well ok these changes are definitley a must, but i have some **** to explain regarding these changes...
first off that toad.. whats his name. toad****** or whatever, i dont think he should be posting, for its obvious that he doesnt know much about UO pvp
magic weps definitley should not be removed from the game, even if there was no such thing as pvm, they still have a place in pvp.. a balanced place. And if your a mage and cant kill a dexer with a magic weapon 1v1 then your horrible, use reactive armor... and mind blast... you might say "mind blast is for n00bs im too 1337 to use it!!" well think about it... dont you say the same again about dexers? fight fire with fire.
dexers useless without magic weps? no but, if any mage uses reactive armor, in a duel or on the field in a 1v1... while wearing leather suit... the mage is sure to win.
reactive armor is ****ing ***, shouldnt be that effective imo, vanqs dont do **** against a mage in full 35+ ar with reactive armor.
i honestly wouldnt give a **** if protection spell was left in 7x duels but reactive armor definitley needs to go....
and if you remove magic weaps from 7x duels, then yes magic armor definitley needs to be removed as well as reactive armor.
i voted yes, because i hate reactive armor, for reasons stated above, and i too think duels should be skill based not item.
any mage that duels naked, should lose. so now everyone should just 7x with gm made armor and weps, no RA... and i dunno about prot, dont care.
