Esri's Dual Wield Build Guide

@Mugami to magiknight build at level 40 what should i get? crit?

 

Should be AGI. DEX & INT are the main stats. By lv70, your stats should be 78 DEX, 78 INT, 40 AGI

 

Hmmm....islandi is pulling a 2:2:1, which is fine. My suggestion is for a 4:4:1 on magiknight or 88:88:22. Both work. 4:4:1 does more dps, 2:2:1 is faster

 

Get a nunhat. Its +200cspd from shop. Mats are 4 new moon stones (stones in new moon palace: area 1) & 16 linen cloth (crowscarer in dulce hamlet). Takes 20 minutes and well worth it. The drop is only +150 cspd from the soldiers in new moon palace: area 2.
Dex or agi talisman IIs.
Aqua garb light remodeled.
Avatar gear...
Night mushroom xtals
primary Adel sword crafted: matk%, +cspd. Cspd% or sword of sin
Secondary is sword of sin

In total, my final magiknight had 683 cspd with little effort. Higher is possible. Between high cspd and high flee, its a lot less flinching. By lvl 65 a flinch is rare to see happen.

 

Mugami I've been trying to see how the knight skill parry actually works, but i just don't see it. Is it just the animation or does the (parry) show up every time it does it?

 

Idr. It's been awhile. The damage shows up tho. I remember that much.

 

Read your ticker log. It shows up there.

 

What are your opinions for combo skills?

 

I'll update this for you later today or tomorrow. Its been on my list.
Assault>spin slash(consecutive)>sonic blade (consecutive) to farm shell mask or ns.

For bosses:
Assault>hard hit(save)>astute(smite)>Cross parry(consecutive)
is a good one for starters.

 

For magic knight, wouldn't it be better to just have a bd sword (boss version) as main sword and a tomahawk as sub sword with killer coat/aqua garb for armor and nun hat as head gear?

With that +1000 aspd (with maxed dual sword control) and + 700 cspd can be obtained, With the added dex, one could approach 1000 cspd. Bd sword is a weaker sword than adel, but it still isn't bad. Refining it to +5 or +7 will improve its damage (physical and magic) without having to switch to another sword at the cost of aspd and cspd.

Also this way you can go dex:int in a 1:1 instead of dex:int:agi in a 2:2:1 or 4:4:1

Also, wouldn't this combo be useful as well?

Magic: Arrows> Magic: Storm (Save)> Sonic Blade (Swift)> Magic: Impact (Swift)> Astute (Smite)> Hard Hit/Charging Slash (Consecutive)

 

I would say screw the BD and use two Toma.
The benefits of BD is not as good as you think. Toma may be slower, but the damage it does is much higher. This means an overall higher dps and dot (triple during the use of every single skill and double to triple for auto attacks). BD may make you faster, but you hit like a girl. And between a 25-30k rampage/spiral air vs 8-12k....that's a no brainer.

Bd: 27 base atk/ 80% stab= 21.6 average
Toma: 120 base atk/40% stab =84 average

Bd/toma= 63.6 (average damage calc)
Toma/toma=126 (average damage calc)

(Edit: I originally said sword of sin and toma. But both of my swords of sin are tomas with sin skins. Lol)

For Magiknight it's the same. They have a very high Cspd (nearly double to triple all mages, at this point in the game). The extra 500 from BD is just icing. Its better to kill everything than just cast fast and aggro a mob to carpet beat you.
With magiknights, try to end the combo with a quick knockback like Spin, Earthbind, impact, or end with the highest dps like blast or spiral air. Wall should be used. Blast is always swift unless it follows wall. Then use it with smite or save. Storm should be save.

I just deleted my last mu for a power wave brawler to test a build or is just post my combos.

 

how do i go about getting light armor mastery? still new

 

Guard skill tree: lvl1. But it at library.

 

Still one of the best builds to follow..

 

@Mugami if we were to have a max of 500 stat points.
would it be advisable to go 250 dex 125 agi 125 or would you still go for 1:1 dex agi.
and would you advise getting early in the game for DWs.

 

4:4:1
Dex/Agi/Crit
Use your main to farm gigant knight in a saham crater for tomahawks. You want 2.
So 245/244/61; if 500.
While the crit seems low, you will be using astute's crit buff often to start combos and have equips, xtals to raise crit, and crit up battle skill 10.
Your Aspd would approach 2800-3k, your autos would be around 2.5-3k white (5-8k crits), and combo damage would approach 40-70k. (All figures based on forestia and current drops/non-pc crafts.)

 

But what about str? coz adding str gives you half increase in both hands and also adds cdmg. is going crit more better than getting more damage?

 

I'd add Str when I get max Agi already. xP
Aspd and Flee are valuable stats for survivability standpoint and constant mp recovery.

 

Agi and Dex are just too important.
As for crit vs str:
Str adds crit damage. Crit adds both.

So go for 60 atk and 220% crit Damage from Str?
Or 30% crit rate and 220% crit Damage from Crit?

I'd take Crit. Just mho.

 

Hi, I am new member in this TORAM kind of world. I started played TORAM because of the dual wield introduction. But I am not sure how exactly people equip two sword in their avatar. Do I need to get the two sword from boss or what? I hope you can teach me.
