Hey all. I am currently playing a melee (swords, tactics, parry, anat, healing, resist, and magery) with the defense talisman. I have 100 str/dex. Should I be using chain or plate? I remember when I played orginal UO at release, no one really wore plate. I am assuming people get concerned about the dex hit? I also remember not recovering mana through plate (at all). Is that the case? Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking the talisman addition. I dont play my bard or tamer anymore
