It use early power strike and slash blast, so its gonna eat out your MP, which is gonna eat your mesos spent on MP potions. So, you got your 1st job! now you're a warrior! and you got a bunch of skills to use. ONLY AFTER THAT Complete the quest from Olaf and start doing Dances' questline. Talk to "Dances with Balrog" and he'll advance you as a Swordman if you have the requirement stats. Go to the Shrine of Warriors which is located at the highest point of Perion. To be honest you should've more than 35 at lv10. Three snails is useless since you do already more dmg than throwing the snail shells. Skill build should be max recovery and max nimble feet. LEAVE THE ISLAND AS SOON AS YOU GET LVL 10, then go take the Quest from Olaf - but DON'T complete it until you get the job advance from Dances with Balrogs. (means: the chair quest and the parts of Lucas/Mai's training). Just to the necessary quests and not beyond unless you'll leave the island with lvl 11. Should be a piece of cake since your main stat point is STR. The lower you cap your dex, the more dex/acc-based gear you need, thus more funding is needed. Still doing miss to monsters? build urself a dex/acc based gear. Means, that at lv 40 ur dex should be 80. Then you put all ap to STR every time you lvl. In that case, AP distribution should be dex=2*your lvl until lvl 40. I'd prefer the base dex one since its suitable for most guys who it is their 1st character and thus not having a very good amount of funding, also its make the dmg range more stable since dex raises the min dmg. There are 3 kinds of AP distributions: Basedex (where u cap dex at 70-90ish), Lowdex(where u cap dex at 40-25) and Dexless(where u cap dex at lower than 25, or having just 4 dex). Not a big matter, since main stat is STR and 2ndary is DEX.
* Its not easy to learn how to use Berserk, also it limits you from fighting effectively against bosses like Anego * Slashes happen a lot in 2nd and they are fairly weaker than stabs * Berserk doubles your dmg at max lvl when your hp goes below a certain % * Bonus dmg for stabs which make the dmg even greater at 3rd job and beyond * Longer Ranged Attack than other warriors It costs some mobbing ability at early 3rd job, but in the end it won't be such a big diffrence. You'd do about 6k damage as opposed to about 24k damage per hit with Buster. When you are fighting Pianus, are you going to be using Dragon Fury on it? Of course not. Well, the main reason to be pure spear is Buster (AKA Spear crusher) which is a skill that u get at 3rd job. So I share the whole things related to this class: skill/AP builds, training places, weapon guide and more. I made this guide since I love this class and I'd want to share the way I play this class with you guys.
