Quoting from the linky linky: "Destroyer
The destroyer is a master of weapons, if you don’t have 3+ “situational” weapons in your warehouse or on your person, you simply aren’t playing the class to its fullest. Majestic heavy is good with +STR, doom heavy +6 works well with +CON. Blue wolf heavy +6 would help you to catch up with slower targets in PvP.

Because you have no ranged attacks, its good to carry a bow, and though

You should have a blunt for stunning, any blunt will do. [b]an over-enchanted greatsword with the focus SA works better for PvE but a dragonslayer with the critical bleed SA works better in PvP.

+STR : more damage.
+CON : more HP for PvP, but get a health SA as well.
+DEX : helps you catch enemies in PvP."

Ok, from bold one: Tallum and Majestic are both good with +STR, Tallum being the one used for speed builds more and Maj for those wanting to avoid stuns as much as possible. Doom, meh, ok but where's NM?

Bold two: EH? Poling is perhaps the fastest way to lvling.

Bold three: OE GS? Where's Infernal Master? It has Focus too and also the A-grade PVP bonus, not to mention that with just +3 it beats a GS+9 in Pattk. And a DS with Critical Bleed? With Boss jewels and Tallums around it must be one of the worst SAs for PVP, not to mention the low dmg it does.

DS Health and IM Focus are the two swords you gonna need, first you go with the DS and after you've lost the Health bonus to dmg you can switch to IM for higher crit chance. Or go all the way with DS and have earlier Frenzy.

All of this ofcourse is excluding S-grade gear.

Couldnt be silent ^^

That entire page is useless.

Prophets, enjoy buffing in +6 Avadon Robe set or +6 BW Heavy. Gluck getting those sets to +6, too...

Nukers: DC (100M) for PvP, Nightmare (85M) for PvE, SoV/Acumen (100M) or SoM/Acumen (135M)

Apparently the author thinks all players are eb@yers...

Nah, money making isnt the hard part in this game, just takes a bit of time.

Yes and no. When you have money to start with, it is easy to make more. Starting from scratch is much harder. I was able to make 60mil in about 2 months starting with only 200k. I thought it was pretty good, considering my initial investment.

[_Charmille_]

With 200k, you can get enough seeds to go for few mil profit.

Yeah but I didnt even leave town. I was too lazy, at that time, to put forth the effort to do seeds. I would set up my computer to buy or sell and check it like once a day.

When I started on Franz, seeding was not really an option. In fact, it still sucks to seed on Franz.

[Katastrophe]

Lol OL section talks about +int, game won't even let you modify int as a healer. And +men I mean wth!? Basic rule of any caster class is to -men to + something else that's actually usefull (like int or wit).

Good try, but I bestow upon this guide a D+ for effort and getting some info correct on other classes. OL section gets a definite F and just giving it a grade is being generous.

But seriously, Majestic robes !?!?!?!? MAGIC POWER SA !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? "or light armors.. for party"!?!?!?!?!? And LOL saying you should go with two-handed mage weapons for more m.atk I mean come on!!! What's next, is he gonna recommend for nukers to beg buffers for focus because they think it would help with magic crits? how about DW for extra magic crit damage? :)

Whoever wrote that definitely never played either WC or OL and most probably not didn't even play an oroka shaman.

[jkoster]

Well, I can say that the guide is a little older too. Formatting it was a real... well, I won't use that word. It's not polite.

I am sure that Seridove is looking for more contributions, if any one wants to provide an updated guide.

After reading the replys I had to check the page myself:

[ QUOTE ]

Prophet

Note that you cannot change your INT stat.
You may want to try to get an avadon robe set to +6, or blue wolf heavy set to +6. Any weapon with acumen will do.

+STR : good for solo or additional damage in PvE.
+CON : increased survivability in PvE, especially if you wear heavy armor.
+WIT : faster buffs. you still cannot buff a party faster than a warcryer.


[/ QUOTE ]

Sooo, why exactly the +6 (on the robe)? BW Heavy or Avadon Robe? Any weapon with acumen? Wit/Con or Wit/Str or the whole -dex way?

Prophet with acumen weapon, Avadon and +wit can buff like what? 4 ppl (3+himself)?

I would say:

Armor (buff>fighting):
Divine/Karmian for C grade
Blue Wolf (robe) for B grade
Majestic (robe) for A grade
Majestic (robe) for S grade

Armor (fighting>buff):
Plated Leather/Full plate for C grade
Blue Wolf (heavy) for B grade
Majestic (heavy) for A grade
Majestic (heavy)/Draconic Leather for S grade

Weapon (buff>fighting):
Stick of Faith /mana up for C grade
Stick of Faith /mana up for B grade
Stick of Faith /mana up for A grade
Stick of Faith /mana up for S grade

If you plan to do PvP with the buffing setup, consider a higher weapon grade. Also gettin a 2nd weapon with acumen is possible (SoF /mana up and for pvp SoM /acumen for example).

Weapon (fighting>buff):
Anything you like from C to S grade (besides poles or bows, I suggest duals but thats just me maybe).


Dye:

1. +4wit -4men

2. and 3. of your choice. +4dex +4con -8str for pure buffer setup (extreme end 1), +9str -5con -4 dex for pure fighter setup (extreme end 2). Anything between that or just nothin is ok (I did +3str -3con and was happy with it).

i LOLed. i wrote this like a year ago. end of C4 i think C5 still on the PTS. if someone wants to write a better guide, that will persist over the course of 1-2 chronicles, be my guest.
edit for completeness: its much easier to make fun of someone that tries, and fails, than to make fun of someone that doesnt try at all. let me know how the easy path works out for you.
