When a SwordMans, start off by getting HP Recovery to 5 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to unlock MaxHP so you can Max it out AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so you can get every bit of HP possible because it’s going to cause a huge problem in the future when fighting big stuff and you have a few thousands of HP less then yor friends and you’re trying to train but keep dying from low HP, so yeah.. do that and you will be fine.
Next, Master Power Strike, and then Slash blast to have maxium hitting power. And the other two skills are useless.. Iron Body just raises your Def by just a little… saves 1 or 5 Damage and that won’t make a huge difference when fighting stuff later on that do 500 Damage or 1500 Damage. And endure that speeds up your hp recovery or a rope or lader, might seem cool but when level 70 and you have 6000 HP, waiting on a rope for an hour to recover half of your half is not cool or time wise.
Ok, so you finished pretty much all your important skills for the first book, now you will improve upon those skills in your second book. I’m a Fighter so I will give you the set up for the Fighter Job. When you get your second book, Master Sword Mastery AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because warriors don’t have a lot of Dex to hit stuff or niether a stable attack range so this will be one F%&KING big help to you. When you master it, your damage will be really high and stable (Stable meaning for example, instead of doing 1000Damage one time and the next tim 400Damage, now you will do 1200Damage and 1000 Damage) and your accuracy will go up +20 and thats a lot. After that, go master Rage because you do want to be the strongest one in your circle of friends… don’t you? When you master Rage, you wil lget +10 Attack which is so amazing that words can’t explain it.
After that, go master Final Attak because it will save you a lot of potions by doing another attack after performing a attack meaning you will cut your MP pot prices 60% down, pretty much because it performs it 60% of the time. After that, put a few points into Sword Booster because it will add speed to your Sword or Axe, and you might be asking your self why I said a few points instead of mastering it… that’s because mastering it or not, it doesnt make you sword faster but every point into it adds only 10seconds on the skill so instead wasting skill points on it now, do Power Guard that is really useful to by taking 40% of the damage caused by a monster to you, back to the monster! and then you can master Sword Booster just for the sake of it. Congratulations, you mastered all your skills in the Second Job book.
Ok, time to get serious now. For the 3rd Job -Crusader- you will gain skill abilities to make those attacking skills from level 10, a thing of the past and gain new much much much stronger skills such as Panic Sword that you can do up to 40,000 of Damage when mastered or Coma Sword that you can do like 20,000 Damage to a mosh of monsters. Put a few points into Combo Attack that wil basicly increase your damage by 220% which is like having another Power Strike added and it looks cool and its basicly one of few skills that are open from the begining. After putting like 5 points into it, put a few points into Panic and Coma and as levels pass, you should master those skills some day at like level 100 or so. Relax only helps you recovery MP faster and why waste skill points on that when they are so hard to get, shout is a pretty weak skill and it looks pretty dumb to. Armor Crush only cancel out enemy’s physical defense up skill in a certain rate which can maybe make you do a few hundreads of damage more y having your monsters having less def. Shield Mastery is useless if you use Two-Handed swords because you need a One-Handed Sword and shield to use this skill basicly.
I hope this blog helped you and cleared up some things you were concerning about. Ok, I’m tired.. I’m going to bed, bye bye.
