Dual Spec Guide.

[Htiek]

ty ellyidol, this is a great guide for new player

and this for extreme player, the minimum base is 114, saved 25 for dex


Before:
base str:125 dex:2 int:125, with rift str:169
hit%:110, crit:21, dodge:11, health:534, regen:17
mana:662, regen:10, damage:144-151, dps:74, armor:132

After:
base str:114 dex:27 int:114, with rift str:158
hit%:113, crit:21, dodge:11, health:529, regen:17
mana:657, regen:10, damage:146-153, dps:75, armor:133

Yeah, that's the best Paladin build. We were discussing dual-specing build where you have to switch, so more of each is required.

[Ellyidol]

Thanks Htiek!

That is a good build! I'm just curious if it still works after update? I heard they fixed loadout glitches such as that which allow equipping of gear with lower stat req. I haven't tried it yet and can only access forums atm.

Doesn't that require 2 respecs though? To equip the str gear, then just update the stats so that you have 158 Str exactly while using rift.

yup, you are right, it takes 2 respecs and it isnt dual anymore, it is another build for pally

[Ellyidol]

Btw, Idk if I'm getting this right, but from the before and after stats, you gain 3 Hit, 2 base damage, 1 DPS, and 1 Armour?

Isn't that a bit low for the 2 respecs used and health/mana reduction? I'd rather put those dex points in int to get more heal/spell damage. I think.

[eowthwin]

How soon can I start doing this?
Right now I'm a level 15 mage and I've put all my points into int, but I've been reading a lot about this whole dual thing and putting points into str. So do I need to put points into int until I hit 125 and then start putting str, or do I just build them both evenly every level?

This guide is aimed for Level 50 currently. I think you can do this with a lot of levels, you just need to know the steps. Right now I'm only familiar with the level 50 way since its when I started.

I don't suggest building up to this stat build until you reach 50. Respec at level 50. I'd suggest a good PvE or levelling build just to get to 50 first.

So how does that work? Just straight int?

Mage? I'd say yes. Higher heal, more spell damage. Assuming you'd be playing with people who want to level too, which means there will probably be a bear, you shouldn't need to tank much.

I think I'm playing with people that want to level too. I haven't bought any of the extra campaigns so I'm just doing this King's Forest mini-dungeon over and over to get up to 18, so I can do everything on the free side before I get Balefort Castle.

[Lesrider]

Yeah int Mage is loads of fun to play through the game with. Mage was the third char I made, but ended up being the first one I got to lvl 50. I didn't lvl my bear and bird to 50 until I saw how squishy mages were in ao3 (but theyre not as squishy anymore). Now I made dual wield for fun and so I don't have to always worry about having a bear tank in the group. But for lower levels, definitely stay int Mage -- nuke everything

[ScionOfDeath]

i was lazy and skipped 35+ posts of this but any skill suggestions for a str/dex bird? skills that can make me half tank and half dps preferably

Thanks, guys. I was already putting everything in Int, but didn't realize this was something you had to be 50 to do. I guess I'm going to try to get to 50 fast because this whole str/int thing sounds really fun. :P

it can be done any level with lower level pink stat boosters. lv 40 and up is just where it's easier.

Just the same as a dex bird IMO. There isn't much difference between a str/dex bird in skills, they still use the same ones.

Uhmmm I was experimenting with attributes and I myself am a dual-spec enchantress...

To be exact, the two fields I'm handling are int and dex... I have only 125 on dex and the rest in int...

Now you said, that you need a minimum of 126 on each stat to dual-spec... But I can freely change into dex and int with my stats... I can equip one handed weapons and two handed weapons on int and dex...

Just wanna make this a suggestion to your guide...

Yeah theres some weird stat calculations somehow. If you do the math 126 is the minimum, but it seems 125 (or even lower from others previous posts) are doable. Then again if you just wanna play it safe and avoid spending on re-specs, 126 is the safest bet for me.

If you have time to read the entire thread, there's a lot of useful inputs from better players

[Eleanor]

Though I just thought you'd like to change the word MINIMUM to something else since there are previous posts (as you say...) that prove otherwise...

Point taken, will do
