You need to remember as well with this new expansion we are going to be heading to lvl 150.
Where can we lvl? what would we be killing to get to our next lvl? do we have to party all the time to get there? or can we solo?
Since we can not mob [nerfed SP/HP pool] and plus we have lack-luster skills [even the extended skills suck] how are we to get to lvl 150????
last report I heard the Bifost patch which may or may not have the SN extension isn't due out till end of this year....is that confirmed? or just Hersey?
i have reset my SN [who is lvl 99/99] so many times trying to find the right build and I can't seem to get it right. I've tried them all
SN caster [can cast AoE but can not mob low HP. with renewal the way of the insta-caster was no more...
]
Double-atk melee [hi dps but can not mob. No AoE. if INT is high enough could also use Auto-cast gear. Also uses high AGI to get decent amount of flee.]
Hybrid [jack of all trades a master of none. Stats to evenly placed can't do the dmg out put of specialized builds.]
Crit-melee [can crit alot but dmg out put low. if linked can use platinum shotel and dagger of counter to get over 100+ crit also use fury to gain even more crit.]
SN auto-caster[Sage type, but gear reliant to auto-cast]
SN support [trying to use an SN as a support is not going to work that well. They do not have the HP/SP to help their fellow party members out if a sticky situation. let alone themselves.]
I made the SN way back in the misty past as a fun character but he seems to have been hit with the "We don't Care about the SN" stick that many times he's black and blue.
Most of the current builds I have seen on Yimir are melee Merchant builds none use magic atk that I have seen or spoken to. most seem happy to use them as vendor's rather then go out and hunt with them.
They could have made SN's so powerful and ALOT more fun if they had thought through it better.
only extended skills i want will be :
Faith
sanctuary
gloria
Impositio Manus
earth spike, heavens drive so i can get quagmire
maybe axe mastery depends on what weapon i use.
the rest not really sure on as I have no idea how we could use them. the spells are a waste as no one uses SN caster [if you want a caster make a mage/wiz] same said with crit make a sin [only cool thing is SN can have higher crit then assassin, due to buff and weapon links.]
if anyone can give me a GREAT build that can do decent dmg output, survive, and even lvl well then please share it with us.
Cheers
