DW Newbie Questions

Hello Everyone!

So, after hours of character deletion and few tests and alike, I finally settled with DW for my weapon of choice. Since it's based on Dex, this class will have less problem with high-flee mobs (I'm looking at you damned roars). But then, I have few questions that I hope I could get the answers:

Currently I'm a lvl45 DW. with 100 DEX and 10 AGI (my only character currently). During my journey on Lutaros, I found that my damage is really small to even handle normal mobs in there (~200 total damage each mobs with each auto during crits). I don't know if it's due to my abysmal ATK (around 300), or it's just because the enemy there really having though HP and DEFs?

Another questions is now that I had 100 DEX, should I continue to raise DEX or should I raise AGI and/or STR now? or should I remain with DEX? The build I want to aim is to be able dish out fine damage (not burst like 2H or Mages) and it can be dealt in quick manner.

Anyway, here is what I had now:

Spoiler: Stats&Equipments

Weapon : 2 Adel Swords
Armor: Straye Grab (100HP, 100MP)
Add: Leaf Cape (+5 Agi, +10% avoid, -10% aggro, -10% fire attacks)
Acc: Dex Talis 2

Sword Skill:
lv10 Sword Mastery
lv10 Quick Sword
Lv5 Hard Hit

Dual Skill:
Lv10 DS Control
lv10 DS Mastery
lv5 Twin Slash

Stats:
100 DEX
10 AGI

Left over:
7 Stats Point
15 Skill points

 

nope, DW is based on 3 stats, Dex, Str and Agi, of which generally AGI and STR are the best(stability and multipliers while they don't show on the surface much really deal a lot.
Also, you are quite a low level, so your damage will be bad. get a mage and level. DW is a very complex class, and you'll probably require multiple tries to make a good one, sometimes that can mean reaching like, lvl100+ before realising you screwed up.

 

The class that I really love, yet is the most complex one for newbie.. What a sad lyfe I had.

Btw..

People always tell me a lot about this. Am I really have no other way around to level with any character I had?

 

Mage is one of the simplest characters, you don't have to worry about criticals, misses, evasion. Just raw matk.
also they are excellent at farming mobs, as well as farming bosses.
DW is also considered a weak class, but there is a dw line group you can join and ask more experienced players for advice.
My first advice would be to get one character to lvl 150 asap.
oh and don't delete a lvl 150 character. you get 3 extra slots to experiment with(for free), so go nuts when you reach lvl 150.

unless you don't plan to use berserk(-25% stability makes it quite bad), meteor(high damage but high MP) or buster(3MP, 1000+2*vit HP restoration, but really weak as an attack), you can just level till 90 before testing.
also, meteor and buster are main hand, so if you plan to use them you should take a full dex>Str build.

 

you will have to start somewhere with DW, how do you expect to learn about how DW works if you never give it a try and stick with it

 

if you are super new to the game i would first make a farming mage, and then make a blacksmith that can craft weapons so you can earn some spina, cuase getting the right gears for any class will costs spina, and materials needed/material points to craft certain need gears

 

I know right? I still working with it as much as I can. But I guess I have reached a point where it seems everything hits too hard and I hit them back not so hard.

I'll look into suggestion. People has suggest me right and left, I guess I'm just being too stubborn for staying as DW with absolutely nothing to equip.

 

after you have a solid farming mage and blacksmith then i would go DW all the way cuase now you will have a way to support your dw gears creation and as well as spina

 

It's easiest to make spina, and get gear. dual wield right now is quite gear dependent imo, so you'll need to work.
mage on the other hand... you can run around with a water staff for majority of the game if you have finale. you won't right now,
Again, I'm not saying ditch dw. I'm saying, get some spina,buy a full crit armor and sword, some party glasses and a muscle talisman, and then get down to testing DW.
Also, anniversary is coming up shortly, and there's probably going to be some pretty strong weapons, so you will want spina saved up. crafting mats are easy to obtain(but untradable), so weapons become dirt cheap then. If nothing else, you should get a mage for that.
If you could earn enough to snag a good 2s, that's the jackpot.

Also, there's always the risk that you might delete a 150+ dw if you dislike the build(after using the first free reset).
so yeah. Mage is a must have for every player. I have a luk refiner/farming mage, other than that I am almost always on DW, my other chars are crafters to support my DW.

TL;DR, I know how annoying it is, but seriously, just get a mage. you won't regret it.
