parry is nice to have but if yer quick enough on a wrestle./enhance pots mage u can get away w/o it
sometimes it sucks when abunch of dexers are on me but that is when I just run and chug

as for magic resist...if you don't have magic resist on yer char u shouldnt be pvping period, the end.

one technical question, is paralyzing blow effect cut when damaged by spells or weapons?

yes.

Yea the whole running without any resist in pvp is just dumb. Luckily I found this out on a stupid char that didn't matter to me, so there was no problem with that. Btw, do you use shurikens on your ninja? Also with the new changes to parry, how have you compensated with Jim Bo.

Raised his dex to 80.
mana took a slight hit (75 mana now only) but its okay.
really tho ive been playing my mage alot more often now
as for shurikens...yea ive tried them but since you need one hand open to use them, and i use a shield +weap for the 4/6 on him it isnt really viable.
Plus I dont really need them since i have the poisoning anyhow...

A bush ninja anat/heal dexer w/o poisoning Id most likely use them since id be one hande weapon wielding w/ no shield...but I don't run that template

ok, I played my cards and bought a character, my armor has hat of magi, pendant, armor of fortune, ring of elements, inquisitors resolution, ornament.

all resists above 60ies, 34 lmc, 6 2 cast, 101 lrc, mana regeneration 10, 15 hci, 25 dci, 15 sdi, all skills 120, 245 stats (135, 40, 150 after bless), wrestler scribe mage.

How am I supposed to kill someone? I mean, I can't prevent them from healing so that doesn't help, should I change the template or something?

current template:
120 eval
120 medit
120 rs
120 magery
120 wrest
100 scribe.

hehe that's a very nice classic pure mage template right there. You can prevent them from healing by castin poison. The lvl 1 poison won't do any dmg but it'll be enough of a nuisance that you may be able to get in another ebolt to finish someone off. The thing about being a mage is timing. It's very difficult to get down perfect timing and takes some practice, but once you know your character well enough, you'll be very formidable.

Against a dexxer, cast curse, put disarm on, precast exp, fs, psn, then ebolt. You'd probably, kill a few people with just that, but if not, cast either harm or fireball to finish them off.

Against another mage, there really is no preset casting combo, so you'd have to wing it depending on how the other mage plays his guy.

my problem actually is that I render chanceless against necros or tanks

drop medi
stack in more mana regen if possible

add ninjitsu, (40+ damage deathstrikes...)

Learn how to stun someone, and then land a deathstrike as u target the precasted explode...

Stun can keep them from healing
in nox can keep them from healing.

key tho is the deathstrtike.
w/ the inscribe+sdi...an expl fs will do 75+ damage if u curse first.
add the 40 from DS ontop of that and most ppl are gonna die from less.
PLus if you are human (be human for extra mr anyways) u can track everyone except stealthers mostly...which can lead to 50 or 60 damage deathstrikes.

Need to carry the following...
Red pots
Yellow pots
Orange pots
Enchanted apples (for necro's strangle...)
Trapped box

-be quick w/ ur dog form key if u are ever dismounted, and u should never die. (well rarely)...
key is enhance pot ring tho. I wear an 0/2 ring w/ 75% ep, and the 15% ep talisman on top of that...so a Gheal pot generally heals upwards of 45+hp's...

also a very neat trick is the X-Box...

Get somebody cursed first preferably...

Precast an energy field...use target next (or select next/mobile...in new targetting system) untill you have you'r prefered target aQuired...hit attack last (makes u hit them, and stun them w/ ur toggled stunpunch)
Quickly drop the efield across their bar, cast a wall of stone, move to the 90 degree paralell...(to one side)and target wall of stone.
They are now trapped on one tile and can't move till wall drops
This gives ya a good amount of time (higher magery=wall lasts longer) to kill them with a massive dump...
I generally stand back and explode, fs, poison, while moving in to disarm them...and finish them w/ harms.
Toggle deathstrike While harming and should the wall drop before they die...they will run and die from the DS.
This is preferably used vs dexies...because most smart mages will teleport out while you try to expl fs...although if you use small spells you can keep his teleport attempts interrupted too (unless he has on protection!)
