Hellu!:)

Firstly,thanks Rei for such an awesome guide to H/A build It seems to be a worth trying build b:victory

I'm lvl 87 at the moment and I want to try this build at 90. However at the 89 there's cultivation and you have to choose between sage and demon. Could you tell me something/advice which cultivation is better for this build? You're yourself a sage veno as I see, but I've seen some heavy build venos going into demon... what are the most important pros and cons? I really don't want to mess up with cultivation cause there's basically no way back heh ^^'

Also, in Pk tactics you've said to wear heavy armor and arcane equipment towards certain classes, sometime to wear fully heavy or fully arcane. What's the optional equipment set towear? Like arcane wristguards and boots, rest heavy? Or perhaps it'd be good to grind mats and make both full HH90 sets and switch them depending on the enemy?

Oh, and side-question (I want to bound my whole equipment on 90, in case I'd make these full sets hh90 (heavy and arcane) and bind them, if I wear full heavy and arcane set will be in backpack - not equipped, may I lose them, even if they're bounded?


Thanks in advance for the answers

Well first of all, there's no way you can really mess up on your spiritual cultivation so long as you're sure you know what you want from it. Demon and sage will give you slightly different playstyles from level 89+ so be sure you're fully aware of what they will do for you in terms of both human and fox skills.

First of all you just want to consider what bonuses they'll give to your most important/most used skills.

Fox form:
Demon; Demon will give you a 60% speed increase for 6 seconds when you transform from fox to human, or human to fox. The fox form skill istelf also has a 6 second cool down, so if you spam it you can keep your 60% speed bonus constant.

Sage; Sage fox form gives you a 150% physical defense increase and a 250% accuracy increase.

The arguement:
Since the introduction of genies and their skills, such as holy path, it makes the demon fox form seem a little redundant. Although it cannot be spammed as well, sage foxes don't completly lose out on speed boosts.

A spammable 60% speed increase can get you out of many situations or even help you catch those annoying runaway mages and archers. 150% phys def increase actually only amounts to an extra +1000 physical defense points or, a -1% damage taken reduction.

Melee and Wodd Masterys:
Demon; Wood mastery will give you a 2% critical hit chance whilst using magic and Melee mastery will give you an extra 3% crit chance on physical attacks in fox form.

Sage; Elemental wood damage will increase by 25% and the add-on attack damage from melee mastery will increase by 200%.

The Arguement:
Sage seems a better choice for fox uses, combined with the accuracy from fox form and the extra damage from sage melee mastery. Since fox users may have 200+ str; they still lack somewhat in physical attack due to not being able to use real melee weapons.

The extra critical chances for demon on top of the 5, 6 or 7% you may already have will bring your crit chance up to around 7-13%. This may just be what you're looking for; hard-core damage and crits to one-shot everyone.

You can find a list of all the skills at www.ecatomb.net/skillwf.php
A couple of skills I recommend having a good look at are purge, summer sprint, burning scarab, noxious gas, amplify damage, ironwood, bramble.

Also consider the sage and demon sparks and chi skills.

Demon spark 700% magic attack and 650% physical damage, immune to damage for 15 seconds.

( Pwi name for it?) Daimon Provocation Instantly deplete a target of 50 chi. 1 minute cooldown.

Sage spark 900% magic attack and 500% physical attack, immune to damage for 15 seconds.

Master Li's technique. Instantly gain 50 chi. 1 minute cooldown.

To be honest, i'm always going to have both full sets of heavy and arcane. I usually find I have to mix/match them in different ways to suit my opponent. You're not always fighting pure builds of other classes. I sometimes go from arcane boots +chest to arcane legs+wrists. It just all depends on my defense needs at the time.

Bound items cant drop, i've never bound equipment before but I had always thought when you did, you couldnt unequip them? In any case, if you do have items you're scared might drop you can protect them with guardian scrolls.

I got 40 Points. I don't know where i should add them

• Vit
• Mag
• Str
• Dex

Anyone could help me?

I really don't know. what kinda build this Venomancer should be.

If you're unsure what build you want to be, this probably isn't the right thread for you. You should try asking in the actual venomancer forums. You also need to elaborate a little more on what you really need help with. Like tell us your current stats, what armours you use and what you want from your venomancer.

Well it's up to you, just base it on your needs. I went with TT90 heavy first. I'm still trying to get TT90 arcane, I came back after a month and i've got alot to do lol.

I just went with heavy since to me it's my more important armour set. Most of the time I just go full heavy in TW with my clothes over the top and stick to the ground killing all the barbs and bms

TT80 green heavy bracers are recommended with the TT90 green heavy set also. +str, dex and vit

Here's the link for the thread you'll wanna ask questions for a robe build in then :P
http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=234672

I'd recommend robes at your level too, the stats you'll need for it are vit, magic and only enough str to wear your weapon/armour.

No, magic attack rings will not apply to your fox form damage and your physical attack rings will not apply to your human magic attack. So, if you wanted more physical attack, or were a fox only user, physical attack rings would be best

Yeah so long as you fit the str/dex requirements to wear them there's nothing stopping you o.o

Meh, because if you're an arcane veno you apparently live and breathe TT mats.

Well with this kinda build it dosen't really matter which rings you have anyway since you deal both types of damage xD

But I haven't come across any physical rings with good/decent +stats either.
