    Welcome to the "Fading Reaper" dual wield build guide.

    Before I begin, let me first clarify that Arewzo and I had similar ideas for our builds just before he prevailed his. In light of his retirement, I decided to tweak the builds together to make it more effective in most situations (for my playstyle, and those who like to hit and run/evade danger constantly). As such, his 'Self-Prorating' combo will be your main combo, but I will constantly work on new combos to add here for your useage.

    Build Purpose

    To deal high, consistent damage in short periods of time while evading attacks as often as possible, while maintaining a constant level of high mp through use of Attack MP Recovery.

    Ratings

    Difficulty 4/5
    Damage 4/5
    Utility 4/5
    Gear 5/5

    Hardcore Drugs

    Giga Speed Potion
    Vita Plus II/III/IV/V
    Magiadd II/III/IV/V
    Muscle Oil
    Magic Absorption Stone
    Any Elemental Damage Enhancers
    Dragon Steak (Event)
    Sauteed Lonogo Shrimp (Event)

    Stat Distribution

    STR 255 / AGI 117

    Currently, full STR, rest AGI is the hardest hitting build for dual wield in game after the most recent revamp to skills. I have personally reset my stats a few times to STR/DEX, STR/AGI=DEX, and even DEX 150/STR=AGI as different tests, but none could hit as hard under the same conditions. This build has also been confirmed as the strongest found by other dual wield users, as well.

    Information about Phantom Slash

    - Strikes 6 times, each time using both swords, dealing x12 attacks.
    - Permanently DARK Element. It cannot be changed, whether your main or sub weapon has an element stat awakened to it.
    - You are invincible from the moment your first strike makes contact until your character lands.
    - Chance to cause freeze on the enemy (slows down enemy animations)
    - Damage scales best with agi as of last revamp (subject to change during another revamp)
    - Always classified as Long Range skill no matter the distance.​

    Special Thanks

    I would personally like to thank a few players for their help. These players made preparing this build much easier than it was by myself, and as such, are very appreciated for their roles in the completion of this guide.

    @Cypherian @Arewzo
    For the wealth of knowledge on the Dual Wield class as a whole, as well as the amount of tests they've be both conducted and shared the results from. You have both been a big source of inspiration and resources for myself to research from when it has come to building my character.


    @Alzarith
    For taking the time to help me think up other combos to use for appropriate situations. Your help was more than appreciated when it came down to this, as your knowledge on combo set ups is far superior to many other players I have met.

    @Shmeow
    For helping me test my damage and proration versus an amazing mage such as yourself, and for all around supporting me through all my tests with my build thus far. Without you there, it would have been harder for me to get these tests done.

    An extra special thanks to my guild mates, @mtchwtch, @omegaoni, and @Niina. You guys have all been more than supportive of my constant build changing, and are always willing to go out testing my damage at different bosses with me, and that's greatly appreciated.

    Everyone listed here are very amazing people, and I appreciate all your help!

    Thanks!!

    More special thanks:

    @Cella [Yurie ♥]
    For an interesting duel, which allowed me to see some weaknesses when faced against high mp type players. The learning experience is more than valuable to myself.
    @TheXIIIthGuy
    For a valuable lesson about another style of dual wield. Very enjoyable and works well alongside my build for party farming. ^^​

    I know bro, but that's only at 8m or more away when it's considered long range. But, because I chase with shadow step before Phantom Slash, I'm always usually within that range to still be considered short range damage still, which is why I chose the boss drop version over the +15 for this build.

    P.Slash doesn't work like Tempest. Either way you slice it (no pun intended) it's classifies long range, just like snipe is classified long range even if you're standing right in front of the boss or whatever
