Picking a Character and a Build.

[Drakii]

Berserk is a skill that increases the damage by like 300%. Unlike player characters that can only melee under Berserk status, mobs can use their skills freely. This results in some nice 5-digit damage numbers that DP alone can never block. Add to this that under Faint status you cannot use potions, you will understand that it this isn't a situation you want to be in.

Sorry to smash some illusions you might have, but your raccoon hasn't seen 10% of what the game can throw at you yet. I'm not saying that playing a DP charm is impossible, it is just a very long and tedious way of gameplay that most players will never walk, thus it wasn't mentioned in this guide.

In short, don't PvP with a DP anything, really. I'm having a tough enough time surviving during some "for fun" GvG battles.

I'm PvM and will generally shy away from those monsters O_o When do they start showing up all over the place?

And if a DP raccoon isn't a good choice....what else has good survivability? SoH Dragon, maybe, but...?

Tap1 is a common training place but the monsters can cast magic. DP won't save you there.

Ice Bears is one of the training maps that can cast Faint + Guard Break.
Bats also do the same.
These two places are for players level 200+.


Any class can survive. It just depends on what equipments you can get.
SoH magic users will have good survivability but you don't learn SoH until TM120.

Well, I'm considering Power classes but I heard they're underpowered until third class. Magic could work, but it's always so painful to constantly cast on every enemy...what skill build could I work with if I went 1414 (I can't stand not having 4 charm for some reason)? Sense could work too, but it's either inability to do damage or "paying for every hit with blood" E.G. being OHKO'd is not out of the question. And I'd love to do Charm, but HP and HV charms irritate me, and DP charms appearantly fail. I'm in a pickle...

BTW, I'm unfunded and don't have access to MyHax items...I might go Lion for the gun skills and Crazy Drilling Mode now that they released it...sounds good to me--drill spam? While it's slow, it's a nice way to level up/fund other characters.

EDIT: I just realized that a 1144 Fox may be my cup of tea. With decent damage, good defence, good drilling, high WT limit, good LK and HV...the ultimate tank. HELL YES! Everything I want in one character...tanking (HV, DP, HP, LK), carrying space (WT), drilling/refining (DA, LK), damage (DA, LK depending on route, I heard Landmine was LK based, so I was thinking a LK Fox 'cause a LK Fox is hilariously good at dodging (decent HV + crazy luck (block rate/magic dodge rate))...how many LK/DA skills do Foxes get?)...wow.

Thank you Suzaku for reminding me of the uses of LK. Also, if I'm going LK, what are the disadvantages, and should I go Thief Master for Explosives Expert or Hunter Lord for Lucky Fist in terms of third class?

if you are chossing power, then choose a bunny....Buffs arent great unless they are hybrids
