[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

All-Around Build

Skills and their importance to Level 15 Bears [NOT IN ORDER]

• 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

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.
