1. About Myself
Hi! This is my first time to write a guide and my first time to post so please go easy on me I decided to make this new guide because I think Blitzkrieg’s guide is kind of outdated and I just love using dual raiders even though it is one of the most underrated classes. I’m not one of the strongest players out there but I’m just willing to help people who want to pursue the path of a “Dual Raider”. My IGN is Vongola10th, Leonis server, level 230. Feel free to PM me anytime. Check my sig why I chose to be a dual raider. So let’s start.
2. Leveling Guide
Note: This leveling guide is focused on party leveling and based on my experience because it is the easiest way to level up, usually they have a cleric or Sacri (soldier’s unique skill) with them to make life easier once you get your AOE skills, you will be a lot helpful to parties and won’t just be sitting around.
Level 1-10: Just follow the quests
11-20: Honeybees/Woopies in Zant
20-30: Woopies or Aquas in El Velroon Desert.
30-50: Moldies in Junon
50-70: Doongas/Krawfies in Kenjie’s Beach
70-100: Stone Golems in Gorge of Silence. Option 2 is DOD but too risky.
You may now take the 2nd Job Quest. Congratulations!
100-140: Oblivion Temple B2 in El Velroon Desert
140-160: Oblivion Temple B3
160-190: Sikuku Underground Prison. *Once 180, you may skip to Sikuku Ruins if you have a decent party
180-220: Arachnas in Sikuku Ruins
220-230: Gate of Muris (Orlo)
Congratulations! You now reached max level! Cheers!
3. Stats and Builds
Note: I’ll be referring to Blitzkrieg’s guide on this part but feel free to experiment your own build. Another thing is I can only compute for level 220 builds because I’m using Rescudo’s Stat Calculator to compute for the stats. This is just a general guide so feel free tweak your stats on your own taste. I won’t care if you add a little bit of charm
Facts about dual weapons:
· 1 dex = .35 AP
· 1 str = .55 AP
· 1 sen = .1 AP
Dex/Str/Con will be your primary stats.
Attack Power Build
STR: 260-300
DEX: 300-350
CON: 220-240
*decide on the remaining stat points
This build is focused on getting high attack power as you can by sacrificing dodge rate. This build is better in PvM as you will be leveling alongside with a support cleric.
Dodge Build
STR: 180-220
DEX: 350-400
CON: 220-240
*decide on the remaining stat points
This build is focused on getting high dodge rate by sacrificing fire power. With low attack power, it will take longer for you to kill monsters but they will miss you more often than the AP build and you could lure better.
Balanced Build
STR: 292
DEX: 293
CON: 220-240
*decide on the remaining stat points
This build is for people who neither want too much AP nor too much Dodge.
4. Skill Tree
Note: I could only compute for a level 220 skill build because I’m using StijinDP’s Skill calculator. Again, this is only a general guide, feel free to level the skills you needed the most.
Common:
Melee:
Bow:
Raider:
*you may choose to drop your AOEs once you're 230 and take the katar accuracy passive.
5. Equipment
Don’t mind your gears until you reach level 200 because you can level easily with gears just bought from the NPC or loots from monsters. You may want to upgrade your weapon though to kill monsters faster. Save up those zullies because being a raider is really expensive. Your equipment also depends on the situation. Either you need more AP, dodge, accuracy, so on and so forth.
Armors:
· Honor Sets (For PvP purpose)
· Reinforced/Legendary/Valor Raptor Sets (PvM)
Jewelries:· Sea, Typhoon, Lava, Union Jewelries
Gems:· Jade = dodge rate
· Diamond = Attack power
· Enchanted Sagittarius Stone = Movement Speed
· Moonstone = Accuracy
· Star Agate = AP and Accuracy
· Star Quartz = Dodge and Accuracy
· Garnet = Dex
· Ruby = Str
Weapons:· Glorious, Chivalrous, Luminous, Precious Dual Blades of Saint Kreuz
· Hardened/Balanced Dual Blades of Saint Kreuz
· Destruction Blades (Best Dual weapon)
· Exalted Dual Hoalfrost
If you’re rich, feel free to explore the IM. Can’t suggest of any because I don’t have any and I’m not rich \
6. PvM/Pvp
Dual Raiders rely on skill spamming. So practice your combos and time it right. Once you max your MP passive in the bow skill tree, you won't need MP foods. Power is the main arsenal of dual raiders not Speed. Have fun!7. Credits
