Provoker: What skill should I drop for GM Stealth?

[alexhendershott]

Hey all. I just started a few days ago. My first character is a Provoker to make some extra cash. Here is my template so far:

GM Music
GM Provocation
GM Magery
GM Meditation
GM Eval
GM Hiding
85 Resist

However, I've noticed already that while dungeon crawling, I am basically always hiding. When a monster dies I tend to run, hide, run hide, loot. Repeat. I thought maybe GM Stealth would be better in this scenario and I can just walk around while hidden.

If I were to go for GM Stealth, what skill would you drop to 0 on my template? Right now I am thinking Resist...but I'm nervous about it.

Thanks!

Depends how your using magery really. if you not pvping and mainly using evs and summons alongside prov to kill mobs drop ( like i do on mine) you could drop Eval. (eval is only a direct damage bonus)

or

drop resist it is a must for pvp and nice for pvm but you wont need it much on a bard you should only ever take a spell or two in damage and your probably just gonna recall away from pks and come back on a pvp toon.

I ran a stealth bard for a long time before I turned him into a tamer bard. I would drop resist for Stealth. Since you will initiate the provo attempt from stealth you don't really need it. Just realize that if you see a PK you will want to insta recall.

How the provo attempts go is you stealth in, mount your ethereal while hidden, attempt provo, if you succeed hide again/ if you fail run away and hide.
