template question

[Livellos]

So i am new to this game, at first on what i read in the forums i wanted to be a hally mage, assuing it was the best pvper? is it realy like this? So i have alredy
Swordsmanship
tactics
magiic
resist
Later i thougt that i dont want to be a hally mage cuz a lot of ppl alredy are.
So i am searching for my template and wanted to ask your help
I want to have a chance in PvP, so i put PvP over PvM
so there are 3 skills left
say what u think about this
sooping - archery
thief - poisoning
hiding - ?
I have heard if played right a thief can be a good PvPer is it right?
pls help me creating my alternative template, cuz i dont wanted to be a hally mage like everybody else but still want to have a chance in pvp. And if hally mage is the best in pvp, what would be the second one? And i could give up my magedream to become a dexxer, i like the poison dexxer idea, ideas pleas

With magery, you want meditation and evalint. Magery, Resist,Eval,Med,Swords,Tacts. - You have no option for stealing w/o snooping or vice versa. I would take med,eval, maybe hiding or default wrestling.

yeah but this would be following the steps of a hally mage....

My preferred hally mage is:

GM Swords
GM Tactics
GM Anatomy
GM Magery
GM Evaluate Intelligence
GM Wrestling
GM Resist

Although I generally try to put some hiding on my characters since I suck at PVP. If so I'd subtract from Eval, Wrestling and Resist and add to Hiding.
