UO Second Age

i'd also like to note that there weren't many viable templates back in this era. UO:R however started going in the right direction as far as template diversity goes.

I dont know. More options for pvp There are tons, I do not care which ones. I do not see any negatives in adding a few and there have yet to be any mentioned.

This is this last time i will be repeating myself and even at this point its only for arguments sake but the hally mage is clearly the most dominant template. No matter how well you make some little trick work on any other current template a person of equal skill will kill you dead with a hally mage. This should not be the deciding factor. Before you say "no I could kill blah blah blah blah" picture it as if you were fighting yourself. You as the hally mage wins. Every other aspect of this shard is quite diverse while still benefiting the game. Diversity in Pvp is handicapped.

How should the shard go about getting more diversity in PvP templates when the shard's goal is to replicate 1999 as accurately as possible? You just have to take it for what it is.

by having the majority decide they would prefer it that way. Which would you prefer?

I'm not sure you understand how things work here on UOSA. "The majority" don't decide anything about game mechanics, the only thing that matters is if it's accurate to Nov 1999.

I am actually aware of that and expect not to have anything changed. Why not try?

For the record, I still think you're wrong. I'll fight a hally mage on my dexxer anytime 1v1.

Have you tried any other template besides the tank mage?

Swords
Archery
Magery
Resist
Healing
Anatomy
Tactics

Pre-Cast Meteor Swarm or Chain lighting, arm the bow, wait for the timer, come on screen, say something newbish to some guy sitting there...shoot the bow, disarm, release the spell, immediately prep a purple, arm your hally (if the bow missed) or katana
and chase them down.

A good 2 vs 2 temp is a Total Healer

Macing
Tactics
Healing
Wrestling
Resist
Magery
Meditation

100 str 55 dex 70 intel is perfect. You would be near impossible to kill. So whether you are drawing fire or mega healing your partner it's still a very viable template.

I can verify that this works and is quite hilarious.
