I got a peace/mage I use for champs spawns. I was thinking, could chiv's dispel evil work in place of area peace? That would free up points for something else.

Not exactly sure how dispel evil works. Thought it only works for summoned creatures (revs and demons). And it's affected by your chiv skill and karma.

i thought it didn't "dispel" summons, it just caused regular creatures to flee.

dispel evil works AWESOME at spawns. if you are getting crowded and need a little breathing room, it flees the baddies away, allowing for a less crowded wither or holy light area damage type spell.

before the chiv/mage nerf, I had a spellweaving chiv/mage for spawning, and the dispel evil and HL and... god i dont remember, some spwv spell that did similar area damage worked awesome!

use dispel on an archer is nice vs stronger monsters. make them flee so they wont hit u with magery or range attack, hit and cast again. (takes many mana and patience but could be nice). archers however shouldn't be bothered by magery spells. my archer can single a DF, lady mallisande, chief primox and other really strong monsters with out no problem! (tried to single dreadhorn but it has chief and magery props making me die sometimes, wich i hate )

jeje I am a runner and a safe player. at my first UO experience my most used skill was peacemaking...
peacemaking makes a nobdexx safe... however to be a good dexx u can better not use peacemaking and just heal good (tru peacemaking i forgot to heal much times). also when i dotn feel safe I just run... not that i think dieing is that bad, no healers are always near and if not i just use sacrifice or help I am stuck. and still dont like it , not bothered by stuffloose too so why i keep running??? why my replext is to run if i see a player I don't now in wild? well probably my friend that played UO with me teached me to do so . he always was naked. was a tamer/mage and had a flee macro whenever he saw a player. I did that also.

but now I canbeat almost anything on my shard (150 dexx 160 stamina 100 str 50 intell all 70 100DI hit a sec 50 dmg avarage and 200 on monsters...) I still keep running. lol... if i would stay i would kill monsters more easilly becouse i always se0em to heal at the right moment. unless i run...

so dispel eavil is a good way to keep safe ... (pets also are nice to stay safe, they take dmg while u hit). but hard to make an doom/pk/pvm-archer/tamer... (if templates of 1200 skills would be nice) (spreading over 2 chars, sounds weared but works for me). (1 or 2 more skills isnt a real problem but not more than 1400).
