Hi, I'm a returnee in RO and my AB just hit 185. I use Adoramus as my main skill but I use ME as supplementary skill as well. I have a modest budget as the gears are generally expensive for a new comer so I have limited funds [around 6B]. So before I reset my stats and skills, I need some clarification and advice on what to do with my AB moving forward.
Current Stats:
Str: 72 (for extra weight capacity + gym pass to carry tons of gems, -60% mdef bypass if PDM's effect is followed)
Agi: 90 (reducing cast delay? this was planned using Skin of Typhon)
Vit: 90 (self explanatory. this was planned using Skin of Typhon)
Int: 120 (maximum bonus with Mob Scarf)
Dex: 120 (maximum bonus with Mob Scarf)
Luk: 26 (leftovers)
Current Gears:
+13 Amistr Beret [MHHS Card]
Sunglasses [MHHS Card]
Mob Scarf
+9 Abyss/Icefall/Samael
+13 Adoramus Holy Stick [Spell 5 MATK 2]
+12 Mad Bunny Special [Alice]
+7 Shoes of Punishment
+11 Deviant Etran's Undershirt [For tanking] +12 Geffen Magic Muffer [R.Arclouse] for DMG
Valkyrie Drop [Headless Mule]
PDM [Headless Mule]
Aco/Priest/AB Shadow Gear, only AB Shield is +10, the rest +4
Here are my top questions:
1. On MVPs, I struggle alot on damaging high MDEF bosses like Contaminated Dark Lord [200k-ish Adoramus DMG], is Vesper Card a necessity for AB?
2. Currently I have a leveling skill build. If I reset I should free up 5 skill points from Renovatio and Cantocandidus. Should I go 10 Oratio or 6 Oratio 5 Expiatio??
3. Does Expiatio's -25% MDEF stacks with MDEF Bypassing Gears? Does it works against MVPs as well?
4. On MDEF Bypassing gears, does Magician's Glove and/or Perverse Demon Mask works on MVPs? (I only have PDM at this time so I can't really tell if it bypasses boss MDEF)
5. Is Ring of Nature a good investment for AB?
6. Is no cast no delay Adoramus attainable? For ME, how to reduce skill delay?
7. Should I change to +13/14 Valk Hammer + Illusion Gears [Manteau+Boots]?
