Do hardcore mages need wrestling??

**bendavho** · 24th August 2006, 12:15 PM

Just wondering if mages need wrestling here is my template

120 Magery
120 Eval
120 Med
105 Resist (trying to get it to 120)
50 scribe (getting it to 100)

I still have 140 pts unused what should I do with em?

Depends, do you want to PVP or PVM?

If you are going to pvp, then yah it cant hurt. It is a good way to defend yourself. If you are going to pvm, then I wouldnt bother. You can better use it towards something else that can help your damage output. The benefit of having wrestling in pvp is you cant be disarmed, you can disarm archers and can hold a book that helps your suit out, like a scrappers or clainens.

A weapon skill will help stop monsters and players from disrupting your spells. You can cast "protection" but that lowers physical resist, and with my game style, thats too much too give up.

This char is for pvm, so !!! skillz do u think i should train in?

I reccomend training wrestling then. My necro has wrestling and it helps a lot when fighting CS not getting interrupted when getting attacked by 3 or 4 monsters at once.

I tend to go with "wrestling" for paralyzing blow, or "macing" so I can use the Staff of the Magi, but if you already have a good mana leech weapon with spell channeling, you may wish to go with that skill.

I have 140pts left like noted above, !!! about mixing wrestling and chiv?

**Maddux** · 24th August 2006, 03:43 PM

Cant beat 4/6 chivilary spamming "Holylight". Its very effective. I would go one way or the other, but not both. It all comes down to what your comfortable with.

If your strictly doing PvM then I'd say pick up a PvM skill, like SpellWeaving.

Mostly for Word of Death to finish off the bigger monsters.
