Question re poisoning and 6th circle magery

Post by dmch »

Hello all,

I'm looking for a bit of help on deciding how to spend my last few skill points, so i'm trying to find out how much poisoning skill is necessary to reliably apply deadly poison and how much magery is required to reliably cast invisibility (6th circle). The character build im hoping for runs something like this.

Str 100
Dex 95
Int 30

Swords 100
Tactics 100
Anatomy 100
Healing 85
Poisoning 90
Resist 80
Magery 50
Hiding 40
Parry 35

or

Swords 100
Tactics 100
Anatomy 100
Healing 85
Poisoning 90
Resist 80
Magery 70
Parry 55

Am i picking too many skills? I'm hoping to use this char for pvp and pvm. I like hiding/invisibility because it allows me to get the drop on reds. Any advice?

Around 51.5 magery will cast Invisibility 1% of the time. 90.1 will cast it 100% of the time. So around 70% should be 50% of the time.

I would absolutely drop parry from that list. Either GM it at 100, or don't. At 35, you're only parrying a hit 18% of the time. At 55, only 28% of the time. Even at 100 parry, or 50% blocking, it's not a great skill since you're using weaker one-hand weapons, and you can't drink potions with a shield and weapon equipped.

Most warriors have these basic 6 skills:

Magery
Magic Resist
Healing
Anatomy
Tactics
Weapon

And the 7th skill is Hiding/Wrestling/Poisoning/Parry.
