UO Outlands - Arcane Mage - PVM/PVP Hybrid - 15 Minutes in Kraul Hive (unedited) (Part 1)

Arcane Mage Template
My new favorite build, works great as a PVM/PVP Hybrid. Other pure PVM builds can outshine this, and other PVP builds will outshine this. But this build is perfect for PVM in nearly all levels of dungeons and is ready to fight in PVP scenarios. It even works well as a boating template! (part 2 coming soon)

Skills:
120 Necromancy
100 Eval Int
100 Magery
100 Focus
80 Arcane
80 Wrestling
80 Meditation
60 Magic Resist

For more damage you can drop MR and some meditation in favor of Inscription.
For more tankiness you can drop necro or focus in favor of healing, alchemy, or parry.

Aspect:
Weapon: Eldritch
Sometimes I double up on Arcane weap/armor for exp or fun
Armor: Arcane
Can use void, eldritch, or water armor as well depending on the scenario and your own flavor of the build

Chain:
The 3 best links I have found for this build are:
Spell Aspect Effect Chance x10
Spell Damage When No Followers x10
Damage to Diseased Creatures x10
There are likely some other optimizations but these work great

Arcane Codex:
Focus on Leech stance first until you unlock your first finisher which should be Drain. Then you can either unlock your first ability, Leyline or start unlocking t2 finisher.
