Resist
magery 50
tracking 50
My questions are...I have a macer who will be wearing full plate armor and using a shield. With using 25mana for magery you can cast reative armor, reflect, and a paralize/harm. With +20 to agilty and strength using potions before battle. I feel this temp could be very strong for PvM and hold its own for PvP. Also I have some magic items for added parrying like 110 to parry ect. With 120 strenght for 2min and having healing and drinking heal/cure potions I was wondering if the temp could be hard to kill. Also I plan on using scrolls just for recall,reactive armor,spell reflect, and maybe a harm/paralize. I plan on using explosion potions also becasue its one button to disarm a shield and equip. Any input by the best PvPers would be great. Thanks

Right out of the gate I'd say good luck casting reflect or para with only 50 magery. The usefulness of a shield in pvp is debatable, as you're most likely to encounter tank mages who will be more than happy to keep you drinking cure pots...and won't really be hitting you often enough to make the shield justifiable.

What magery do I need to never fail from a scroll for paralize/Reflect.

Well, casting from scrolls 50 will be more than enough to ensure you never fail 5th circle.

Edit: Hrm. Somehow skimmed over the portion of your original where you mention that. Sorry.

According to the wiki (http://wiki.uosecondage.com/?title=Magery), at 50.1 skill you will never fail a level 2 spell. Since a scroll uses the difficulty of a spell two circles below it, a level 4 scroll should be on the level 2 skill curve. So I'm going to go with 50.1.
What i consider a dexer 95 str 90 dex 40 int Mage, Resist, Weaponskill, anatomy, tactics ,healing and a 7th skill, The 7th skill is debatable wrestle(god mode) ,hide,archery,parry and poisoning which i would not waste 100 points just to be able to reapply poison in the field vs carrying a few dp weapons.
This enables you to cure Heal gheal ra protection mr and gate even for your full mana bar if needed.i would use Greater pots white blue red yellow orange and teleport /invis/mr item.

I could be wrong, but I recall in other threads (that I of course do not remember how to find them) that our wiki is incorrect and the stratics magery table is.

EDIT:
Not evidence by any means, but this is one if the threads I was thinking of.
