Maybe you can't hit him too often, but lets think this your 1on1 parrymage against archer... Does archer actually die to that parrymage? I mean except if archer lags so much that can't move or have ran to a trap and can't move and has EV:s/Demon on him?Ehh see few posts up and you will see Splup does not like to do 1v1 so i put forward an example of feild fighting lastnight 3v1. I think most of the pvp in UO is 3v2 2v4 1v3 10v1 10000000v10.
So these posts are all about ganking when you boil it down, or are you telling me youre getting pwned 1v1 via moving shot archers?
120 parry + 70 DCI (and DCI does stack try it, no wonder youre dieing if you only have 15 DCI)
again just as you apear to be short sighted:
I CANT HIT A MAGE WITH 120 PARRY AND 70 DCI
its embarsing to miss so many shots.
If youre not running with 120 PARRY and 70 DCI then adapt.
So basically the fight goes on untill the 2 get bored or RNG gives good streak enough to archer. Parrymages offence is just not enough to kill archer if he have any idea what he's doing (Not standing still if 30 HP left, pots used, 4 seks to bandy and mage is going for FS).
Thou I have killed parrymages 1on1 with my archer, dunno if the RNG is just in favor for me then, but I have hit parrymage with nice streaks many times even thou the chance for this to happen should be almost like winning lottery. Thou devs admitted that RNG has a habit of doing streaks.
Parrymage is also a underdog against any other magetemplate.
Parryingmage works in group as a healer and dumps if your team is the one attacking, but heck it not a standalone temp.
Mages have their places, group of mages is effective in places where you can use fields etc. Defending a harrower with necromages keeping a trap... But usually fights take place is pretty open areas (Despice, Destard, T2A and YEW). Mage could be waiting for his PvP in Deceit, but would prolly end up taking 1on1 against himself.
I'm not saying mages are useless against archers where and what so ever. I'm saying is that archers too powerful compared to how easy they are to play, and they are too powerful in too many situations.
I have killed archers 1on1. Thursday I was in despice with my mysticnecromage, I had invissed demon on island and other bridge fielded. The archer came in and I threw a field behind him and told my demon to go for him. The archer panicked and took HXbow and dismounted me? No idea what he was trying since now he's dismounted with demon on his ass in a trapped place. He ended up dead.
But often archers are not that stupid.
