You sir, Underestimate me. XD

In any event I certainly WILL atack him solo. (I will do or do not, there is no try)

It would be refreshing to have a mob I actually NEED help with.

Plastic Man has too much patience. I probably could solo everything but if it takes more than ~45 min, I get too pissed and just leave.

Everything can be soloed given enough time and patience. It all depends on where the individual draws the line (60 deaths and 1.78 hours doesn't phase me unless I have something I need to do IRL).

I'll try to concede your wish.

I've spent as much time as needed to solo everything in game pretty much, aside from a few of the ML champs (Really no point in the ones in Ilsh IMO) and on grizzle but I skipped grizzle just because I got bored of UO before I got to him.

You can replace swords with anything else.

Blackhole is a nice wep to use. I can tank almost anything with this - the weakness is lack of mana regen, some mobs dont take lot of damage and are very hard with this template (like shadow knight) while some others like DF are a walk in the park.
I gave this template a shot. It may be my new favorite to play. I just acquired a blackhole sword and it works very well with this template.
I was also thinking about what you said about the parry/bushido temp. Do you really need parry if you have bushido? I have played a char with bushido before but it was an archer.

Parry + bushido makes it so you parry witout a shield. Your chance is higher with a 2 handed wep than a 1 handed but you still get a good parry chance with 1 handers. It makes it much easier to solo bosses that his mad melee shot or anything that melees you decently well. Pretty much with a leech wep is makes it to where you damage output/leeching is higher than the damage you take, which keeps you alive and therefor shortens the time it takes you to defeat said mob.

This is why I can with that single melee character solo everythign in the game.

Used to be that way on OSI too until they changed how leech works on weapons. On OSI the way it works now is it goes by the speed of the weapon so the slower it is, the more % you leech (So a leech lance would go farther than a leech butcher knife). Archers got it nasty there too as it's 50% of that for ranged weapons.

Thanks Plastic Man!
