Tamer/Mage or Necro/Mage ?

[Guest]

Hi all.

Gonna post this on the necro forums too.

I'm looking for mainly PvM with some PvP in the future. I got my Mage semi done with 80+ magery. So for my mage part i got magery, medi, eval & resist.

I started off with 50 taming. But i find taming a chore to raise. Currently taming polar bears near Deceit. At 52.x skill currently.

The lure of necromancy seems likes its easier to raise.

So tame, lore & vet OR necro, SS & weapon skill?

Whats the advantage for both templates ?

(Note i played UO many yeas ago during Lord Blackthorns revenge for like 2 months. Just came back into UOKR/Mordain's)

Thanks.

As I mentioned in your other posting, I am interested in making a Necro/Tamer, which is something I am not sure of as I have never done the necro skill before.

tamer/mage is viable in both pvp and pvm.

necro mage is also viable in both pvp and pvm. Generally in pvm, necro/mage excels at champ spawns. tamer/mage excels at dps

Hi, thanks for the info.

Is weapon skills important for a Necro/Mage ? Since I would have 1 left over skill.

Eg:
100 Magery
100 Medi
100 Resist
100 Eval
100 Necro
100 SS
100 ?? (Weapon Skill or Anatomy or Wrestling)?

Thanks.

Go 120 with the last 100 points and use a staff of the maji. 0 mage weapon means at 120 magery you are 120 macing. Never forget the "free" skills!
