hi kanki


both characters look good for fighting monsters. if you wanted to fight other players though i think you would need the wrestling skill which would help you avoid being hit and avoiding magic spells.

the bard character i think you could drop peace making because on this shard peacemaking is not that great. the reason it is not that good is because the peace making effect lasts a very short time and during that time you cannot use another skill due to the 10 seconds that you can not use another skill.

good luck out there .

Thanks Brother. Helpful as always. Kanki, tell me best combination pls. Pvp char i dont like mage... I like fence.

for a fencer this is good skills , but in pvp you will be fighting mainly mages so the skills to avoid magic would be resisting and wrestling.


wrestling will help you to avoid some spell hits and the resist will make the damage less . i would drop parry, parry would be very good for player vs monster because most monsters are using just physical damage and you can reduce this with the parry skill

but in player vs player on this shard you will be fighting mostly mages.

fencer with posioning is good vs mages but it will always be hard to get the last hit on people because they will run away so you will always need many explosion potions. also mages have a big advantage because they can do a good amount of damage to you and you must rely on bandages + potions. a smart mage will posion you just as your bandage timer will be up and you will only cure the posion and then will be close to dead for their hally hit

melee characters are very hard on this server. it is very dependant on gear and when starting up here its very hard to go out and lose all of your items while learning the game

I don't think you need Wrestling unless you are casting spells. Wrestling reduces the chance that your spell cast will be interrupted. If you have no Magery, I don't think you have any need for Wrestling. Resisting Spells is very good to have if you expect to be involved in any PvP and it helps against magic casting monsters too.

[Jayrich]

maybe im wrong about wrestling but im glad for your input.


good to have all peoples thoughts

So what's the truth then? I have the same set up and wondering about dropping parry

[Pirul]

Wrestling only prevents interruptions, so if your main means of damage is fencing, you might as well skip wrestling and keep your template as is.

As far as your tamer goes, I would drop music and peace for wrestling and resist. This way, you'll be able to get out of sticky situations better than with music and peace. Alternately you could do wrestling and hiding, but wrestling is pretty much fundamental of you plan on escaping PK's.

This bad news "melee characters are very hard on this server." I like melee, i don't like magery skill for pvp. This news disappointment for me.

Incorrect, I think melee skills are a lot of fun on this server. Right now I am rocking a parry macer and with the right disarm and arm technique you can hold your own against a tank mage. Just be properly equipped and stick next to your mark.

*EDIT* Also, im working on reviving a stealth archer squad, anyone interested?
