Hello all


I m new to this game and i want to make a necro/mage.

I ve read many posts about it. But it still very confuse.

So i d like to have your opinion about what i should do.

ATM i m planning to use thoses skills :

xxx necro
xxx ss
xxx magery
xxx eval int
xxx med
xxx (i dont know what)

xxx str
xxx dex
xxx int

I only got 700pts as a new player. And i dont know how to distribute them. I either dont know how to distribute my stats points (str/dex/int).

So any advice is welcome. Thanks

Welcome to UO Forums and UO antarek

Hopefully those who know a lot about necro/mages will be in shortly. Are you planning to use him just for PvM, PvP or both?

Vepl

Thanks

Well i m new so i ll focus on PvM not to get kicked

But when i ll be more experimented i ll do some PvP too i guess ^^

I would add resists to your template. Try to get your strength to 100, dex around 15-20 and then all the intel you can get. As you can afford it you will want to get a stat scroll to increase your stat cap. Also you will probably be looking at buying scrolls for your skills too. That is a little way down the road though

Vepl

Ok, thanks

As Vep said, add resists. I have a char built exactly like yours, with the addition of resist. With a mage, intelligence is THE most important thing. Max that at 125, 15-20 dex as Vep said, then the rest in strength. Any items you can wear that put your intelligence higher would be helpful, such as pendant of the magi, hat of the magi, inquistors, divine countenance, or scrappers with +X intelligence bonus. Spell damage increases in 10 point increments, so try to add some items to get you to at least 130, 140 intel would be even better. Plan on wearing a lot of MR armor with that template, as it's somewhat mana intensive, but there are things you can cast (lich form) to help you in that respect.

Good advice from Vepl...I have a Necro/nox mage....gm poisoning ...nox mages were great once upon a time for pvp...but I'd not recommend it now...poisoning is terrible to train...but the resist is always a good idea

Thanks for your comments ^^

and maybe wrestling

If you are using regs I would get mr 2 pieces to at least 15mr on your suit be human, none into med/focus (gives 3 due to 20 in skills as a human) Then pick up fencing, use a warfork and bleed + strangle mages...followed with a pain spike...of wrestling as stated above, which will allow you to use pots and a book for more mr or spell damage your suit might be lacking. You want at least 25 stamina and no less. If you get hit really hard you will find yourself unable to move. Resists are a must unless you want to be paralysed all the time or poisoned everytime. I would recommend Defense chance increase on a mage without parry.

With no fighting skill you can add inscription (more damage for fire spells after using your curses) or poisoning which you can use omen with to up the poison level. Better pvper's use weapon skills although this will change in the next PUB. Where wrestling on a mage is going to be a must.

Well I've been trying to get back into PvP after a long sabatical and these are two templates I would like to try but I also have a few quetions.

Well I have two templates I am considering:

#1 Mage/Necro/Nox:
Magery 110
Eval 115
Med 100
Resist 100
Necro 105
SS 100
Nox 90

*My first question is do I need GM nox to cast evil omen and then get the possibility of Leathal poisoning?
* Can I stay alive against a great dexer with no melee (weapons or wrestling) skills. Would Protection and maxed out DCI be enough?

#2 Mage/Necro/Nox
Magery 105
Eval 115
Med 100
Resist 100
Melee 100 (wrestling or Melee skills)
Necro 100
SS 100

After the Changes is Melee or wrestling A MUST ??
I really have no idea what the best tactics are for this one yet but it sure seems like it could be fun. Any input would be appreciated.

I used to love PvP and I liked being very aggressive in my attacks but I also want to be able to get off some spells and not get mangled because I don't have enough defenses and dexers keep disrupting my spells.

Anyways, thanks for your input.

go inscribe instead of nox. Once a person is cursed/corpsed that 10% extra damage will be very usefull for your fire spells.
