    Default Twinking for Dummies!

    This is basically twinking, in the form of Ellyidol's or Physiologic's or MrWallace or anybody else's guides.

    Table of Contents
    Post One - Bears
    Post Two - Birds
    Post Three - Elves
    Post Four - Tips, Testing, Credits, Terminology, and Stat Points

    [SO FAR ONLY LEVEL 1-20]

    BEARS
    For bears, the skills may not look like very damaging skills, or whatever, but these babies tend to beast at every level 1-20, and can still beast if used right, at levels 25-35.

    Level 20!
    Skills and their importance to Level 20 Bears [NOT IN ORDER]
    • Vengeful Slash (VS)
      Most builds tend not to have VS in them, but it is a good second slash, and if you have the skill and speed to get SMS and VS off in your combo at same time, you will be beast. Pretty much impossible though, with GCD.
    • Rage
      This is a very important skill, with +30 Damage and +30 Critical % when maxxed. MAX THIS!
    • Hell Scream (HS)
      This usually tends to be the deciding factor in Bear Vs. Bear PvP. ALWAYS START YOUR COMBO WITH BUFFS, THEN HELLSCREAM! MAX IT!
    • Crushing Blow (CB)
      This is a good skill to have, but the range can be it's downfall. Do not invest heavily in it, because if you miss, most likely, you are done for. However, if you can get the timing down, and distance, you will benefit from having it high. But never start off, if you are a new twink, with high CB.
    • Iron Blood
      This is a good skill to invest in, as well, but not too much. Most builds have 1-3 Iron Blood in them.
    • Super Mega Slash (SMS)
      This is not an..important skill, but it is a very good slash, and combined with Stomp in quick succession, can do a super knockback. Most builds have either 1 or 0 SMS in them.
    • Crippling Slash
      This is not one of the better slashes. Most builds have zero Crippling Slash in them.
    • Taunt
      This is a good skill to have, if the surrounding skills around it are good. It gives a nice +2 Dodge, which can stack into +4 dodge. Some builds have taunt in them, but it's not worth investing in, in my opinion
    • Evade
      In my opinion, this skill is not worth putting points into. At all. Most builds have zero to one evade.
    • Stomp
      Arguably the most important skill besides Hell Scream or Rage. This is the main damage dealer, and when coupled with SMS, provides a devastating combo.
    • Restore
      Not a very good skill to put points into, but if you are a kite bear, it could be a good skill just to regain some health for a little period of time. Usually nobody puts points into restore except for some kite bears.


    Builds
    So now that you have gone through the process of learning what skills are important, you can devise your own build to start twinking! Of course, with some starter builds to build around.

    This will be in the x-x-x-x format.
    For example 1-0-3-3 would equal 1 in Vengeful Slash, 0 in Stomp, 3 in Rage, and 3 in Taunt.

    Damage Bear Starter Build
    0-5-6-0
    0-1-1-0 Combo : Buffs + Hellscream + Crushing Blow + Stomp + SMS
    0-6-0-0



    Defense Build
    0-2-6-0
    0-1-4-0 Combo : Buffs + Hellscream + Crushing Blow + Stomp + SMS
    0-6-0-0


    All-Around Build
    0-3-6-0
    0-1-1-0 Combo : Buffs + Hellscream + Crushing Blow + Stomp + SMS
    3-6-0-0

    ================================================== =================================

    Level 15!
    Skills and their importance to Level 15 Bears [NOT IN ORDER]
    • Vengeful Slash (VS)
      Most builds tend not to have VS in them, but it is a good second slash, and if you have the skill and speed to get SMS and VS off in your combo at same time, you will be beast. Pretty much impossible though, with GCD.
    • Rage
      This is a very important skill, with +30 Damage and +30 Critical % when maxxed. MAX THIS!
    • Stomp

However, if you can get the timing down, and distance, you will benefit from having it high. But never start off, if you are a new twink, with high CB.
    • Taunt
      This is a good skill to have, if the surrounding skills around it are good. It gives a nice +2 Dodge, which can stack into +4 dodge. Some builds have taunt in them, but it's not worth investing in, in my opinion
    • Super Mega Slash (SMS)
      This is not an..important skill, but it is a very good slash, and combined with Stomp in quick succession, can do a super knockback. Most builds have either 0 to 3 SMS in them.
    • Restore
      Not a very good skill to put points into, but if you are a kite bear, it could be a good skill just to regain some health for a little period of time. Usually nobody puts points into restore except for some kite bears.
    • Crippling Slash
      This is not one of the better slashes. Most builds have zero Crippling Slash in them.



    Builds
    As I'm not a Level 15 Specialist, I may only offer one build to you, a generic build.
    Use a launcher for maximum success.

    Generic Build
    0-5-6-0
    0-2-1-0 Combo: Rage + CB + Stomp + SMS
    0-0-0-0

    ================================================== =================================

    Level 10
    I'm just going to take a shortcut here. Use a level 10 launcher if you can find one, and use an expert/artisan leather.
    All you'll need is 6 rage, 2 stomp, 1 SMS. That's the build.

    Birds!
    There are two kinds of birds that you can use to be successful - Warbirds, or Kite Birds. I'll cover both. However, there will be only a level 20 guide, because birds at 15 and 10 are almost non-existent, and they are extremely hard to manage. I have no experience whatsoever in 15 and 10 bird twinking. Sorry.

    Level 20 Warbird!
    Skills and their importance to Level 20 Warbirds [NOT IN ORDER]
    • Blast Shot
      This is a very important skill, as it is the best damage dealer, probably in all of PL. It has many uses, like obviously killing, or popping a mage's mana shield. Most builds have 3 - 5 in them.
    • Avian Scream
      This is a good skill to have, but sometimes it doesn't land. It does bring stun into the picture, and if you can land it, you have a better chance of winning. Most builds have either 1 or 0 in Avian Scream
    • Thorn Root
      This is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SKILL, as it has a small DOT (Damage Over Time) and essentially "roots" the opponent, allowing you to juke or catch up to the fleeing prey. Usually every build has 1 root in it.
    • Focus
      This is also an extremely important skill, as it buffs your crit by a lot, and also increases your hit %. (As a warbird, your hit % is extremely low sometimes) Most builds have 4-6 in Focus.
    • Meditation
      This skill is not very useful, but since birds are major mana guzzlers, it doesn't hurt anybody. 0 in this skill is recommended, but some builds have 1 in Meditation.
    • Restore
      This is a crappy skill. NEVER put ANYTHING into Restore
    • Evasion
      Evasion is an extremely good skill to have, in my opinion. I personally would max this out, but some people do not appreciate the +30 dodge as much as I do. Builds can go from 0-6 Evasion.
    • Break Armor
      If you didn't invest in Evasion as much as I did, then max out Break Armor. It can really affect the battle, as -24 Armor when maxed out is a bigger number than it seems.
    • Shattering Scream
      This is a useful skill, because if it is used 1-2 (Shattering Scream + Blast Shot) it makes the "Cruel Blast" combo, which deals a lot of damage. Most builds have 1 Shattering Scream in them.
    • Repulse Shot
      As a warbird, you do not really need repulse. I would not recommend it, but some people put 1 in repulse.
    • Blinding Shot
      In my opinion, this is a useful skill, but not useful enough to put any points into. However, a lot of builds have 1-3 Blinding Shot in them.




    Builds for Level 20 Warbirds
    Dodge Build
    3-0-1-5
    0-0-6-1 Combo: Focus/Evade + Thorn Root + Blinding Shot + Break Armor + Shattering Scream + Blast Shot
    1-0-0-2

    Damage Build
    4-1-1-6
    0-0-0-5 Combo: Focus + Thorn Root + Break Armor + Shattering Scream + Blast Shot
    1-0-0-1


    ================================================== =================================

    Level 20 Kite Bird!
    Skills and Their Importance to Level 20 Kite Birds! [NOT IN ORDER]
    • Blast Shot
      As with the warbird, Blast Shot is the main Damage Dealer. For Kite Birds I would recommend 4-6 Blast Shot.
    • Avian Scream
      This is not a good skill for a kite bird to have, as if you are kiting right, you should never be able to use it. Do not put any Avian Scream into a kite bird.
    • Thorn Root
      As with the warbird, this is an extremely useful skill to have. If your opponent gets too close, thorn them. 1 in Thorn Root is recommended.
    • Focus
      This is not as important compared to a warbird, as a kite bird should have sufficient enough hit % and doesn't really need critical % if the opponent barely touches them. 2-4 Focus is suffic
    • Meditation
      As with the warbird, this is not extremely useful, but it can be a minor help. 0 or 1 in Meditation.
    • Restore
      Restore may be useful for a kite bird, 25 health may keep them alive for final Blast Shot. 0 tr 1 in Restore.
    • Evasion
      Max this baby. Dodge is very useful for a kite bird.
    • Break Armor
      This is not very important for a kite bird. It's still a good help, but not as much. Only 1 to 3 points in Break Armor.
    • Shattering Scream
      You can still combo with this (Blast Shot + Shattering Scream), so put one in Shattering.
    • Repulse Shot
      A well timed Repulse will frustrate the opponent and keep you safe. 1-4 in Repulse.
    • Blinding Shot
      The hit debuff may come in handy. Put 1 to 3 in Blinding Shot.



    Builds
    Snowball Launcher Build
    5-0-1-2
    0-0-6-2
    1-1-1-0
    Combo: There isn't really a combo for kite birds, you just have to stay out of harm's way (E.G. Bear Stomp) and kite the hell away. You'll find more on this in the strategy section (Post 4)

    Crossbow Build
    5-0-1-3
    0-0-6-1
    1-1-1-0
    Combo: There isn't really a combo for kite birds, you just have to stay out of harm's way (E.G. Bear Stomp) and kite the hell away. You'll find more on this in the strategy section (Post 4)

    Tips For Level 20 Bear
    • Always try to get Hell Scream off first.
    • Stomp + SMS used in Quick Succession = Super Knockback
