Uncommon Templates?

loop 2021-10-02 03:15 #0

I'm looking for uncommon, mostly PVM templates that are still survivable and fun to play. These needn't be anything that can solo peerless bosses or champion spawns - just templates that will play differently from the tamer, sampire, or archer builds that you typically see.

Some thoughts:

Mystic weapon template?
Any poisoning template (mage or dexxer)
An actual garg dexxer (I don't think I've honestly seen a melee garg)
A garg template that takes advantage of 30 innate mysticism
Chiv caster (holy light/holy fist?)
PVM wrestler
Any template that revolves around a specific special move
Melee or archer spellweaver
Focused mage builds (only one spellbook)
Build that uses parrying mastery
Any functional PVM build with ninjitsu
Any function PVM that makes use of hiding/stealth

Theory crafting welcome, but I'm also interested in folks' actual experience with builds that stray away from vampiric embrace, "all kill", etc.

Horrific beast wrestler with those bracers using wrestling mastery, cant parry.

120 healing

120 tactics

120 necro

120 ss

Beast changes unarmed damage to 5-15 i beleive, and gives 20 hpr

As many other forms nerfed into the ground horrific beast can not cast or use any special moves rendering it useless..cuz pvp fix yeah

Could you forgo spirit speak entirely and only take necro high enough to have 100% casting success with Horrific Beast? UO guide doesn't indicate that its bonuses scale with spirit speak or higher necro.

Or, you wouldn't even need 100% success with casting it if you treat it the way samps treat vampiric embrace. 25-50% would probably suffice.

Horrific beast the redheaded stepchild of necro if it worked like say vampiric embrace oh wait nerf this cuz pvp... cuz supid leeches are ok but no regen for you kids....oh the bard builds i could fo if dog form and horrific beast hadn't been shafted...

yes, you only need enough necro to cast horrific beast, but bard, magery, parry, taming, chiv, myst,spellweaving ect make you unfocused, so no spells or speacial moves.

yeah it bugs that most of the forms got shafted. its not like people don't carry talismans of ward removal, or cast dispel. if my dog form can shoot arrows out of its mouth, i should be able to use speacials, and at least spells from that skill
