I personally prefer Magery on my dexxers. Like said above...mini heal, GH, cure, strength, weaken, poison, reflect, recall...
Quick Cures? Try gCure Pot its Quicker Oh, so your GCures can cure lethal poison now? Wow, I need some of your stock. Also, what happens when you run out of GCures when dueling a poisoner? Is this where the Hiding skill becomes of use?
Reflect is what delays the inevitable, o wow you reflect one explo or ebolt, hiding you can use every ten seconds, disrupt their casting/drops/ and heal yourself while invised Reflect is not for your safety, it is to make them waste mana - this is a big deal to a dexxor to have their opponent not have full mana. Hiding again is a waste for PVP.
Buffs to counter debuffs? Try agi and str pots This is on top of pots, not instead of.
quick heal lol - limits to small heal, without EVI is what 8 hp? - or insta-click gHeal pot for 26? I would LOVE to see you survive a mage dump without this -- Maybe you prefer to run or does the hiding skill come into play again? Maybe a mix of both?
reactive armor is crap - only delays the inevitable lol, plus lumber jacks are primary for MAGEKILLING so Reactive is basically pointless This is for duel pits or field 1v1s... Ever try to fight another dexxor with your dexxor? Trust me, any advantage will make it a less painful fight.
Poisoning - Is that a joke? try a poisoned Katana? much faster, hits harder, and Casting poison means you 1-Drop your weapon - 2 - are NOT doing damage 3 - have to carry regs - 4 - pointless in so many ways You wouldn't believe how a quick poison can help win a fight when your opponent is at low HP. They never expect it from a dexxor and it gives ya time for a final hit. If you have magery, you will have regs.. Face it, dexxors are expensive to stock -- weapon(s), armor, aids, REAGENTS, potions, etc -- cutting out reagents will not change that.
Also GATING? Are you frigging serious - Costs 40 mana lmfao wtf is the point in Gate Travel when it would take you (I dont wanna do the math on that) ALMOST FOREVER TO regen that mana back and be viable to use in a pvp situation? Which also means that you dropped DEX (Primary stat for such a melee oriented template, slower swing speed) for INT (which gives you mana that is wasted ,because no evi makes most spells worse, and without med you can kiss your mana goodbye after one use) gating..........wow I don't use it often, but sometimes its invaluable to be able to gate your group of folks quickly to a location that maybe only you have a rune to. If you don't have magery, you will need to RUN to places.. like dungeons, houses, away from fights? Sure you can rely on a recall scroll in a runebook, but why limit yourself to have a skill like hiding?
Hiding is reusable skill and already stated some of the benefits Hiding ftw? am I really reading this for a PVP template?
Alchemy is foolish? Yeah it is super foolish when you are chasing a runner for 15 minutes to get your kill yeah super dumb to get the 20 something damage explo pots lol Alchemy is general is NOT useless.. Alchemy ON A LUMBERJACKER is useless...
This is all literally off the top of my head....... You got more for me to disabuse?
Continued........... Here we go again...
This also means you are wasting 100 points in Magery to cast GATE? instead of maybe like 60.1 to cast reflect? LMAO, why don't you get 60 magery and tell me how strong your magical reflection spell is... frankly its worthless unless at GM magery. Not to even mention how weak ALL of your magery spells become when not GM.
My dexxor has hiding over magery and you can't make me change!
I swear its like arguing with a child....
HAHAHA nanananabooboo I beat you haha poopoo pants butt face dum dum!
It still feels like I am talking to a child... not sure why.
When you start talking to a stone, sometimes you have to resort to alternative methods to stop the madness.Yeah i had to throw that in there for sarcasm purposes. Its a big word i know. Anyway back on topic those are some reasons why you might want to pick hiding over magery. Guess it comes down to play style though and what you wanna do with that template.
Most people make LJers for Mage Killing
Ps haly most times i like what you got to say cause ur usually insightful but u acted like a little school girl in this thread. Debates are for grown ups i guees. Next time just prove mewrong dont immediately resort to falsely quoting me

It really does not come down to play style. For PVP, every dexxor needs to have Magery or else they will be lacking in one area or another. For all PVP templates, Magery is a core skill that cannot be replaced. This goes for both Mages (duh) and for dexxor templates.
If you have read any of my other posts on dexxors, then you know that I dislike lumberjacker templates. I eat them whole with my macer every day.. and he doesn't have an extra skill to give him more damage. But.... if you must have a lumberjacker dexxor for some strange reason... then the only way to go is to have magery as your 7th skill.
Eat 120 peace. Drop peace. Keep 720 skill cap.
Nah, it's always been that way. The first skill that goes above 100 pushes your skill cap up, but you are only supposed to be able to use those extra points on that skill you raised the skill cap on.Also i can see them changing that due to the fact on their website under powerscrolls it says they dont raise 700 skill cap lol
I don't know Bromista... Sounds awful fishy to me...Sure you can't go over GM in any skill that isn't scrolled but once you push your cap you have those pts to play with.
Staff knows.
I have done this on two characters. I have a 5X tamer with 105 taming and 115 Lore. I had the 105-115 peace laying around and was already 115 lore. It just so happened I found a 120 peace first (well it was cheaper than buying a 120 lore for 500k also) and bumped my cap to 720 to fit it all in.
Not an exploit, not a bug, just being creative with distribution of skill points is all.
