    Hello!

    I have recently given the Dual Wield tree a test, and would first of all like to say that I am completely satisfied with the amount of potential it has as both a solo AND party member. I wasn't really impressed with this class before I tested it myself, and when I did finally test it, I decided to research, and then decide my own skill build. Thus, came to be my Sinful Shadow, a DPS & Utility prioritized build. Survival is NOT prioritized on this build through use of evasion/evasive buff skills. It can solo, and I will show you how.








    Stats:

    STR CRT build. You decide how much CRT you need to compensate for your crt rate alongside your gear. I put 70 points into the stat early on.

    Skills:

    *Skills highlighted in red are required to have in order to properly work with this build.
    **Skills highlighted in blue are necessary, but not yet acquired skills at current level.
    ***Skills highlighted in purple are optional skills. These aren't required to work the build at all.

    Dual Sword Lv.3

    Dual Sword Mastery 10
    Twin Slash 5
    Spinning Slash 5~10
    Phantom Slash 10
    Cross Parry 5
    Charging Slash 5
    Shadowstep 1
    Dual Sword Control 10


    Blade Lv.3

    Hard Hit 5
    Astute 5~10
    Trigger Slash 1~6
    Sword Mastery 10
    Quick Slash 10
    Warcry 10


    Shot Lv.3

    Shot Mastery 5
    Long Range 5
    Quick Draw 10

    Magic Lv.3

    Magic: Arrows 5
    Magic: Javelin 5
    Magic: Lances 5
    Magic: Impact 7
    MP Charge 1

    Battle Lv.3

    Attack UP 5
    Whack 5

    Critical UP 10
    Intimidating Power 5~10

    Halberd Lv.1
    Quick Aura 1

    Survival Lv.2
    Safe Rest 5
    HP Boost 10
    Short Rest 5
    MP Boost 10

    Priest Lv.1

    Holy Fist 1

    Combos:

    Combo 1 (Main/Utility Combo) *100mp

    Spinning Slash > Shadow Step (Save) > Astute (Cons) > Holy Fist/Hard Hit (cons) > Impact (cons) > Phantom Slash (Smite)

    *This is a utility combo because you are able to use Spinning Slash a significant distance away from the boss, allowing you to start your combo early on while avoiding contact from boss AOEs, and then allowing you to position and time yourself to avoid any follow attacks a boss may use as you move toward them. You can also change the opening skill to Hard hit or Holy Fist to meet your needs in battle.

    Combo 2 (Damage booster) *100mp

    Spinning Slash > Shadow Step (Save) > Astute (cons) > Trigger Slash (cons) > Warcry (cons) > Impact (cons) > Phantom Slash (Smite)

    *Similar use to the first combo, though slightly longer, making it more risky, but also more powerful, this combo uses not only the Crit Rate+25 from Astute, but the motion speed from Trigger Slash in order to make sure this combo not only hits hard, but fast!

    Combo 3 (Burst) *700mp/300mp

    Astute/Spinning Slash > Warcry (Cons) > Impact (Cons) > Phantom Slash (Smite/Cons)

    *This combo is exactly as it says. A burst combo. One to help you in a sticky situation, or for a fast kill on weak targets. With astute, you'll get +25 crt rate, and with spinning Slash, you'll get mobility control on your target. It's all up to you. You can also sub warcry for Trigger to speed up impact useage, or Shadowstep at an increased map cost to avoid enemy frontal attacks.

    Combo 4 (Burst 2) *400 MP

    Magic: Impact > Phantom Slash (Smite) > Spinning Slash (Cons)

    Slightly less damage burst, but faster and less mp useage, with Spinning Slash to knock an enemy using an aoe away as you land.


    Combo 5 (No 'interrupt') *100 MP

    Spinning Slash> Shadow Step(Save) > Astute(Cons) > Warcry(Cons) > Trigger Slash(Cons) > Phantom Slash(Smite) > Holy Fist(Cons)

    This combo is for more sensitive bosses, like Jade Raptor or Imitacia, who have heavy drawbacks to using skills that cause flinch/tumble/stun. This combo prevents you from triggering the heavy repercussions those bosses carry. Astute can be removed if the crit rate isn't needed. Trigger Slash is to speed up the use of Phantom Slash so that you may get in and out quickly in pinches. Works well with the buff from Quick Aura. 150% Damage Phantom with Astute included, while only 130% without.

    Combo 6 (AMPR) *200 MP

    Spinning Slash > Warcry (Save) > Holy Fist/Hard Hit (Cons) > Astute (Cons) > Trigger Slash (Cons) > Phantom Slash (Smite) > Shadow Step (Cons)

    Recover MP quickly after combo end. Simple as that.

    Equipment

    *Please note that all crystals are highlighted to represent the crystal type (ex. Weapon crystals are
    red, armor crystals are green).

    Weapon 1:
    Ice Brand Glacier+E or higher w/ ASCD777 Pillar Golem / Black Knight of Delusion / Zolban / Imitator

    Weapon 2:

    Any 1 hand weapon with Elemental stat (ex. Fire, Light, Dark, Earth element) works here to change the element of your Dual Sword skills to match the Target's weakness. (Doesn't apply to Phantom Slash). Good refine, attack and stability necessary.

    Armor:

    Any armor, light modified (for Evasion and Attack Speed purposes) with stats CD7CD12CC12 or SCD7CD12C12
    Cerebas / Boss Roga / Cerberus

    Additional:

    Sandogasa Warmonger
    Feather Cape Grass Dragon Yelb / Twilight Dragon / Warmonger / Metal Stinger
    Dragon Ears / Assassin Mask Grass Dragon Yelb / Metal Stinger / Warmonger
    Grecia Mask Warmonger (AMPR)
    Night Mushroom Mask Super Night Mushroom (situational)

    Special:

    Muscle Talisman III Metal Stinger / Shining Gent / Bexiz
    Time Warp Watch Don Yeti

    I would like to give special thanks to @Cypherian for the wealth of knowledge contained within their guide on the dual wield class, which is where I learned the essentials of how each skill worked, and how to properly utilize those skills. Without this guide, I would not have been able to work on this build thus far, so thank you very much for sharing all that you did with the forum and all it's members!

    Check out which of the threads I used to gather informations by following these 2 links!

    Cypherian's Akali Guide:

    toramonline.com/index.php?threads/dual-wield-101-introduction-skills-possible-dual-wield-playstyles-builds-and-themes.9009/

    I would also like to give a special thanks to Clover Tia on YouTube, who's builds I really enjoyed watching solo bosses. She inspired a lot of my decisions for my build, and helped me to take this class to another level of appreciation for me!

    Go subscribe to her on YouTube! Check out her latest video:



    I would also like to give a special thanks to my guild master and friend, @Onigiri, for helping me to come up with ideas and for helping me build proper combos for battle, despite being a 2h user, and not a DW. He also has a YouTube channel, and you should all check him out!

    Check out his latest video:

    I will be updating this guide regularly, marking my progress with this build, so those who decide to follow it may know what I am doing, or planning to do at all times. Thank you and have a nice day!

    Actually, they are 1mp. I tested both to double check as I was posting this. If I put anything after Phantom Slash, the mp cost of the combos both increase from 2-4mp. Me and my GM were trying to figure out why, but we don't know. But for someone reason, my Dual Wield is my only character I can end a combo with smite on. Lol

    As of today, I will begin making edits, and updating this guide as I have finally retrieved my laptop. Apologies in advance if things get a bit messy over the next few days here.
