AM NOT ASKING ANYTHING TO BE CHANGED.

I WONDER IF ANYONE REALIZED IT WAS ONLY FOUR TIMES BEFORE I EDITED.

Maybe that will cause you to stop skimming and actually read the post instead of trying to be the cool kid you are.


EDIT:

BTW stating an opinion isn't really complaining or whining. So so far you're 0 for 3.

If I'm projecting, then dayum. 2 out of the 3 being good things, I'm fine with that. I was stating the point of Chaos's argument, something you missed. Doesn't mean I agree with it. But it doesn't really make sense, two opposing powers, combine to make godly pvm tank?

Having Necromancy and Chivalry makes no sense, not even gamewise. And as can be seen it apparently leads to a bit overpowered templates to say the least.

Either way, its just stupid and either way, you're welcome to your shammy, though of course then you'll be one of those people who whine about the game being too easy and then we get more and more powerful mobs until only the most tight templates can even exist.

Oddly enough, I am one of those poor sad souls who doesn't have the "high end" sammy. I started off pretty modestly and am working my way up. I think half, if not more, of my armor is stuff I imbued. At this point its easier to keep the suit I have than to try to fix it by adding a different piece.

Typically I don't whine about the game being too easy. Sometimes i like to do some armchair quarterbacking and wonder, "what if we never got item insurance, would the economy be so screwed? Would we have overpowered item based templates without insurance?" etc. Because, overall, this game is pretty awesome, and its not the PvM that makes it so. Its the players.

Wow! It's funny when someone complains about not being able to solo a monster, gets advice on templates to use, refuses to adjust by using said templates, and then goes back to complaining.

The best part of this game is the ability to make whatever template you want to use, however, it comes at a price. There are some things that any template can't do.

You chose your playstyle. Live with it, and quit whining, go back to playing the game.

Except its a silly part of the game to require so many templates (and most of them require 720) for so many different things, the cost in PS (stat and skill) and gear is staggering. As far as I can see on a shammy it would easily cost 20+ million to make one properly, then add the time to actually take skills to legendary if you don't use a certain program that most of UO uses.

First of all, the game doesn't require jack diddly other than you pay your monthly subscription.
Second, there isn't a requirement to use 720 skill points nor to use power and stat scrolls. That is something you've put on yourself.

Yes, I do have a sammy, but it didn't cost me 20+ million. I got the scrolls either by good networking and trading, or by clever sneakiness. You'd be amazed what people will drop on the ground.

I also have a Legendary smith and above Elder imbuer to create equipment that makes my sammy viable. I'll grant it's not uber enough to achieve the same claims as other sammies, but I still have my fun, and isn't that what counts after all?

Besides, I'd rather be in a group taking down the mobs than roaming solo.

Any chance we can keep this conversation civil?

LC, what weapon were you using? What hci do you have? what damage increase?
