SKILL SPAM

Stats
• full pow (or full wiz)
• 28 dex + full pow (or full wiz)
• 58 agi + full pow (or full wiz)

If you are going to sub a magical damage class, use wiz for your stats.
Use pow stats if you are subbing a physical damage class.

Suggested Subs

Blademaster, Dancer (different dances), Shaman, Wizard (scrollcasting) Witch Doctor (blood curse poison)

TIPS
Understand the element system and spam the "good" skills more frequently than others. Use Toughen Magic and Offensive Aura often to keep your damage output boosted. If they don't last long enough, consider alternating between the two so you spend less time without your attack buff.

ELEMENT SYSTEM

Fire beats Metal - Metal beats Wood
Wood beats Earth - Earth beats Water - Water beats Fire




EXAMPLE
If you are fighting a monster who has water element:
• using earth element skills will cause more dmg than regular skills;
• using fire element skills will be weaker than regular skills;
• using water element skills won't make a difference;
• using earth onyx on your weapon will increase your damage.

AOE

Stats
• full wiz
• 28 dex, full wiz
• 28 dex, full pow (DPS)

As an AOEr, you'll most likely sub another magical class for more skills. Because of that, we suggest that you use wiz instead of pow.

Suggested Subs

Shaman, Witch Doctor, Wizard

TIPS
Understand the element system and spam the "good" skills more frequently than others. Use Toughen Magic to boost your damage. If you don't feel the need to use it (because you're super powerful or something..), use it before going head to head against a boss.
