**PART ONE** LEVELS 5 AND 10

LEVEL 5 RHINO

First off, let me tell you, it wrecks. *proof*



All the other narbs in the lvl 5 pvp range don't stand a chance against this 10 armor "tank" (giggle).



The Build



As you can see above, the build is 1 Charge and 3 Restoration. The 3 Restoration is absolutely necessary in order to tank the other level 5's you will meet. Bears are probably the hardest, given they have rage and therefore a large damage boost. *WARNING* If you've seen any other guides with 1+ Rhino Might, do NOT do that. It wastes vital mana, and does almost no damage anyway.



Stat Distribution



The stat distribution is 7 str, 22 int, and 1 dex. The need for the 22 int is for the Alchemist Armor (see "stats" spoiler for more information). You may try the other stats, but you will lose faster and more often than if you go int.



The Gear (plus stats)



The Lysorian helm is by far the best helm for a level 5 rhino twink. It offers the most crit of any helm, but is very rare. There are lower, weaker versions of it, but I use the level 4 version, as it is the highest (to my knowledge).



The Necromancer staff is your primary weapon (purchasable in the Plat Store for 5 plat). It does the most damage of any level 5 staff, and is the only level 5 green staff.



This Flaming Axe is your best bet for an axe. Purchasable in the Plat Store for 5 plat, it can be used with 7 strength. It also has fire proc, which may do extra damage to your enemy.



The Broken Shield of Virtuos is my favorite level 1 shield. It offers an extra 1 int (for extra skill damage/restoration), 1 armor (the highest amount for a level 1 shield), and is pretty much the only level 1 shield besides the cheap ones purchasable from Ozz or a different NPC merch.



The stats with the staff loadout. (just for giggles)



Strategies

Bear
Since there is really no need to kite bears (they mostly use 3 rage, 1 stomp), all you have to do is back up every 5 seconds to evade their puny 4m stomp, and you're all set.

Mage
There really are none, but all you have to do is out-tank them. It'll be a near endless fight anyway, if they're using a 3 heal, 1 frost build. But overall, they're pretty squishy at level 5.

Bird
All I have to say is... OMG Y SO EZ?! Birds are very easy, especially after the nerf. The fight lasts about 30 seconds. All you have to do is out-tank them, and charge as much as possible to stay in range.

Fox
See "bird"

Rhino
Don't even bother. There will not be a victor in a fight against another rhino using this build. HOWEVER, if you know for a fact they're using Rhino Might, give it a go. No hurt in trying.
There you have it, guys. One of the most in-depth guides for level 5 rhino. Enjoy!



LEVEL 10 BEAR [w/ post forg]

Pre-forg, this was arguably the most fun lvl and class in the game. Before idiots weren't trolling with forgs, and respect existed in the game, 10 was a viable lvl. It still is, of course. 10 will hopefully never die.

Pre-Forg Build:
6 Rage
2 Stomp
1 Super Mega Slash (sms)

Now, you may be saying "only 2 stomp? are u crazy dep? ur my fav mage anyway.", but 2 stomp was all that was necessary. All the new ppl wait 'til 4m to stomp anyway, nowadays. Anyway, you basically want to get in to 5m-6m and then use your pro stomp/sms combo. Hopefully, they get stunned and thrown back. With more luck, you'll be free to move and stomp/sms them again if they're still immobilized.

Post-Forg Build:
5 Rage
3 Stomp
1 Sms

Yeah, yeah. 5 Rage. Since you're using the nubish forg anyway, you only need the range. The bow does the rest for you.

Stats:
Full Dex
7 Str (base)
1 int (base)

Gear:

Pre-Forg
Sniper's Helm
Sniper's Talon
Expert/Artisan* Armor
Sniper's Shield
* I used to use artisan, and i got roughly a 2.5:1 kdr. All u flamers out there can just use expert.

Post-Forg
Sniper's Helm
Punctually Forgotten Bow
Expert Armor

This really requires no explanation.

Strategies


Mage: Make sure to stay close, so they can't kite you. I'd have to recommend that you don't fight any mages besides ones roughly your level. The reason is, you only have 2 stomp, lol.

Bird: None really exist at this level, but stay close so you can stomp/slash them.

Bear: Get in to 5m-6m, then stomp slash. The goal here is to stun them and crit spasm. You'll be even more lucky if you're not stunned.

Rhino: See bird. Though there's no need to attempt to stay close due to charge, it is still necessary you take this class seriously.

Fox: See bird and rhino.

*NOTE: no screenies because I lvled my 10.

Next up is lvl 13 bear. After that, we'll take a look at lvl 17 bear.
