What is your build?
mine currently is:
swords - 100
anatomy - 100
arms lore - 100
tactics - 100
healing - 100
parry - 100
resist - 100
but i am picking up 720 skill cap soon.
not sure if i should drop parry and pick up 70-80 hide
dont think magery is really needed. some say 38-40 magery for magic reflect but with a maxed out talisman and relics, dont think reflect is much use or a big concern.
and is hiding really needed and is 40-50 parry worth having

Those are some good points. 10-20 points in magery can also be useful. If you are fighting lethal poison mobs then being able to cast cure/arch cure from scrolls can be beneficial.

and do you recommend using cure from scrolls or from book. also arch protection add 11 more to your armor rating i think. so how would you set your stats?
and would you drop parry all together and pick up hiding and rest into magery?

Right now I'm running the same build as you. I had hiding before the Arms Lore bullshit.

Its a tough choice parry/hiding. I choose parrying though. The trade offs are intense. Hiding allows you avoid ganks and escape mobs. On a dexer hiding will save you more than magery. Parrying allows me to wear phoenix armor and a hardening invul shield and fight any champ or most mobs. Its a big trade off but I would rather be lazy and not have to worry about changing six pieces of armor and repairing it later each time I finish a champ or dungeon run.

Honestly, its a shame that we must choose between parrying/hiding. I think the Arms Lore benefit should have been included in the meta talisman rather than requiring that we kill off a skill slot.

I have a maxxed out defense meta as well. I prefer the utility of magery over hide/parry. 90/100/35 stats. I use the phoenix armor and equip a heater shield even w/o parrying. Definitely take a little more damage w/o the parry but it is manageable... at least for how I use my char. Also w/o parry the heater shield doesn't get beat up as quickly.

I agree with @Enthalpic, I also preferred to have some magery over parrying/hiding. With a couple of pieces of slayer armour, a swampy and level 7+ defence talisman, you already have a lot of damage mitigation. My preferred points template was:

100 weap/arms/anat/heal/resist/tacts
70 magery
50 parrying

If you intend to use your char in group pvm play... the utility of magery trumps parry/hide imo. If you do your 720 skill cap and go with like 85 magery/35 med you can help out a group a lot more than parry/hide will. Throw up a para field on a bunch of aggro, a quick greater heal or cure on a friendly, nox fields at champ spawns for extra damage... and more.

I am foregoing the armslore bonus for alchy. I want to be able to PvP more so here is my build that is only in transition. My actual skills arent whats listed but what i plan to get to eventually. I may still tweak which ones i have in the 90s to keep some functional magery. This is with a 720 cap.

100swords
100tact
95anat
100 resist
100LJ
95 heal
90alchy
40 magery
