What is the purpose of war mode?
I don't even use it, since you don't need to in order to attack someone/somemob

AFAIK if a weapon carrier wants to attack a mob they have to be in war mode to do so. Unless I'm missing the obvious?

Don't need it: Razor Hotkeys, in Targetting submenu: Target closest non-friendly will target the closest non-blue creature or player. Then Attack Last. I use this almost exclusively. Also, Set Last Target and then Attack Last can be used if you need to target an enemy who is not the closest non-blue to you (but I usually just run up to them so they BECOME the closest).
Most people like us, or at least they like what we do. Regardless, we appreciate all our victims, and we hope that their encounter with us is a memorable one.

Ah thanks for the info. I've not really made use of Razor beyond crafting/fishing/recall macros, I'll have to have a deeper root around in it sometime.

So is war mode still needed for melee attacks? I'm specifically thinking of dexxers.
Re: What is the purpose of war mode?
War mode exists because razor didn't in our era (and I'd venture a guess that most people in the early days of UO would click or dbl-click to do everything).

The real reason we need war mode is to look bad ass. Try going in and out of war mode thats how you dance UO style.

One other thing no one has mentioned is that it lets living toons see you as a ghost. As far as I know, you can't cast a blind resurrection spell, you have to be able to see your target
