Sorry,i panicked when i didnt saw the warmage guide, i have read the notice and now i understand...lol

 

Ok

 

Ive been using this guide as a reference and when I go to hit the Spoiler part of the build a notice pops up saying; "Toram Online Forum Error". Idk whats causing this but I am unable to look into the guide

what is the difference between arrow level 5 and 10?

 

The higher skill arrow has more arrows are shot therefore generating higher damage

 

Miss precaria, do you have build for 2H? Wanna see as reference

 

Sir* lol and nope, I don't use swords sorry! Just check some of the builds posted on Warrior section.

 

Hey Precaria , after capping INT , which 2nd stat will you personally choose? I'm not so sure about this but will VIT be a better choice than MTL in the futures to come? If not so how big is the difference between these two that will eventually lead to a deciding factor?

 

I'd definitely chose to max MTL after VIT. My secondary stat is DEX, but VIT is better as secondary than MTL. Mentality is more of an endgame stat. Increase it after having a decent amount of VIT.

 

Do you think half half is plausible? Or maybe 2 vit : 1 MTL?

 

Yes I do think that is a good stat distribution after INT.

 

Why is sonic wave not used for Angelus anymore though ?

 

Angelus and Warmage builds were fused in 1. You can still use S.Wave with the pro that the skill is instant and the con that it makes no significant damage, or Arrows with the pro that they recover a little bit of damage from the Save combo and the con that you need high CSPD to avoid being flinched in tanking scenarios. Both can be casted from 8m+ away so both skills serve for the same purpose: comboing from afar with 100 MP cost. I also put Holy Fist as combo closer instead of Shield Bash for the battles vs delicate bosses like Nurethoth and Jade Raptor. The build shares the best of both in 1, thanks to the amount of SP we have now.

 

'Hi Prec. For soloing purposes, is it better to to max Force/Magic shield instead of Protection and Aegis?

 

Not in my point of view. Shield passives give you 1000 HP in exchange of spending 20 SP. You can get 1k HP with around 25-30 stat points on INT by level 100. I'd rather add a bit of VIT and continue my way on DEX than spending 20 SP for the same result. The defense they add is not significant compared to the Resistance % of the buffs.

 

I see. Thanks. I'll max aegis and protection for now and hopefully should be able to max those passives in future caps. Quickdraw needs 20SP. Does it proc often to be useful?​

 

It has a 30% activation rate, its a gamble. I'm used to cast heavy storm combos (with 1 Power Wave auto attack and 1 MP Charge) all the way until my mp reaches 0. If QD activates I'll have 1 MP bar and can charge again and cast the 400 MP combo prolonging the heavy damage storm repetitions and delaying the need to use the 100 MP combo. I have Quick Draw and Sober Analysis maxed on my Angelus, both help hold my mana throughout the battles and when I use my farmer-exclusive mage (which uses the same gears, and has the same amount of mana) the MP usage feels limited in comparison.

 

For the low-Budget Int+2 Crystals where is it possible to farm them?
