Ok I've read some guides and done some research but I still have some specific questions regarding my PvE Magery template and possible changes I might make. First of all my current template (subject to change):
Magery
Evaluate Intelligence
Meditation
Wrestling
Resisting Spells
Spellweaving
Parry
Additionally I would like to mention that this is a brand new character on a new shard for me and I am not scrolled yet on any skill (100 cap) and do not have a ton of spare cash at the moment to bling myself. I'm also new UO player so please excuse my cluelessness.
Now the questions, I'm aware that somewhere in all these posts may be the answer to some of these questions but so far I remain confused:
1. Should I ditch Wrestling for Anatomy? In Ava Stradens guide she mentions:
2. Should I ditch Parry for something else like Poison? I've read that without a high dex you don't get the max dodge but I believe even at 30 dex you get a 20% chance to parry, which doesn't seem bad.
3. Regarding Meditation I read this in Ava's guide:
4. Regarding skill caps. If I have a skill cap of 100 on lets say magery and assuming my skill is at 100, can I take it above the cap with an item? Say I put on a +10 magery ring, can I take my magery to 110 with the item even though my cap is 100?
Thank you very much for any information.
Best regards,

Now I'm assuming that there is some other advantage to using Wrestling which is why I don't see Anatomy in many mage templates. Is it the special moves that come with Wrestling?6. using Anatomy and Evaluate Intelligence to dodge blows uses less points toward your 700.0 cap to substantiate the same wrestling equivalent.
2. Should I ditch Parry for something else like Poison? I've read that without a high dex you don't get the max dodge but I believe even at 30 dex you get a 20% chance to parry, which doesn't seem bad.
3. Regarding Meditation I read this in Ava's guide:
So, just checking, if I have even one item on that's not Mage armor, Cloth or Plain leather (not studded or horned or barbed or anything) then it completely cancels out the Meditation skill? Is that really true? If it is I have some suit work to do.Firstly, meditate only works while wearing three kinds of armor: Cloth, Leather (not studded), and any armor that has the effect “Mage Armor”. If you are wearing anything other than these three things, such as a player made fashioned helmet or a studded leather tunic, then the meditate skill will not work nor will you be able to use the skill directly.
4. Regarding skill caps. If I have a skill cap of 100 on lets say magery and assuming my skill is at 100, can I take it above the cap with an item? Say I put on a +10 magery ring, can I take my magery to 110 with the item even though my cap is 100?
