UO Second Age

Am I wrong or mages are 1000X more stong then a warrior?
The paralyze spell is ridiculous, thats not possible that I stay more than 5 seconds frozen, if I dont have a traped bag I am dead...
Well dont know what more could be changed but staff must do something because the PVP is NOT balanced here.
Thank you

Our goal is not to "balance" PvP or any other play style, it's to make the combat system the way it was during the T2A era. It's true that without trapped pouches a dexer is pretty boned on the field, but it's also accurate.

try carrying multiple trapped pouchs, bandages, all potions, and try chasing them down with a better then GM weapon, you will make ends meat outta a mage.

If you want balance, go play on OSI. They have 10 years of balancing and reforming the game behind them.

This server is about accuracy, nothing more.

If you're going to PvP as a melee, "if i don't have a trapped bag" should not be an option. Always have trapped bags.

always carry 5 or more pouches, and always use a fast weapon. Stay on their asses. Also even thoguh your template is a warrior.. having atleast 60 magery for greaterhealing purposes will save your ass more times then you can think.

Or you can wait for no magic damage towns and be a townie

and leave the real pvp to mages and med warriors fighting in the newly constructed spawn era accurate Deceit It has alot of room to be abel to pvp in it now. Just like the old days

you're just really fucking bad, dexers are OP

In a duel if you have a quick weapon a mage has to get pretty lucky to take you down. As long as you can disrupt his spells long enough to get a heal or two through you should be good.

And yeah, para is a pain.

always have these items if you're a dexxer and leave town (incase of pk or random gank)

5+ trapped pouches
~5 gheal pots
~5 gcure pots
~5 gstrength pots (i really like using these and then a gheal pot, if i see a mage prep'ing a dump, you know you have 20 extra points of health)
~10 grefresh pots

and a safe rune and recall scroll (if you dont have magery) for a quick get away


my 2 cents

Yeah, when raiding I chug a g str so I can start a heal early. I usually don't need an extra 20 hp, but having a heal come through 5 seconds after the first corp por is nice...

Yeah a bad mage, taking a warrior down isn't hard for someone that knows how to play a mage right. And how can you complain about para lasting more than 5 seconds? Its not hard to carry trapped pouches, thats your fault.

Uh, carry a lot more than that....

I don't know, the only times I've had issues with mages have been if they are able to get a REALLY nice combo off right away and they caught me off guard. Might not always be able to win the fight, but VERY rarely get taken down.

As far as the paras, the only part that is a pain is the extra hit or two you can't get off. I usually carry a few extras myself though.

I carry 15 trapped pouches

no shit either.

This thread is lol friendly. How much trouble is a trapped pouch? Like 3 gold for the pouch and 9 or less gold to cast the first circle spell?

A 7x dexxer fighting a 7x mage both equipped with modest field equipment the dexxer has an advantage imo. I played during t2a on OSI and also on many free shards and this has always been the case. Probably why so many free shards sped up spell time as well.
