    Tempest Knight
    .
    Hi guys, this time I would like to share u my newly found build called Tempest Knight.
    Well this build is considered a hybrid since if utilizes the magic skill (impact) on its nighty combo.
    This build is mainly focused on DPS (Damage per second) a true DPS by definition, since it deals dmg per ticks.
    And this build is also very versatile in term of weapon choices (can be 1h or 2h, if u choose str build)
    ...
    ...
    Stat Distributions:
    Ppl commonly use STR-CRT build on stat, so I can only suggest u the ratio of it, its either 70:30, or 80:20, or whichever ratio u prefer.
    ...
    ...
    Skill Distributions:
    I only suggest the core skills to be taken, the optional skills r provided.
    Blade skills :
    Hardhit 5
    Astute 5
    Trigger Slash 1
    Sonic Blade 5
    Spiral Air 5
    Tempest 10
    Sword Mastery 5 (10 is optional)
    Quick Slash 5 (10 is optional)
    Sword Technique 10
    .
    Magic skills :
    Magic Arrow 5
    Magic Javelin 5
    Magic Lance 5
    Impact 7
    MP Charge 1
    .
    Optional :
    Survival Skill : Safe Rest 5 + HP Boost 10 (we mostly aggro the boss)
    Battle Skill : Atk Up, Smash, Crit Up.
    Priest Skill : Holy Fist 1 (for anti-flinch boss combo filler)
    Knight Skill : Assault Atk/Rage Sword (Duh!)
    ...
    ...
    ...
    Combo.
    This combo is a very long combo but it costs only 1mp, but trust me, it deals decent DPS.
    Here we go.
    Hardhit/Assault Atk*, Astute (Save), Impact (Cons), Tempest (Smite), Spiral Air/Holy Fist*/Rage Sword* (Cons), Trigger Slash (Cons).
    .
    Explanation:
    Why do I choose 1mp combo? bc I have MP cheap mentality! I hate MP.
    Astute is only lvl 5, bc we only need its buff and it is required to take Trigger Slash.
    Same goes with Trigger Slash, only need its AMPR boost.
    The '*' skills r used when fighting anti-flinch boss like DG.
    The Spiral Air was placed after Tempest to prolong tumble effect (placing Spiral after Impact is not effective) by flinching the boss to lock it in place so our Tempest can hit it good (Hate that Ooze and Roga Boss!)
    ...
    ...
    Enjoy, and kindly ask me questions or suggestions (I wont take any of ur suggestions tho, my build is my love! XD) below!
    Game on!
    P.S. : If by any chance this build has been posted by someone less awesome than me before, I will ask our mommy to delete this thread.
    Thank you.

    Sword tech lowers stability. Just a btw.
    I suggest none. Take Crit Up 10 instead. Its a lot more useful for crit builds.

    Your lose the trigger purpose.
    It has to end a combo to work.
    As soon as you use a skill, the ampr buff ends.

    Also if you use sober 10; you can optimize trigger so much that you get a bar of mp every two hits.

    I wanna keep myself using 1mp combo, not more than that, lol.
    But yeah, it can be used to, to make tempest animation faster.
    @Mugami u meanie, I need oblivion/10 orbs to do so. :'(
    I'l update later, or not. XD

    anw I'm an anti-mainstream, I theorycrafted a lower branch build, with full STR, huehuehue.
    So Im (a lil bit) saved, in term of dmg output (if I can manage to hit it).
    :(

    Trust me about your str/crit.
    Its what you want.
    Max both, take Crit Up, record your lulz.
    By start of endgame, you'll why 2h is the highest melee dps.
    I suggest
    3:1 or 4:1 (str/crit) until str is maxed.

    4:4:1 final
    Str/Crit/Vit (to tank)
    This is your guard tank.
    1h/shield is lower dps than 2h but nearly doubles survivability. 20 or 50 skill points extra by endgame.
    OR
    Str/Crit/Dex (highest dps)
    This is your eva.
    30 skill points by endgame.

    Can I go max STR first, then go to CRT and DEX later?
    I mean, since dispersing stat pts at early stage can do me no good, imho.

    understand it fully. to make it works, we should make 2 combo. (this is my play style tho)
    1st is just to make teempest animation faster.
    2nd fully consec combo with trigger in the end of combo.

    Use these combo alternatively or both the same time based on what you need. if you often use normal atk, use combo 2(which it only happens if youre in bad pt)
    Diff bosses might required diff combo.

    Mixing str/dex is not really a bad thing for 1h/2h
    QuickMemo _2016-01-06-21-33-55~3.jpg QuickMemo _2016-01-06-21-33-44~2.jpg QuickMemo _2016-01-06-21-34-13~2.jpg
    As you can see, for 1h, it doesn't matter at all, atk-wise.
    For 2h, it's a 30% loss in Atk in exchange for hit and flee benefits from armor. The hit actually balances out the lower damage. More hits that deal less vs less hits that deal more. DoT vs DPS.

    But I'm *meh* on that.

    Getting at least 20 crit and crit up is more important for dps.

    Im starting to know rex combo build.
    Combo A : Short high burst dmg combo.
    Combo B : MP efficient combo for longer run.
    Pretty much Impact Sniper+Infinite Sniper Combo in one.
    Sigh, I miss my sniper.

    Ah, in term of atk.
    1h str:dex 2:2
    2h str dex 3:1
    I'll keep that in mind.
    Thank you.

    If you are going to use 1h with this build would Dex be better then strength. Since attack is the same plus you get hit rate?

    I cant record a video on my phone, even of i try using 3rd party app. I even have to tinker my phone here and there just to play toram seamlessly. (1gb RAM)
    fyi, I deal 6-10k on tempest initial dmg and followed by 1-3k DOT poping out, idk how much, 10 times maybe. Highest initial dmg was 20k followed by 4-6k DOT.
    Above dmg dealt on Volg.
    And no, I'm not using expensive sword, its just an exo sword @96+7.
    Yes you can use dex, in fact I made one too, but the dmg is not that much pleasing and consideribg losing too many skill pts to build a full dex (less versatile to switch between 1h and 2h)
    Ane, u just revealed my tempest knight DW build plan. I'm too lazy to make another one, but I plan to make a full aoe dw version (so many skill pts needed).
