Rei's kinda-ok guide for Heavy/Robe Fox.

I noticed, also I edited after you posted, and didnt realize it.

You have a typo on HH90 cape. You said 18 stats and it adds 27. Which makes a huge difference.

lol yea oops getting tired from studying lol.. anyway... but thats really stretching it trying to get +12 of every stats... n loosing crit/channeling to me is seriously not worth it...

i guess right now venomancers have it easy with their phoenix destroying everything.. and the only thing we need to do is stay alive while that happens... that will be good and well until people reach the 9x-10x and start ++ and gems in their gear ... that's when the phoenix wont even do enough dmg to kill someone by themselves.

+12 isnt really streatching it as much as you'd think, you can get higher then that with the 90s accessories.

After messing with crit and channeling for myself, I can see I'd rather have the extra survivability that heavy provides. Not like your damage is going to be lacking without crit/chan gear.

Hm wow, didn't expect many (well, anyone for that matter) to build so closely to what I was doing with what I kept hearing about focusing on one "build". I honestly never saw any good in light armor as a fox. You've got to have magic to equip your weapon, and the rest (with the exception of the minimum dex) might as well go into str for power. Another stat to focus on kills things in my opinion.

I'm off for a bit and suddenly when I come back I see this, nice job.

Also to address an earlier question, it doesn't perfectly answer it but I believe it'll help.

I restatted into fox build at 56 and ended up using the mirage sword, stats were still a bit funky so I needed to do it again, but if you're along the regular path of this build you might be able to use it, it's a pretty decent weapon. That or later on after my 2nd restat I used an order of the stars (good luck finding one, I had a hell of a time) until I was able to use ancient arbor.

The basic idea of this build I've found is to sacrifice armor, weapons, or money, you can use current level armor and a magic wep several levels back, or current wep with old armor, or if you can find well enough statted gear, current versions of both.

On auction lol, lucky snag when I woke up had 23 hours left... with buy it now of 100k. b:victory

I agreed with Danni abt either u wear the current weapon and lower lvl armor or wear current armor with old weapon unless u equiped with nice stats equipment. Thats y equipment with stats is imporant n get those reduced requirment equipment. One more thing be prepared to pay cosy equipment repair lol. Nevertheless it is a very interesting built.

For my current lvl 47, if anyone interested,
My stats are:
Vit 5 (+5 equipment)= 10
Str 91 (+5 equipment)=96
Mag 128 (+13 equipment)=141
Dex 26 (+3 equipment)=29

I know my HP is misery low, maybe I take Rei's advice to get the HP shard.

hey all,

im buildng heavy Veno right now, im still 25

we al know we must do STR and MAG and a lil dex for armor requirement
which one better for this fox form veno between str bigger than MAG or MaG bigger than str

Focus on whatever points you need for your armors, you wont have any stats spare to add for damage.

@Reikara

you said that u make this build start at 79 with stat reset.before that we just being a pure arcane( mag) Veno because of stat distribution

is it always like that ? or we can build that heavy/arcane veno from the early ?

mine is still 25
oh yeah i like to combine heavy armor and robe, i.e heavy for shirt n pant, robe for wrist n shoes because of stat distribution n to balance between P.def n M.def

with this build, i have tried pvp/duel with some pure Mag or Mag/con venos, and i won.. especially because their very low p.def

hmm, the one problem i see is that when i'm completely buff i get about 46% reduction damage in human form and about 54% in fox. and because this game is so nice, having more defense point after 60% ish is kinda pointless cause the increase is so little compare to the damage reduction you get.

so, that's why i'm not sure if it's a good idea to switch to light or heavy when you compromise the damage you are dealing. any thought? btw add one human form with arcane gear unbuff :P

thanks

You dont really compromise any damage, Heavy uses the best magical weapon, which would be the same weapon a light armor would use(weapon does majority of the damage). Consider most light venos stick by 3/1/1 they wont have more mag then heavy(unless they had mag gear bu you should really go with vit gear for extra bonuses). So damage isnt comprimised as you put it.

Also I believe Solardi posted a defense/damage reduction/hits taken statistic that showed, that even though the damage wasnt getting reduced as high percentage wise, you were able to take just as many more hits as the previous increases.( sorry if that sounds confusing, couldnt think how to word it lol) Basically even though, for instance, an additional 1k pdef would only add 1% reduction and the previous 1k pdef added 3%, it would still add the same amount to your survivablity(extra hits taken). So all defense increases help equally.
