I think the only time I fought him 1 on 1 was during an event...which I won. I've fought harder people, but he was not bad.

Quote: well he told me when he was gonna hit,,, dont ask me thats what i thought also
he musta had some good guesses,, i guess ? or maybe something i was doing when i was dueling that lessened the chances of him missing/highered the chances,
and its not random, because there are factors affectting how much you hit for , if you hit and how much damage /feed back damage you deal,,
EG. poison pots make you miss and your hit timer to reset(if timed right)
talk when you know NOOB
or either come beat me in pvp or something..... NOOB 
geez..u cant know where u will hit or not in UO...read something about it, then post crappy sh^t....u can only make ur chances to hit higher...who is the noob now?

nah not true hit someone with a p pot as they raise there wep (you cant hit than)
and theres more than one way to make a warrior miss/ not swing
ashes says you can stop a mage from doing 100% of the spells he cast
but you can also make a warrior miss/not swing 99% of the time 
if i said where you hit i ment when
ps. your the noob 
just because you played anther shard doesn't mean u can come here and know whats up
just like you can't go from obsid to ><uo and do well there,,, wait i take that back because me and ashes could have owned the whole shard our 5 th day there

lol azi, not everyone has the time to be switching skills and stats on their chars every two months. some ppl are just good at pvp no matter their char make up, while others are just good at taking advantage of the system and act as if they were good at pvp.

Hitting someone with a p pot is different to knowing when it'll hit or miss. A p pot simply stops the attack of both parties involved. Knowing when you'll hit is completely different.
Edit:

Being good at pvp is knowing the system inside and out but yeah I know what you're getting at. Taking advantage of the system is like when a warrior pumps his dex to 180 atm, where as being just good at pvp means whenever the system changes, you'll know what changes to make to still remain on top.

Being good at pvp is mostly an issue of speed and coordination. There are alot of tools to a warrior besides character build, weapons and bandages - and this is what separates a good warrior from a great one.
I disagree with the healing/anat thing though, I point-blank refused to drop my anatomy to heal through poison, and I never had any problems in pvp. In my opinion dropping anat was just an 'easy' option for those that dont have the timing to cope with the new poisoning system. Inevitably it makes for an inferior warrior with less potent heals.

There are few players still playing who have *truly* seen me fight at my potential (and I don't mean just 1v1), and that doesnt include those commenting in this thread. I certainly didn't get a name for myself at the time fighting noobs, and it would be quite possible for me to count alot of victories over the winners of previous 'Top 10 pvp' lists in the past couple of years.
You're right, I *was* a pvper, then I became staff. I swapped my battle axe for a Counselor Robe, and I don't think it is fair to victimise me for taking that path. After all, I've worked long and hard for this place.
So please, don't talk trash about things you don't know.

I did some research on the issue, and asked around if ppl knew who thassius was. i got mixed reactions, but 90 percent of the ppl said he was a decent staff member, and about 10 percent of the ppl asked said he had a warrior back in the day. So then my emo friend said.. "look child, thassius was like evander hollifield, he knocked out tyson once, and then he beat him again, then lennox louis came around and he got knnocked the f*** out".. so if you ask around now.. hey was hollifield the greatest fighter ever?,, hollifield will say he was cuz he beat iron mike.. but everyone else will say he wasnt.

I learned the system, and I adapted, so am I to understand that you folks think that is wrong? The ones who have not learned the system and adapted are the ones who no longer play because they were unable to compete or the ones most vocal for change. If dex was not high, there would be no way in hell any warrior could challenge a decent nox mage, and anyone who says otherwise...prove it.
I love how I'm bashed for learning the system...for finding a way to live when others die. I spent hundreds of thousands of gold and countless hours testing things to find a good combination of str and dex...even more time working on timing and preparation for a fight. I plan on spending the same amount of time testing the new system, and adapting accordingly. Timing is everything, and anything that can be done to adjust the timing to your favor should be looked at as good planning, not a cheep tactic.
Even with the high dex and a vanq bow, I still fall to a Nox mage 3 out of 4 times...and there are not many people on the shard who are not nox mages who can beat me. I'll do whatever I have to do to stay competitive even if the people who can't compete (or want instant victory EVERY TIME no matter what) claim it as a crappy tactic.
Edit:
Thassius. Perhaps you should sit down with a pen and paper and work out the numbers. Calculate how much damage deadly poison does, the delay on casting deadly poison, the delay of a cure pot, the delay of a heal pot, the delay of a poison pot, and the delay of healing. When I worked out all these numbers (not including FS or Lightning or harm) there is no way possible for a warrior to live while fighting a mage casting nothing but deadly poison, unless the warrior kills the mage first, or anatomy is lowered. I would like to test this with you, and prove my point, if you have time. The entire fight should last less then 1 minute (about 48 seconds to be more exact)

The Holyfield analogy stinks, because I beat alot more than one opponent, and I when I retired I was at the top. I never got 'knocked the f*** out'.
Still, I don't want to discuss this anymore, because clearly the issue is rife with bitchiness and lies passed through hear'say.
Any more discussion involving my player character will be deleted. I won't have people trashtalk my past, but the bottom line is I am not a player any more. I am a GM.
