Wrestling, anatomy, or both?

22nd July 2007, 03:44 PM

First off, hello there! I'm new, both to the game (playing for 2 days now

) and forums.
My questions are simple:
is a combination of anatomy and evaluate intelligence, or wrestling better for a mage wishing to avoid being hit? Do the benefits from the skills stack?
Thanks in advance for help.

I have not used the Anat/Eval for defense and don't know much on it. But I'm fairly certain they do not stack.

So with Anat out of the equation for me, it's up to preference between 120 Wrestle and 120 Weapon Skill. You will have the same defensive benefits as 120 Weapon Skill with Wrestle and you can use spell books and use wrestle special moves (para/disarm), while the obvious benefit for using a Weapon Skill is getting to use weapons and their specials, albeit ones you need Spell Channeling on them.

Welcome Kodi! I hope you find the game as intensely addictive as I have over the years. Although not an expert in the matter of PvP, I do have a couple links for you from here on the forums. Thank you for a great question!

How do I avoid fizzling so much?

Thankye for the welcome guys, and the hints. I've decided to go with wrestling, since it gives me some (even if only a little) offensive abilities as well as defensive. I knew about protect spell, but the hit to casting speed and resist skill isn't so nice

Thanks again!
