Questions/Farming with a Dexxer/Hybrid

I created my "dexxer" and have a few questions, template is as follows...
100 Str / 75 Dex / 50 Int
100 Maces
100 Tactics
100 Anat
100 Healing
100 Magery
100 Resisting Spells
(50ish parrying/ 50 meditation left over from magery macro, I haven't decided what to use as 7th skill)

Are there any fun places for me to farm, with this type of character? Should I get GM parrying if I want to make money?

When I farm on my tamer I generally sit in one spot, allowing my drags to do the work and then wait X amount of time until it respawns(which can be boring/or frustrating; getting them to follow me around and finding a high profit spot that's empty). I did hit up some mage lords on this char for a little fun, are there other places available?

I was wondering if anyone farms gold with these types of chars or should I just try to make him into a pvp'er?

Also I chose Maces because I have a fencer/swordsman and wanted to be able to use any weapon I looted... is there a clear winner for pve or pvp on this type of char?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help!

Why gm med? I wear a dexxer suit and can't med anyways, so far farming I only cast really to re-call in/out, heal, cure

You still get the passive meditation gain increase from having the skill while wearing armor.

Wrong, with 50 Int and GM magery you can cast EV's that'll let you farm almost anything.

This. I use to farm "everything" with my medwarrior. Dragons, lich lords, balrons, demons, blood elementals, poison eles, wyrms, etc. Drop an EV, and start swinging! You just have to be extra careful because if it's a heavy hitter (ie balron or wyrm), as soon as that EV is dispelled, you're likely to be swung at within 1-2 seconds

Roadkill, is that to interupt the monsters dispel? It seems though that you wouldn't have enough mana to dispel after monster is killed?

I'll have to try it out... Also do you wear any armor? I feel pretty foolish taking med down from 100 now for parrying...

You just need 20 mana to dispel, with GM med and a dexxer suit passive med should probably take some 30 secs to get back to 20, so it's not too much time, and it's hard to drop big game in just 30 secs, even with an EV.

yea tell me about it... i really don't like this char soo far...
i'd much rather farm with a hally/mage...

i'm thinking of dropping med and getting archery (might try wrestling first to see if mini-heal can keep me alive while bandaging with 50 mana)
and dropping maces and taking fencing for poison
in another post Matron made a few good points as to why Macing sucks... (lack of viable weapons etc)
to be honest I only picked macing because i had a GM fencer/swordsman already (didn't wanna waste all my mace drops/loots)
