Thanks, VS if I get my hands on a lance I'll try it out, what would a suitable spear substitute till them.

d'jinn spear of thoth is perfect, its also has armor break proc so it accualy lowers your enemies armour.

Excellent, thanks, good guide once again. (devs any chance of a sticky)

Edit: should i have one skill point left unused.?

thanks

this guide was way behind schedule, mostly because the devs july roadmap was so behind schedule, the skill conversion update was planned for the 7th of july and it wasnt released until a few days ago.

Also why the lvl 40 shield and there skill point left over.

[Violentsaint]

Also why the lvl 40 shield and there skill point left over.

ops soz i edited the stats of the shield but not the req and lvl (copy and pasted lvl 40 paladin guide layout and used it as template)

as for the leftover skill point... i donno what you mean? i dont have a leftover one... heres a screenshot as proof.



you only end up with 44 skill points at lvl 45. because you dont start getting skill points till lvl 2.

[Raxie]

nice guide, violent! but is that a mistake from you; to say to have a level 40 thoth shield?

[jonboy]

You list weakness at 4 should be 5 then

[Violentsaint]

lol thanks guys.. kinda did the guide in a hurry

[Raxie]

Weakness 4

that is the problem.

This is fun, before finding this post, I was considering playing a battle mage as a shadow knight. Weakness as a disease and drain life as a death touch. Not sure on how to build her, but I will be basing much on your builds. Currently she is only level 19 and lots of fun.

Any input with the recent rebalance and changes to weapons speeds? I have been considering using axe instead of sword for the much higher dps.. but are we really dps or should we still concentrate on boosting out hit/crit that should help out our AOE damage etc?

As far as I see it, we go with str to be able to take advantage of the higher armor stats associated with it, but are still essentially casters..

Anyone care to share their views?

thanks,

P.S. so far it's lots of fun going in blasting and not having to run back, but staying in the midsts of the fray.

The first 4 skills are assigned a point and a position when learned. You can simply respec, preferably after you learn your first 4 skills, and assign all the points manually. Respecs can be purchased ahead of time in the plat store ahead of time (5 for 10 plat)

But there a small difference, your str 156, mine mage: 149, the diff point go to int. Dont know this is better or not.

[Violentsaint]

I'm buffed in my screenshot so I have +5 more strength then I usually do

As long as u have enough str to wear all the gear. Put all ur leftover points into int

[magehot]

Hopeless for str mage or pure mage, having to waiting until the next update, devs please adjust up mage power !!!!
