How much more?

28%, mathematically speaking. Roughly you'll be able to hide two-thirds of the time vs. half the time assuming nobody's within, what, 8 tiles of you.

Oh ok. I'm just wondering because I'd think the benefits of being able to cast cure and heal on a dexxer (50 skills vs 36) would be better than have more hiding.

Agree completely, my suggestion only applies if you merely want failsafe recall from a scroll.

Thats true.

Again going back to answer the original question yes some magery is required.

I wonder how many times it would take you to recall off a scroll with 0.0 magery?

I personally wouldn't cast any spells on a dexer during PvP unless it had wrestling, in which case I'm using 100 points on a skill so might as well go the gm magery route. Cure potions are all you need!

I mean you just dont have to use it in PvP, good for pvm too. My dexxer just fights lighter monsters like elementals but sometimes if they are getting the best of me IE poisoned and I'm getting whaled on I'll cast and then my bandage will just heal me. Pots would work too.

Ideally, both pots AND bandages.

my red doesnt have gm magery, just enought to recall with a scroll.

I prefer a hybrid for a PK. GM magery, GM eval, GM weapons skill (swords, macing or fencing), GM tactics, GM anatomy, and some mix of resist, hiding and healing (80/60/60 preferably). Then you can mana dump and finish 'em off with a hally/mace/poisoned spear/whatever and still heal yourself reasonably well as necessary. Tank mage I guess.

Can't poison a spear I dont think.

Well I guess I will make a hybrid char.
100 magery
100 eval
100 mf
100 tct
100 anat
80 resist
60 hiding
60 healing

so i chose mf because i see that there are lots of hybrid mages so with mf i will drain stamina am i right?

but with this template i cannot use plate armors am i right? i really want to use plate armors.
i am not stuck with no magery of course i can have for recall. but i wanna use plate or something metal armors.
offffff i really don't know what to do

Well your mana regen is already going to be shit with 0 meditation and I assume you are going to wear some kind of armor, which will slow it down to an unbearable rate. Basically your entire fight will revolve around only using your mana when totally necessary. 60 healing won't work, you will fail bandys all the time. I would reccommend just dropping the hiding to 0. 60 hiding would be frustrating and 60 healing is just worthless. There's also a world of difference between 80 and GM resist. Your character will be totally worthless against dexers, regardless, since you won't be able to cast spells without interruption.

IMO change the last 3 to GM res, GM heal. Little known fact, you can have healing without anatomy, depending on whether you want to use spells often or you prefer the melee damage, drop anat for med.

100 sw
100 tct
100 heal
100 anat
100 wrest
100 resist
40 magery

ok that is it i think?
i will disarm halberds if hally mages attack me, i will disarm dexers too.
but it's not "destroyer" for mages.
what about stats?

i'm a newbie on this server and forgot a lot of t2a dynamics. if you can help me i will be really greateful because i cannot use my character unless i choose my fully temp. i'm a little obsessed
