For soloing and wearing bronze.
I already have a set of small bronze, and i will play late when there are few groups.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I guess by your join date this is your first char here. Yeah you'll need str if you are going to use bronze. Really though, I'd opt for banded, then mix in better plate as you can (i.e. what we'd call archer armor in early UO). You know, plate helm, breastplate, gloves, boots etc. Fine plate isn't too expensive for a few pcs. You can get a full set of banded for around 100pp.

But banded is less of an issue to start as you can make up the AC by finding a good AC shield. You won't really need a good 2H until you get double attack apart from just keeping the skill up which you can do on dark-green con mobs.

I'd sink stat gear into rings, earnings, weapons that are better than the cheapest junk. Just have good AC armor that doesn't weigh a ton, upgrade it to stat armor later. imo this pretty much goes for any hybrid class.
