Well manwinc maybe you know why targeting of the nearest closest mob to you gets all funk as soon as hit area goes off.  I would love to do hit area, but once my current target dies (say im surrounded by 30 ratmen at champ spawn) the next auto target i get is usually not next to me and rather far away.  Unlike out of war mode where you will always have the nearest mob targeted.  It is irritating.  But I would be elated to have some hit energy area, cold area, fire area.  So please let me know if you know a fix.  Even if its a macro button to target nearest. I have not been able to get any of it to work.

Update: Did Undead spawn in Ilsh to test with resist and no parry.

No real issues, hp went a little lower than I would have liked from time to time, but Champ never came even close to killing me, hps never went below 70% on me and that with a paragon rotting corpse attacking me at the same time.

Might stick with this and see how it goes.

Update: Now skilling up Resist and at 95.8 -35 due to protection.  And finally at this level they can only take half my mana and the effect last half as long.  Plus the lowering of the effects on curse, weaken, etc is huge.

I stoned off 120 parrying figure I will try some Ilsh champs and see how I  do. 

Input?

With 0 in parry I can wear a shield right?  For the mods on it.

NoBama. does it work for everything else besides Tailoring Bone? 

Did it used to do Bone and just does not anymore due to changes to menus?

Or did it never do bone?

Let me know I will take a look.  Im getting my grove back.

I am messing with a build right now, since I have never used Resist.  And I got to tell you almost EVERY time I die its due to that GD Mana Drain spell being spammed at me.

I use Armor ignore more than anything Bushido, I am thinking of dropping Bush completely, bringing Parry up to 120 adding in Resist. 

Any thoughts there?  This is on my new Sampire, not Whammy.  Though I am also thinking of dropping Bush down on Whammy too so I can add resist.

Dropping Bush completely on Sampire will add a LOT of mods on a good shield.  Which would be nice.

Just spitballin here.

A Sampire with no parry but lots of Bushido will never damage a shield.  Never.  I've been using the same 150 Luck shield since Shame was revamped and it has never taken a point of damage.

But I am thinking of dropping Bush for Max Parry.    Not the other way around

Thanks for the info and the link manwinc. 

Okay I hate talking about it, so search my past posts, I have an illness and take meds, which causes major memory issues (as 12x pointed out in another thread)

So these questions are answers I at one time knew, save for the stamina/ssi question.  At least I think.

1. To gain Weapon Skills/Tactics off a Wolf Spider with 100% poison weapon, you need to be within a certain number of the spiders skill right?  For weapons and Tactics.  I am pretty sure this number is 15.  What is the number?

2. In regards to SSI and Sta Manwinc tried to explain it to me.  I need a chart and some graphs here as its not making sense.  So, first, does anyone got a link to a good writeup or chart?  And if you are using say a bokuto (2s) and have 180 stamina, does having 40% SSI on the weapon and 5/10% SSI rings do anything?  Or are those places where other mods could be swapped in?  Very confusing.

2b. When adding mods for Stamina, does DEX on Jewels add to stamina as well as adding raw stamina on suit pieces?  I noticed str has NOT been bringing up my hps.  Sigh.

3. I know at a certain level, you can start using honor with Bush to get perfection damage.  As I am thinking of dropping Bush, what is the lowest Bush you need for Perfection?  Its 50 is it not?  And does 50 do the same as say 120 in terms of Perfection?

4. How do you guys rate Resist?  I will be reading on it shortly as I am seriously thinking of dropping some skills down to add it to my template.  I detest that damn mana drain spell.  Imps, Rats, every small little jerkoff just spams the crap out of that spell.  And on any champ spawn the ONLY time I die is when they are 15 strong chain casting that crap and I cannot WW.  So does Resist make a big enough difference to that?  As that is the only spell that I care to weaken or block, what is a good resist to have to combat just that spell?

Listen guys, I know I ask a lot of questions.  I know some dont mind and if there are people that are getting fed up with me asking, please understand...This is just as frustrating to me.  A lot of this stuff I knew and knew very well.  My mind is a fog a lot of the time unless I am doing things daily.  Which I am now, but having been gone for 3-4 years and not using the knowledge I had (not only on the game, but on scripting language too) it has slipped away.  The good end is I still know the more intermediate stuff.  I can read code still and pretty much know what its saying.  Well I dont have to tell you guys I could do this before, a lot of you have seen my work first hand.

Reworking the plant Hort script and doing a complete overhaul.
I was the 2nd imbuing training script.
And then there was the imbue max/enhance repeat script.  Obviously to imbue the mods you want to 100% intensity then enhance.  And it would run over and over until you got what you wanted.

I am frustrated that I forgot all this.  I really am.

The only good part is I LOVE talking my friends here on Scripting and UO tactics, so these posts actually do some good.  It gets conversation going.
