Poisoning can be applied to all bladed weapons (arrows excluded) and food....it has no benefit to casting.
If you want to put fencing and poisoning on your mage for shock factor it might make for easier recalls however :lol: Or want to be the field posioner/caster in a PK Gank squad :wink: Mage combat is hit and run anyway...being DPed makes it hard to escape.

95 50 80 stats :lol:

Dude if you GMEd poisoning and had fencing, roll with a couple dexxers and you are gold.
It's not a trammie tourney template, it's totally dirty field tactics.

Your dexxer fighters are your hally hits, the DP is the gift that keeps on giving. You can sit and smile as you cast your Flamestrike as he is sweating off your buddies and your poison. Now doesn't that sound like fun?

95 strength 50 dex 80 intelligence. It's not a stand up fighter/caster it's an oppurtunist, backstabbing/casting rogue type.

That's what everyone seems to miss. Every one tries to make totally self sufficient temps and it destroys alot of strategy and diversity. The real game isn't in events.

I encourage interaction, it's time to take the game to another level.

Well also inscription doesn't add to spell damage like in other shards. So didn't know if that was what you were thinking or not. If you don't already have a mage I would just go for the archer/mage template you wanted to make, you definetly need a mage and your already at 85 magery 95 med and gm eval which is really good. Then just make a seperate char that will be a fencer/poisoner or whatever you wanted to do.

You are totally setup for a crafter character. How did you get your intelligence to 105? Wizard's Hat? :wink:
Tinkering
Blacksmithing
Carpentry
Inscription
Poisoning
Magery
Meditation

Thing is you'll need a miner to smelt, who would probably want lumberjacking and alchemy on him...
normally I would say tailoring instead of poisoning but you already got it to 70 :?

Stop reading Darkwings erotica Chum...or you'll go that way
Is that your hand in my pocket or you just happy to see me?

You are right though alchemy on the mule who is risking danger isn't worth it.
I don't know how many character slots he is working with though and he needs an alchemist somewhere.

I can access only two accounts. I don't know if people can still have three or not.
