There is a 2 page thread on tamer builds just below this...It is titled "peacemaking"

That is interesting foot, its the first I'd heard of hide on a tamer.

A tamer without wrestling is a dead tamer.

I'm probably the greatest tamer in the history of the world so you might want to go with that unless you want wasted skills and like dying over and over.

Taming
Lore
Vet
Music
Provok
Magery
Med

It lacks defense on all levels, but if you know how to play it and you're an experienced UO Player, you'll be just fine.

Is it generally agreed that Wrestle is better than EI with

Taming
Lore
Vet
Magery
Med
Resist

for the tamer build?

I asked in IRC last night and most people said wreslte over EI.

I hate not having any firepower with a GM mage!! But i suppose this char should be rolling with drags on a mare...

Well, if you have enough pets and/or have pets its possible to stay away and prevent interruption...but wrestling isn't just to prevent interruption but to prevent damage.

If you have no wrestling...the orcish archers will drop you realllly fast.

Blackfoot, I think you need to be reminded here that no one likes you.

And I'd also like to say that there's a 99% chance you're full of shit. The only way I believe the "havent died in 3 weeks" story is if you use your dragons to hunt mongbats on some remote island. Even then I'm not sure I'd buy it.

Lich Lords? What time do you typically farm there? I may come watch a master in action.
