I just started playing again. Seems like everything has been improved from my time. Looking to get into pvp.

1. Is it viable to drop resisting spells, and get resists on your gear? I was looking at how resist spells works, and it gives 40 to all resistances at GM level. But the 40 doesnt stack with any resistance from gear. once you get over 40% from gear, it just replaces it. So i dont see why not. Spells that directly check your skill resist spells and compare it to say, necromancy or eval, would be more damaging on you. from what i see.

2. I saw that necromancers can tame all wolves as if they require 0 taming. does this include the 101 taming wolf that heals it self? because that would be sick imho.

3. Is it a huge bonus getting a skill above 100? Seems to me like it would be better to have another gm skill.

Lastly, the build I'm working right now is:

Magery
Eval
Focus
Chivalry
Fencing
Tactics
Parry

Or possibly switching out parry/focus for meditation.
I just figured hybrids will have less INT which makes meditation less effective. Id get like 1.3mana regen per second with med, and with focus i can get +10 to 10 second health regen and +5 to 10 second mana regain. Or maybe just throw in some mana steal. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks everyone!!

seriously?

You mean this?

Haven't played UO since pre AoS... have some questions.

You didnt even answer my questions. you just assumed i didnt know the second part of what resist does. and told me focus is a dead skill.

I dunno bonghead. I think DiP's answers were pretty clear and helpful... If you need good pvp and/or pvm templates...

or more to the point...

drop focus.. useless now with the MR changes.. Maybe pick up poisoning instead..? Lethalstrike your targets.. Sure its lame and way off my kind of pvp.. But if you want easy nonskill kills then its your way to go ;)

chiv will only be at 2/6 casting with magery. It isn't useless but meditation would be your best bet.

Mage
Eval
Fencing
Resists
Poisoning
Parry
Med

Would be your best results on this form of template...

90 tactics or 80 poisoning or inscribe.

You can still use weapon poisoning with the poison skill + weapon skill.

Tactics you would need for specials like bleed/AI/concussion.
