Evoker Build : http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/evoker.33067/
Godhand Build : http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/god-hand-build.35306/#post-385670



*let's skip the introduction.., and here I'm present to you.., a Red Mage Build ~


Red Mage :
Red Mages typically cast both Black and White Magic and can also wield swords and equip armor that normal Black and White Mages cannot. They are, in essence, among the more versatile characters of the series. However, their versatility comes at a price: their stats are usually low, and they cannot cast higher level spells.

The Red Mage is a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none.


NOTE : As usual .... this is not a perfect build, and im still working on it...


so for this build there's two variety of build :

1. OHS + Dagger (Melee Oriented)
2. OHS + MD (Magic Oriented)


lets begin with stat..,

for Stat :
INT : 255
DEX : REST

Q : Why melee not focusing on dex ?
A : because among all magic weapon (which had stat that increase ATK by INT), 1H Sword get the highest bonus .., ( 1 INT => 1.5-2 ATK ), and because we still play around "additional magic attack", so int is the best option

Spoiler: Gear

Main : Icebrand Glacier - Lapin the Necromancer
Off hand :
- Magical Dagger
- Anykind of Magic Device that doesn't make u look ugly

Armor : Mozt Armor - York / Goldoon
Additional : Tentacles Roar - York / Baphomela

Special :
- Philosopher Ring - Lalvada
- Spirit Tree Bangle - Lalvada

Q : Why dagger then ?
A : Magical dagger currently is the best dagger that provide us +70% additional magic damage

Q : is it worth to equip MD ?
A : i know.... -15% ATK is really matter in hand, but u also got all benefit of MD when using magic skill.., so yeah.. i guess its kinda worth


Note :

once we can reset our characters for free imma use this :3

 

Hi there Shivael, just wondering how much damage do you dealt for skills like rampage, strike stab and storm if you have it at lvl 10 that is.

 

I kinda wouldn't recommend rampage tbh I been fiddling with this same build awhile now and I noticed 2 things 1 is hidden arm (if you use it) gets extremely weak in rampage like 35 damage weak 2nd is additional magic/melee procs wayyyyyyyy less during rampage where auto attack for me it's like every other hit(and by less I mean like 2 procs tops maybe if your lucky during rampage) Imma keep using sword but it may be easier to use the ice wep staff instead+dagger if additional procs with power wave you can be a range magic knight even get a few priest buffs to keep you alive or try the magic device ice wep that's just my 2 cents tho from what I been experimenting with

 

It seems a fun build for solo play. ^_^

 

we just gotta find a way to mix it together far as I can tell there is 2 kinds of magic swordsman the auto attack kind and the skill spam kind the skill spam kind would prob be int/str str/int and dex depending on If you prefer physical or magical moves I think it would be a sword fu only with dagger maybe or even arrow maybe with fu you can replace replace dex with agi because they have so many boss deop gears made for this type of build magic swordsman garb our world armor mozto armor everyone just so focused on wanting tempest and storm which makes no sense to me they always fail if more physical use magic skills for ailment and protration like magic blast would be good and lance vice versa if more magical use holy fist as a dps skill it's description pretty said its made for this type of build make customs stat wep I got a m.device that's cd7%cr15mattk7% i think staff would still be best for this build because of the gain it gets from attack and mattk just call it a mage fighter or something it's the closest we gone get to a magic knight trust me I want a magic swordsman more than anything I mean look at the game I came from but I'm poor and new I just been reading up alot so I leave you pros to make the dream a reality

 

Do we really need storm if we have tempest?
Never touched rampage yet so idk what its like

 

I know this is an old thread but just wanna say this build is not gonna work. OHS+Dagger relying on additional attack may sound like a promising concept but in practice additional attack proc rate can't be boosted (cmiiw) and it only boosts the damage. Not worthed imo even with all the buffs you apply to yourself the most you could get out of it is to provide auto proration to your party (quite useless). OHS+MD focusing on both ATK/MATK just doesn't work. This isn't unison league where you could raise atk/matk without any downside. You can only focus on one, or not at all (which is highly not recommended since what's the point then?). But then again it's your game, your decision. Who am i to tell you what to do? I'm just presenting my opinions. Do correct me if i'm wrong
