This is a guide for the Dexchantress Hybrid (Enchantress using Dex). I spent the past few hours trying to find my own answers to my problems so yeah. I'll pretty much just keep editing this thread as I level my newly made character.
1. Stat Build(s)
A. One option is a full Dex build, basically you put all of your points into Dex and nothing else. This build focuses on increasing Hit%, Dodge%, Crit, and DPS. If you follow this build you will practically be identical to a regular Dex Bird, except you will have the skill set of a Mage.
This is an effective PvP build.
B. The second build, which I'm using, is a mixture of Dex & Int. This build focuses more on making the Hybrid well rounded by only using the necessary amount of Dex required for equipment. Then the left over points go into Int, which increases the effectiveness of the Mage skills.
This is an effective PvE build.
Extra Information: I'm using the second build. If you plan on using the second build as well keep reading. I spent quite some time finding the general Dex requirements for the armor & weapons for every 5 levels. The chart below should help some of you keep on track of how much Dex you should have at certain levels.
Level 14 = 45 Dex
Level 19 = 61 Dex
Level 25 = 80 Dex
Level 30 = 94 Dex
Level 35 = 112 Dex
Level 40 = 131 Dex
Level 45 = 142 Dex
Level 50 = 158 Dex
I took it further than that and made a table that shows you how to evenly distribute your points every level, up to level 50. The table may seem funky or inconsistent, but I calculated it for a good hour & I know it's all right. Remember that this is to help you distribute points so that you can reach the amounts of Dex in the chart above while still putting some points into Int.
Level 14 - 19:
- For 4 levels: 3 Dex + 2 Int
- For 1 level: 4 Dex + 1 Int
Level 19 - 25:
- For 5 levels: 3 Dex + 2 Int
- For 1 level: 4 Dex + 1 Int
Level 25 - 30:
- For 4 levels: 3 Dex + 2 Int
- For 1 level: 2 Dex + 3 Int
Level 30 - 35:
- For 4 levels: 3 Dex + 2 Int
- For 1 level: 4 Dex + 1 Int
Level 35 - 40:
- For 4 levels: 4 Dex + 1 Int
- For 1 level: 3 Dex + 2 Int
Level 40 - 45:
- For 4 levels: 2 Dex + 3 Int
- For 1 level: 3 Dex + 2 Int
Level 45 - 50:
- For 4 levels: 3 Dex + 2 Int
- For 1 level: 4 Dex + 1 Int
2. Skill Build(s)
Please realize that this is only to help guide you, not me trying to tell you what is best.
With skill builds, you can really just do your own thing with this. However, if your finding trouble still, you can follow the skill build I'm following (credits to Viper).
Heal - 5
Lightning - 5
Resurrect - 3 (At level 50 all skills, excluding Rez, will be maxed out. You'll have 3 remaining points so you may as well put them in Rez)
Fire Storm - 5
Ice Storm - 5
Drain Life - 5
Weakness - 5
Nightmare - 5
Magic Shield - 5
Blessing of Vitality - 5
Blessing of Might - 5
The skill build is followable all the way up to level 50 as well. I give full credit to Viper for it though. You can change it to what ever fits your style best because everyone plays & handles things differently.
3. Equips
The point of this Hybrid is to obtain the skills of the Mage while maintaining the positives of being a Bird. So equipment is pretty easy.
Helm: Any archer helmet, look for Horus/Thoth once you reach 45 though.
Armor: Any archer armor, look for Thoth once you reach 45 though.
Weapon: At lower levels, if you follow my even distribution table, you'll be able to hold both Dex & Int equips for a little bit. For the sake of leveling faster, I suggest using a staff, wand, etc at lower levels but once you get near 20 I recommend finding a talon & wing.
