[Genesis] Characters Builds, Info & Buffs Formulas

[ADMIN]

Note about Characters

• If you want to be good and beat many people with BK you really need to have good combo-skills, else the character is a waste!
• AE is considered to be the TOP Hunter.
• SUM can be a real GOD on PvP if played very well (with all debuffs, sleep, etc.).
• EMG and ARF are TOP HOLDERS! Their power on PvP is limited, so go for SMG/VRF for PvP.
• All RF builds require STR for their base damage, VIT/ENE/AGI only increase % skill damage, so you need both.
• All PvP builds (Not AE/EMG/ERF/ARF/etc.) are balanced for end-game on PvP. On the same level / equipment there is a 50% chance on duel between each other to win.
• Keep in mind that without at least 2000-5000 VIT on ALL CHARACTERS your chances on PvP are low due to dying before SD is down
• Rageful Blow is now the main PvM skill for BK early on (has been buffed).
• Same can be said about Summoner and Lightning Shock.
• AG cost reduced for Rageful Blow, Fire Slash and Lightning Shock.
• Max. points in a single stat: 30.000.
