    Hi, it's my first time playing perfect world, or an mmorpg for that matter, and I decided that I would like to play venomancer light armor build. I've been reading most threads and they say that int + 3, str + 1 and dex + 1 for every lvl and I should have two extra stats at the end to put into anything else.

    I already placed 3 into vitality so my vit is now 10, does that mean I should restart my venomancer to get the perfect light armor build? I am at level 14 and i have been placing everything into strength and intelligence before i thought of checking out a forum.

    That's my main question, I have other minor questions like, I want to make sure what light armor is, is it the ones that come with some magic and physical resistance, while heavy is pure physical and robes are pure magic? Also I would like to know how to acquire rare pets that spawn every 12 hours. How will I know where and when they spawn, when as in how much time has gone by since it last spawned?

    Thanks for the help

    If you want to restart you can, but it shouldn't be difficult to get 1 stat from your equipment. I think you're fine as is. Just be sure to find a ring or even armor that will add in that extra stat for you.

    Light armor is the one that is balanced between physical and magical. Think of light as 50/50, while heavy armor is 80/20 physical/magic and robes are 10/90. This is a pretty rough estimate on my part, but it should give you a good idea.

    You can find rare pet locations at ecatomb.net under pet-> rare pet. It's hard to say when they spawn though, because it depends on when they were last captured. You will either have to find someone on your server who knows and is willing to tell you or camp the spot yourself.

    Hey my Venomancer has

    str 11
    vit 10
    mag 14
    dex 11

    Is that bad? This is my first time with the venomancer.

    If you're going for light armor, you don't want to add any more vit. If you're going for a mage fox, you don't want to add anymore dex. Either way, it's not a really good idea to add evenly to all 4 stats.

    try the actual heavy armor build guide lol, it really reqiures a good necklace, belt, cape and rings with +str/mag/dex to meet gear requirements. using those + build found in the heavy build guide helps alot :).

    Yeah, my guide doesn't cover pure heavy armor. Only robes/light/dual (heavy + robe). I just can't see it as a viable build, so if you do want to go on that path, feel free to check out the guide Tear linked.

    um...hi, I'm a lvl 41 venomancer, and I was wondering what I should start setting my attributes to.
    I currently have:
    Vit-44
    Str-58
    Mag-97
    Dex-35

    HP-1548 MP-2359 ( with equips)

    Idk what build I should be,but I think whatever would help me with PK for TW, and fbs for later lvls so I can solo them.

    @brentbest: Fox and mage yes, but not as an arcane build. You should look into a light armour or heavy/robe hybrid build.
    (These builds are centered around PvP)

    Light = Higher crits, accuracy, evasion, decent physical defense and magical defense.
    heavy/robe= Decent crits, accuracy, evasion, higher physical attack, higher physical defense and magical defense.

    @Halice: If you want something for PvP/TW I suggest the same, light or heavy/robe.
    Arcane is garbage in pvp :/

    I don't get the 'AGI = 3' part...
    What does it mean?

    AGI is Dex, When you start the game, your dex is at 5, but with a reset note you can lower it to 3.

    Ah, thank you :)
    I know Agi(lity) means Dex, but I didnt get the 3 part.
    I was like: '3 Dex every level or something?'

    Thanks again!

    I want to do this build:

    1: Robes
    Low phys def, Very high magic defense, high hp.
    STR = (Your level + 8) / 2
    MAG = (At least Your level x 3)
    VIT = (Remaining points)
    AGI = 3

    This build can be customized by removing points from VIT and putting them into MAG instead, for higher damage output vs lower survivability.

    But I'm kinda confused. Right now, I'm level 2 so I have 5 points to distribute. My Vit is 5, my Mag is 6, my Str is 5, and my Dex is 5. Does that mean my stats should be as follows:

    STR = 5
    MAG = at least 6
    VIT = ?
    DEX = ?

    I don't get it. My stats already seem to be okay or am I misunderstanding something? Or is this just because I'm still a low level?

    At level 2 it's hard to go wrong, if you follow x3 for magic, and dex and strength to meet equipment requirements (robes and magic weapons only!) you'll be allright, at least for the first couple of levels, after that you'll have to divide the surplus points between vitality and magic. DEX (or AGI) is hard to get below 5, so keep it there for now.

    What I posted were minimum requirements, so yeah. Your stats are fine, you can divide up the remaining points between VIT and MAG as you see fit.

    vit arcane builds are overall the best in PVP, using pdef ornaments, and citrines in armor. i can hit 7k hp with barb buffs, and 7.5k matk buffed, its slightly weaker than all mag, but it can survive way better.

    goal to aim for would be:
    300+ mag with gear
    125-200 vit with gear
    54 str

    your preference on how you wanna approach vit, but mathematically it survives spike damage the best (such as AOEs from mobs)
