    jeeez, why so much hate???

    I checked her pw calcs turns out she was using some stuff that she got from one day to the other, but anyway, her ideas were on the right path, just because they were poorly written or not expressed correctly doesn't mean you all have to go Tupac Amaru on her and rip her in pieces.

    me atm, no cash shopping hence the crappy refines on armor and **** shards.

    About expel... everytime I have casted it on myself it has worked against sins. Not a single one has "unticked the buff" whatever that is anyway.

    Rank 8... ya well I only needed a few days of Nirvana and merchanting to get the 60m and get me R8... oh well, im sleepy

    SneakyStalk out

    Well,this is the epic part.

    I thought necros applied to all threads except stickies,so my bad.

    In my opinion. Grammatical errors happen quite often. I've read many posts that have had errors in them. One thing people need to understand is that not everyone who plays this game is American. I have friends who live in UK, Ukraine, Austria ect. They misspell alot of words but I don't bash them for it. I understand that english isn't there native tongue. I know when I type to them they can't understand everything. But they are still my friends.

    After reading this guide I have to say it has helped me alot. She even covered what most guides don't. Even if opinions vary. But she put a genie section in her guide. I meet alot of new players and the first thing that confuses them is there genie. Not everyone understands them and what they are capable of. Instead of bashing people for there mistakes I try and help correct them.

    I understood this guide perfectly. She made this guide for her faction as she states not everyone in her faction comes to the forums. To me that is fantastic for her to take the time away from what ever it is she was doing to make this. I applaud her. Good job on the guide. There will always be difference of opinion. That is how guides become great. People coming togather sharing there opinions. No matter how much you know about this game, there is always something you can learn. One of my favorite quotes "You always learn something new everyday!". Good luck and happy gaming. b:pleasedb:victory

    I think this guide should be stickied.

    THE MORE DAMAGE WE DEAL (DEX) = LESS SHOTS TAKEN TO KILL A MOB/PLAYER = LESS HITS WE RECEIVE

    This statement, while often true, requires several assumptions which are not always valid:

    When you fight easy monsters, this statement is almost completely true. However, when you fight "elite" or "boss" monsters, this statement is almost completely false. And PvP is complicated -- in some situations this statement will be true, but in some situations it will be misleading.

    First, if you deal too much damage, too fast, when fighting a boss, your tank will lose aggro, which has all sorts of implications.

    Second, if you are using fists or claws with a high attack rate, your dexterity has only a minor effect on the damage you deliver. When fighting a single, high health target, using fists or claws with a lot of -interval gear can make the fight a lot shorter than using a dexterity based ranged weapon. Note, however, that most of this damage depends on your supply of chi, which heavily influences how you fight.

    And then there is barraging, which often requires you be hit.

    Anyways, this issue is not always simple.

    Vit builds have a harder path than dex builds (until you get really good equipment you will almost have to fight in squad, to be efficient), but in some situations a vit build will out DPS a pure build, simply because the pure build will not be able to attack. (If you die, that would be a good example of this case.)

    Finally: a properly outfitted, and buffed archer, with +5 gear, can tank a world boss. (Needs a blue bubble and ironhearts.)

    The Best Demon Skills:
    • Quickshot: Gives 50% chance to increase your attack rate in 30% for 6 seconds. And has almost no cooldown, so u can keep casting it until it triggers. :3
    • Lighting strike: Demon metal attack NEVER MISSES!!!!
    • WingSpan: AOE physical damage, once casted it triggers a winged shell level 5 around you.
    • Barrage of Arrows: Decrease interval between hits - 0.5 and its more powerful than maxed.
    • Sharpened Tooth Arrow: Increases 10% to crit hit for 15 seconds

    The Best Sage Skills:
    • Take Aim: Gives 500% damage to one shoot.
    • Winged Blessing: Gives 14 meters range increase
    • Stunning Arrow: Increase stun duration up to 4.5 secs.
    • Sharpened Tooth Arrow: Decreases boss HP up to 20%
    In summary Demon is all about less interval and more crits = PvP Oriented

    And Sage is more consistent damage and defenses = PvE Oriented

    The absolute best feature of demon cultivation is the increased attack rate for your normal attacks that you get from demon spark and that you can get from quickshot. Demons also get temporary and permanent boosts they get on their critical hit chances. Demons also get extra evasion (which can help break up skill combos -- evasion's chance of creating a hole in a combo increases exponentially with the number of "must succeed" attacks in the combo) and accuracy (which can improve the odds of skill combo success). Also, their spark does not have a chance of reducing blue bubble's protection.

    But attack rate does nothing for your skills, and normal attacks mostly just deal physical damage. Sages get some faster metal attacks and sage passive and buff damage bonuses sometimes means they get higher max damage on their critical hits. Sage winged blessing also works nicely with sage stun and take aim when fighting non-human player characters. A sage archer with sage winged blessing and an increased range weapon will have longer range than anyone else in the game.

    (Note: it seems to me that blue bubble applies its damage reduction buff every five seconds, and lasts for five seconds. Sage spark overwrites that damage reduction buff with a reduced damage reduction buff which would last for 15 seconds if not overwritten by blue bubble. So, depending on the timing of the spark, you have a chance of spending up to 2 seconds with a reduced damage reduction buff when you use sage triple spark in blue bubble. Meanwhile, if blue bubble falls after having overwritten your buff, you will be without a damage reduction buff after 5 seconds.)
