UO Second Age

Someone has mentioned archery doing that, but I think they're referring to the dread days rather than T2A. As for War Fork, I've never heard that. You'll have to find some really strong evidence to support that, because holy crap that would be unbalanced.

I think that was just a uo-myth because the fork (and archery) had such a large range of damage, people said that sometimes it ignored the armor.

People undermine macing; for whatever reason macing here completely destroys armor in minutes. I hate nothing more than getting into a fight with a macer, and after 4 or 5 minutes of back and forth seeing those "Your equipment is severely damaged" messages, not to mention its a greater drain on stamina.

Ha, I definitely agree. Remember when macers would intentionally go out (in big groups) just to find people with blessed items or decent armor? Speaking of which, does macing destroy blessed items here?

No but it should. I think the only reason it doesnt is because the omg-leet-mask people would complain.

That makes me do this:

I think macing is going to rock even more once horse stamina fix goes live. Then everyone won't be so quick to jump on horses and run for 10 minutes straight when they only get 30 seconds of sprinting on a horse before its out of stam, and even less when they're getting hit by a macer.

use fencing and macing fast dp / ball busting fun

this would be true if horse stamina was affected at all by personal stamina. yes you will fatigue on a horse when you have 0 stam, but that's also the case now. there really shouldn't be any extra advantage to macing it doesnt have now

horse patch will be win, regardless

I think his point is more that combat will be much less horse-based, and so you'll much more frequently (and perhaps, always) be on foot, draining personal stamina.

Still, any pvper worth his salt has 15+ red potions, so stamina shouldn't be an issue, even at 25 dex.

I'm going to try to find evidence of this. I remember something like this from my T2A days.

At very least, it was a special move in a later release.
