Full AGI DW Guide (new vids: GS, WM, Forestia)

Good afternoon everybody.
I’ve been lurking around on the forums for a while now and felt its due time I contributed a little. This is my first guide so please be gentle.

I remade my dual sword character a few times testing different stat and skill setups and this is the build that fits my playstyle the best. (Warning: It does not optimize DMG output, but a good balance between DMG and survivability.

I tried almost any combination (Dex/Agi, Dex/Str, Agi/Dex and full Dex, before going full Agi. (All chars lvl xy55+)I feel my DMG is good enough to even compete for #1 Attacker spot in most parties I have been in so far. Which considering a lot of resources go towards survivability, isn’t bad at all for me. While you skills don’t do as high crits as other builds, a lot of DMG is coming in from Auto attacks and the short combo I use (Astute=>HH(consec)=>Twin Slash (consec) is spamable. I usually do a combo then 2-3 Autos then combo again.
Thanks to Numbz for getting me interested in trying full Agi!

Stats:
Full AGI (I tested my hit rate on Forestia and even without my desired crit gear I was doing alright.

Skills: (103/105)
Blade skills:
Hard Hit 5/10 (optional 10/10 if you want more DMG and have the necessary skill points)
Astute: 10/10 (DMG I still alright and the 25% crit is very valuable)

Dual Sword skills:
Dual Sword Mastery 10/10 (I feel the 3 DS passives are necessary)
Twin Slash 10/10 (good DMG)
Spinning Slash 1/10 (Farming tool)
Dual Sword Control 10/10 (see above)
Godspeeed 10/10 (see above)

Survival skills:
Safe Rest 5/10 (to unlock HP boost)
HP Boost 10/10 (I just like having a decent HP pool unbuffed)
Fighters High 1/10 (optional, I like having the occasional regen in longer fights)

Battle skills:
Attack Up 5/10 (to unlock Smash, plus gives a little ATK)
Smash 5/10 (to unlock Crit Up, bonus DMG I didn’t notice much yet)
Crit Up 10/10 (I feel the CR and CD is needed for the full AGI build)

Other skills:
Light Armor Mastery 10/10 (optional, I like the survivability it gives)
MP Charge 1/10 (optional, never needed it so far)

Gear:
I decided to post my current gear, with a few upgrades I have in mind for some spots (not tested yet though). Rather than posting some optimal gear, that I haven’t been able to test at all.



Mainhand: Saber (Playermade: 39 Atk, 4% Atk, 6 cr, slot with BossGob Xtal). Looking to eventually replace it with a Saber 40+ 6%cr, 6cr, last attribute I don’t know yet probably CD, Agi or sth.
Offhand: Adel 48+3. This one I’m looking to replace with a Relic Sword 50+ (hopefully they fix the element from Offhand soon)
Armor: Aqua garb (Boss drop, 32 base def, 10% dodge 1%atk 1% Matk, 100 MP, slot , no Xtal so far, looking for another Bossgob.) This I don’t plan to replace, it fits my build perfectly.
Add: Forest Wolf Cape (NPC crafted, 5 Agi, 5% dodge, evasion and aspd, slotted with Warmonger Xtal). This I also don’t plan on replacing.
Special: Dex II Ring (300Mp, 4 Dex, slotted with Eerie). I am in no rush to replace this with a Agi +4 talisman, since I only have one Eerie and Dex is not a wasted stat)

As you see in bellows screenshot the current setup gives me: 368 Atk (not a very high value but you also have to consider the hidden Offhand DMG), 550 Flee, 2.1k+ Aspd. 1.7k HP and around 550 MP.


Combo:
As already mentioned I mainly use one combo atm:
Astute=>HH(consec)=>Twin Slash (consec)
If I have a lot of excess MP I sometimes throw in a normal Twin Slash. I feel longer or more combos will diminish the very good DMG coming from my Autos.

I am open for any constructive discussion about this build and will gladly answer any of your questions if I can. Look me up here on the forums or in game (fantajin).

 

I'm using this post for videos, so everything is nice and tidy. I am currently on vacation and the net isnt too good here, but I did find a decent recording app and tested it at Bossgob (farming a second Xtal atm). I will be recording other boss/miniboss videos these days. If u have a request just let me know.

Generally applying to all videos I intend to make and upload here:
- Occasionally using Revitas
- NO BUFFS from consumables and/or other players

Bossgob (mobizen app test)


Golden Skeleton (used a Revita III, even though I probably would have survived without)*uploaded again


Warmonger (used a Revita III. His spin attack is hard to dodge sometimes when you just start an auto)


Forestia (used 3 Revita III, could have done better with dodging them circles. Again a longer fight, but I wanted to show that the build can hit her nicely even with around 8% desired crit missing.)

 

Good effort man, no need to judge yourself on how you did, you're still learning and you will get better in time
