Just a little curious about a build idea...

[Calsetes]

I'm new to the game, just got my main Fighter to level 12, and this is my point distribution so far (I want to be a sort of tank/DD hybrid so I'm not completely godawful when I solo with lag):

STR - 4 points
DEX - 4 points
END - 4 points

I don't care that much about more SP to do skills, I'll just use some more potions and stones for that. The endurance helps me live a bit longer, and the strength helps me dish out a bit more damage. What I'd like to know is since I don't care about higher numbers for damage as much as I do my accuracy and evasion, is a somewhat dexterity-oriented fighter a viable option? Has anyone tried it before? I'm not asking for full DEX, or something like a handful of points in it, I'm looking for keeping my point allocation pretty evenly distributed between the three. Anyone have any feedback (that doesn't hopefully involve "OMG ur such a n00b lawlz me smrt")? Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to say that I'm a swordsman, so I'd be using both sword/shield and two-handed swords. No axes for this guy!

there is no such thing as the *right* build - you can have fun with just about any build. if it doesn't work out, start a new character on a different server and try that one.

fwiw i am running an experiment on bijou with all four characters pure spirit builds, which in most people's book is a crazy idea. otoh a 15 level taking down boogy knight with a single spam of all skills and 3 consecutive critical hits does have something going for it! :)

[Calsetes]

I know, I feel the same way about there not being a "right" build. I figure I'd just be kind of original, since I usually see a ton of STR, END, STR+SPR, or END+SPR builds. I just decided I'd try throwing in some DEX in there instead of SPR, and see how that fleshes out. I hope your pure spirit build works out for you. I think that would be pretty cool to just see someone walk up to a high level mob, go nuts with a metric button of skills, then walk away victoriously. Me, with my connection now is more of a walk up, watch my guy swing his sword, freeze with the sword almost touching the enemy, then after like a second, he starts swinging away (like something from the 300, but not as cool since the enemy still moves normally).

for a fighter, anything's good except INT, infact, this is for all classes except mages (who need INT) because there is no actual right build.

[Calsetes]

Alright, thanks for the info. I know INT is pretty much useless for non-mages, unless they suddenly introduce an advanced warrior-paladin-ey class, or something like that. It's nice to know that there are people who understand that not everyone wants a "paper doll" fighter, and who try something they haven't heard of yet. As for anyone who might be curious as to how this works, as a level 13 in the King Slime kingdom quest, I was dealing pretty good damage on the boss, and didn't immediately die when I got hit (though that is a little harder to tell when you lag like you have half of China's population sharing your 56k connection, man satellite internet sucks...), and (with a coordinated party) we got through it pretty fast. I'd definately recommend this type of build for people who want to do a mix of things, or who want to be one of those people who don't mind giving up being a DD for subbing as a tank, or vice versa in a party.

well, my main is a hybrid too.
and honestly, i love it. haha!
just like u, i use only swords.. which also includes shield whenever i feel like it.
a little pricey for the skills and equipment but definitely worth it. :)

-cheers!- :D

If u dont' go pure something 25spr should always be thrown in there for the extra 5% chance to crit.

EVASION for fighters is kinda useless cuz RED MOBS won't ever miss u really :D

imo str and end is awsome, decent dmg and survivibility

lemme get some feed back from higher lvls
