    Change Log:
    12/28/2015 (v.006): i'm not maintaining this build anymore, i'm currently using my Breaker v2 build as my main [link], please refer to @Victrix guide [link] for a more updated information. lastly, you can refer to this guide and it's previous replies for expanded information and synthesize ideas between our builds.
    11/25/2015 (v.005): added video section, added equipment suggestion, finalized build for Lv.70

    About:
    • if you can't beat the DPS classes on burst damage, then steal the other three rankings (Tank+Break+Support), besides, it's better to duo with an Archer with 100k+ Snipe, instead of soloing stuff, this class is ideal for breaking stuff and controlling targets, because you only need 100 MP to execute your combo.
    • gain at least 1057 ASPD to remove the green bar of auto attack.
    • it's recommended to pump Agi via xtals, you need to get at least 400 Flee (or just use +max hp xtals, your call).
    • you have to max your basic skills ASAP, aside from it increases probability in inflicting effects, it also increases duration of effect.
    • high aggro generating if you always do combos, better if +aggro gear in the future is available with +max hp and resistances
    • lastly, i'd like to take back my past words on my previous post, this class is not yet extinct :D
    Level: 70
    Agi: 157
    Critical: 40
    Skill Points Used: 106
    (if you lack SP and Status Points, check my other guide: [link])

    There is an alternative build at the Alternative Build section.

    Skills Distribution:
    Martial
    Smash (Lv.10) - inflicts Flinch effect, duration: 2 seconds (estimate)
    Bash (Lv.10) - inflicts Stun effect, duration: 8 seconds (estimate), global cooldown (where you can stun again): 30 seconds (estimate)
    Shell Break (Lv.10) - inflicts Defense Down effect, your only useful debuff, duration: while the cracked glass is visible
    Sonic Wave (Lv.10) - inflicts Tumble effect, duration: 4 seconds (estimate)
    Martial Mastery (Lv.10) - base attack increase, hidden +value increase per level
    other skills;
    Heavy Smash (Lv.0) - i have plans to get this in the future, problem is the indicator of how long is the attack down in effect.
    Earth Bind (Lv.0) - i may get this one in the future, the Stop effect is useful on mobs, but useless on bosses, it's global cooldown is too long vs bosses.​
    Shield
    Shield Mastery (Lv.5) - prerequisite in using shields, reduces ASPD penalty (-10% per Lv.)
    Force Shield (Lv.10) - increases hp (+500hp max Lv.), increase defense (+30% max Lv.)
    Magical Shield (Lv.10) - increases hp (+500hp max Lv.), increase magic defense (+30% max Lv.)​
    Priest
    Bless (Lv.5) - very small heals, not used
    Gloria (Lv.10) - multiplies defense and magic defense (x2.5), duration: 60 seconds
    Holy Fist (Lv.1) - filler skill, I got plans to max this skill on next level cap (it's damage rivals a Lv.5 Smash).​
    Survival
    Safe Rest (Lv.5) - can use Sit emote to regen HP Quick (can be used when not in battle)
    Hp Boost (Lv.10) - increases hp (+1000hp max Lv.)​

    Combo
    #1. Smash - Holy Fist (cons) - Sonic Wave (cons) - Shell Break (cons) - Bash (cons)
    [​IMG]
    special note: on bosses like Demon's Gate where it casts protection skill when you do flinch effect, replace Smash with Holy Fist.
    modified: Sonic Wave - Gloria (cons) - Holy Fist (cons) - Shell Break (cons) - Bash (cons)
    [​IMG]

    #2.
    Sonic Wave - Gloria (cons)
    use this combo every 60 seconds or if the chance gives it, Gloria buff needs to be always up
    [​IMG]


    Suggested Items
    • Revita III (restores 1000 HP, 8 second cooldown)
    • Vita Plus II (MaxHP+1000 for 30mins.)
    - Hunt Soft Leafs from Pova (Lonogo Canyon) (can get around 197 medicines per stack, process it using Process Materials skill from Alchemist or from Synthesist NPC).
    - Hunt Apples from Coryn (Douce Hamlet).

    Revita III: 99pcs per 1 stack. You need around 18 stacks of Soft Leaf and 60pcs Nectar to create around 3 stacks of Revita III.
    Vita Plus II: 10pcs per 1 stack. You need around 6.5 stacks of Soft Leaf and 10pcs Apples to create 10 stacks of Vita Plus II.

    - use a full Tech Alchemist to produce more items, no need to spend spina in crafting for potions.
    - ideally, create an Archer, it's the best for farming these (in my opinion), Arrow Rain (use Bow and Arrow for larger AOE) for groups of Pova, auto attacks for those Coryn.​

    Suggested Equipment (Lv.70)
    • Weapon: Jamadhar a35+, (+2 agi xtal). better to craft, +40% crit rate
    • Shield: Relief Shield d10+
    • Armor: (light remodelled) Scale Armor (warmonger drop d34+), temporary xtal: +2 agi, recommended xtal: Acroiris (but on current cap, not worth it.)
    • Additional: Ooze Helmet d18+, (+2 agi xtal). (seriously dude, use an appearance synth. :oops:)
    • Accessory: Speed Talisman II d4+, (with Eerie xtal), ideal if you can craft two slots, Eerie and +2 agi xtal.
    +2 agi xtal = from Cliff Pico (Lonogo Canyon)​

    My Current Equipments (Lv.70)
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    or, if you have problems with keeping aggro, just wear the following Additional Equipment and Accessory:
    • Needle Helmet
    [​IMG]
    • Knight Talisman
    [​IMG]
    Alternative Build
    Or, you can go build a Full Agi, and equip Drills from Moonlight Potum if you just want to main Breaking and not really concerned on your damage output with your normal attacks.

    i'm glad you liked it :D we have no choice, adapt or be forgotten, i chose to be greedy instead, LOL. a dead DPS class will not function, so a tank is needed.

    Great guide! This is quite similar to the brawler I'm currently rebuilding. Though instead of the priest skills I leveled up shield bash for more stuns! and shield support skills to take support rank.

    I was thinking of adding those as well, however, there's a penalty in using it.
    any data regarding the Defense Increase and Magic Defense Penalty? and, can the two Shield Buff Skills Stack together? and can the group be buffed too?

    have you tested the global stuns if Shield Bash, Bash and Shield Cannon are not affected? like, if you can spam stun after the other stun is finished?

    status effect not spammable, you can only use it once to get that Stop status effect (because of a long effect cooldown) aside from the long pause after casting which makes you vulnerable to aoe attacks.

    Btw tested the stuns of bash, shield bash and shield cannon. So far, chaining the skills' stuns is impossible. Will try test further later.

    @NineArts if your objective is to tank, is volc claw better than jamadhar, since it give more dodge and evasion rate

    tap damages will be affected, nullifying the breaker role.
    EDIT: i'll test that one later :D

    yep, my friend tested it, it does not depend on the crit damages, i'll continue on this setup with my build, gonna add an alternative route on the build information.

    -why didn't you add aggravate passive (recent update gave it +5 atk mp recovery when maxed)?
    -why no light armor mastery?
    -also to tank w/ aggro and break wouldn't these combos be useful?
    -holy fist+smash(consecutive)+bash(consecutive)+shell break(consecutive)+heavy smash(consecutive) : total cost = 100 mp (use but dont spam, due to cooldowns?)
    -smash/sonic wave+bless(consecutive) : total cost = 100 mp (flinch/tumble to give time for bless, 65 base per 3 seconds heal at lvl 10, which acts as a support skill and ups user aggro?...tho your sonic wave+gloria combo probably works better)
    -also why no knight talisman (i dont think speed II talismans boost in agi will help much if your are full agi and not going for a non-tank build) and green wyvern cape (rather than ooze helm, since it combos better with light remodeled scale armor)
    -jamadhar with excavated golem xtal(more guard power and guard rate) instead of agi+2?

    hmm, i think the simple honest answer i can give is that i'm waiting for future updates, i don't need to go with the mainstream build, this one properly works for me, average damage, enough tank for the current situation.

    with regards to your questions:

    no need, ASPD and Eerie Xtal covers it, and to execute combos i only need 100MP, if i would need fast building up to get to 400MP fast for a Smited Shell Break, i'll go with it.

    i don't believe in Evasion builds, they have a cap, and you cannot reach Evasion Lock (unless you are willing to learn Dual Wield's Reflex and build up your Eva, the problem is if the boss/miniboss hits you, it will hurt alot), it's better to bet on Dodge/Flee with solid Defense.

    i prefer to start my combos with Status Effects, example, Sonic Wave max, you have 4 seconds to cast Gloria after it.
    holy fist is just a filler skill because of Demon's Gate (guard effect after flinch), i will assume future bosses will have this mechanic.
    no need to go bless, it's not worth it, unless you are a full int brawler, and besides the aim of the build is to be active and always let the aggro in you.

    for Armor: I need my Ailment Resistance increased (defense against pushback, stun, etc. i think magical attacks that causes burn and freeze are not covered by this), together with increased defense.
    for Ooze: Another Ailment Resistance bonus and Max HP
    for Knight Talisman vs Speed Talisman II: I need to get at least 400 dodge/flee on this build, no need to pump aggro because combos will take care of hate generation.

    Hybrid with average damage and enough tank, I don't need to hunt his xtal if I will just have to replace it with another one when a new knuckle weapon is released, Agi+2 is cheap and easy to hunt, that's why its my preferred xtal.
