My Support Char or Can't Touch This

[Cerveza]

I use this guy for support. You'll see what I mean.

115 Magery
100 Hiding
80 Stealth
100 Music
100 Peace
85 Vet
80 Lore
60 Med

I carry a set of +30 Vet Jewelry, I think the ring/bracelet also have some Lore as well.

This is a char who can go anywhere (area peace), can res me and pets, can toss out EV's if needed, and is very survivable. This would be the char that I'd run a "find gold on ground, pick it up, send it via BOS" script while I'm farming.

This is also the char who recalls in to res any from my other account. I can use tricks to keep area peace up constantly to get any place in UO. Originally this char was going to have Anatomy/Healing on, but I find that Magery can do the exact same thing, and Mana is self regenerating. An excellent char to stand behind any other and keep things peaced.

I can Image your character having 90 Flutes in his Backpack for that Social Peace

Cool idea, can anyone post some more templates of support characters and write smth more about "using" them? I am planing to do one by myself and dont rly know what is the best idea.

I've been re-thinking this support char in preparation of running a single script client/bot script.

I think I want to have 4/6 chiv casting. I want to keep the hiding/stealth and the magery...

How does 4/6 actually work? If you have <80 magery, isn't there something about 4/6 as well??

To have 4/6 chiv, you must have 69.9 magery or less (this includes all +magery items!). If your total magery is 70 or above, you drop to 2/6 casting.

[Cerveza]

Hmmm.... I'll have to check what the G-Heals would be like at 69.9 Magery, and compare them to Chiv Heals. For strictly support, chiv would probably be better for heal/cure/remove curse.

[UOMaddog]

It's all going to depend on your karma. GHeal's are still good for roughly 30-ish at the level I think, but you can get 4/6 chiv heals up for to 50 if you're Glorious Lord/Lady. It's absurd!! The only problem is that you have to be 1 tile away

[Noobie]

That always suck i have tried to throw a heal in a fight with chiv and it never work they need to change the range.

[UOMaddog]

4/6 chiv heals from a distance would be ridiculous. I don't mind that it's short range, but I think it should be 2-3 tiles, not just 1 tile.

[Paulonius]

I think if you go with Chiv healing on a strictly support toon you need to put in enough ninja to smoke bomb and bang one whenever you get targetted. IMHO the range makes it impraticable for a lot of the tougher mobs you really want it for. However, I like the idea of a 4/6 robot smoke bomber for PvP...

I also wonder about setting up a bot with two cross healing toons that would work a spawn together -- say in Abyss or a champ...
