Wrestling Mage, Parry Mage, Tactic Mage

[GenghisXerxes]

Hi guys,
Which template is best for pure mage? Wrestling Mage, Parry Mage, or Tactic Mage?
Also, what is the recommended base stats (given max 255 points)?

[Vander Nars]

parry scribe mage if ur really mean pure, most people dont consider tactics mages pure mages.

parry scribe mage if ur really mean pure, most people dont consider tactics mages pure mages.

so parry scribe mage > wrestling scribe mage?

120 eval 100 anatomy = 120 wrestling without specials

[Vander Nars]

A very basic template would be
120 Mage
120 Eval
100 Anatomy
120 Resist
100 Scribe
120 Parry
40 med/weaving/whatever

some people may even lower parry to 110 and run 50 spellweaving for some pretty decent buffs, its rather common to see 48+ weaving on templates for the buffs.

but why do some mages run around with legendary wrestling?

[Vander Nars]

cause they want specials?

sometimes i like to mix it with ninjutsu insted of meditation or sw insted of parry but most of times this is enought for me

thanks for the pointers.
but looking at it, why choose anatomy over wrestling? is it for the additional 20 skill points? (i.e. 100 anatomy instead of 120 wrestling)

yes

Why is no one asking the best parry/support mage on the sever what he thinks?!

I’ll post templates when I get home

Parry is for wimps

Always go wrestling unless you are a defensive template or something like a spawner

[GenghisXerxes]

if you do have 120 wresting in place of anatomy, then do you still skill up parry? or do you allocate the points into something else, like necro, sw, etc?

[Arden]

120 parry 80 dex (with pots)

or you might as well not be parry.

I disagree with wrestling. IF you are field fighting, wrestling is pointless. And 20 points is >>>>> stun/disarm. There will always be archers that can stun for you in a field fight. Especially on templates that require more +skill, which most parry templates do. Not to mention, you need HCI.

I run either
parry + scribe+ alchy
parry + chiv + 48 sw + alchy (2/6 mage)
Parry + chiv + 120 sw (4/6 mage)

None of those templates run wrestling (bc its a dumb skill for field fighting imo) and all of those templates are 120 parry/80 dex with pots. They also all run an open hand. Having 2 both hands full is the dumbest thing i see nearly everyone on this server do.

PS - ill throw out there, I'm literally the only person on this server running any form of a parry mage that isn't retarded. So take my opinion as you will.
