THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE WARRIOR TYPE NAMEKIAN
UPDATED FOR LEVEL 55 !
Welcome to Jazziel's Guide to the Warrior type Namekian, full of advice and help, for the new and old Players of DBO. Have Fun reading and Comment!!
Namekian Warrior:
Powerful main class, most noted for it's very potent defensive buffs, mainly the LP ones. To Level to 30 Fast This the Best Skill Setup:
Namekian Warrior 1-30 Build(Click)
Purely Physical Side Levels the fastest to 30, because of the ease of use and spamability of them.
(If Your Permanent Kid This is where you Stop Reading....)
LEVEL 30:
CONGRATS YOUR LEVEL 30!!! Now If your Stuck on HOW exactly to turn adult and main class you are looking for this brief Guide, courtesy of Citrinate:
Master Class Guide(Click)
AFTER YOU TURN MAIN CLASS REMEMBER TO GO TO SKILL RESET!!! This is important so that you can redistribute your points according to the main class you chose.
Shadow Knight
Now 30-55, will be WAY Slower than 1-30 was, but hopefully more enjoyable.
If your Shadow Knight There is Only One
Build For you to be honest
. No variations or anything, though depending on If you like more, less of 1 thing or another, though after some testing this in my opinion the best
build for Level 55.
PvP Shadow Knight Build(Click)
If you thought Shadow Knight is the Top Tanking Class look lower for DW my friend. Shadow Knight is the PvP type of the 2
classes, less emphasis on the LP and defense (though you focus on those 2 stats when looking for gear), but alot more on damage and constant DPS. Shadow Knight is my main class and i enjoy using it for PvP.
Why not PvE you ask? The EP drain is far too high. within seconds of fightin your EP is gone, and because all your attacks (the strong ones) are single target (with the exception of Cleave), you really suffer in PvE, Though When it comes to Boss Soloing the SK has no equal, the Drains + your naturally Big LP and Defense are a huge bonus.
As a SK, your main attacks should be Life Steal, Bold Strike, Cleave, Slash. All these attacks use your Axe as a damage base (the weapon from which your damage is decided, bigger upgrade = more damage).
Sharp slice is too weak to be useful in my opinion and it just raises the already expensive cost of having to increase your glove to make the attack strong (yes sharp slice and violent slice do NOT, i repeat NOT use axe for damage base, Glove is used). Violent Slice is useful for a added stun in PvP but that's where the usefulness ends.
PVE SHADOW KNIGHT
I repeat a Shadow knight for PvE is NOT adviced. NOT adviced i repeat... BUT if u feel you simply MUST have a SK, this is for you.
PVE BUILD FOR SK (Updated, 02/09/11)(Click)
This is a
build focusing on strong dmg + slightly longer duration before you need to pot (note the increase in master champion). As I have said before and still maintain SK uses a ridiculously high amount of EP in a stupendiously short amount of time SO when looking for gear for a PvE SK you want LP/Defense/EP Regen Per hit/EP Increase. This would mean that your SK can last as long as possible before your EP pool is gone. IF SK is used for PvE I strongly advice it to be mostly a boss killer, PT tanker. You CANNOT replace DW as a mob tank,boss tank or Aggro target. Why? Your Defense/LP is little compared to a DW your level. a Lv 50 SK with good LP + gear reaches 14k LP. a DW? 18-19k LP if not more dependin on money.
Dark Warrior
Dark Warrior (unlike SK) can be skilled up in several ways, those are, KnockDown -Type Dark Warrior, AoE- Type Dark Warrior and the most popular type, Physical only Dark Warrior.
AoE Type DW
Build:
Area of Effect - Dark Warrior Build(Click)
This is the DW built for Pure PvE (Player versus Environment) gaming, meant to allow you to farm or kill as many mobs as possible as fast and as efficiently as possible, this
build focuses on your AoEs and your defenses, and absorb. Its all about being able to tank more and more mobs so you can AoE more and more.
KnockDown Type DW
Build:
Knock Down - Dark Warrior Build (Click)
This is the type of DW that allows you to chain a amazing amount of knockdowns, similar to a Karma Maijin, very useful if you enjoy PvP but you dont want to roll a SK, be warned to make this
build viable RP chips in scouter are needed, and a heavier than normal LP/defense equip, with some energy attack % on your claws to cover up the lack of defenses and increase your damage. Your main attacks in thsi
build are Hellzone Grenade, Dragon Strike, Beam cannon. This
build is the strongest (damage wise) of the 3 builds, with hellzone capable of dealing 2-3k, beam 2-3k, dragon 1-2k. Be WARNED!!! This
build requires a heavy amount of zeni to pull off, due to requirements of having to + your glove (for powerful hellzone/beam damage) AND your claw, (for strong dragon attack). This is a
build strictly for those who want to enjoy PvP while not having to sacrifice the DW Class.
Physical Only DW
Build:
Physical Only - Dark Warrior Build(Click)
This is a
build that focuses heavily on the Physical aspect of DW, very much fast paced damage, and somewhat cheapest
build, zeni wise, because all this
build really needs is a high phy attack/str claw, and a OK LP/defense set ( you can of course buy better if you so wish, but a decent one is enough - aka, 300 lp or so per piece in set). This
Build is pretty much ideal middle ground, Ok in PvP but not the best, ok in PvE but again not the best, simply for just rocking physical attacks easily and without worries. This is also the very cheapest
build so it's also for you if you think your zeni wont ever be high.
End-Game PvP advice (level 50 +)
from 30-50 if you PvP you will not misss often and you will probably be slightly overpowered when compared to other people your level. At 50 this changes. ALOT... At 50 all
classes seem to get a systematic bonus to attack, defense, hit rate, dodge rate, off system i mean. This means that a lv 49 and a lv 50 have a massive difference in PvP capability. Also means though that suddenly ALL Sks at 50 start to miss OFTEN, and REGULARLY with their main attack, Bold Strike, same thing for DW's main attack hellzone grenade. Do not be discouraged, it doesn't mean your suddenly weak or you messed up. Far from it it's normal, a way for game to balance out the
classes.
There are ways to bypass the lv 50 miss rate problem somewhat. Aim for 900+ hit rate, (ideally 950+). Why? Because 900+ hit rate is the mark when skills with low miss rate fix (all attacks beside your strongest attack), start to hit nearly always, around 95% of the time, this is VERY VERY helpful for PvP, meaning that if you come up vs, say... a Dodge Built Fighter, you can pretty much ignore your main attack and use the others. For this to work your weapons have to have a high upgrade else your attacks will be weak. If you dont have a high upgrade on your weapons when your main attack misses you r dead ¬¬
ACCESSORIES
PVP ACCESSORIES
Get accessorices with this symbol:
出血持续时间减少
This is bleed duration reduction. possible to hit 80% reduction with a good set so that means all other SKs can only bleed you for 2 seconds, makes PvP vastly easier, be warned in duel you will be raping SKs with this, but in ranked a SK with powerful attacks can still win with other ones stacked onto it.
Also get this accessories set:
阻力增加
This is resistance increase, again very useful versus nearly all characters really, capable of hitting around 60-70% chance of missing stun, this is my preferred set when fighting humans, means i cannot be killed by a human easily. Versus SKs this set is BAAAAAAD, also not that useful vs fighters, but it helps, also means it is harder to debuff you so very useful vs spirit type humans.
Ideally if you have the zeni get both :D
PVE ACCESSORIES
Cooldown reduction rings, earrings are highly in demand for a PvE player, especially PvE DW so as to allow a oft repeated use of AoE as possible, the symbol for it is this:
冷却时间减少
Strength increase accessories are also useful, of course for the damage increase, here is the symbol:
强度的增加
Dexterity, is your 3rd most important stat for accessories, as it increases your hit rate and as a Namekian hit rate is a top priority, whether PvP OR PvE, symbol:
灵巧增加
Another option beside dex is to get hit rate accessories directly, which adds more hit rate, but of course no crit rate, dodge rate bonus, the symbol for it is:
命中率增加
Again, ideally if you have the zeni get a mix of Cooldown reduction with a Dexterity/Strength Necklace according to your preference.
Thanks for reading! Comments and note on improvements are welcome!
