I'm torn.

Post by Tasdik »

As to what build I want to be. I was going to go pure cleric. But only because we didn't have many. Now, by some miraculous miracle, we have loads. So efff that.

Anyways, trying to be effective in a party, while still being good in pvp. I've never had a warrior or cleric or any of the other "must have" builds for 8/8 partying past like level 30. To be honest, I'm hesitant to be the person that everyone's relying on. Like on Venus, I was a wiz/bard. So I helpful, but if I had to afk for 3 mins the whole party didn't have to stop. Which would be the case if I was a tank or cleric.


Current build ideas are:

1. Wiz/cleric
2. Warlock/No sub. Eff all that sp. I can farm later and still be decent, right? RIGHT?!?!
3. other?

I already had a wiz/bard so it's kinda redundant to make another.

Ugh, idk, TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!

Wiz/cleric would be ok, or pure bard no sub or very minimal cleric sub, although bard in pvp would not be great.

Warlock no sub? I suppose if you're not planning on getting higher than 80 or so, I don't know the sp requirements but it can't be pretty.

Hard to say, you probably know that the fun party builds usually aren't great in pvp unless you're talking warrior/cleric.

warlock without cleric get's the job done but you really feel like something is missing...
and even without cleric you'd need a 3-4 gap so that's really demanding.

wiz/cleric is a basic need for any party, killing alot, being able to heal and bless... thumbs up for this
If you have to afk you can just whip out a shield and cleric rod and spam a 8 man healing skill by putting something heavy on the number, then when you are back-> action


ps: were suggestions supposed to be euro only?

Yeah I know. I really wanted to go rogue/cleric. But meh. =/

Ideally, yes, euro's only. Had my fill of chin builds. And I want to be a valuable asset to a party. *Unless of course you have some uber secert ninja pwnage build you've been hiding from all of us.*

I honestly doubt I'll get over 60 on this char. Let alone 80. The current plan is to just have a blast, and worry about stuff later. We'll see how it goes though.

I'm currently like wiz/cleric the best. for the PVE ability and a Wiz/cleric, when played right, can be pretty dang good in PvP too.

Question is, LA or Robe?

u can robe in early lvls but switch to LA by 4d or its gonna be hard since u don't have much speed from just robes n ur not much of an evader like bards. You r there to take hits, heal em fast and nuke.

Seriously, Warrior/Wizard

It really comes down what is fun to you, if you're thinking about 1v1, you shouldn't worry about that. Since the game is usually group pvp, at least should be. The question is..

Do you want to be a hard hitter?
Do you want to stand well in a brute fight?
Do you want to make others stronger?
Do you want to make it easier for others to kill?

Wizard, Rogue
Warrior
Cleric, Bard
Warlock

If just for fun, just think about one class for now and about PVE. Generally PVE equates to group PVP

I dont think we have a full time cleric at all. We have lots with subs - which is good for bless cycle but not really a full time cleric.

i was one of the people who thought "sh1t, i ain't being a cleric, fk no, clerics don't play the game"

i must say that i had a surprise when i played a cleric and got to a decent, but it's still diff, unless u just love being the boss and be the father of everyone genuinely, then cleric isnt for u, SO, i'd recommend going warlock :P since u've alredy gone wiz and stuff, warlock would be fun, just keep a 4 lvls gap, or lvl ur skills every 4 lvls (what i do/used to do)

Went Wiz/cleric. I really do love playing as a wiz in parties. And it's not as sp heavy as lock would be. I think. Heh. I may go buy myself an sp ticket/gold ticket to rape you guys, leveling wise. But meh.
