To be able to defend and, at least, half the time kill one
What would u need as far as stats?
What would u need as far as armour, rings, bracelots and weps?
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated:grin:
I want to make the ultimate red hunter/killer
I have alot of skills on different charaters, on one account, and could soulstone the skills to one character needed to make this ultimate red hunter character

I guess it all depends on what you're most comfortable with.
With all these new PvE changes coming I am not really sure what it is we want to have anymore.

If you want a quick killer, use bush-arch combo with high hci/dci on your armor/jewelry. Weapon suggested would be heavy xbow, or normal bow. make sure they have lots of SSI, some HCI, decent DI, and a must is some mana leech, hit lower defense, and possibly stam leech. a nice bonus would be some like 40% hit lightning or something.
para blow, mortal blow, lightning strike can take a guy down really quick, with a normal bow.

Couple notes: Stealth and Ninjitsu are great additioons to you Survivability factor. Just enough Ninjitsu to use smoke bombs and 80 Stealth to never fail in meddable armor.

Another thing I was always told, 10 HP arent going to make the world of difference, so make sure youre not setting STR too high.

Keep your DEX as close to max swing speed for your wep as possible and keep greater refreshes on hand at all times.

As far as INT, try to get it so you can drop a combo and still have enough left for a recall or SJ...just in case.

I dunno...its alot like NASCAR. Tiny little changes make the difference between living and dying.

Thanx foir the advice all. Now if I could get around my kind heartedness and be able to actually kill one lol
My wife says I am to nice to acually kill someone.

At first you will get that sped up heartbeat feeling, when you read "you are attacking so and so" but after a while it cools off, and then you will relax. At first, I thought I would never be able to do it either, but before UO I always played stuff like Unreal Tourn, Quake 3, Tom Clancy stuff, with my buddies in the dorms, we would take our computers to 1 guys shop and network up, so I kinda got a pvp type feel there.

Once you get relaxed enough, the KEY is to remember all your macros. I have a hard time with this because I am a moron, thats a diff story. As most mages will say, "a dexxer monkey only has 3 macros to remember" well theyre sorta right, but we do have more than that. Make sure you have these macros down pact and be quick at em.

Dont get over commited to too many players, as in dont get involved with more players in a fight than you can handle. I have a hard time doing this, I will flag on a guy, and he will get surrounded by his other guildies, but I keep on pressing, I just try to heal through everything they throw at me, and hopefully just take him down with me. Most of the time, well all the time, I die, but atleast 1 of em say "atleast he had balls to stay" thats nice to hear cause they will remember that next time that you arent a running little punk. Its a small way to earn some respect out there..

But most of all, remember it is a game, only pixels. That other guy on the side of his monitor wont actually be hurt, maybe his bank talley will drop a few k gold, but thats it. Rez and repeat. Its all fun

Good post.

To the OP: Survivability is normally the key to PvP, if you can stay alive in the end, you win! Obvious, but how to stay alive is what you need to look at. Most of this boils down to what you expect to fight the most, against mages you will need 2 things, spell resist and good armor, against meleers/archers you will need good armor and high DCI.

After you've figured out how you will live through their attacks you have to figure out how you are going to kill them.

If you are a warrior:

Against mages you will need to hit fast and often, look for fast weapons and high HCI, against meleers/archers you will need a weapon to disarm/dismount/paralyze and of course deal a lot of damage.

If you are a mage:

Against mages you will need to work on your timing and combos, interrupt they're spells as often as you can with timed harms or poison. Against meleers/archers you will need to disarm and find ways to interrupt healing (i.e. poison) while dishing out damage.

Hope that helps, no specifics on template because this game is so diverse that information is more valuable.

wow yall sure have some good advise

Here is the perfect template for a beginner. Also inexpensive now days.

110 Mage
110 Med
110 Eval
100 Resist
70 Chivalry
110 Parry

Use the chivalry cure and remove curse. If you have enough fast cast as a mage then use the chivalry heals.

With chivalry, you can cure, heal, and remove curse faster than a mage as long as you have enough faster casting.

I suggest have a 100% LRC suit with decent resists, use a Scrappers Copendium (or however you spell it), arcane shield, FC 1 FCR 3 ring and bracelet with some Lower Mana Cost and Mana Regen. Try and fit the Pendant of the magi and the Rune beetle carapase if possible. Then by that time you will have FC 4 and Chivalry will dominate with its fast fast fast heals. And if you have as posotive karma as you can get, your chivalry cures are faster than a mages, and will cure Deadly Poison every time. Also, at FC 4 the chivalry heals will be FASTER than a mage's and will heal as close to DOUBLE the amount that a mini heal does.

Remove curse allways you to well, "remove a curse" lol. A curse on you will weaken your resists and stats, and the remove curse is supoer fast with FC 4 and will reverse the cure to where everything is back to normal.

Having high Defence Chance Increase with that 110 PArry will allow ya to block some of the hits that a dexxer/archer can do to ya.

Thanx this was alot of good info
