Question about Parrying
My warrior/paladin has been working on increasing swords and parrying, and have both of them around 90 now. I recently started using a two-handed weapon, though. My question is, do I still use parrying with a two-handed weapon? Or should I trade that skill out for something different?

Re: Question about Parrying
Do you have bushido?
If you don't, parry still works but only half as well. If you do have bushido, you want to use a two handed weapon with parry ![]() Vepl Last edited by Vepl; 10th July 2007 at 06:56 AM. |

Anatomy Healing Swords Chivalry Spell Resist Parrying Tactics So would you recommend keeping parrying then? And if so, should I still try to raise it to 100? |

Re: Question about Parrying
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you are mainly into PvM. If so, there is nothing wrong with keeping parry. With the template you have I would raise everything to GM and try to get swords as high as you can afford a scroll for (if your not a four year vet, you can't have six at GM with one at 120 until then). Even with a two handed sword you will block some attacks. Less damage seems to be a good idea to me

How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

100 anat 90 healing 120 swords 70 chiv 100 resist 120 parry 100 tactics I am assuming you only have 225 stat cap? If so try... 100 str 100 dex 25 int But what you really want to shot for in the end is... 110 str 140 dex 40 mana (not int) If you are wearing all mebable gear maybe go human for the +3 mr but if your not wearing all medable gear go elf for the +20 mana.

Also, what's the point in having that high of dexterity? The only time I ever see it go down to zero is when I'm carrying too much weight in my pack. I would think it would make more sense to have high mana, rather than dex, so that I can cast more chivalry spells. |

Re: Question about Parrying
Think about healing if your fighing tuff monsters 4 secs is nice to have. Plus just get a mana leech weapons for more mana with lmc and mr on your suit.
Pluse why do you need more chiv points? so you dont fail EoO? at 70 chiv you wont fail to often put the points somewhere else.

Re: Question about Parrying
140 dex
![]() FYI the skill temp I gave above was only 700 points if your account is old enough you have 20 more points to play with.

Re: Question about Parrying
Also the way Chiv is coded, you don't get any extra bonus for anything other than success chance at casting anything. Everything (strength, length) is based off of Karma.
