Ahhhh, I'll NEVER have enough for a restat. Can someone help me? I'm trying to go for a Billposter, but I put points in stats to make leveling easier. Bad idea.

This is basically my build:

Strength: 42
Stamina: 22-26
Dexterity: 21-24
Intelligence: 30-33

I have my heart set on being a Billposter, but I put so many points into Int that I don't think I'll make a very good one. What should I do now?

Im confused about your build, but as long as you are not an AoE assist you should make a good Hybrid assist. Just pump some more into Stam - Dex. Once you are able to afford a restat (dont worry, it gets easier later on) you can change into a more permemant BP build.

Ah, thanks a lot. I'm not an AoE Assist, I just put enough Str to level by myself at a reasonable speed. I don't know why I put so much Int, I guess I overdid it when I was thinking about how much MP I should have.

[Kieran Blade]

Well, my own build is like this (for Shiu):

34 Str
36 Sta
36 Dex
36 Int

That's more balanced. I'm going for BP myself, so...yeah.

Sorry. -shameless plug-

[CrimsonAvarice]

I think I might try for something like that, only I'll leave Int at 34 instead of Str. Thanks. ^_^

[Flukey]

If your a fighting assist, never think about int just for MORE mp or LONGER buff duration. It simply isn't worth it on a small scale and if on larger scales, you might as well become full support.

If Max Mp is a probelm, refreshers should do the trick, instead of wasting those precious stats points on int which could be on other stats.

UNLESS your going for a suicidal asaal build, but that's another story.

[CrimsonAvarice]

Actually, all of the Int points came from the ones you get when you first get your 1st class change. After that, I immediately regretted it and I never put another point in. o_o

[ishimaru]

urrm i must admit , u have too many int for BP, but still its not that bad of a stats ^__^ , im guessing u're around level 30ish?? its still a long way to go and u can still improve your stats, add more dex and sta to it....Ganbatte-ne Crimson-chan ^_^

edit : wow im a psychic , i didnt see your sig and im guessing the right level lol

[SilverTears]

Max mp is a big problem, and that's when good mental sign comes by and sets if you can afford them, which will give you some reasonable amount of mp. If you really want some int in your stats don't go over 25. For str build, I would suggest a good cats, cannon, haste and accuracy on top of that

My old build was even worst that that - 37 int 30 sta in lv.4X-5X. XD
If you go 1 on 1 avoid sta if you can. Sta does not add anything good for your damage and speed. Train heap up instead. :P

[CrimsonAvarice]

...Ganbatte? Isn't that like 'good luck'? I don't trust my limited Japanese vocabulary, so thanks if you meant that. ^_^

Thanks you guys, that helps a bit more. I've been really lazy on leveling lately, but I guess the general solution is "More Stamina and Dexterity." I'll be working on that.

[ItsReiko]

Hmm, two things I should say - first, about what others have said:

By more stamina I'd only put a little bit more (and in fact stamina isn't yet necessary if you spend time to level up your heapup buff). The sta you have should probably last atleast 10-15 more levels (at level 43 you can do the plug+2 quest, which is an earring that adds 60 def and so sta becomes less needed then too). But yeah, heapup is an important buff.

As for more dex, that would be where the points should go first, in my opinion. With ~24 dex, how is your hit rate? It must feel kinda bad. However know that just cause your dex is a bit too low right now, you can train up cannonball and accuracy buffs (if you have them, and if not then you'll have them soon) and those will help correct your hit rate too.

The next thing is - I think before you do anything at all, you first need to decide whether you're going for a dex build or a str build billposter.

For a dex build
[
~40 str is enough (and you're on the ball already here) and I'd start adding a lot into dex from now (the sta is enough). The int isn't terribly bad.. well, it is, but its 15 or so points, which translates to about 8 levels of points wasted. You just gotta think, that it could be worse.
]

For a str build
[
You still need to add more dex first because ~21 dex sadly is still gonna be painful hit rate. I'd suggest maybe get it to around 50? But thats arguable I guess. Remember again about cannon and accuracy buffs which are both important for a str build.

Once your dex and cannon/accuracy buffs are built up enough for decent hit rate, maybe you'd need a little extra sta at some point (remember to train heapup and also get the plug earring+2 at level 43), but if sta and dex feels like enough, then start putting points into str to boost your damage.
]


Whichever build you want to go for, the INT suxball no matter what. But as long as you can get your char into a can-kill-stuff-even-with-the-int state, then there's a possibility that you _will_ be able to afford a restat in the future. Have faith.


I hope that wasnt too confusing. Either way, good luck.

[CrimsonAvarice]

That made a... well, a good amount of sense. Thanks a lot. ^_^

So, I'm good with Stamina for now, right? I think I'll go with the Strength build, only for now I'll be putting points into Dex until it's the same as my Str, and I'll probably make another topic when I get to that point. :P

Also, I'm 12.5% of the way to getting a restat, assuming they go for about 2 mil. Oy.

[Rabz]

Hrm, im an assist to and i still dont know which way to go, i do prefer going Billposter as i like to solo while i still want to get all my buffs if not most mastered aswell.

My stats are if i remember correctly

STR: 22
STA: 28
DEX: 28
INT: 16

Thats close if not correct.. so im not sure which way to go , i would like some strength but obviously i would like good DEF and above average Hit rate.

Any help for a Pre v6 Nub :P
Appreciated.

i wonder what an assist build would be like with equal str/dex and 15 sta/int. I think it would be worth makin, however i would hate to make another assist and lvl up skills, F that!

lets see, lvl 60 stats could be 74(88),15(55),74(100),15....with a couple arek rings to make up for a little dex so you can make that speedbreak. Hmm looks kool, lvl 70 could be 84(124),15(55),84(104),15....with a couple strentes and a couple maxed buffs...oooo that would be hot...daddy like.

[Zestible]

I'd dez it up till you had like 65 dex (Get cannonball to 15 so you get the +15 dex and get the 80 dex aspd break. Pump stam a little and you couls be set.

Giant it up for a restat later on. ;o
