Need Venomancer build-Help

It depends on what you want to do with your veno, and what you're looking for.

There are four veno builds that have been extensively researched (if not extensively used):
1) Arcane armor (or AA)
2) Light armor (or LA)
3) Heavy armor and arcane armor (HA/LA)
4) Heavy armor melee veno (HA)

AA is the easiest to build. AA gives a bunch of magic defense, and very little physical defense. It requires 3 points magic (MAG) per level and enough strength (STR) to wear your current robes and magic weapon. The rest of the points can be allocated where you choose. The most popular builds are pure, where the remaining points are put into MAG, and vit/vitality, where the remaining points are put into vitality, either all or some of them. Here is a guild for this build.

LA is a pretty strict build. LA gives moderate magic and physical defense. It requires 3 points MAG, 1 point STR, and 1 point dexterity (DEX) per level, no deviations, in order to wear both light armor of your level, and a magic weapon of your level. You're looking for hit point and vitality modifiers on your armor. There is no specific guide to this build, but that's about all you need.

HA/LA and HA both use heavy armor. HA gives lots of physical defense but little magic defense. These are the toughest builds to build, and HA/AA especially is only recommended after level 70 or so. HA/AA uses both heavy and arcane armor, and accomplishes this by using stat bonuses from equipment. This requires quite a lot of restatting and often uses expensive or rare armor pieces to enable the build. Furthermore HA/AA has no set stat allocation in particular. Here is a guide for HA/AA.

HA build uses melee weapons and builds somewhat like a blademaster, from what I understand--Kittenice is a good person to talk to about this, I think she is on Heaven's Tear server? But she is active here on the forums. The difficult part about this build is that venos are usually a caster class, and so all of our skills require us to either be barehanded or using a magic weapon. Beyond that, you'll want to talk to a melee veno as I really can't tell you too much about it.

It's a generally accepted premise that AA is a good build for PvE, while LA or HA/AA are better builds for PvP, but you can do both PvP and PvE with any build.

Your typical arcane Veno build is 1str,1vit and 8 mag. every 2 lvls

By the way, someone with a good knowledge base and experience desperatly needs to write a guide
specfically targeted for LA venos, and maybe even a melee one.(Kittennice <)

Thats very true when I first started I looked for one but couldn't find any good information on them b:sad

You can also get LA/AA hybrids, but there's nothing you have to change in building a regular
LA veno. It's just popping on robes, some preffer it for the higher mag def :x

Being one LA/AA hybrid (Minmaxing)

LA armor lacks Mag / Mp bonuses so you try to find the equilibrium

I only go for arcane arms (some boots are worth, not all)
I Always keep legs / Torso LA

If you wanna PVE => all ornaments should be elemental
If you PVP go for PDef ones

at 80+ you have 2100 + Pdef / 5400 + Mdef / 2500 + Hp

Refining equipement is a must
