Okay, I'm not *quite* a royal guard yet. I'm a 99/70 paladin.
I've read and read, but I can't seem to find a RG guide from recent times which handholds a dummy like me. This is my first character on RO, and thus, my first third class character!
Until now, I've pretty much just used my +5 Malicious Crescent Scythe plus Spear Quicken 10 (and pecopeco plus cavelry mastery, naturally) for everything. Now, transitioning into royal guard, I would like to expand my usefulness. I've a guild now which does things together, so that added usefulness would be nice. I guess what I want is to still be able to solo when my guildmates aren't around, but to be useful to them when they are.
I have an Imperial Spear waiting to start with once I change classes, so I'm prepared to switch to a shield build. So long as I can solo, I am willing to mix things up bigtime, even using more magic and such. I don't think I like Battle Chant, though, because of the immobility.
Here is my information. I would really appreciate suggestions on how to change things around before I make the switch (I have the reset items for both stats and skills). I am particularly concerned about the stats, but I'm sure I made skill mistakes, as well. Thank you!
