New thief build

[Delaran]

Hi,

I just want feedback on this build and what I could do to make it better.

GM Hiding
GM Stealth
GM Snooping
GM Stealing
GM Mace Fighting
GM Tactics
GM Parry

I am tempted to either drop Parry entirely or cap both Parry and Tactics at 50 to pick up another GM. I don't intend on playing as a character that can tank (I have a friend who can do that), but more as a damage dealer while they have the monster's attention. Also, I'm not going to give up any thieving skills.

Thanks for any input.

Drop hiding/stealth/parry, take anat/healing/magic resist. Or make a build more dedicated to running away. Just go to the wiki and look at the stealing skill, it has two templates.

drop parry, GM resist if you are planning on going out of town.

It's tough to get in combat skills if you intend on using hiding and stealth with the two thief skills. My recommendation is magery, resist, and wrestling as your other 3.

you've tried to combine a stealth thief and a dexxer thief. you won't make a very good dexxer if you cant heal yourself, and if you're stealthing, your dexxer skills become pretty useless since you wont have a mount.

if you're going to be playing against other players that template wont work very well at all because of the lack of defensive skills. the fact is, while you're utilizing hiding/stealth, you wont be able to use macing/tactics. likewise, while you're using macing/tactics (mounted), your 200 skillpoints in hiding/stealth become useless.

if you plan on using it for pvm/pve its a different story, but i would still consider some defensive skills other than parry (ideally healing/anat, magery, wrestling if you have magery or magic resist). all depends on how you want to play the character.
