[WIP] Basic Trickster Guide

[Krowley]

I thought you get 2 Soul consuming finishers.
One is regular, while another one deals poison damage.

If you read carefully I was referring to Dual Swords. If you use Claws you have two finishers. At level 20 you only have one if you choose Dual Swords.

EDIT: Of course being a lowbie I'm not able to go to Uruga to check out their higher level skills so there may be more soul capture and/or finisher skills.

Thx for the info

Thanks for the great info
It's just what I needed.. didn't really know which weapon to go for but now I know I'm sticking to the claws for my Pure STR.
Trickster FTW!

Rather surprised this thread has 600+ views already.

After playing for a bit more I have to say that if you plan on Dual Swords it may be a better idea to stick with Claws until 35 when you get your second finisher for the swords. Max CD on Lacerate then save up. Or you can, of course, switch weapons but that seems like a hassle.

I personally stay Dual Swords and have maxed CD on both soul capture skills. Slap on a Def, Vit, and Evasion scroll and you're good to solo. The biggest draw back is SP consumption so stock up before leaving town.

Right now I am doing 25spr 50dex fullstr and it's kinda tough. Without a buff I will die in about 5 or so hits against monsters my level (17). I would be wary of doing a pure str build as it will be near impossible to solo at later levels. As of now, it's almost a given that tricksters need lots and lots of potions so having the potion making skill would be ideal. I'm not quite sure how well this class will work in a party as it does not have the defense to tank nor to handle AOE attacks if someone else tanks. Seems to me like it is just a melee archer.

Well, yeah, it is rather tough but I found that after I did the job change things weren't as bad.

I was actually able to tank Mara and Marlone in the KQ albeit I used up a lot of potions but it wasn't impossible. At one point I didn't even have a Cleric buff.

I'd say join an academy that always has the guild buff going to help you. 5% may not seem like a lot but it will help.
